HOME FOR DEWEY.
THE ADMIRAL CONSULTED IN
THE MATTER.
Suggests the Locality He Would
Like to Reside in, and Requests
the House be Modest One.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. - Admiral
Dewey has elected to accept a house
IN Washington already constructed, in
stead of having one built for his oc-
cupation. In accordance with the in
vitation of the committee which has
had in charge the Dewey Home work,
he called at the office of Acting Secre-
tary Allen, in the Navy Department,
at 10 o'clock to-day to indicate his
preferences in the matter of a resi-
dence. There were present besides Mr.
Allen Assistant Secretary Vanderlip,
Mr.. Heath and Adjutant General Cor
bin.
The Admiral was officially informed
OF the purpose of the people of the
United States to present him with a
home at Washington. He frankly ex-
pressed his qualification at the tender,
which he Immediately accepted. He
said had the proposed hones been the
gift of a few wealthy men he should
feel indisposed to accept it. But he
noted that the fund had over 43 30UO
subscribers, indicating that the home
was to be really the gift of the Ameri-
can people, and as such he would ac,
cept it with as much pleasure as he
had the sword bestowed upon him by
Congress.
He then said he wished the house to
be located in the northwest section OF
the city somewhere west of Sixteenth
street, and not too far north, thus in
dicating the neighborhood of his form
er residence, and the club where he had
spent a good deal of his leisure time.
First of all, he wanted the house at
the earliest possible moment, so that
he might ''go in and hang up his hat
at once" as he put it. Of course, that
precluded the idea of erecting a house
to meet his special needs.
He expressed his ideas as to the
character of the home he desires, and
asked that the house be modest enough
in appointment and cost to permit of
the retention of a sufficient sum OF
money from the purchase fund to de-
fray the expense of furnishing it.
The committee listened attentively to
all these wishes, and saw no reason
why all could not be gratified.
The Admiral is going to New York,
and will see the yachts on his way to
Shellburn Farm, Vermont. He expects
to return to Washington in a week or
so.

MRS. L. H. TODD.
VIII be Removed to Hawaii Islands
on Government Transport.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6-The Com
missioner of immigration is in commu-
nication with General Shafter at San
Francisco, with a view to securing
passage on a transport for Mrs. L. M.
Todd, a leper living in San Francisco,
whom it is intended to deport to the
island of Molokai
The British Consul General at San
Francisco, w. G. Pickersgill, became
interested in Mrs. Todd's case, and pro-
tested against deporting her to Molo-
kai He was asked to make provision
for her care and isolation in Canada or
elsewhere, but declined to do SO, and
the Treasury Department to-day di-
rected immigration Commissioner
Schell at San Francisco to proceed un-
der his previous instructions to secure
passage for Mrs. TODD on some army
transport.

FIRE ON THE LEoNA.
The Steamers Cargo Still Burning
Fiercely Yesterday.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The Mallory
line steamship Leona's cargo was still
burning fiercely in the forward part
of the ship this morning. The fire boat
New Yorker, which lies on the star
board side of the Leona, was playing
streams into the fore part of the ship,
and streams were also being played
from the pier.
The plates of the ship were too hot
in the forward part and amidship for
the stevedores and longshoremen to at
tempt to board her. In the after part
Of the ship the fire was suppressed dur
ing the night.
The Leona lies three-fourths sub
merged, her starboard deck and rail
awash. She is on her beam ends, and
it is impossible to walk erect upon her
unsubmerged deck. Her pole masts
indicate an angle of about forty de-

The Government Transport, Loaded
With Mules and Horses,
Encounters Two Typhoons While En- Route
to the Philippines.
Most of the Forage, Which Was on
Deck, Swept Overheard, All the
Boats Smashed in and All But
Nineteen Head of the Stock
Killed.

MANILA, Oct. 6.-The United States
transport Siam, which left San Fran
cisco August 18th with upward of
$50 valuable mules, the coming of
which had been anxiously awaited, as
the mules are in great demand for con-
tlnuing the campaign, arrived this
morning and reported that all but nine
teen of the animals had been lost in
two severe typhoons under peculiarly
distressing conditions.
The Siam left Honolulu thirty-one
days ago and encountered the typhoons
early this week. One lasted forty
hours. Most of the forage, which was
on deck, was swept overheard, all the
boats were smashed in, and the steam
er rolled tremendously in the trough of
the sea, although the officers made
every effort to bring her about. The
mules were hurled from side to side
and frightfully mangled and disem-
bowled. Their legs and necks were
broken, and the wretched animals fell
in such a confused mass that the at
tendants were unable to relieve them.
In the meantime the deck load was
washed off, the ship lightened and the
rolling increased.
When the storm abated the injured
animals were killed and their carcasses
thrown overheard.
When the Siam arrived her propeller
was high out of the water and the
wrecks of her boats were hanging from
the davits.
