NEWS. in GENERAL
DEWEY MARRIED.
The Admiral Again Fools His Friends by
His Prom ptness.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O-Admiral
Dewey and Mrs. w. b. Hazen were
united in marriage yesterday at the
rectory of st. Pauls Catholic church.
After procuring the license for the
wedding, Lieut.. Caldwell, the private
secretary of the admiral, called on
Father Mackin, of whose church Mrs.
Hazen is communicate, and arranged
for the wedding. AS Admiral Dewey
is not Catholic, special dispensation
was required for the performance of
the ceremony, and this was procured
by Father Maclin from Bishop Curtis,
vicar general of the diocese of Balti-
more. Father Mackin performed the
ceremony, assisted by Rev. Joseph A.
Foley, assistant pastor, and Rev. S.
Hurlbut. The ceremony was strictly
private, and of the simplest character.
The bride was accompanied by Mrs.
Washington Mclean, her mother, anu
Mrs. Ludlow, her sister, while Admiral
Dewey was accompanied by Lieutenant
Caldwell, his aide. There were no
other guests, and after the ceremony
the admiral and Mrs. Dewey entered a
carriage and were driven to the resi-
dence of Mrs. Washington Mclean,
where wedding breakfast was served.
At 12:45 they left for New York. At
the close of the ceremony the admiral
grasped Father Mackin's hand and
said: Father, l am very greatly
pleased to have been married by you,
iar know at one time in your life you
were sailor" The arrangements for
the wedding were made with all the
secrecy which attended the whole
affair.

Dcnunciations or England and Victoria

New YORK, Nov. 1O.-The Tribune's
Paris correspondent writes that the
Anglophobia epidemic raging in the
French press is daily becoming more
acute. The nationalists, debating,
Praetorian and Clerical press, the same
papers that constitute themselves
champions of the late Generals staff,
during the Dreyfus affair, are strain
ing every nerve, it seems to steer pub
tic opinion SO as to arrive at war with
England. In reading the Patrie and
LeCroix one might suppose France and
England were already at war. Edi-
Sorial language and epithets are now
more violent than anything that APP
peared in either American or Spanish
newspapers during the Spanish war
and probably exceed in malignity and
abuse in all past achievements of the
French press in criticising the conduct
of the nation with which France is at
peace. Too much weight should not
be attached to their frantic rawlings,
but it is impossible to gauge correctly
the trend of national feeling in France
without taking into consideration the
stormy elements, which are constantly
at work, and which like Boulangism
OF the last decade adroitly enlist and
concentrate all floating units of dis
content

The NEWS in IOWA
ATTACKS THE LAW.
His Attorneys Claim that MILK Should
he Adulterated.

Dies MONIES, Nov. 12.-G. f. Schlen-
ker, the dairyman, was convicted in
Judge Bishops court of selling adulter-
ated milk. The jury rendered its ver-
dict without leaving the court room.
The defendant admitted frankly on
the witness stand that he had made a
practice of putting boracic acid into
the milk which he delivered to his Gus
toners every day. 1t was put in as
preventative, he declared, and was abb
solutely harmless. But there is new
point in law brought out in the trial
of this case. The code of Iowa pro-
vides that putting water or boracic
acid. or any other foreign substance
into milk, is adulteration. The code
further provides that if such milk is
sold or exposed for sale, crime against
the state is committed. In their mo-
ton for new trial of the Schlenker
case, the attorneys for the defense will
argue that such a clause in the code is
unconstitutional. They will also
maintain also that since boracic acid
improves the quality of milk, rather
than injuring it, the use of the acid
cannot properly be termed adulter-
alton; that adulteration'implies injury.
The decision of these questions on the
legality of the law will rest with Judge
Bishop when the defendants argu-
ments for a new trial are advanced.

NAVY TO HAVE NEW FLEET.
Holland Submarine Boat Finds Favor
with the Oficials.

with the Oficials.
Washington, Nov. 1S.-The success
of the recent tests with the Holland
boat at Peconic bay, Long island, is
considered by naval officials here as
an assurance that the vessel will be
purchased by the United States gov
eminent. The tests were under the
direction of officers of the navy and
it is understood that the official report
will favor the vessel. Navy officials,
in fact, are claiming part of the credit
for the success Of the marine wonder,
because the final test was held under
conditions some of which were pre-
scribed by the bureau of construction.
1t is believed that Rear Admiral
Hichborn will recommend to Secre-
tary Long not only the purchase OF
the boat, but also the building of at
least three like it next year. Secre-
tary Long said a few days ago that he
had intended to confine his recon-
mendations to two or three armored
cruisers and probably half a dozen
smaller vessels. 1t is said now that he
will make a supplemental recon-
mendation for three or four of the
Holland boats.
1t is certain that the United States
viii not permit any other nation to
obtain the control OF this invention.

