Washington, D. c., Aug. 10 The
national capital will give Dewey a
royal welcome The details Of his
reception now are nearing compile

medals has decided upon a souvenir

be replaced by reproduction of the
original flag of freedom, which was
flown by the first naval hero of the
nation, Paul Jones, when be carried
the Bonhomme Richard upon the
seas and began the peerless history
of the United States Navy to which
Dewey added luster at Manila.
This flag, which is now in the
National Museum, was made in Phil.
adelphia by Misses Mary and Sarah
Austin, under the immediate super.
vision of Gen. George Washington
and Captain John Brown. 1t is of
English bunting, two and one half
yards long and yard wide, sewed
with fax thread, and contains twelve
stars, arranged in four horIzont
lines of three stars each on a field of
blue. There are thirteen stripes,

When the flag was completed it
was presented to Paul Jones, who
placed it on a small vessel named
the Delaware and sailed up and
down the Schuylkill river while
thousands of Philadelphians assem-
bled along the banks and enthusiast
tically cheered it. Paul Jones placed
this flag at the masthead of the
Bonhomme Richard when he started
on his priyateering trip.
During the fight with the English
war vessel Scraps in the British
Channel the flag was shot away and
carried overheard, whereupon Lieut..
James Bayard Stafford jumped into
the sea and recovered it and, bring
ing it back to the Bonhomme Rich
ard. nailed it to the masthead.
That it was the first flag of Amer.
lean freedom is proved by many
historical facts, but particularly so |
by letter of Paul Jones himself, to |
be found in his life by Hamilton on
page %. He wrote as follows:
Il was, indeed, born in Britain,

GEN. HALE CALLS OTIS A COWARD.
Otis Spoiled a Vctory-RecaIIed Gen. Hale
When He Was Making Winning Fight
and Reprmanded Him.

and Reprlmanded Him.
Denver, Colo Aug. 16-Accord
ing to letter received here to day
from Henry Kerr, General Hale's
orderly, General Hale was recalled
from the firing line in an engage
ment with the Filipinos and ordered
to report in person to the command
ing General.
Hale, it seems, had entered the
engagement without direct orders.
He was in the act of winning a great
victory, but he obeYed, withdrawing
the brigade from the firing line. and
rode on his horse to General Otis s
headquarters This is the converse
ton that is said to have ensued:
General Hale, you shall not dis
obey me while / am in command OF
this army. I want you to explain
why you made that movement with
your brigade" spoke Otis.
81 did not disobey any orders. .
replied Hale, ''and we'll you know it.
1 came here to fight, and if that is
not your policy, I want you to
understand that it is mine. I saw
an opportunity to make successful
attack to-day and tried to accomplish
it, but you interfered and caused me
to fail"
This matter will go to Washing
ton" Otis said, "and you shall suffer
for it"
eff it does, I shall prefer charges
against you for cowardice," Hale
retorted.
Glow dare you to suggest such a
thing? You are an inferior officer,
and if you do not retract it I will
place you under arrest" Otis roared.
Hale made no retraction, but he
drew forth from his pocket set OF
army regulations and referred Otis
to section stating that any subor-
dinate officer had the right to cause
the arrest of a superior officer for
cowardice.
The war of words between the
two Generals was continued on these
lines for over half an hour. Hale
got the best of the argument and
Otis finally gave up, dropping the
case entirely.
General Hale, up to three months
ago, intended to remain in the serv-
ice, and was laying his plans to stay
In the Philippines. The friction be-
tween Otis and himself, however,
caused him to change his intention,
and he applied to be mustered out.
He is now on his way home.
Sensational developments in the
Otis-Hale controversy are expected
after the Colorado volunteers are

BRYAN ON THE ISSUES.
Links Anti-ImperiaIism With
Silver.

silver.
Des Moinee, To-, Aug. 16.-Wm.
j. Bryan declared in his speech here
that the Chicago platform, like the
inaugural address of Thomas Jeffer-
SOD, was built for ali time. He said:
eve need not repudiate a syllable
or idea of it. But when new and
important issues arise we can take
them into the family and make the
campaign upon them without apollo
giving for any past fight
Mr.. Bryan associated an anti trust
declaration with the movement
against imperialism, and said these
issues would be paramount next
year.
"a new danger of the trusts, he
said. ''has just been developed.
When trust gets control of all the
factories in a given line and the
hands of one factory strike, the trust
will close that one establishment
and make it's goods at the others.
When the workmen at that place are
starved to the point of working for
any wages offered, that factory will
be reopened and the lockout to re.
duce wages will be inaugurated at
another factory"
Mr.. Bryan closed his speech by a
lengthy discussion of imperialism.
The difference, he said, between a
Republic and an Empire is this: A
Republic needs an army of $4,000
for 100000 people; an empire
needs four times that large an army
when 10, 100000 population is added
'This suits the young men who
get fat jobs in the army, but not the
people who pay the $15,000,00O a
year needed to maintain the soldiers
in the Philippines"
Mr.. Bryan gave figures to show
that England and other nations do
not COLOMBO rapidly, and said that
with 20 people to the square mile in
America and 60 to the mile in the
Philippines, there is no opportunity
there.
He then took up the silver cues
ton, saying prosperity did not set
in until six months after the election,
when the Klondike gold mines be-
gan to be heard from.
THE republicans who claim that
times are better because the balance
of trade is in favor of the United
States give away their own position
and admit the democratic view of
the cumulative character of money
is correct.

Ex-Minister John Barrett, in the
Review of Reviews article before
quoted, says of Aguinaldo:
"By the middle of October, 1898,
he had assembled at Malolos a con-
gress of 100 men who would CON-
paro in behavior, manner, dress and
education with the average men Of
the better classes of other Asiatic
nations, possibly including the Japa-
nese. These men whose sessions l
repeatedly attended, conducted
themselves with great decorum and
showed knowledge of debate and
parliamentary law that would not
compare unfavorably with the Japa.

The army, however, of Aguinaldo
was the marvel of his achievements.
He had over twenty regiments Of

ton. Along with the army
there was a Red Cross association, at
the head of which were Aguinaldo's
mother and wife. In the
matter of native participation lin the
government 1 am a believer that
they are capable of a much larger
degree of responsibility than that
for which they are commonly given
credit"
Our vice consul at Hong Kong,
Mr.. Wildman, wrote to Harper's
Weekly last winter:
Whatever the outcome of our
policy in the Philippines will be, the
islands will ever owe debt of deep
gratitude to Aguinaldo. He has
made life and property safe, pre-
served order and encouraged a
continuation of agricultural and
industrial pursuits. He has made
brigandage and loot impossible, re-
spected private property, forbidden
excess, either in revenge or in the
name of the state, and made WON.

has been for 800 years"
It has been urged that the Visay-
ans in the islands south of Luzon |
would not accept the rule of tie
Tagals under Aguinalde. There is
no reason why they should. They
are little, if any, inferior to the
Tagals, would be on political equal
ity with them, and could have SO
large range of local authority as
to prevent serious collision; or
might even have a government of
their own. Since the wild hill tribes
must be met by force anyway, the
Tagals and Visayans are quite as
we'll able to cope with them as the
troops would be.
