beers, the Filipinos were easily con.
trolled. For the first century the Span
ish army never exceeded 500 men, and
for two centuries, Foreman says, mil
itary organization hardly existed"
The first revolt against Spanish
authority was in May, 1854. Some of
the principal natives of Manila and ad-
joining territory had become dissatis-
fed, but they were easily put down and
the leaders of the insurrection were
killed. In 1889 the garrison to com
mand the islands was fixed at 400 sol
diers with the necessary officers, and
the following year saw the beginning
of the construction of the still exist
ing walls around the old town, and the
old cathedral. small party of sol
diers explored the interior of Luzon
without mishap. In 1896 force of PA
men and some monks were sent to
Mindanao to establish Spanish author
ity throughout that island. The coast
tribes were friendly, but one in the in
terror fortified their town and drove
the Spaniards back to the coast, after
killing the chief of the expedition and
few soldiers. This tribe afterward
met defeat in trying to drive the Span
ish from the island and then acknowl-
edged the supremacy of the Spanish,
and the latter were safe in travelling
throughout the island. The following
year the Jolo islanders killed thirty
soldiers, and in 1899, with the warlike
Mindanao tribe, who had become en-
boldened by the withdrawal of the sol
oilers, fitted out a feet and attacked
the Spanish on the island of Negros
The natives of Oton and Panay joined
and the total force was SO vessels with
5000 men and some artillery and fire
arms. The few Spanish al the capital
of Negros were captured and the town
burned. Towns on other islands were
were committed, and a compact was
entered into to renew the war the fol-
lowing year. The island of Oton was
the first objective point of the second
excursion. Seventy soldiers were in
the fort and they repulsed 1900 rebels
and drove them TO their boats. The
Spanish captain pursued SO closely on
a horse that the revolutionists cut the
animals legs and the captain, falling
to the ground, was killed. These dar.
ing tribes continued their expeditions

til in 1902 Don Francisco Teilo. the gov.

DEWEY,S WISH.
II Is Said That He Wanted to Attack
ara Capture Manila Twenty
Five Years Ago.

1t is a remarkable fact that Admiral
Dewey contemplated the attack and
capture of Manila 25 years ago, and it
may develop that he carried out last
year the plans which were prepared
generation ago. In 1873, when the
Virginius outrage was perpetrated,
Commodore Dewey was in command of
the Narragansett, which was on the
Asiatic station. The country was in
famed over the outrage and war with
Spain seemed imminent. Dewey wrote
the navy department officials asking to
be assigned to the duty of capturing
Manila if war should be declared. The
peaceful settlement of the Virginius
affair prevented the plans of the adj
miYal being carried out, but it is an
interesting fact that the hero of Manila
bay had his eye on the Philippine cap
ital quarter of a century ago.
When the Olympia, followed by the
rest of the magnificent fleet, steamed
into Manila bay Is months ago, Admiral
Dewey doubtless remembered his ear
lier aspirations. as well as the Maine
horror, and that he did his work so
well may have been due to the fact that
few well-placed shots were fired in
revenge for the Virginius horror. 1t
is probable the letter written by Com
modore Dewey in 1873, in which his
plan of attack was outlined, is on file
at the navy department. A search will
be made for it, and if it is found will be
reproduced by the citizens committee

given the admiral upon his return TO

SETTLEMENT PROBABLE.
Belief in Washington That
Samoan Difficulty Is
About Over.

Washington, April 2.-The opinion is
expressed in official circles here that
the outlook for a satisfactory and
peaceful final adjustment of Samoan
affairs is decidedly hopeful. The state
ment was made today in a well in
formed quarter that it is altogether
likely that the Joint high commission,
by virtue of the plenary powers vested
in its Individual members, will be able
to conclude settlement of the Samoan
question satisfactory to all the powers
concerned, and that there is such an
understanding between the three pow
ers as almost certainly will prevent
any disagreement such as would make
it necessary to ask King Oscar Of Swe-
den and Norway to act as umpire.
The peaceful solution of this delicate
question, full of possibilities of serious
trouble, is regarded as triumph of di-
plomacy and as furnishing the strong
est kind Of evidence Of a desire on the
part of Germany as well as of the other
two powers to maintain the most ami
cable relations one with the other.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Joseph N. Muir Breaks Through the Ice
at the Lake, Gut Saves Himself.

at the Lake, Gut Saves Himself.
Joseph N. Muir had a close call from
drowning at the lake yesterday. He
tried to walk on top of water which
was covered by thin ice only and went
through. He managed to extend his
arms and save himself from going under
entirely, and after hard struggling
pulled himself out.
Muir broke through about 10 feet east
of Fenners wharf just north <of the
causeWay. He is a member of the
Wachusett Boat Club and intended to
be present at the meeting yesterday. He
though to save long walk around by
crossing the ice. He chose a bad spot
for beginning the trip. The ice in the
cove south of the Women's bath -house
is not as thick as in other places on ac-
count Of the current under the cause
way bridge. Muir had taken but a few
steps when he went in. Before starting
he yelled to other members who were
quite distance over the causeWay that
he would be over before them. He
wasn't. Nobody was near when he went
through, and if he had not been able to
extract himself he would have gone
down before assistance could reach
him. Muir is not an expert in the water,
having learned to swim only last year.
When he got out he went TO the Bel
mont house, where he was given a
thorough rubbing and he was apparent
ly none the worse for his cold bath in
the evening.
The ice on the lake is very thick for
this season Of the year, James A Ten
Eyck cut hoe m front Of the Quin-
slgamond boat house yesterday to find
out how thick it is. There we're 1s in
ches OF ice where he cut it. Mr.. Ten
ElVck CROSSED the Ia Ike To the Wachusett
house yesterday after Muir got in, but
he went north of the womens bath
house where there is no current to
weaken the ice.

