IMPORTANT NEWS EXPECTED.
Santa Cruz VIII BE cutie a Point
when II Is Captured.

Washington, April 9.-The war depart
ment authorities look for important news
from Manila tomorrow, announcing in all
proba bility the capture of the city of San
Ia Cruz, leading town in a country as
and now in the hands of the Filipino
forces.
No report of the movement of Gen.
Lawton's men has been made to the war
department, but the Associated Press an
nouncement occasioned no surprise for the
movement is looked upon as one of the
natural steps in Gen. Otis carefully laid
plans against the insurgents.
Santa Cruz is a place of considerable
importance in several respects. II is the
capital of the province of Laguna and
has a population, according to the best
valuable information here, of considerably
more than 1900 persons. 1t is regarded
as likely that Gen. Lawton already has
gained possession Of this little stronghold
for it is but a short Journey over the Bay
Lagoon, a fresh water sea which comes
almost UP to Manila itself. which is forty
eight miles away from Santa Cruz.
The details of the dispatch show Gen.
Lawton, by essaying the formation of
squads OF twelve men each, VIII make
thorough reconnaissance Of the ground be-
fore making a definite attack upon the city
and vicinage. 1t is felt here that there
will be only a show of resistance by the
natives and whether they actually sur
render the town or abandon it to the
southwark, the campaign against the place
Will serve as an object lesson Of the de-
termined policy of our forces in the isl
ands.
Santa Cruz Is apparently an opening
wedge for the country beyond. From It
lead highways in all directions, to Manila
by going around the shores OF Bay La
COON, and to the important point OF Ba-
tangas and the well advanced province of
Tayabas, whose capital city Is located
ninety-one miles from Manila.
Gen. Lawton, however. may not contem-
plate any material advance beyond Santa
Cruz at this time as 1t is a very broken
country covered with mountains and the
rainy season is coming on 50 that his pur-
pose may be merely TO gain an advanta-
geous position for the future.

ways than as a judge of the United States
Supreme Court. He was a member of the
Hayes-Tilden Electoral Commission in
1917, and voted with the Democratic min
ority. In 1880 he received sixty-hve votes
for the Presidential nomination at the Gin
cinnau Democratic convention on the first
ballot,
In 1873 he was appointed by the Governor
of the state of California one OF the COM
mission to examine the code of laws OF
that state. In 1866 Williams College con-
ferred upon him the degree OF LII. ID. In
1863 the regents of the University of Cali
fornia made him a professor of law in that
institution.
The Famous Terry Case.
In 1889 one of the most sensational events
Of a remarkably active and vigorous ca
reer, largely passed In a new country in
process of development from a pioneer
state to a highly civilized community,
brought his personality vvidly before the
public. Sarah Althea Hin Terry had
brought n famous Suit against ex-senator
Sharon, California multi millionaire.
Justice Field was on the bench. The out
come Of the case was unfavorable TO the
plaintiff and engendered In her. feelings of
hatred of the jurst This eliminated in
her attempt to chastIse the aged justice
in the dining hall or depot eating house at
Lathrop, Cal, railway junction.
Judge Terry. who had been her attor-
uey in the suit against Sharon. and who
afterward married her interfered, and
when 1t seemed that he was attempting to
do violence to Justice Fields person. Dav-
id Nagle. a United States deputy mar
shal, drew revolver and shot and killed
Judge Terry. Nagle was acquitted.
There was, however, for many years,
intense bitterness between the friends of
the two factions and for this reason jus
tice Fields family discouraged his discus
sion OF California topics, or the perusal OF
California papers. He retired from the
Supreme Court bench Dec. /, 1897, and
since then has been living quietly In this
city.

Manila, April 9.-The expedition of 1900

which started last night with the inten-
ton of crossing Laguna de Bay, captur-
ing the town of Santa Cruz, on the east
ern shore of the lake and then sweeping

Hostile Reception.

Gently developed in the province of Kason,
in Southeastern Russia, territory inhab-
tied principally by Tartars, is likely to re-
suit in general uprising. Famine and
typhus that have long been devastating the
Volga territory, created such terrible havoc
in that province that the government was
compelled to send aid, food and Red Cross
sanitary agents.
unfortunately rumors were circulated
with the assistance of fanatical priests
that the government really wanted to con-
vert the Mohammedans A genuine relig-
ious panic ensued and the government
agents everywhere met with a hostile re-
oeption, being stoned and otherwise mall
treated, so that 1t became impossible to
distribute the aid sent. The government is
now endeavoring to reassure the misguid-
ed Tartars."

A SAILOR HAS NO POLITICS.
DEWEY PRACTICALLY ASSERTS HE
COULD NOT GO INTO II.

An Interview With the Great Ad-
miraI on the Political Situation.
lie Is From Vermont and His Flag
Lieutenant Is From GeOrgia-TO
Be n Democrat in Vermont Is to Be
Nobody, and So 1t Is With a Repub-
Iican in the South.
New York, April 9.-Admiral Dewey has
given to the Manila correspondent of Les
lies Weekly, an interview regarding the
suggestion that the admiral be made a
candidate for the Presidency next year
The admiral said, as to his politics:
Il am sailor. A sailor has no politics
The administration is his party, and, Re
publican or Democrat, il makes no differ
ence.
Then, again, come from Vermont and
YOU know what that means. To be any
thing but Republican in Vermont is to
be a man without party.
My flag lieutenant comes from Georgia.
He tells me that to be anything but a
Democrat in the South is to be a nobody. If
lived South I would probably be Dem
oerat."
Have you ever voted?" the correspond
ent asked.
Yes, years ago. but my vote was usually
influenced by personal preference or local
conditions l am not a politician, have
never held political office, and am totally
ignorant of party intricacies and aftilia-
tons"
Admiral Dewey said that neither by vo-
Gallon, disposition, education or training
was he capacitated to fiji the Presidency.
lie said that he was too well along in life
10 consider such a possibility. His health
would not admit it. All his rfe's work was
in different lines of effort, and that. while
the kindness and enthusiasm of his friends
were grateful to him, and the generous
tributes of the American people were dear
10 him he could not, and would not be a
candidate for the Presidency of the United
States under any conditions.
