and occasionally goes out for walks,
accompanied as rule by II servant.
The poor creature is enveloped in
masses Of white drapery, which make
her look like walking bundle. and in

cannot see more than foot or two OF

GRoUNDIGG OF THE HOOKER.
No Pilot Was oE i;onrG. Capt. Hanlan
HeinE at the Wheel.

Being at the Wheel.
A copy of the Manila American just re-
ceived at the War Department gives the
following account of the wreck of the ca
bic ship Hooker:
1.-THE United States transport Hooker,
popularity known as the cable ship. started
to go to Hong Kong on Friday afternoon
for repairs. but the unucity Hooker only
got as far as the reef on the southeast
side OF Corregidor Island, and there the
vessel was put in the way of requiring
additional repairs.
THE Hooker went on the reef about
$50 O'Clock on the evening of August IL.
No pilot was on board, but Capt. Hanlan,
the commander of the Hooker, took the
wheel himself. The ship struck the reef
bow on, and is stuck pretty fast. She
now lies eight or ten feet above her nor
NAL position in the wafer. but SO far as
can be ascertained the hull is not much
injured, and very little water has been
taken in. Several little tugs tried to pull
the transport off the rocks, but when their
efforts proved unavaiiirg: the Baltimore
and Concord went to the rescue, but,
though the two warships tugged and
strained ard snapped cable or two in
the attempt TO haul the Hooker into deep
water, as yet all the trials have been un-
successful 1t is thought however, that
when the Hooker is liehtened of the hun
dreds OF tons of cable which is coiled UP
IN the forepart of the vessel she can be
safely Slid back into deep water.

esting events not recorded by cable are

the beach. The Callao guards it and pre-
vents the Insurgents from carrying it away.
a fine hospital Is being erected on
Corregdor Island. 1t is intended for
hospital for canvalescents. 1t is pleasantly
situated in healthful place.
1t is stated that six new gunboats are to
be built for service in the Philippines. They
are to be constructed in the United States
and shipped in sections to Manila. These
gunboatS are to be of very light draught
and designed for river service.
Two Spaniards who escaped from the in
surgents in the south say the insurgents
are poorly armed.
The insurgents have attempted several
times to cut the railroad track leading to
the northern commands.
Three Filipinos, one man and two women
the man dressed as woman, were caught
trying to smuggle ammunition through the
lines to the insurgents near Santoan.
1t is reported from the northern lines that

the warmest handclasp and heartiest greet

the warmest handclasp and heartiest greet
ing were for the admiral's lifelong friend,
Senator Redfield Proctor of Vermont.
The admiral presented each of the visitors
to Capt Lamberton and then all went to
the admiraFs cabin, where the committee
presented the program for the Washington
celebration. and the admiral expressed his
entire satisfaction with it.
Mr. Pruden presented an invitation to a
dinner from, the President, and Admiral
Dewey accepted 1t.
Commander George W. Baird. who sailed
with Farragut and Dewey in the west gulf
squadron in 1861 unroled a package, which
he had carefully guarded all the way to the
Olympia, and displayed faded blue adml-
rails ensign, upon which were stitched four
white stars. He said to Admiral Dewey:
Admiral l wish to present to you the
first admirafs flag ever broken out In the
navy of this country. That grand old ad-
miral whose name and memory we all so
revere first hoisted this ensign upon the
good ship Hartford, before New Orleans,
and afterwards upon the Franklin; and
since it came down from that masthead it
has never been whipped by the wind or
worn by the elements.
"You the worthy successor of that great
admiral whose tactics you SO successfully
followed a short while ago, 1 deem the
proper person for Farragut's mantle to fall
upon
This flag made by Quartermaster
Knowles out of blue number flag, when
Farragut was first made a rear admiral.
Two white stars were sewed on it. When
Farragut was made an admiral two more
white stars were sewed on It, Farragut
flew this flag on the Hartford at New Or
leans anu afterward in the Mediterranean"
Admiral Dewey was deeply affected and
tears were in his eyes as he gaze at the
souvenir. 1t was several moments before he
could find his voice. Finally he said: I'll
fly it'll fly it at the masthead-TH fly
1t in the parade-1n fly 1t alwayS-and-
and when 1 strike my admiral's flag this
will be the flag l shall strike"
This was the most impressive that has
occurred on the Olympia since her arrival
in this port, and for some time one
spoke. The silence was broken by Dewey.

A Surplus of Revenue Over Expendi-
lures in the Treasury

A Surplus of Revenue Over Expendi-
lures in the Treasury
The revenues of the government are in a
fourishing condition." said an official of
the Treasury Department to a Star reporter
today. hus far in September, that is I'D to
yesterdays statement, We have an excess
OF receipts over expenditures amounting to
S1.216,690.65, and for the fiscal year ending
yesterday, an excess of receipts over ex-
penditures of 1916, 1885. This statement
" Noud show even better if the treasury had
not anticipated interest payments to the
amount thus far of s.. $40 900 But for that
our excess of receipts for the month up to
yesterday would have been nearly 10000
900.
Il think the present rate will continue
and that the end of the month will show
comfortable surplus. The receipts from GUS
toms this month have been ST., ,3S7 Al: for
the period last year they were ST.
3il. $3.50; for this fiscal year they have been
$at,9oo,59S compared with $45G2n, 10 last
year. This shows that the Dingley tariff
act is working advantageously.
The receipts from Internal revenue this
month have been $21 61S,074 against S13.-
241,G14 for the same period last year The
law Is now working more smoothly. and a.
the agents of the government are becoming
more familiar with Its operations. they are
gathering in revenue from sources which
old not produce earlier in the game
1.-The prosperous state of the country is
reflected In this favorable government
statement 1t shows that business is good
in all channels of trade coming in contact
with the government and that there Is an
increase in the volume of business COM
pared with last year. I look to see a con-
tinuatien of these favorable circumstances
through next month as we'll.

DIPLOMATS IN UNCERTAINTY
FIans for Chicago Trip Depends O,
the President's Movements.

The diplomatic corps here is in state
OF doubt respecting the Chicago celebra-
ton. Inquiries are being made at the State
Department as to the Presidents inten-
tions in the matter. and it appears to be
the general resolve Of the foreign repre-
sentatives to be guided in their plans by
the action of the Chief Executive. Should
he decide to abandon the projected trip
then there will be no representatives of
the corps in attendance, or at least on.y
the smallest.
Senior AspiroZ, the Mexican ambassador
mas conveyed to our government the as
surance that President DiaZ has abandona ed
the visit to Chicago solely from considera-
ton for the health of his wife.
The diplomats are also agitated as Dewey
day approaches in New York and there is
no sign manifested of desire for their at
tendance. 1t is said that since the failure
of the attempt of the local committee 20
secure the attendance at the naval demon
stration of foreign warships the diplomatic
representatives. who were obliged by the
rigid rules of International intercourse 10
decline the invitations for their govern
ments, have been dropped out of sight.
