The funeral Of the late Capt. Roswell
Alexander Fish was held this afternoon al
O'Clock from Westminster Presbyterian
Church, Rev. B. F. Bittinger, moderator of
the Washington presbytery, officiating. The
services were attended by quite a large
number of persons, most of whom were
personal friends of the deceased, and who
had been associated with him in times of
war and peace.
| most impressively and, upon the conclusion
of the stated ritual made a few remarks
in which he paid high compliment to the
character and true worth of Capt. Fish. He
had long been prominent in the affairs of
the Presbyterian Church of this city and
was at time trustee of the 9Th street
edifce. DR.. Bittnger spoke of Capt. Fish's
career in the civil war, saying no man
fought more nobly for the preservation of
the Union than did he.

PAYING CUBAN SOLDIERS.
Caused by Reported
Offer of One Fares.

The War Department officials today were
much amused when their attention was at
tracted to an alleged Havana dispatch from
some person signing the name of Fares,
advising the Cuban assembly to refuse Spe-
cial Commissioner Porter's offer of 49,
900, 900 for the relief of the Cuban soldiers,
as he had a better proposition to make.
They know of no such person as the
signer and certainly he has no official
status which would justify hi min making
any offer of the kind.
1t is learned that up to this moment the
government here has taken steps to-
ward the redemption of Mr.. Porters prom
Use to Gomez, possibly because it is deemed
well to await the arrival in Havana of the
old Cuban leader. in order that he may
make such explanations as he desires to
the so-called Cuban assembly for his ar
rangenent with Mr.. Porter,
There is good reason to believe, too, that
with the lapse of time the first feeling of
irritation at the alleged insuffciency of the
sum of money is dying away. After it has
been made plain to the mass of the Cubans
probably through the skillful representa-
lions of Senior Quesada, that after all there
is nothing in the transaction proposed by
Mr.. Porter that will prevent the future
government of Cuba, whatever it may be,
from paying any sum of money it desires
to the troops, all opposition will disappear.

worthy man, and that he undoubtedly fully
understood the situation. Mr.. Norment,
continued Mr.. Wight, said that he is very
favorably disposed toward the threatened
people of the District, but felt that his first
duty was to protect the interests of the
stockholders of the company. and that he
did not care to risk injuring the boats of
the company for SO small an amount as the
Commissioners have left of the appropria-
ton of s., ot1 made by Congress for the pur-
pose. Mr.. Wight expressed regret that the
Norfolk and Washington Companys Of
fiCials had not expressed the same spirit in
the matter as had Capt. Randall stating
that the Commissioners would have been
only too glad to avail themselves of the
use of the company's boats had they been
obtainable at a reasonable amount

PHILIPPINE CAM PAlGN
American Jurisdiction to Be Extended Over
the Entire Group
Admiral Dewey to Begin a General
Occupation When More Gum
boats Reach Him.

The administration has determined to
rapidly extend the jurisdiction of the United
States over the whole Of the Philippine
group, acting on the theory that delay in
this case is dangerous, and that anarchy
and a general paralysis of such interests as
the islands support will be brought about
through a failure to promptly replace the
Spanish sovereignty over the islands by
that of the United States This decision in
wolves the necessity of a naval campaign,
and this will be Instituted soon as Adj
miral Dewey receives the reinforcements, in
the shape of gunboats, now on the way to
Manila.
be a necessity for any formidable demon
STATIONS but the very fact that the United
States government is able to exhibit suf-
ficient force to accomplish the purpose of
occupation is expected to deter the natives
from profitless resistance.
Owing to the vast number of the Phliu-
pine Islands, a large number of gunboats
would be required to visit them simulta-
neouSly, so the program Will be to have
the vessels visit in order the principal
towns outside of Manila, especially those
where Spanish garrisons We're maintained
on the islands of Cebu and at Zamboango.
on the Island of Mindanao, and some of the
cities on Negros.
The naval vessels will probably be ac-
companied by some troop transports and
the soldiers will be landed where necessary
to hoist the United States flag and take
possession formally of the ports. 1t is I'M
derstood that there will be no attempt
at this time to displace any of the existing
municipal governments, except where they
prove refractory and offer resistance, and,
lowed at all points in the treatment of the
natives.
