forth number of small snakes with
heads shaped like those of a fish. but
the bodies and tails resembling those Of

the snakes were not all removed. A
consultation was held by local phvsi-
clans and it was decided to perform an
operation on the lady, which resulted
in taking away from the intestines nine
snakes, the longest of which is two feet

seven inches, and about half the size of

HOW He WAS CHOSEN
Secretary Long Says BE Selected
Dewey for Asiatic Station.
Was Satisfied He Was the Right Man
In the Right Place, and the Bril-
liant Victory Proves He
Was Correct.

The story of Dewey's selection for
the command of the Asiatic station was
told the other day by Secretary Long,
in response to questions as to the part
played in it by Senator Proctor, of Yer
mont, and others whose names have
been mentioned in connection with the
matter.
ut was this way" said Mr.. Long;
"there were vacancies in two flag COM
mands, the Asiatic station and the Eu-
ropean station, and after making some
Inquiries about the ability of officers
available, it became a question whether
Dewey or Howell should go to the
Asiatic station. Dewey was finally Sc
lected for the command, and Howell
was assigned to Europe.
''The selection of Dewey was not
made, however, until made inquiries
about him and satisfied myself that he
was the right man. The matter was
one of ordinary departmental routine,
a command was vacant, and a flag Of
ficer was needed to fill it. l made the
selection myself. The question was not
referred to anybody outside the de-
partment. tits true did receive letter
from Senator Proctor telling me what a
good man for the place Dewey was, just
as l received letter from Senator
Chandler, recommending Howell for
flag command, but Senator Proctor's
letter came after 1 had made my choice.
That is all there is to the matter"
fa r., A.
bility of war with Spain had anything
to do with the decision to send Dewey
to command the squadron, which
would, in that event, operate agains:
the Philippines, and he said that con-
sideration had doubtless beer taken
into account.
