In the long course of his public life he
has had but comparatively little time
to practice his profession.
There is much specu alton as to who

The officials of the navy department
are confident that such of the men of

outright in the first ambuscade will be
well treated by the insurgents. Some
time ago the war department made In

by the Filipinos. In reply, General Gus

by the insurgents, he supplying FUNDS

The reports made to the navy de-

Dewey's officers, who made trip across
the island of LuZon from Manila to the
north coast, described the condition OF
the Spanish officials who were the pris-
oners of the insurgents as very COM

liberty.
