The Dewey Sword Presentation Exercises
in Washington VIII BE on q Mag
nificent Scale.

Washington, Sept. lathe central
feature of the Dewey celebration in
Washington will be the presentation
Of the sword voted by congress to tes-
Gify the appreciation of the American
people. 1t is believed that the pre-
sentation of the sword will be wit
oessed by a crowd greater in number
than has ever before assem- bled on the
plaza east of the capitol, even at the
most largely attended presidential in
auguration. Hon. John d. Long,
secretary of the navy, has been
invited to present the sword to
Admiral Dewey, and has expressed
his willingness to carry out this
pleasant task. President Mckinley
will sit beside the hero of Manila on
the stand, while the cabinet officers
and other distinguished persons will
occupy places about him. The sword
cost $4,000. It is undoubtedly one of
the most beautiful gifts that has ever
been presented to one of its heroes by
a grateful nation. With the exception
of the steel blade and the body of the
scabbard, the weapon is made entirely
of 22-carat gold.

Progress Made for Opening the Philip
pine Campaign - Beveridge Thinks
AgufnaIdo Must BE Suppressed First.

Washington. Sept. 12.-The calling
out of the two colored regiments of
volun teerS does not exhaust the force
authorized by congress. In all % regi-
ments have been called out. The max
imum strength of a regiment, under
the law providing for the volunteer
army, is 1,S09. Twenty-Five regi-
ments, with 1,309 men to each, would
aggregate force of 80, 725. To this
must be added the battalion of native
Porto Ricans, organized by Gen. Davis.
and numbering 600 men. This addition
brings the volunteer force up to 33, 325.
The number authorized by congress
was 35, 900. 1t will be seen, therefore,
that the president can still call out
1878 men. 1t has not yet been definite
ly decided whether another regiment
will be formed or whether the 1,675
men will be recruits as a reserve force
to supply losses which may occur in
the volunteer regiments through fatal
tiles in battle, sickness or other causes
The figures being prepared in the adj
jutant generals office on the showing
made by the different states in recruit
ing volunteers will contain many sur
priSes. 1t was stated that Georgia and
Alabama would make a better showing
than Wisconsin and Minnesota. Even
a greater surprise than this will be the
fact that Massachusetts, will lead all
the states of the union in the number
of men recruited for the first ten volun-
teer regiments to go to the Philippines.
and Texas will be second.
President Mckinley receives from
the war department daily reports of
the progress being made for the re-
opening of the campaign in the Philip
pines this fall. The quartermaster's
department of the army reports having
made arrangements which will insure
the transportation of the men to Ma
Mia without delay An ample supply
of Krag-Jorgensen rifles is being turned
out by the government armories and
SmOkelesS powder is available in neces-
sary quantities. so that every soldier
in the Philippines will be armed with
modern gun.
Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, fresh
from the Philippines, has had four con-
ferences with the president within the
past few days, in the course of which
he has given him much valuable infor-
nation. Senator Beveridge is con-
WINGED, it is alleged, that Aguinaldo
must be suppressed with force before
listening to any propositions concern
ing the future of the islands. In this
connection the fact is recalled that in
April, 1898, three days before the break
ing out of the Spanish war, Senator
Beveridge made a speech in Boston in
which he advocated taking the Philip
pines from Spain. He said that Grant
was the man who first used the terms
unconditional surrender and Let US
have peace But if ShOuld he remeIn-
bered, he said, that Grant insisted upon
unconditional surrender as the pre-
requisite of peace.