years the guiding spirit Of the local
band of the Volunteers of America,
died yesterday morning at his home,
1853 Pleasant street, from a complica-
ton of diseases. Capt. Howard has
been sick but d comparatively brief pc
Rod. and his death will be shock to
the friends who have come to know the
sterling worth of his character.
Since the first corps of the Volunteers
of America was established in this city,
after the split occurred between Com
mander Ballington Booth and his
father. Gen. William Booth, Capt. How
ard has been closely identified with the
local corps, anu it is through his en-
ergy and executive ability that theVol-
unJeers have grown here and become
the influential factors that they are in
the work which engages their atten-
ton. Capt. Howard was impressed
with the national spirit that pervades
the Volunteers. and has devoted time
and effort to its success.
He was a member of the Free Will
Baptist church, from which his funeral

a GIGANTIC SWINDLE
Several Arrests Made Of
Men Who Tried to Rob
Globe Savings Bank.

Buffalo, N. Y, April 1.-The arerst OF
John L. White, whose address is given
as the St. Paul building, 220 Broadway

wood. said to be of Syracuse, and the

| J. W. Reynolds, who is said to have an
Office in the Gallatin National Bank
building SO, Wall street, New York
city, Samuel Piser and E. A. Alger, also
Of New York, all on the charge OF
grand larceny, has brought to light an
alleged scheme to make away Win the
assets OF the Globe Savings ana Loan
association of this city.
The four men mentioned came 10 BuI-
fal0 a few months ago, and accofolhS
10 the story as told by the officers ana
hose interested, visited the offices OF
he loan company, saying they were
organizing a building association com
bine or trust, and wanted the GLOBE
company to Join 1t.
The story told by the officers and d.
rec,ors Of the company was a plauslbIe
and inviting one.
On March 9th Eastwood, Plser ana
Alger came to Buffalo again, ana mn
medfately following their arrival the
directors of the Globe Company re-
signed, and Eastwood and his friends
were elected to their places. The new
board at once proceeded TO organize by
eIecting White as president and East
wood as secretary and treasurer.
Accompanied by the former treasurer
Of the association, Eastwood visited va
rious banks in which money was de-
posted to the credit Of the Globe. Asso-
citation, and was introduced to the bank
officials
Later in the day Eastwood returned
alone to the City National Bank and
drew $40, 500, saying that the association
had bought a tract of land in Queens
county, and the money was to make
payment on it.
Eastwood at the same time deposited
with the City Bank drafts drawn on
several other local banks for amount of
the loan associations balance, stating
that he wished to bring the balance in
the City bank ~ to respectable figures.
One of these checks, drawn ON the Citi-
zens Bank, attracted the attention of
President Joseph Block, who suspect
ed something wrong, and consulted the
attorney of the Globe Association re-
garding it.
The other directors and officers were
at once called together, and an injunc-
ton was secured restraining the differ
ent banks from paying out funds held
by them to the credit OF the Globe As
ISOLATION
After the injunction had been Sc
cured, check for $4,000 made paya-
BILE to Samuel Piser and endorsed by
| Reynolds, drawn through a Rochester
| bank, reached the City National Bank
| here, and another Tor $4,000 drawn
| through the Chemical National Bank
| of New York by White, arrived at an
other bank.
Both checks were held up pending
! further investigation Of affairs of the
| association. The original directors Of
| the Globe association, have made good
| the $10,5OO drawn from the City Ma
| tional Bank, and the assets of The
| Globe concern are therefore unim-
| paired.

while on the Dolphin, assisted in the
capture of the slave brig Echo, with
300 slaves aboard. After being made
lieutenant in 1858, he was attached to
the steamer Mohawk which captured
the SLAYER Wildfre, off the coast OF
Cuba. with 500 slaves on board.
After the breaking out Of the war,
the Mohawk was placed in the Texas
and East Gulf blockade, but Carpenter
was transferred in 1862 to the steamer
Flag of the South Atlantic squadron,
and on July 16 of that year was pro-
NOTED to lieutenant commander.
He next saw service on the monitor
Catskill of the South Atlantic blockad-
ing fleet, and was on board during the
operations and attacks upon the de-
lenses of Charleston, on April 7th, July
10th and August II, 1868.
During the latter part Of the war, he
was at the naval academy, and after
the. close, went to the Asiatic station
with the slOop Hartford, the flagship.
His first command was the steamer
Wyoming of the same squadron, and
after being on her yelr. he came back
to this country, and for two years was
stationed at the Portsmouth navy yard,
during which time he was commission
ed as commander
From 1871 to 1872 he had command
Of the Nantasket (third rate) but re-
turned to Portsmouth on equipment
duty for three years. His next sea
duty was on the Inflated Huron OF the
