DEWEY WON'T WAIT.
Barker Will Command Until Watson
Arrives.

Washington, May 13.-Admiral Wat
son will sail from San Francisco next
Tuesday as a passenger on one of the
regular Pacific Mail steamships, but
can not possibly reach Manila before the
middle of June. Orders have been is

miral Dewey's departure until relieved
by Rear Admiral Watson.
Capt. Barker is now in command of

Peru, and thence by way of Honolulu
to Manila, where she arrived several
weeks ago. As soon as relieved of COM
mand of the Asiatic squadron by Rear
Admiral Watson, about the. middle of
June, Capt. Barker will start for home

CUT OPEN FOUR TIMES.
Man Dies Because Surgeons Gould
Not Find a Nail In Him.

New York, May 13-Because surgeons
could not find nail he had swallowed,
Frank A. Bolin, carpenter died in the
New York hospital early this morning.
Bolin was working on building in
East Thirty-second street last March
when the accident occurred. Like all
carpenters, he was in the habit of hold
ing nails in his mouth while working.
He had mouthful that day and was
driving one nail when something dis
tracted him. He turned suddenly,
coughed, and in some way swallowed
one OF the nails. He vainly endeavored
to work it from his throat, and others
who were about aided him. When their
efforts proved vain he was advised to
swallow the nail and endeavored to do
all trouble, and for three days did not
feel any ill effects. Then the nail be-
gan to bother him.
He waited several days longer with
out seeing a physician, and then went
to DR.. Robert F. Weir, No. 33 West
Thirty-seventh street. The physician
determined from the pains Bolin felt in
his chest, that the nail had not reach
ed the stomach, and, with others, inn
med1ate1y performed an operation in
the hope of finding it.
This proved unsuccessful and Bolin
was treated until he recovered suffi-
clently for another operation. This also
proved vain, and finally DR.. Weir ad-
vised him to go to the New York hos
pital and see if the surgeons there could
find the nail
He did so, and as soon as possible a
third operation was performed Again
the nail eluded the physicians and they
could do nothing to dislodge it. The
day, and the surgeons cut deeper than
they had before. They could not find
the obstruction. and BoIin sank rapidly
until death relieved him.

NEW FRENCH PLAY.
The Foreign Legion a Great Success
French Plagiarist Caught.

Paris, May 13.-A new play, 'The
Foreign Legion" was produced last
night at the Ambigu theater, and it
has been pronounced a great success.
The sensational part of it has relation
to the Dreyfus affair, and in it Jean La
Rode and Halevy have daringly por-
trayed many of the features of the case.
The leading character is the victim of
a judicial error analogous to the great
''affaire." The scenes of the meIodrama
are laid in part in Madagascar. 1t is
without doubt the best thing since the
"Deux GOsses,'' which had a marvellous
run here.
The Eclair has just won its suit for re-
covery of moneys paid against Oscar
Metenier,, who passed "'Pulcinella' off
on it as an original romance, and which
the management bought at a high
price and published as it's feuilleton.
After the story was well begun the ed
itor was informed that the story was
written long ago by oscar Honore and
published in Patrie about 1858. The
files of the other paper were searched
and the story found, where it was pub
lished under the title of "A Poor Girls

Decline In the Price of Stocks
This Week
Bears No Relation to the Trade

VOLUME OF BUSINESS
Still Shows a Large Increase
Over Year 1899
Which is the One Used in
Prosperity Comparisons.

New York, May 13.-R. G. Dun &

To speak truly of business this week

and the volume of business shown by
payments through the principal clear

an 1892, the year of greatest prosperity
hitherto, which is more than double the

" "A MESSAGE 70 GARC|A"
THE MAN WHO CARRIED IT Is on
TARTAR.
Captain Andrew S. Rowan of the 10Th
Infantry is the Mana World Fam
Gus Exploit.

The man who carried the message to
Garcia" is aboard the Tartar.
Captain Andrew S. Rowan of the
Nineteenth Infantry, won world wide
fame at the outbreak of hostilities be-
tween the United States and Spain by
carrying message from President
Mckinley to General Garcia. When
war broke out it became necessary to
communicate with the commander of
the Cuban insurgents and seek his CO.
operation. Garcia was somewhere in
the wilds of Cuba with his army, be-
yond the reach of mail or telegraph,
and the only way to reach him was
through a special messenger. Accord
ing to the story, as it has been fire.
quently told, some one said to the Pre-
sident: There's a fellow by the name
of Rowan who will find Garcia for you,
If anybody can SO Rowan was sent
for and given the commission.
The story of how he took the letter
without asking for a word of instruc-
tions, sealed it up in an oil skin pouch,
strapped it over his heart, landing by
night on the shore of Cuba from an open
boat disappearing into the jungle and
in three weeks coming out on the other
side of the island after traversing a
hostile country on foot, and after de-
liVering the important communication
to the insurgent leader. has been mar
rated many times, but never more
prettily than in a little booklet entitled
"A Message to Garcia" which has had
circulation of hundreds of thousands
He arranged with General Garcia for
the cooperation of the Cuban forces
with the American army of invasion,
and having accomplished this under
taking had to perform the equally per-
ilous task of returning to the American
lines with his Cuban maps and dis
patches. He accomplished the feat in
an open sailbOat that reached Nassau
n. p, at the very time Admiral Samp-
sons fleet was steaming eastward to
meet the Spanish fleet destined for San
tiago.
Captain Rowan says there is only one
point in connection with his trip to
Garcia's headquarters that has not been
mentioned in the papers, although sub
sequently brought out in General Miles
report. The report of General Miles
shows that 10000 Spaniards were kept
away from Santiago as a result of Cap
tain ROwan's conference with Garcia
Garcia with his Cuban troops inter-
cepted 10000 Spaniards al Holgiun and
5000 at Guantanamo.
Captain Rowan perfected himself in
the Spanish language and put himself
in line for the Garcia mission while in
charge of the Intercolonial railway sur
Veying corps in Central America in 1891
and 1892. He was born in Virginia in
1860 and was graduated from West
Point in 1881 He is going to the Phil
ippines, he says, to fight and expects a
long siege with the insurgents.
