EVERY MAN WILL GET A MEDAL.
Souvenirs for Participants in the Bat
tie of Manila Rny.

1t is stated at the Navy Department that
the medals awarded by Congress to the
officers and men who participated in the
battle of Manila bay, May 1, 1898, will be
distributed to every man who took part in
that glorious event, FROM Admiral Dewey
down to the humblest employe in the feet
In all 1925 of these medals will be dis
tributed. Every man attached to the Olym-
pia, Boston, Baltimore, Concord, Raleigh,
Petrol and McCulloch during the famous en-
gagement, regardless of rank or station will
receive one.
The McCulioch is a revenue cutter and
at the outbreak of the Spanish war mad ar
rived at Hong Kong on her way from Nor
folk to San Francisco. When war was de-
clared the McCulloch was transferred to
the naval service. and being added 10 Ad-
miral Dewey'S gallant fleet accompanied it
on its memorable cruise from long Kong
to Manila bay. She rendered efficient serV-
ice in the brilliant engagement which cul-
minated in the total annihilation of the
Spanish fleet under Admiral Montijo. The
McCulloch acted as Admiral Dewey's dis
patch boat and carried to Hong Kong the
first official news OF Admiral Deweys great
victory. In view of these facts ii was
deemed eminently wise and proper that
the officers and men of the McCulloch
should share equally with the others in the
distribution of the congressional medals.
Notwithstanding the fact that the vessel
has since resumed her regular duties in the
revenue cutter service under the Treasury
Department.

Manila bay. who rendered active assistance

GOVERNMENT FOR HAWAII.

VICTORIA, B. C. June I9.-W. F. Men
dell, member of Congress from Wyoming,
is spending 4 month in Honolulu studying
the conditions and political prospects Of
the Islands.
Il think there is no question that Ha-
waii will be given a territorial form of gov

Il do not see how anything else can be
done. Personally, 1 am in favor of a ter
ritorial FORM with the most liberal system
of government.
Il insist and shall insist that the Ha-
waiian people should have the handling OF
an their local affairs.
This country has been independent many
years and kept pace with greater powers
in all matters of government.
i am sure that your public men, who are
familiar with local conditions and the views
and needs of the people. can enact your
local laws to far better advantage than
Congress can hope to do.
MY ideas of just the form of government
that will pe established are these:
"A name the Territory of Hawaii rela-
tionS with II TO be precisely the same as
now between United States and it's terri
tories of the mainland, except that Hawaii
be left in absolute or as nearly absolute
control of its local affairs as may appear
best for the public interest

platform will prevail in Congress, but be

the east, will be extremely friendly 10 such

SEVENTEEN GOVERNORS RESPOND.
Gov. Sayers Pleased mt Prospect of
Anti-Trust Conference.

AUSTIN, Tex, June 19.-Gov. Sayers Is
much encouraged with the prospects of a
large attendance of governors and attor-
neys general at the antitrust conference
to be held in st. Louis September 30. Up
to this time seventeen governors have re-
sponded to his invitation to attend the pro-
nosed conference. OF that number thirteen
are outspoken in favor Of the antitrust
measure, three are non~oommittal and one
is opposed to antitrust legislation. Gov.
Savers received a letter Saturday from
Gov Robert B, Smith of Montana, as fol-
lows:
II heartily indorse your action in calling
a meeting of the governors and attorneys
general of the several states and territories
for the purpose of discussing the subject of
trusts and Of state legislation that will
tend to do away with the evil. God being
willing, j will be with you at the meeting
in September, and ! will try to persuade
our attorney general to attend"
The replies so far received by Gov. Say
ers are about evenly divided between DEM
ocratic and republican governors.

INTEREST IN NEGRO SCHOOLS.
Better Class of whites in South At
tend Commencement

NEW YORK, June 19.-The American
Missionary Association, through its secre-
tary, DR.. A. F. Beard is in receipt of re-
ports from many of its educational institu-
tions in the south, especially in Georgia and
South Carolina, showing an increasing dis
position on the part of the whites TO attend
the commencement exercises of the various
schools of the higher grades for the blacks
Such attendance has been made by busi-
ness men, school committees and teachers
of the whites, and public officials who have
expressed sentiments favorable to the idea
that the good and substantial elements of
both sides, in the south, have Identical in
terests in maintaining law and order, and
all that appertains to the good of society,
the church and the government; that good
citizenship can be obtained and exemplified
only by a people Industrious, moral and in
telligent; that no race troubles have been
or will be traceable to the schools of the
association, conducted as they are
Attendance on these commencement ex-
erciseS, it has been said, is an earnest of
white sympathy with the education of the
negroes. These facts are said to be of
special interest to Congregationalists be-
cause it was in one of their assemblages in
Boston, that Governor Northen recently
discussed the race question, and they show
that there is a sentiment in the south diff
ferent from that which indulges in race
conflicts and in lyrching.

TAXING CANTEENS.
The War Department Unlikely to Ac-
cept the Pennsylvania Decision.

1t is improbable that the War DEPART
ment will accept as final the decision of
the Pennsylvania state court declaring that
the army canteen is subject to state taxa
ton. The impression is that there was no
proper representation of the governments 8
side of the case in this particular instance
and that the courts ruling was one de-
livered in default. The officer in charee
of the canteen at Camp Meade appealed
to the War Department for assistance In
defending the case, and the War Depart-
ment, approving of his application, trans
mitted 1t to the Department of Justice with
the request that an officer of that DEPART
ment be assigned to defend the case.
1t is believed that the decision was rem
dered before the defense could be prepared
The principle involved is believed TO he
important, and it is significant that the
Pennsylvania decision is directly in CON
fiict with the formal opinion of the Court
of Claims in case involving the canteen.
That court decided that the canteen was
lone of the instrumentalfties of govern
ment," and therefore, exempt from taxa
ton. That opinion will rank very high
legally as precedent.

