DEWEY IS
WELCOMED
At COLOMBO
Received by Representative
Englishmen and Present
ed With a Casket.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

COLOMBO, Ceylon, June 22.-The
United States cruiser Olympia. with
Admiral Dewey on board, arrived here
at 6 o'clock this morning from Singo
pore, saluted the forts ashore and was
saluted by the latter in return.
An aid-de-camp, representing the
Governor of Ceylon, Hon. Sir Joseph
Westridgeway, boarded the Olympia at
o'clock this morning in order to well
come Admiral Dewey, and Colonel Saw
age, commanding the troops, made a
visit at 10 o'clock. The visits We're re-
turned at II o'clock. He was met at
the jetties by a guard of honor and
amid cheering drove in the Governors s
carriage to breakfast with Colonel Saw
age. The admiral afterWard booked
rooms at the Galloface Hotel. and re-
turned on board the Olympia at l
o'clock. There he received a deputa-
ton representing the Planters Asso-
citation and the Chamber of Commerce
and was presented with a silver casket
and an address as a memento of his
visit.
The presentation of the casket to
Admiral Dewey was made on board of
the Olympia instead of in the Council
chamber, because his doctor had for
hidden him to participate in any func-
ton. The delegates also presented a
thousand pounds of tea to the crew of
the Olympia. The Admiral, replying to
the address of welcome. said he wished
he could reply in adequate terms, re-
ciprocating the sentiments expressed.
But he added, he spoke from his heart
when he said he deeply appreciated the
welcome.
Admiral Dewey added that he would
have the very acceptable present of tea
distributed as desired, incidentally
mentioning that he was lifelong tea
drinker himself, and assuring the COM
mittee that the address would be read
at muster" and afterwards framed
and preserved. The casket, he re-
marked, he would always keep on his
table, and he told the delegates that he
would report the matter to his Govern
ment and describe the cordiality of his
reception. Continuing, Admiral Dewey
remarked:
That cheer raised on the jetty when
| landed went to the hearts of all of
US. We are 14,OOo miles from home,
but that cheer will be heard in Amer
lea, although the way in which it has
touched me l shall never be able to fully
express. The two nations were never
so closely allied by mutual sympathy
and appreciation as now. The Ameri-
can people realized this during the late
war and you can imagine how all those
who were at Manila and met Sir Ed
ward Chichester commander of the
British first-class cruiser Immortalite)
and his gallant comrades hold that feel
ing very deeply"
A general conversation followed and
after toasting the 'Anglo-Saxon Union"
and the prosperity of the two countries
the delegation departed.
Admiral Dewey now says it is i'm
probable that he will go to Randy and
that he intends staying in Colombo.
The admiral will remain in Ceylon
about week. He says he had a good
voyage from Singapore and that his
health is fairly good.

WHY ARGUELLES WAS
PUNISHED BY FILIPINOS

MANILA, June %, 7:3O p. m.-Details
Of the sentencing of Colonel Arguelles.
Filipino commissioner, to twelve
years imprisonment. have just been
obtained here. 1t was first reported
that his condemnation by the Filipinos
was due to the friendship he displayed
toward Americans, but the information
just received shows the accusation
against him was not based on his peace
conferences at Manila, as supposed
They confirm President Schurman's be
lief in his sincerity and show that his
advocacy of autonomy among the in
surgentS was treated as treason The
charge against the colonel was that in
conversation with Filipino officers he
predicted that disorders within the in
surgent territory would lead to civil
war, and therefore, he said, he con-
sidered autonomy under the Americans
preferable to independence The Fill
pino congress tried him on the charge
of treason and a heated debate over
autonomy followed. Finally the colonel
was sentenced to death, but this was
cOmmuted to twelve years imprison-
ment on account of his previous SER
vices to the cause, after an eloquent
plea on the part Of his counsel.
Colonel Arguelles is one of the most
conservative and respected men identi-
fed with the insurrectiOn. The rebels
have learned that the American volun-
teers are returning to the United States.
and the Filipino newspapers show that
they cOnstrue this to mean that the
Americans are abandoning the war,
and are encouraged thereby.
The outpOsts of the Washington
Regiment yesterday captured General
Pho del Pillars brass band of eighty
two pieces, the members of which
somehow became separated from the
rebel army and came near the Ameri-
can lines without having the means of
resistance. Some Cinnamon of Manila
have filed a claim against the instru-
ments, which, it appears, were leased
by the musicians Of General Pho del
Pillar.
Four Of the wounded Of the Fourth
Infantry in the recent fight with the
rebels have died in hospitals.

YOUNG TURKS NOW
WORRY THE SULTAN

LONDON, June 23.-The correspondent
of the Daily News at The Hague de-
scribes the "great effort the Sultan is
making to induce the Dutch Government
to suppress the meetings of the Young
Turkish party" He says: "a meeting
was announced and it was given out that
the speakers were to be Achmed Ria Bey
Ammeghian, an Armenian, and Bewa-
kowski, an Austrian Pole. The Govern
ment summoned the speakers to prove
their possession of financial resources,
the absence of which would be the only
ground upon which their expulsion could
be decreed.
This shabby trick failed and the meet
ing was held; but it had an extraordinary
result. Turkhan Pasha. the first dele
gate of Turkey, sent his secretary, Rechid
Bey to challenge the young Turkish
leader to a duel Rizar replied that they
were both guests of country where
dueling was unlawful and that he would
not help the first Turkish delegate to
commit a crime. OF course. the Sultan is
behind this, and his Chief of Police is
coming. here to look after the young
Turks"
The German delegates are still without
instructions on the arbitration question.

