Dewey Wanted to Capture Manila
twenty-five Years Ago.
WAS DISAPPOINTED THEN
DISPUTE WITH SPAIN OVER
VIRGINIUS AFFAIR SETTLED.
But While Things Had Warlike APP
pearance, Commander Dewey
Asked, In Case Hostilities Broke
Out, That He Be Given Permission
to Seize the Philippine Capital.

Washington. Aug. An interesting
historical fact dating back to 1873, has
come to light in which Admiral Dewey
was the central figure Dewey. then
a commander. was in command of the
United States steamer Narragansett on
the Asiatic station, having taken
charge of the vessel on March l, 1873
The vessel was on surveying duty
when the Virginius trouble was pre-
cipitated and a war with Spain seemed
imminent.
Commander Dewey wrote to the navy
department requesting that in case
war was declared he should be assigned
to the duty of capturing Manila. The
peaceful settlement of the controversy
with Spain avoided the necessity for a
hostile demonstration, but the interest
ing fact is that the doughty officer had
his eye On Manila over a quarter of a
century ago.
A search will be made for the letter
in the files of the navy department and
if found il is expected an effort viii be
made by the citizens committee 10
have it reproduced as a souvenir of
the reception to be rendered Admiral
Dewey upon his arrival here.

Their Time Telling War Stories.
Especial Correspondence)


san Francisco, Aug. 5.-The Utah
men looked in vain for the paymaster

An effort is being made by Major
Grant and Colonel Burton TO secure two
months pay for the men, and with this
end in view they called yesterday on
General Shafter. The general stated
that as June SO ended the fiscal year,
the men would ordinarily be paid up
10 that time only, but he promised to
telegraph to Washington for a special
dispensation allowing two months pay.
While the men are without wealth.
they spend most OF their time lying idly
around their tents recuperating after
tie fatigue of jungle war. and getting
their joints loOsened- Colonel Shaugh-
messy was a. visitor at the camp yester-
day and revived the old war spirit
with a few "reminiscences. He congrat-
uiated Major Grant on the comfortable
location Of the men,
Lindsey Hudson is of opinion that
the limited mention given Lieutenant
Webb's alligator is entirely dispropor-
tionate 10 its magnitude. The circum-
stance OF his taking eff is sufficient to
make the alligator famed forever. No

Prospectors Still In the Country of
YaQui Indians.
DELAY WILL MEAN DEATH
MUST HEED FIRST WARNING
THAT REACHES THEM.
Quite a Number Have Already Es-
capped, Abandoning Rich Claims
Mexican Troops Are On Th-ir W y
to the Front and Hostilities Will
Soon Open.

Chicago, Aug. IA special to the
Record from Austin, Tex. says: A dis
patch was received here tonight from
Casas Grandes, state of Chihuahua,
Mexico, saying that one regiment of
Mexican cavalry had just left there
and started on its way TO the upper
waters of the Yaqui river, in the state
of Sonora, and that it is the evident
intention of these troops to enter the
Yaqui Indian country from the north
and endeavor to drive the warning
braves out of their stronghoidS in the
Sabuaripa mountains, where they are
rapidly gathering in large force.
One body of rebellious Indians have
fortified themselves in the Bacatete
mountains, between the Yaqui and
Matapo rivers, and an effort is to be
made to keep the two forces of war
riors apart. 1t is known, however, that
the two divisions are in constant COM
munication by means of courier, and 1t
is feared the Indians are planning to
draw the Mexican soldiers into an am
buscade.
Two more parties of American pros
pectors have just arrived at CaSaS
Grandes. They had rich placer MIN
ing camp near the junction of the "a
phigochic and Bataphio rivers, which
lUGN upOu HtdiiDS b1O ~
ports of murder and terrible outrageS
committed by rowing bands of Yaqui
Indians at points below them.
Indians Well Prepared.
Captain Martin Ross, an old Arizona
prospector. is member of one of these
parties. He was one of the first pros
pectors to enter the Yaqui country af-
ter it was made safe to gold hunters.
He says the Indians are undoubtedly
well prepared for a long and bitter re-
sistance. He believes the majority or
American prospectors will hear of the
uprising in time to escape if they will
only heed the first warning that reaches
them. Any delay in breaking camp
may mean their death.
Captain Ross also says there are not
as many prospectors along the Yaqui
river as is generally supposed. Several
thousand went into the new country
during the last two years, but the ma
jority of them were disappointed in
their search for gold and got out as
quickly as they could He estimates
that there are not over 500 Americans
in the whole district There is only
one extensive mining plant within easy
reach of the Indians. 1t is in the vicin-
ity of Baroyeca and is owned by Cal
ifornia capitalists.

mission of the elders, and did not con-
ceive of the great work that lay before