Although an official answer has not yet

Product of the Precious Metals in
Last Calendar Year.
VALUE LARGEST IN HISTORY
A Steady Increase in the United
States Shown.

Mr. George E. Roberts. the director of
the mint, today made public his estimate OF
the gold and silver product of the United
States for the calendar year 1888 The
value of the production is about 81, coo. 600
greater than last year. and is the largest
of any year in the history of the United
States. The only possible exception to this
was one year when the gold production of
California was at its heighth, in the 4O's
An approximate at that time fixed the total
at about s65.0tOO0O, close to the figures of
last year. That amount has never since
been reached, however, until the past year
Steady Increase.
Mr.. Roberts said that while the gold pro-
duction all over the world is growing, It is
comforting to know that the product of the
United States itself shows a steady increase.
He was confident that this calendar year
would also show an increase, because tha
reports from Colorado, Washington and
Nevada show an increased production in
those states. Colorado's output last year
was I,o0O,oO0 greater than the year before
and that state furnished more than half Of
the recorded increase.
The figures made public by Mr. Roberts
include only that portion OF Alaska which
belongs TO the United States, and do not
touch the product of the rich KlondilIe
region.
Colorado leads as a gold producing state,
with California fairly good second. In sill
Yer Colorado also heads the list leading
Montana by 5000, 900.
The increase in the product of silver is not
lear as great as in the yellow metal, large
ly because many silver mines We're aban-
doned, owing 10 the cheap price OF silver.
These mines were profitable with silver at
a good price.
The following is the approximate distribu-
ton by states and territories of the product

OUR TROOPS In THE TROPICS.
Results of the Observations Of In
spectOr General Breckinridge.


Inspector General Breckenridge has made
a long report to the War Department in
regard to his recent inspection of the army
posts in Cuba and Porto Rico. The follow
ing are among the points made by Gen.
Breckenridge as a result of his observa-
tions:
l. The extraordinary expansion and per-
centage of recruits temporarily Injuries the
discipline and instruction of the army.
.. A number of organizations may expect
to again show considerable sick list.
8. The subsistence articles both for issue
and for sale, however liberal in the past,
can be wisely increased with benefit to the
health ard contentment of the soldiers. For
the ration, more vegetables, fruit, sugar
and lard seem most needed.
4. A uniform is needed, perhaps, prefer
ably blue, of thin goods, more stylish than
khaki, more serviceable than white, cooler
than previous blue cloth or kersey. Such
goods. of proper color, are familiar in the
tropics.
s. Flannel should be worn next to the
skin, especially about the bowels; partfc-
ularly for unseasoned troops.
9. Heavy walled, two-storied barracks
are the best for health: and the more near
ly these are approXimatcd the better. If
tents must be occupied, have them three
thickness of canvas, and foored well of
the ground. Each additional layer Of can
vas removes several degrees of heat. Cots
are important.
Z. Issue waterproofs and rubber boots.
s. Have short, sharp well-var1ed military
exercises, sports and instruction; avoiding
hottest sun and heaviest dews and down
pourS.
8. Riding hall and gymnasium of in
creased Importance and hill stations desir
able, with adequate grounds, on the dry
side of the mountains.
10. Adequate ventilation should be in
sured entirely around the head, and heat
held off from the skull by corrugated ma
terial between sweat leather and fleadgear.
Brain and bowels demand special attention
both from heat and rain.

Boer Chieftain Will Take the Ag-

KIMBERLEY FIRST TO Be ATTACKED
Intends to Destroy De Beers Dia-
mond Mine.
THENCE TO CAPE TOW N

LONDON, June 19.-The St. James Ga
zette this afternoon claims to have received
from an absolutely reliable source at Pre-
toria. capital of the TranSVaal the plan OF
compaign which will be followed by Gen.
Joubert commander-in-chief of the Beers,
in the event of war between the Transvaal
and Great Britain. Gen. Jouberts force, II
appears, will consist of 10000 men, armed
with Mauser rifles, in addition to forty-slX
quick-firing guns and 1000 artillerymen,
most of them drawn from the German and
Dutch armies. With these troops and help
expected from the orange Free State, Jou-
bert expects to take the offensive immedi-
ately after the declaration of war, enter the
Orange Free State and march on kimber-
ley, the British diamond mining center IN
West GriquaIand, which forms four of the
seventy divisions of Cape Colony. kimber-
ley is about 100 miles northwest of Bloem-
fOntein.
To Destroy Railways He Cannot Use.-
In his march on Kimberley, Joubert will
use the railroad as far as available, expects
to capture the town with slight loss and
blow up the De Beers diamond mine. Stimuli
taneously, it is added, the railroad from
Cape Town to Bulawayo will be destroyed
by Boer sympa thiZers and agents in Cape
Colony, who will also destroy the Port
Eliza beth-Pretoria line, south of Bloemfon-
tein. to prevent British troops from using il.
Finally, immedia tely after Kimberley Is
captured, Gen. Joubert will advance on
Cape Town, the capital of Cape Colony,
through the western provinces, where the
Dutch predominate and are expected to JOIN
the Beers Gen. Joubert calculates that ne
will be master of Cape Town fortnight
after the declaration of war, and he will
then be able to dictate terms of peace.

Although the offer contained in the above
telegram Is naturally very gratifying to the
officials OF the War Department, il is stated
that II cannot be accepted, at least for the
present. inasmuch as it would involve the
calling out of volunteers, a plan which the
President desires to avoid unless rendered
absolutely necessary by the exigencies OF
the case In the Philippines. Moreover. il
Is said at The War Department that even