ONE AMERICAN
DEMAND OPPOSED
Protection Of Private

Peace Conference in Favor of Prohib-

Bullets and Explosives
From Balloons.
CONSIDER THE USE
OF EXPLOSIVES.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

THE HAGUE, June 22.-The American
demand for the protection of private
property at sea has not yet been present
ed to the Peace Conference. Andrew D.
White, head of the American delega ton,
on Tuesday requested the president of the
conference. NJ de Staal, to submit the
question to the conference, at the same
time suggesting that the proper way to
bring the matter up for discussion would
be to assemble a plenary conference, sub
nit the question and have it referred to q
commission for examination. NJ. de
Staal has not yet arrived at a decision,
as the American proposal has not been
translated into French.
1t is the general opinion that the dele
gates of the great powers are absolutely
opposed to raising the question, arguing
the Incompetence of the conference to do
SO under the terms of Count Muravieff' S
circular, NJ de Staal having declared at
the opening of the conference, with the
approval of the delegates, that under no
circumstances would the conference dis
cuss any question not contained in the
circular.
Several delegates declare there is little
chance of the question being discussed
but that if it is discussed America will
be opposed with the utmost energy by
Great Britain and all the powers.
After short sessions of the sub-cOm-
mittees of war and navy, at which re-
ports by Major General Den Der Portu-
gael of the Dutch delegation and Count
Soltyk, the Austrian naval expert, We're
respectively adopted, the first committee
met to discuss the same in the above
order. The delegates declared in favor of
any state using any explosives or new
inventions for ordnance. Russian and
Bulgaria alone refraning from voting.
The question of dumdum bullets was
discussed. Major Sir John Ardagh of the
British delegation declared that Great
Britain did not desire to use any prOlectile
inconsistent with the principles of modern
warfare and that dumdums should only
be used against an unciviized foe
The conference finally resolved in favor
of prohibiting the use of bullets which
such as explosive bullets. bullets in a
hardened case which does not entirely
cover the point or bullets without an
incision. The British and American dele
gates alone voted in the negative.
The use of any new explosive in pro-
five years. The question of restraining the
introduction of new types of rifles was
referred.
Count Soltyk's report was then taken
up. 1t declared that the subcommittee,
though unable to agree regarding the pro-
torpedo boats and the use of explosives,
had declared against the use of asphyX-
iating gases, which the first committee
also approved.
A number Of delegates are suffering
from a mild form of malaria caused by
the emanations from the canals which
receive the sewage. Mrs. Hollis. wife of
Frederick Hollis, secretary of the Ameri-
can delegation, has been obliged to go to
Dusseldorf for a change of air.

BREAK IN ONE OF
THE WEBER'S BOILERS
Disaster Aboard the River Steamer
Averted by Timely Discovery
and Prompt Action.

STOCKTON. June 22.-The steamer
Captain Weber came in this morning with
a break in one of her boilers, through
which steam was escaping 1t extended
alongside line of rivets. The danger
was not known until the steamer was
quite near port, and every precaution was
at once taken to prevent serious conse-
quences. The passengers knew nothing
of the accident, as it was not deemed
necessary to create any alarm although
the consequences might have been terrible
but for the timely discovery and prompt
action. The Union Transportation Com
pany's officers took no chances and they
at once announced the boat would not
leave port tonight. The boiler-rooms
were turned over to machinists. The steel
around the crank was cut away and new
steel parts are being riveted in. The
Weber will be out in day or two and
before she resumes her runs the company
will have the machinery thoroughly in
spected. The boilers are comparatively
new and the break must have been the
result of a flaw. The Weber is one of the
best boats in the river service, and the
delay at this busy season involves con-
siderable loss to the company.

WASHINGTON. June %. - Admiral
kautz reported his arrival at San Fran
cisco last evening by telegraph to the
Navy Department, but made no report
upon Samoan affairs. This probably will
be committed to the mails. His official
superiors are fully satisfied with his con-
duct while at Apa. The admiral retains
his assignment as commander-in-chief of
the forces on the Pacific station and the
Philadelphia will be retained in commits
sion, though necessary repairs and dock

There is a disposition in all diplomatic
quarters concerned in Samoa to accept
the action of the High Commissioners as
satisfactory, mainly because the commits
sion has been on the ground. has heard
| all evidence and is presumably best able
/ to determine the means of adjusting the

The British Foreign Office has forward
ed to Mr.. Tower, the British charge here,
a statement of the conclusions reached
by the Samoan Commission, including in
part the text of the proclamation abol-
lShlng the klngShlp and establishing the
provisional government. 1t states:
The commission published a proc!a-
NATION on June 10, reciting whereas. the
declaration of the Chief Justice declaring
Malietoa as King is considered by the
High Commission as valid and binding
Whereas. The said Malietoa has volun-
AtiS eChhticu his ItSlSild as klltS,
and the same has been duly accepteI; ;
and whereas, the High Commission has
decided to abolish the office of King in
Samoa.
Proclamation is made for the establish
ment of a provisional government during
the stay of the High Commission in Sa-
moa.
BERLIN, June 22.-An official dispatch
from Apia, Samoa, confirms the dis
patches of the Associated Press from
Apia announcing Malietoa Tanu's abdica-
| ton In favor of the Samoan Commissions
ers, who have appointed a provisional
government, composed of the three Con-
suls. An interesting point is the German
commission recognized the competence of
| the Chief Justice to select a King. An
official dispatch received at Berlin says
the Chief Justice and the municipal ar-
| thorites will exercise their former func-
tionS until further notice, and that Dr.
Solf, the German president of the muni-
cipal council of Apia, has assumed of
