rhe Number of wounded Among the
Enemy Estimated at Five-Artillery
Drove Them From Their Positions.

MANILA, June 6.-Two battalions Of
the Washington troops under Co,onel
Whalley on board cascoes, were towed
from Pasig to Morong and landed under
cover of a ell-directed fire from the
"tincl lad" army gunboats Napidan and
Covadonga.
The rebels, who were entrenched in
the outskirts Of the town. reserved their
fire until the troops were ashore and in
the open. The American artillery
bpened fire on the insurgents and drove
them from their positions, killing nine
of them and wounding five. The Wash
ington troops then took the town, the
rebels fleeing TO the hills.
While the Americans were on their
way to Morong the insurgents opened

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Captain Joseph
Henry Grimes has made a confession of
the part he took IN aiding the Filipinos,
and the document is in the possession
of the government. He is a British
subject born in Hongkong 30 years ago.
He was office manager at Shanghai for
l.. SeitZel 81 Co. and there became ac-
qunnted with the agents of the Fill
pino rebelllen. On June Crimes firm
contracted with Aguinaldo to supply
5000 MauScr rifles, 2 Maxim guns, 1,
600, 900 cartridges, the steamer Pasig
and provisions, ETC., at a cost of $685.
900. The outfit was seized by the Brit.
ish authorities at the request of the
Spanish consul
Then, says Grimes, B. F. Sylvester, a
member of the firm arranged with Ed
ward Bedlo, American consul at Can
ton, to send the arms to that point by
means of false sale to the Chinse gov
ernment. The Chinese viceroy was to
reject the arms, but as it turned out he
seized 1900 and kept them to suppress a
rebellion i'll his own territory.
The local authorities refusing permis.
sion for the Pasig to sail she was trans
ferred from British to American regis
ter by Consul Bedloe, her name changed
to the Abbey, and Bedloe cleared her
and the supplies for Singapore. On
Aug. ~ the Abbey, dying the American
flag and commanded by Captain q. w.
Ellis, an American citizen, left Whampo,
about 10 miles from Canton. On board
was Lewis Leonard Etezel, the Ameri-
can citizen whose mission it was to
teach the Filipinos how to use the
Maxim guns. Sylvester, Grimes as
serts, falsely told him that the facts
about the expedition were known to
Admiral Dewey and Consul General
Wildman.
The cargo was taken to Santangas, 80
miles south OF Manila, and turned over
to the insurgent governor of that town,
1t consisted of 496 rifles, 500,0 900 cart
ridges, 4wo Maxim guns and 1900
rounds of Maxim ammunition.
"It will be seen by the above state
ment," Grimes says, "that both Sylves.
tee and Etezei plotted on American soil
against the American government.
The Abbey was seized about Sept. 20
by the American revenue cutter Nc
Cullough Of Admiral Dewep's fleet.
Grimes was arres4ed at Manila Nov. 8.

DEWEY STARTS TODAY.
Olympia Sails From HoEgkong This
Afternoon-Admirars Health Re-
ported Improved.

HoNGHoNG, June 6.-Admiral Dewey
left the Peak hotel and returned to the
Olympia. She will sail about o'clock
this afternoon. He paid farewell calls
to the governor, General Gascoigne and
the commanders of the warships in the
harbor.
Admiral Dewey's health has been
considerably benefited by his residence
at the Peak. He refused Ill social in
vitations and has taken a perfect rest.
He appeared somewhat haggard from
the effects of the continual strain he
has been under and the climate.
1t was hoped that the quiet change
and the voyage will quite restore him
to health by the time he reached New
York. The details of the ports at
which he will call are still undecided,
but it is probable that stops will be
made at Singapore and Colombo. The
admiral seems anxious to avoid all dis
play and merely seek rest. His officers
and crew are elated at the prospect of
returning home.
