no; not just now. They prob

1t was suggested to the Ad-
niral that the Democratic slate
had been settled With Admiral
Dewey for the Presidency and
General Wheeler for the Vice
Presidency.
"Well," said the Admiral, we
should make a pretty mess of it.
General Wheeler, Of course, has
lad some training in the :politi-
al school. but then he is West
Pointer. l had forgotten that.
He would want to run every

and, of course, would make a
splendid mess of it. You cam

Some one said just then to the
Admiral that his son was re-
ported to have made statement

The Admiral laughed out

1eck some yards away. at the
same time saying:
"My son knows as much
about what my politics are as

The Admiral would not say a
word about the alleged interiors

A TALK WITH
ADMIRAL DEWEY,
He Talks Interestingly About
His Experiences in The
Philippines.
AGUINALDO SIZED UP,
What the Archbishop of Man
ila Thinks of American
Sailors.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The
Evening Post prints the follow
ing interview with Admiral
| Dewey:
They are a splendid lot," the
Admiral said, speaking of his
men; the very pick, the finest
In our navy, and that means the
best In the world. Before l got
to Manila, the Archbishop, with
whom l afterward became very
intimate, said that the American
sailors were the scum of the
earth, blood~thirsty lot of cut
throats, who would destroy
everything in their path.
Later on, when I did get
there" said the Admiral with
knowing smile, "the Arch
bishop came on board one day
while | had a battalion on drill,
the very same battalion that Will
parade in New York. The Arch
bishop went On the bridge and
watch I'd them closely. l knew
he was admiring them, and l
said to him We'll, what do YOU
think of our American sailors?'
"They are Splendid he said.
i have seen the men Of most
navies, but never anything like
these. They are magnificent. 1
cannot understand it-such
splendid young fellows. How
does it happen7'
"Well,' l replied, we look tor
the best men, we come closer to
our men, we treat them better
than other countries do, and We
pay them better
Then 1 called a 1nan and said
to him: How much do you get
a month"; He saluted and said:
Eighty dollars. SIR The Arch
bishop was astonished. You
know $50 would pay a whole
shipload of Spasiards. After
that the Archbishop had very
great respect for us, ard became
very friendly. Here ! have a
picture of General Luna, which
was given to me by the Arch
bishop"
The Admiral then sent an
orderly for the picture of the
Philippine general, who was
murdered by order of Aguinal-
do" as he said. The picture was
that of a negro in a sort of mill
tary uniform. On the back was
an inscription in Spanish to the
Archbishop Of Manila, Father
Bernardino Nesalado. 1t was
signed by Luna.
Admiral Dewey then said that
Luna was the best man the Phili-
ppinos had. at was a plot" he
said, to assassinate him. A
crack swordsman was placed as
sentry, and when Luna appear
he simply stabbed him. But

were great friends and are, for
the matter of fact, but he has

produced a thick black stick

THE FACE AT THE WINDOW.
We left Chattanooga at midday,
crossed the Tennessee. and moved
northward by the pike along the base
of Waldron's Ridge. On our left tow.
cred the ridge; on our right, among in
Vulnerable hills, wound the Tennessee.
The general rode at the head of the col
umn, his hat pulled down over his eyes,
doubtless to conceal the turbulent
thoughts within him. We of the staff
knew that he was in no mood to be
trifled with, and took pains to execute
promptly and satisfactorily such orders
as he gave us, that he might have no
cause to lash us with his sharp-edged
tongue, which he could use with such
effect when irritatcd.
The afternoon was spent. was rid
ing with the general, the head of col
umn short distance to the rear. Com
ing to a sharp rise in the road, just be-
fore reaching the summit, there APP
peared suddenly the face of woman;
then her form, then the horse she rode,
came successfully into view. At first
she seemed about to turn and flee, but
instead she sat blankly staring at us.
The sun, which was near the setting,
shot sheaf of rays flashing in her eyes,
lighting up her face; her lips were
compressed in an effort to appear calm.
Margaret" exclaimed the general.
Whether the girl was too startled to
control her tongue or did not recognize
an old friend, she continued to stare
mutely.

there was an evident constraint be-
tween her and the general, for, beyond
an inquiry from him as to her mothers
health, and reply that she was still
an invalid, no word passed. We trotted
on, wondering at the strange meeting
and what would come of it, a continued
beating of hoofs and clanking of sabers
behind us. untilwe reached plantation
in the center of which stood square
house, in its front one of those porticos
with Ionic columns in vogue during the
''tifties." The yard included something
like a dozen acres, and was surrounded
by high picket fence. The general,
the girl and entered the gateway and
rode up to the house.
And now happened something which,
had not looked up at the very moment
| did, would have turned the whole cur
rent of this story, perhaps rendered it
not worth the telling. What put it into
my head ] know not. | might as well
have cast my eye on the well-house,
or on rock jutting out between
the trees, or an old darby back
in the road scraping the dirt off
hoe, or couple of mules feed
ing. l saw all these, and there was
nothing strange in it, for they were on
level with my eye; but what was
strange was that should have looked
up at Il certain window in the top story
of the house in the very nick OF time to
see the Stats in the shutter turn, and an
ashen face with startled eyes quickly
sweep our party and rest an instant OIL
our prisoner. Then the Stats were
turned again. 1t was all done so quick
ly that l could not tell whether I had
seen man or a woman. Quick as

what do you mean?"
"Some one concealed up there. saw
face at window, and a look between
it and the girl"
AT the moment my brother aide-de-
camp, Walter Bland, came riding into
the place, and the general ordered hin
to bring sergeant and half a dozer
men and surround the house.

'and find out who is lurking there"

Where is it?"

CROSSROADS"
Where are you going?"

I'VE shall stop at the Cross Roads,"

The general looked perplexed. He
saw mischief in the girls going on, now
that she knew of our presence. At that
moment he especially desired to keep
his movements from the enemy.
ut will not be safe for you to 90 to
Chattanooga alone; better go back with
us to the plantation"
She gave him look of mingled sur
prise and reproach. "Do you mean that
you will use force?"
l had never seen the general so en-
barrassed. None of us who were look
ing on knew of his past relations with
this girl, except that it was apparent
they had been acquainted The sharp
interest with which we regarded both
added to the generals perplexity.

said the girl. with rising color in her
cheek and an angry light in her eye.
your very anxiety to go forward
necessitates my preventing you"
1t was strange picture, one that aft
er long years of peace often recall as
typical of the many incongruities of
war; the men in the ranks sitting in
their saddles in the various positions by
which horsemen contrive to relieve
their strained muscles, the horses, some
lowering their tired heads, others rest
lessly biting their bits, or nibbling at
the grass growing beside the road; the
young general thought him an old
man then-hts eyes fixed on the delicate
face OF the woman, in such marked con-
trast with his own. Yet Of all these de-
tails, one l recall far more wildly than
the rest-a tear on the girls cheek,
which the rays of the setting sun caused
to sparkle like diamond.
But there was only this tear to mark
her woman's weakness, for she sat de-
FAINT in our path. In twinkling the
general broke her down with kindly
tone that had been natural to him be-
fore his troubles, but which was rarely
heard now:
"Come, Margaret. go with US, won't
you?"
Turning her horses head, she rode
back as peacefully as child. But
