ABANDON THE BIG BASS DRUM
NEW RULE ADOPTED BY VoLUN-
TIERS OF AMERICA.
They Will Hereafter Make Noise
With Cornet, Small Organ, Con-
certina or Guitar

New York, Oct. 6-At the opening
session of the grand field council of the
Volunteers of America, convened at
Blue Point, Long Island, and composed
of the officers of highest rank from all
parts of the country, presided over by
General Ballington Booth, the follow
ing resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved. That in view of the con-
flict with the civil authorities on the
part of other organizations, and in view
of our strong desire to respect and up
hold the municipal laws, we authorize
that the use Of the drum be abandoned
both outdoors and in, in connection
with the whole movement. except with
a brass band, fife and drum corps, or
at the head Of a parade officially au-
thorized by the sectional officer.
1T is recommended. however, that in
place of the drum a cOrnet, small or
gan, concertina, guitar or other
stringed instrument be used"

DEWEY A NOBLE MAN.
Spanish Minister Gives His Opinion
of the Recent Demonstrations.

Boston. oct. 6.-The Spanish minis
ter, Duke D'Arcos. who has just left
his house at Manchester. said with re-
gard to the reception being given Ad-
miral Dewey:
1T does not surprise me in the least.
Admiral Dewey is a brave and noble
man, and for he extraordinary service
he has rendered his country no honor
that can be shown him in return is too
great. He has aroused the admiration
Of the whole world by the gallantry of
his conduct. and he would be a small
man. indeed, who could not recognize
his merit and give free expression to mis-
admiration for Dewey's valor"
The minister was emphatic in eX-
pressing the opinion that the very best
OF feeling existed between the United
States and Spain.
There are absolutely no differences
between the countries on any point" he
said Certainly it is the hope of all
true Spaniards that this condition
should exist, and as for myself, as the
official representative OF the queen re-
gent. it is the ambition of my life TO
bring about the very utmost of good
feeling and good will"

RUSH THE WARSHIPS.
United States viii Soon Have Big
Naval Fleet at Manila.

united states Will Soon Have Big
Naval Fleet at Manila.
New York, Oct. "a special to the
Herald from Washington says: The
vessels which have thus far received
orders for Manila are: The armored
cruiser Brooklyn, en- route to Hampton
Roads, proceeds to New York for re-
pairs and fitting out and changes in
personnel; protected cruiser New Or
leans, en- route to Hampton Roads, pro-
ceeds to New York for repairs and
changes in personnel; gunboat Nash
vile, now at Santo Domingo, proceeds
to Manila without delay, via Suez canal,
and stopping at San Juan for coal and
needed repairs; auxiliary cruiser
Badger, now at Mare Island, prepares
for orders to proceed to Manila.
The other vessels which will be sent
to Manila are the protected cruiser
Albany and the gunboats Marietta,
Machias and Bancroft. Of these the
Albany is now being completed in Eng
land. Her officers and crew will be sent
to her about Jan. !, and she will pro-
coed at once to Manila The Marietta
is now at Washington under orders to
proceed to the mouth of the Orinoco.
She will probably carry out the orders,
returning when relieved to prepare to
The Bancroft is at Boston. and prac-
tically ready for service. The Machias
is now at Washington, and after needed
repairs she can leave with little delay.
With the exception of the Albany and
Marietta, all these vessels can leave for
Manila within a month.
The admiral has impressed upon the
authorities the need of haste and they
are proceeding accordingly. The depart
ment may later decide to send addi-
tional vessels of the auxiliary gunboat
class. The admiral has pointed out the
desirability Of large vessels, saying
there is dangeT. of the small gunboats
being captured.
There is no change in the admins
tration's purpose not to issue a formal
blockade proclamation, although it is
appreciated that the maintenance of a
municipal blockade may involve the
government in controversies with for
eign nations whose ships may be held
up outside the three-mile limit, and
that such nations may go so far as to
press claims for damages Admiral
Watson will, however, issue orders
which, if obeyed, will avoid all cause
for trouble.
When the eight vessels named reach
Admiral Watson he Will have under
his command one battleship, two mOni-
tors, one armored cruiser, seven pro-
tected and auxiliary cruisers and TWEEN
ty-seven gunboats, including the YES
sells bought from Spain by General Otis.
The United States will then be superior
in naval strength in the Pacific to Rus
STA, which stands next to Great Britain.

The opal is one Of the most beautiful
Of gem stones, but it has long been
regarded as most unfortunate to the
wearer. The popular superstition has
waned very materially in the last ten
years. and of late it has acquired con-
siderable popularity. Opals have been
quite plentiful in the Rocky noun
tails of this country and Mexico, but it
is reported that the mines are now
almost exhausted. no gems of much
value being extracted from them,
though at one time large sums were
made out of these mines. Opals occur
in veins in the same manner as silver
and gold. Those coming from below
the level of water in a mine are not
considered desirable. They may lose
their color or crack after being exposed
to the sunlight, so as soon as a mine
reaches water level it is abandoned.

Washington, oct. 6.-Admiral Dewey
has elected to accept a house in Wash
lngton already constructed. instead of
having one built for his occupation In
accordance with the invitation of the
committee which has had in charge
the Dewey home work. he called at the
Office Of Acting Secretary Allen, in the
navy department, at 10 O'Clock today
10 indicate his prefe; ences in the mat
Ter OF a residence There were present
besides Mr. Allen, Assistant Secretary
anderlip. Mr.. Heath and Adjutant
General COrbin.
The admiral was officially informed
OF the purpose of the people of the
United States to present him with a
nome in Washington. He frankly eX
pressed his qualification at the tender,
which he Immediately accepted. He
said had the proposed home been the
gift of a few wealthy men he should
have felt indisDOsed to accept it. But
he noted that the fund had over 5000
subscribers, indicating that the home
was to be really the gift of the Ameri-
can people. and as such he would ac-
cept 1t with as much pleasure as he
had the sword bestowed upon him by
congress.
The Location Desired.
He then said he wished the house to
be located in the northwest section of
the city, somewhere west Of Sixteenth
street, and not too far north thus indi-
eating the neighborhood of his former
residence and the club where he had
spent a good deal of his leisure time.
First Of all. he wanted the house at
the earliest possible moment, 50 that
he might "go in and hang UP his hat at
once" as he put it. OF course, that
piecluded the idea of erecting a house
TO meet his special needs. He expressed
his ideas as to the character Of the
HON he desired. and asked that the
house be modest enough in appoint
ments and cost to permit of the re-
tention of a sufficient sum of money
from the purchase fund to defray the
expense Of furnishing it. The commit
tee listened attentively to all these
wishes and saw no reason why all
could not be granted.

An Old Church In Maine.

The appointment of new pastor to
st. Patrick's parish in Lincoln coun-
ty, Maine recalls an interesting bit of
history. The parish church is the old
est in the state, and, with one excep-
ton, the Oldest in all New England. 1t
was erected and dedicated in 1S07-S by
Father Cheverus, afterwards first
Bishop of Boston and later Cardinal
Archbishop of Bordeaux. 1t is built of
brick and is in excellent condition af-
ter nearly a century of use. The
church lot which contains three acres
of land, was the gift of James Kava-
naugh, one of the pioneer Catholics of
the section. Two-thirds of the cost of
the building was betrayed by the afore-
said James Kavanaugh. and Matthew
Cotrell.

killed him. He was torn to pieces and
placed over a fire with two sheep. In
