Havana, March 5.-The Cuban as
sembly has requested the newspaper
men of Havana upon their honor as
Journalists and good patriotic Cubans, y
not to publish anything that they may
learn regarding the assembly's secret
sessions, thinking that public knowl-
edge of what is doing may be
used against the assembly in
it's dealings with the United
States This is claimed to show that
no individual member of the assembly
trusts another. Last night there was
much mysterious cafe whispering. It
seems that a considerable portion Of
the time during the sessions of the as
semb1y was spent in insulting Amer
leans and Gen, Gomez, and in personal
collisions between the members. They
also, it is added, accuse each other Of
accepting brides from the United
States which accusations were followed
by threats of dueIs. In addition to
this the Cuban assemblymen consider
the planting Of Gen. Fitz Hugh Lees
flagstaff four metres deep in the
ground a sure sign of the continuance
of American occupation of the island.
These reports, arising from prolonged
and boisterous secret sessions, have
made the doings of the Cuban assem-
bly, the joke of Havana.

President and Secretaries Long and
Alger Cable Congratulations to
Honored Men-Dewey's Promotion

Not Existed for Years.

Washington, March 4.-The presi-
dent yesterday sent to the senate the
nominations of Rear Admiral George
Dewey to be admiral of the navy, I'M
der the act approved March 2, 1899,
and Brig.-Gen. ElWell S. Otis, u. S. A.,
to be major general by brevet to rank
from Feb. 4, 1899, for military Skin
and most distinguished services in the
Philippine islands. The senate imme-
diately confirmed the nominations.
Secretary Long cabled Admiral
Dewey as follows: "Heartiest cOngrat-
ulations upon your deserved promotion
as admiral The president adds his
congratulations on your confrma-
ton"
Secretary Alger sent the following to
Otis: "You have been nominated and

grades to the rear admirals, but he

highest ranking officers of the army.
His salary is increased to $4,000.
He will at once procure new uni
form, resorting probably in his case to
the facilities on board the Olympia Of
adjusting the decorations and insignia
Of his old uniform to the new rank and
title. It is doubtful if Dewey will be
able to display the flag which goes
with his grade, for it is hardly possible
the lockers of the Olympia contain the
emblem, Of which there has been no
need of making use for SO many years.
There is general rejoicing through
out the navy in regard to Dewey's pro-
motion. 1t has taken a practical turn,
in that the service approves the pros

scribes the youth of each. Ethan has
inherited a great fortune from his
grandfather, while Val, his first cousin,
is almost in poverty. Matters are al
such a stage when Ethan, after years
| of European life, comes back to Mrs
Gano and Val. 1t is the first time Val
| has seen him. She has heard mucn
about him, has written to him, and has
| dreamed of seeing him. She falls in
! love with him at first sight, and he re
| turns her love. Outlined briefly, the
points of the tragedy that follow are
these: They have decided to marry,
when Ethan has a long conversation
with Walls father, who knows nothing
of his daughters love for Ethan. Val
overhears this conversation, in which
John Gano points out the curse that IN
termarrying has brought upon the
Gano family, the fact that consumption
is hereditary on both sides Of the
house, and expresses the opinion that
it wouI0 be criminal for Gano to per
petuate the race. In spite OF all that,
Val and Ethan make their compact TO
marry, and determine to have one year
of perfect happiness; and they decide
if a new life announces it's coming to
commit suicide together. They enjoy
their year of perfect happiness, and
then, as child is about to be born,
they fulfill their compact. In a little
sail-boat they sail away into the sunset
out through the golden gate, and there
the story ends. There are in reality
two open questions in the volume:
One is, whether it is right for physical
1y unfit men and women to perpetuate
their race, and the other whether suf-
fering men and women are justified N
opening for themselves the gates of
death. The book is suggestive merely.
It simply states the questions and
makes no attempt to answer them.
The tragedy is made more powerful by
the fact that Val and Ethan combine in
themselves the very higest intellectual
powers and are both in the best OF
physical health when the compact is
carried out It is the fear of what may
come-what is almost sure to come
that makes it wrong for them to do
otherwise.

TERRIBLY BUSINESS LIKE.
British Admiral So Characterizes De
struction of Spanish Ships

London, March 9.-Vice Admiral
Philip Howard Colomb, retired, lee
tured yesterday on the lessons of the
Spanish war before the
members Of the United Service insti-
buttons. After dealing with the im-
possibility of secrecy in warfare here
after, owing to the vigilance of the
press, and necessity for protecting
cables in shallow water, he said he
thought that if Spain had showed a
real comprehension of strategy, the
United States would not have been so
successful. The sure way for the
United States would have been for her
to send a sufficient force to the coast
of Spain to balance the forces known
to have been in the Spanish ports ana
to send a squadron to the Cape Verde
islands the moment it was known that
the Spanish fotilla was assembling
there. If the island of Minorca had
been seized as a base, nothing often
sive on the other side Of the Atlantic
would have been attempted by Spain.
The lesson to be deducted was, &C.
cording to the lecturer, that the Amer
lean strategy was hazardous, insofar
as it departed from the stereotyped
rules of naval warfare. Regarding
the pure tactical questions involved,
the admiral claimed, Admiral Dewey
took full advantage of the superiority
of his guns and gunners and placed
himself in so distant a position that
neither the Spanish ships nor the
Spanish batteries were able to ade-
quately reply to his fire. The whole
thing, continued the lecturer, was
terribly business-like on the American
side, with a parade of Quixotic gal
lantry on the other.

FRIENDS OF THE SPARROW.

Milwaukee, March 5.-The Audubon
society met at the residence of DR.. and
Mrs. William Mackie. The bill pend
ing before the legislature providing for
the payment of bounty on sparrows
and sparrow eggs, was the subject Of
discussion. While the society agrees
that the English sparrow is trouble
some bird, it deems the measure i'm
practicable and thinks that it would
encourage the attitude toward all
birds the the Audubonites protect.

pect of keeping Dewey on the actlVe
list, a privilege accorded the admiral
by the law which creates his office.
On his return from the Asiatic station
he will probably be assigned to duty
as advisor to the secretary OF the navy
perhaps taking one more command,
should his health permit. He is stlll
in a vigorous condition.
The intimate friends of Dewey say
his letters give no indication OF his re-
turn to this country. They show ne
really breads the reception which ne
is told awaits him.
The naval personnel bill, as adopted
by both houses, makes both Admlrals
Sampson and Schley rear admirals.
Under this measure ten commodores
at once become rear admirals. AS re-
organized, the navy will consist OF one
admiral, 10 rear admirals, 70 captains,
112 commanders, ITO lieutenant COM
manders, 300 1ieutenants, and 800
Junior lieutenants and ensigns. Inc
grade of commodore is abolished ex-
cept for the purpose of promotion On
retirement.
The presidents promotion of Hobson
is said by naval officers to constitute
the greatest material promotion as
recognition of gallantry in the history
of the naval service. 1t will make
Hobson a captain at the age of 80, and
amounts to ESQ numbers in the hne OF
the navy. Hobson gains about 70
years in the ordinary course OF pro-
motion.
