DYNAMITE UNDER THAT SHIP
Tale of an Alleged Plot to Blow Up
the Leander.

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 1S.-The moss
sensational local war sorry since the
Boer imbroglio began gained circula
ton in this city last night and this
morning, and while promptly, emplat-
ically and unaualifedly contradicted
by all the officials competent 70 speak,
IL has left reactionary excitement
that is extremely difficult TO allay.
Briefly, the alarming rumor, which has
been rraced to two humble members OF
the Leander's crew, was to the effect
that a deliberate plot, having for its
object the destruction of that cruiser
and incidentally of the naval craving
dock at Esquimalt, had been discover
ed Just in time to avert che threatened
catastrophe.
A dynamite cartridge, Nor bomb of
some kind, so the story ran, had been
found underneath the warship, as she
rested on the blocks in process of
cleaning and overhauling, early Tues
day morning, and eff something had
not gone wrong with the thing" war
ship and dock and all the formers
company would have met a terrible
fate sometime during last Monday
night.
Such a story naturally travelled fast.
Ii was late in the evening when the
sailor lads told it first to a fascinated
little group at khe Savoy bar. Within
a very few hours it had reached the
clubs and restaurants and hotels and
the very vehemence of official contra
diction impressed a considerable num-
Der with the idea that there might be
good foundation for the report.
Discussing
the rumor, Were equally ready to adj
nit the possibility if not probability
of just such a thing having occurred
The Beers have many friends and
sympathizers just across the line, it
was argued: there had been numerous
visitors to the dock on Monday; a
large proportion of these visitors car
ried cameras; and what could be diff
cult about smuggling a large enough
internal machine to do the mischief
past the watchful sentry in the Suise
of the humble camera?
Captain Fegens' absence from the
Sons of England dinner, which he had
been expected to honor with his pres
ence. was even interpreted as corrob-
orative of something amiss.
Captain Fegens and his ofhceTs ana
Captain DevereauX and his dockyafd
official staff say positively that the re-
port is without foundation. The long
series of repeaters of the tale, being
/ followed back, person ito person, Tx
the originatiOn of the yarn on the two
entertaining bluejackets of the ship,
! who retaiIed it to an officer Of Dodwell
! 4 Company over a friendly glass OF
beer.
The Leander came out of the dock
this afternoon. She certainly is unin-
jured. and it is anticipated that she
/ will follow the Wafsprite very shortly
on their southern cruise.

HE IS MUCH SURPRISED
To See the American People
COuntenance the Attacks
Now Made Upon
Him

Dewey has at last unbosomed himself
regarding the transfer of the "gift
house" to his wife. In an interview
explaining the transfer he showed sor-
row and at the same time resentment
at the manner in which his action had
been received. He said he was eur
prised there was no one to defend him,
and he felt like throwing the whole
thing up, going on the retired list and
going abroad.
"When made over the house to
my wife, began the admiral, 81
thought 1 was doing the most gracious
act that an American gentleman could
do. 1t seems that I was mistaken.
Mrs. Dewey understood better than
did the feelings of the people and at
first declined to permit the transfer.
She consented only after an arrange
ment had been effected whereby not
only the house, which:wss the gift to
me of the American people, but her
entire personal fortune. which is con-
siderable, WAS to ultimately GO to my
son George.
81 would never have believed it pos
sible,'' continued Admiral Dewey,
s'that the Americans who lately ap-
plauded me could so suddenly turn on
me. When sailed into Manila Bay
over dangerous ground, with death and
even worse in front of me, 1 little
thought that in such brief period OF
time after 1 returned to my native land
the American people would counter
ance such monstrous attacks upon me
because L was doing what L considered
to be the most gracious thing L could
do-to present my house to my bride.
1 feel like leaving the country"
YOUNG DEWEY TO WED.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The next
Dewey sensation will be the marriage
of Geo. Dewey. Jr. Report has it that
he is to live in the Dewey home in
Washington, while the admiral is to
live in Mrs. Dewey's handsome home
on K street.
Admiral Dewey says that he himself
will occupy the gift house, but when
they get into the social swim Mrs.
Dewey's mansion will be much better
for stately functions
Young George is now q dry goods
salesman, travelling for q New York
house. His job is nothing extra and
gossip has it that a plump government
position has already been lined up for
him.
Besides her social aims, it is said
Mrs. Dewey is determined to enter a
political campaign.
THE GIFT HOUSE TRANSFERRED TO
YOUNG GEORGE.
WASHINGTON, Nov. PA deed was
fled for record this afternoon by
which the Dewey home is transferred
by Mildred Mclean Dewey and her
husband, Geo. Dewey, to Geo. Dewey,
Jr.. his son, for consideration of $40.
On the margin o: the deed is a writ
ten reservation by which the parties of
the first part are given life interest
in.the property, and in case of the
death of either the life interest
reverts to the survivor, either wife Or
husband.
THE HOUSE MAY BE SURRENDERED.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Admiral
Dewey is said to be on the verge of ILL
ness and very much inclined to return
to the Dewey home committee the gift
house. Many persons believe the re-
turn of the house to the donors by
George Goodwin Dewey is the logical
outcome of the great flood of criticism
with which the ADMIRAL is being del
lged.
