Continued Round of Receptions, Etc.,
Too Much for Dewey.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-The functions
and the receptions that have figured so
prominently in the daily life of Admiral
Dewey since his arrival off Sandy Hook
last Tuesday morning have proven al
most too much for his strength. The
admiral has been under such q perpet-
ual physical and nervous strain that he
is almost exhausted. Saturdays cere-
monies We're the most taxing on his
strength Of any that he has yet had to
undergo and he appeared Sunday look
ing pale and worn, despite the fact that
he retired early Saturday evening and
enjoyed good nights rest. When
the admiral had finished his breakfast
he sent for his private physician, Dr..
Percy, who was closeted with him for
few minutes. Admiral Dewey later
called on the members Of his family
and relatives and chatted with them for
some time.
At 10 a. m. he was called on by the
Chicago invitation committee, headed
by Mayor Harrison, and asked to attend
the cornerstone laying on Oct. 9. In
reply the admiral said that he was badly
in need of rest and. therefore, would be
compelled to decline the invitation, but
hoped to visit the Western metropolis
at some future time.

A Filming Adventure.

One afternoon. while fishing for tarpon,
I received n terrible blow on the back OF
the head which threw me out Of the boat
into the water and almost stunned me.
l was pulled back by my guide into the
boat, which was floating full Of water,
and found, lying full length in it, a por-
poise about nine feet long, which prob
ably weighed over 500 pounds. OF course
this fish never struck ME. or he would
have broken me to pieces. What hap
pened was: He jumped high In the air,
as they frequently do, and landed, head
first, at my feet in the stern Of the boat,
knocking hole through the ceiling and
bottom, Of the boat. and stunning himself.
The blow I received was caused by his
body falling upon me.
The nearest rowboat was several hum
dred yards of, and. as we feared the por-
poise might recover at any moment and
smash the boat to pieces with his tail,
my guide. Santa Armeda, tried to push
the porpoise over the edge of the boat,
but was unable to do so, owing to tho
fish's weight. Rather than take the con-
sequences Of what might happen II tho
porpoise came to before we were taken
out Of the boat, we slipped into the wa
ter and rolled the boat over, losing every
thing in the boat, but glad to do so, as
It included the porpoise.-Forest and
Stream.

come reports of continued military ac-
tivity on the frontiers and. while move

The Beers have established a camp at
Scheepers Neck, near Vryheid, and
they will mobilize a great force on the

Dundee expect will move across the
border to that spot probably. at once.

MANILA, Oct. 2. 2.-Aguinaldo's third
attempt to shift his difficulties into the
deld of diplomacy 10 the repetition Of
the other two, an endeavor to obtain
some sort of recognition Of his so.called
government.
The Filipino envoys had conference
with General Otis during the afternoon.
They brought message from Aguinal-
do that he desired peace and wished to
send civil governmental commissioners
to discuss terms. General Otis replied
that it was impossible for him to rec
ognize Aguinaldos government in that
way. They presented letter from
Aguinaldo as president Of the repub-
lic," which was mainly repetition Of
his recent dispatches
General Otis replied that while
Aguinaldo was looked upon as general
of the insurgent forces he could not
recognize him as head of any organized
government. Another conference will
be held.
Their Movements Unrestricted.
The commissions will remain two or
three days. Their movements are ut.
terly unrestricted, but they are under
the constant chaperonage of Captain
Jefferson of the Sixth infantry. They
visited the hospitals and distributed
money among the wounded Filipinos,
after which, they 4mada i. calls = and re-
ceived visitors ut their hotel.
1--WE desire peace, but peace with in
dependence and honor" said General
Alejandrino while conversing with a
representative of the Associated Press.
He impresses one as being shrewd and
dispassionate and a keen man of the
world. He was educated in Europe.
While reticent concerning his mission
his conversation threw an interesting
light upon the Filipino view of the
American attitude.
"How long will the Filipino army
Withstand $4,000 American troopsf" he
was asked.

sity for large army Of occupation in.
definitely. You Americans are holding
few miles around Manila, narrow
line of railways and few miles
around San Fernando. But you Amer.
leans are ignorant of the Island of Lu.
zon. We hold the rich, productive
northern country from which to draw.
Our people contribute the money and
food which maintains our army and
this supply is from an unlimited source.
Il might ask what the cost is to the
American people in maintaining the
troops in the Philippines. You do not
know the amount, Of course, but it
must be excessive. We perceive what
an American soldier requires in
this climate. On the other hand a
Filipino exists on a handful of rice and
q pair of linen trousers. We do not
have to pay our troops and can hold up
their wages as long as we please. With
our present supply of arms and ammu-
milton we can keep your army occupied
for vears"

LONDON, Oct. 2. Not the faintest
hint is allowed to escape as to what
diplomat communications, if any ARE
passing between London and South
Africa. So far as the public is con-
cerned matters have not advanced since
Friday. 1t is noticeable that not even
the Brussels agency of the Transvaal
has yet issued Mr.. Kruger's latest note
to the press. The silence maintained
on both sides is regarded as ominous.
From South Africa the news is wholly
concerned with the feverish prepara-
tions for hostilities: Commandant Gen.
eral Joubert is reported to have said
that he has 10000 men on the Natal
border and that Commander Cronjo has
5000 on the Bechuana side.

900 sacks of American -four on the
ground that it is unwholesome. United

protested at the palace, and obtained an
trade ordering the admission of the

exclusion was probably the failure to
bribe the officials.
