London, Sept. 25.-The attempt to
hold a pro-Boer, anti-war demonstra-
ton in Trafalgar Square, London, Sun

made.

the round voyage, some clerk in the Of
flee OF the captain of the port doing a
little convenient winking at the dispar-
ity of elapsed time.
when the modifying fever was at its
highest Gen. Otis opened wide the
closed ports, and, besides the resultant
flow OF money and ammunition that
flooded into the besieged districts, the
insurgent clearances showed that the
vessels actually paid per cent tax
at every place they touched to the In
surgent government.
Admiral Dewey on May 15 ordered
his cruisers to disregard all clearances
and stop all trade with ports not ac-
tually in possession of our forces This
radical step was advsedly taken on his
own responsibility after conference
with his captains. Gen. Otis dared not
resist the order, when informed of its
issue, although he resented it. If he
had openly disagreed to it his protest
would have had to go to Washington
and he would not run that risk. So he
followed Dewey's lead and decreed the
closure of all ports not under his effect

about that date occurred the re-
markable scene in the meeting of the
commission at Manila, marking the
|culmination of the difference between
the commanders-in-chi afloat and
ashore, which was soon followed by the
admirals decision to start for home. 1t
was at this same meeting that Dewey,
according to current belief, calmly used
the expression your lying reports to
the governor general.
In the discussion regarding the ef-
feet on the supposedly friendly natives
lof Admiral Dewey's order restricting
trading Gen. Otis brought up his plans
for utilizing the thirteen gunboats he
had purchased from the Spaniards in
the southern island. Dewey interrupted
him and put an end to the army's con-
troll of any force af1oat by the emphatic
declarations: If these vessels come out
of the Pasig rivers manned as you pro-
pose, will seize them as a menace to
public safety
Gen. Otis has Evolved a scheme to
send them out to hunt smugglers, with
Filipino firemen and deck hands, native
pilots, and officered by army noncom-
missioned officers and privates. He had
no idea of the necessity of putting sin
gle officer aboard who could run the
vessels mile without pilot or having
force to handle them if the Filipiros
deserted or showed treachery.
Dewey told him the insurgents would
possess every one of them within a
week after they left port, and then de-
clare that he would seize them.
About June Capt. Barker assumed
control of the little gunboats distrib-
uted throughout the fleet by attaching
them to the various ships on blockade
duty. and in less than month all inter

tary Allen of the navy department re-
ceived a cable from Rear Admiral Wat
son giving a brief account Of the en-
gagement at Subig Bay. 1t is dated the
oath at Manila and says:

"Insurgent fire heavy, but poorly

The important feature of the engage.
ment is the fact that the insurgents
have been able to obtain a Krupp gun.
1t was known at the time of the out
break of the insurgents against the
Americans that the artillery of the in
surgents consisted of few obsolete
guns captured from the Spaniards.
Acting Secretary Allen says that it is
evident the navy at Manila does not
intend to allow any fort which can be
reached by the ships to be erected by
the insurgents, and he is convinced
that the squadron under Rear Admira
Watson will be able to keep the shores
guarded and repeat the lesson of Sat

September IS and as already cabled,
proceeded to Subig bay to destroy an
insurgent cannon there.
Owing to the bad weather the opera
ton was postponed until Saturday,
when the warships for three hours
bombarded the town of Olangapo and
the intrenchments where the gun was
situated.
Men from the Charleston, Concord
and Zafiro We're then landed under a
heavy insurgent fire, and proceeded to
the cannon, which was utterly de-
etroyed by gun cotton, and then re-
turned to the warships. The Americans
had one man wounded during the en-
Eagement.
While waiting in Subig bay for bet
ter weather the Americans deserted
Filipino reinforcements moving toward
Olangapo. AT $40 a. M, the Monterey
began the advance upon the town,
which was about three miles east of the
monitors anchorage. The Charleston
Concord and Zafiro followed.
AT 1926 the Monterey opened fire with
her secondary and main batteries, the
Charleston and Concord Joining imme-
diately. AT 7:3S the insurgent cannon
answered. the first shot passing close
to the Monterey's smokestack. The
gun was fired twice only.
The American bombardment then be-
came general. AT $3.50 the Monterey
advanced to q range of 600 yards using
her main battery. Two hundred and
fifty men were landed about 500 yards
east of the cannon at IL o'clock under
a severe shore Mauser fire. The men
from the Charleston We're the first to
reach the beach, but the Concord's men
were the first at the gun, which they
reached at 1910. The cannon was found
to be 16-centimeter Krupp gun, pre-
sumably obtained from the Spaniards
Meanwhile the warships continued to
shell the shelving beach on the east and
west sides to silence the insurgent fire
upon the sailors from the trenches
skirting the beach. Gunner Olsen ex-
ploded fifty rounds of gun cotton, in
three discharges, In the cannon, which
had suffered from the fire of the war

The Americans then returned to the

cords men were the last to reach the

WHEN DEWEY OPPOSED OTIS.
Letter From Philippines shows
Need of Firm Hand to Direct
Affairs.


Washington, Sept. 25-Much light is
thrown on the Philippine situation in
private letters received in Washington,
and one of these indicates that effective
steps have been taken to shut off the
supply of ammunition and arms that
Aguinaldo appeared to be getting from
the outside world.
The following letter from naval Off
Ger, written about six weeks ago, tells
how it was done:
The state of affairs in these islands
is curiously akin to the situation exist
ing at certain periods of our own civil
war. when the rebels wanted cash and
literally had cotton to burn which they
dig not ship. The islands are full of
demp, sugar and tobacco ready for the
market. Any one able to get these prod
ucts out of insurgent ports can procure
them at his own price. The foreign
houses of the chief ports own or con-
troll great fleet of small steamers and
sailing vessels, and all that is requisite
for highly lucrative trading is clear
ance for the insurgent ports, where the
merchandise is stacked up awaiting
sale. Getting safely out of such port,
with full cargo insures enormous
profits.
Before the navy secured control of
the thirteen purchased Spanish gun
boats no clearance was needed, as com
merce was practically free. The little
merchantmen simply ran stuff from the
closed insurgent ports to open islands.

open ports were easily avoided. In q
