ApMIRAL DEWEY REMAINS.
No Truth In Stories That He Is to Be
Relieved.

Washington, March 10.-The state
ment can be repeated on the authority
of the detail officers of the navy de-
partment that Admiral Dewey will not
be relieved at Manila until he chooses
to make application for such relief So
far he has not given any intimation
OF a purpose to apply for relief in the
immediate future. and from the few
declarations he has let fail the depart
ment has every reason to believe that
he does not contemplate any such ac-
tion. Consequently. there is no founda-
tion for the story that Admiral Schiey
or any other admiral has been selected
80 take command of the Asiatic sta
tion.
So far as the navy department is con-
cerned. the directing officials are not
only willing but anxious that Dewey
shall complete mis- task, and they dep
recate the circulations of such stories as
those alleging that he is TO be relieved,
for the reason that by constant reitera-
ton the impression might be conveyed
TO the admiral that the government
would like 10 relieve him. In the case
of Dewey's punctilious feeling, the
suggestion, If he had the slightest rea-
son to believe it had the slightest Off
cial foundation, would be sufficient to
induce him to apply Immediately for re-
lief. rather than 10 e7nbarrasS the de-
partment. AS Dewey himself fixed the
limitation of his stay by the length of
the task before him, it may be a mat
Ter of interest TO record the belief of
many naval officers that after all the
end is almost within sight.

ONE SENATOR FROM DELAWARE.
No Chance Itr An Election In This
State.

Dover Del, March 10-The Democrats
and regular Republicans who have been
such important factors in the triangular
senatorial fight. had an understanding
this evening which amounted to an agree
ment to disagree. but to leave Delaware
with only one senator at Washington for
two years. "Wh9t do you regulars pro-
pose to do?" asked the Democrats. If
you will support Senator Gray or give
him five votes more in recognition of his
services to the nation at this critical time.
we will support him to q man.
This was declined by the regulars, but
they agreed, if the Democrats wanted to
weed out Addicks, to give them one more
opportunity By taking up Colonel Dupont
again, for whom some of the Democratic
assenblynen had expressed desire 10
vote. The Democrats said no TO this, and
the result is that they are voting for
whomever they please, while the regulars
have again brought Colonel Dupont into
the fight. The Democrats, therefore, VIII
not take up Senator Gray again as
unit because they realize the necessity OF
leaving the senatorship an open question
for two years hence, and the Importance
of arousing enthusiasm of leading Demo-
Gratis by votes for them tomorrow and
Monday. the last days of the session. 1t
is consequently expected that tomorroW's s
voting will last well into the afternoon
and will make the daS memorable one IN
the history of Delaware.

SITUATION AT ILoILo.
Rebels Threaten Attack Upon Cen
eral Miller's Forces.


New York, March ia dispatch to
the Herald from Baacolood, island Of
Negros, March 4. says: After plea
SAINT voyage, the st. Paul, carrying the
deputation from Negros, Colonel James
T. Smith. the first American governor,
and the First battalion of the Califor
MIA regiment, Major Shines command
ing, arrived at Iloilo on March 3. AS the
vessel entered the harbor at midday it
found the artillery in action and Gen
eral Miller's command advancing into
the cocoanut plantations at the right
of the line.
General Miller, fearing an organized
and strong attack upon the town, had
requested assistance from the Boston
in landing. Captain Wilde was unable
to accede to this request, owing to the
fact that a portion Of the crew was at
Cebu.
1t was at first expected thai, the Cali
fornians would land and assist General
Miller's forces. but on landing the Her
aid correspondent met General Miller
returning from the front and learned
that it was only false alarm.
Iloilo was terribly wrecked by the
insurgent incendiaries and presents a
scene of havoc and desolation. Magnifi-
cent residences and great warehouses
were totally destroyed.
General Miller and his staff are conf
dent they can hold the town. The in
surgent strength is not definitely
known, but it is believed that there are
1900 men armed with firearms and 1000
bolas They follow similar tactics to
those at Manila, dropping irritating
shots into the American lines through
out the night, but never appearing in
sufficient strength to justify resolute
forward movement. Few casualties are
reported.
The St. Paul proceeded to Baacolood
and arrived at noon today. The Amer
leans found a native guard OF honor
drawn up on the beach. The inhab-
itants We're alnicabiy disposed. The
American nag was already flying from

New York Officer Says It Is Bound
to Come.

Chicago. March 1O.-A' special to the
Tribune from New York is as follows:
1.-The Porto Ricans want independence, y
said Colonel William p. Hubbell, COM
mander of the One Hundred and Forty
seventh regiment, to day on his return
from Porto Rico.
Colonel Hubbell declared his belief that
an insurrection of the natives of Porto
Rico is bound to come sooner or later. He
says every evidence of the Forthcoming
uprising was given in Porto Rico, espec-
tally in the latter part of the stay of the
regiment there.
He said: The demonstrations made at
our departure convinced US that the ma
jority of the natives were glad to get rid
of US Our first difficulties on the island
were caused by our suppression of Sc
cret society known as the Blank Hand.
1t was organized on the same lines with
the Ku Klux in this country. A plot was
formed. of which We obtained ample
proof. to enter our. barracks by stealth
and put the entire portion of the regiment
which was at Caguay to the machete.
Fortunately, we We're placed on our guard
and the conspiracy was frustrated"

NEW POLICY FOR CUBA.
Military Rule to Be Replaced By
Civil Government.

Washington, March 1O.-The admins
tration is contemplating a change in
some features of the government OF
Cuba. It is probable that the military
government will, to a certain extent:
be replaced by civil government The
head OF the government must, of course,
remain military. but the plan in con-
temptation is to have civil officers in
place of military men in the cabinee
and subordinate positions. 1t is be-
lieved that experts in different lines
such as finance and revenue, and the
management of general business of the
island, and of the different municipali-
ties, will get along more smoothly
than the army officers. 1t is said that
the officers, being brought up under
strict military discipline, hold not the
main statutes, but the army rules and
regulations as the guide in all things,
while the civilian officers would hold
the statutes as the supreme guide and
endeavor to get along under them in
the best manner possible, and with
mere diplomacy than is possessed by
the army men.