ARMY MOVING NORTH.
Gen. Wheaton Makes q Substantial Ad-
vance and Lands at Dagupan.


MANILA, Nov. 11.--General Wheat
on's expedition arrived off San Fabian
Monday night, but the surf was too
high to permit the landing of troops
in small boats. Tuesday morning the
expedition approached Lingayan, a
suburb of Dagupan, which has a shell
tered harbor with high sand dunes
stretching from the water to town.
The Bennington, Helena, Manila, CAL
lao and Samar shelled the town and
beach for an hour with the full
strength of their batteries, but there
was no response, nor was there visible
sign of life. The troops landed in
boats, five steam launches, each towing
four boats. When these approached
the shore and the troops began to land
long line of insurgents rose from the
sand and poured heavy volley over
the heads of the soldiers, following
this with rapid fusilade. The insurg-
ents were excited and fired high,
few of their bullets striking the boats
and two men were wounded. The
companies formed and were ordered to
lie down in the sand. They gave the
insurgents few volleys and then
charged, driving the enemy with
rush. The Filipinos had lain behind
the dunes during the bombardment,
the shells ploughing through the sand
and doing them little if any damage.
The gunboat Manila brought the news
with his entire force of 2,700 men was
marching eastward leaving Dagupan.

Indianola, was defeated for reelection
to the state senate from the Warren
Clarke district by $50 votes. His de-
feat was brought about by Clarke
county, upon which the nomination of
Berry was forced by Warren. Clarke
was entitled to the, senator this year
by the rule of rotation always followed
in this district, but Warren was able
to nominate and refused to give up the
nomination. Consequently, Clarke
county made a bitter fight on Berry,
which resulted in the election of w. ID.
Talman, of Osceola, democrat. Berry
is a strong Cummins man. M. l..
Temple, of Osceola, was elected to the
house from Clarke county by GO votes
over A. w. Mowers, democrat. Now
ers was in the last house, to which he
was elected over Temple because of the
latter's espousal of the Temple amend
ment cause. After the Temple amend
ment became a law two years ago, it
was decided to make another fight for
Temples election.

Triumphant Utterances of the British
Press Not Justified.
LONDON, Nov. 9.-Beyond the crop of
ever-recurring rumors, mostly without
foundation, there is little news from
the front. An official dispatch from
General Butler shows that Ladysmith
was still in fighting trim Sunday and
anticipating the recommencement of
the bombardment Monday. There is
nothing, apparently, to justify the tri-
umphant utterances in the British
press. While it is admitted there is
some room for congratulation, there is,
it is added, room for grave fears. The
announcement yesterday that 5000
Beers, with big guns, left Pretoria on
the way to the southern border, is
said to merely be ruse to hide the
real destination of this force, which it
is believed is Ladysmith. Those best
qualified to express an opinion on the
subject believe that the quiescence of
the Beers is ominous, and that they
expect shortly to hear of large acces-
sions of Boer guns in position, and a
severe bombardment of the beleagured
camp.

Whites Forces at Ladysmith Reach out
Toward Colenso.
LONDON, Nov. S.-Last nights vel
come dispatches from the front have
wrent the veil of gloom enveloping
Ladysmith, showing the British gar
rison not merely standing on the dog
ged defensive, but executing series
of brilliant sorties. Accounts from
different sources agree that the laconic
official description of Thursdays en-
gagement as an effective Smelling of
the Boer lager" was unduly modest.
1t appears that General Sir George
Stewart White sent strong force of
cavalry and infantry to attack the
Beers at Tatham's farm, about ten
miles to the northwest, near Bester's,
and apparently achieved a surprise,
the Beers being caught on the open
veldt and cut to pieces and their camp
captured.
Later an effort was made to relieve
the British garrison supposed to be
located at Colenso. General Whites
division caught the Beers in the rear,
and after the hills had been shelled the
British infantry stormed the position.
Meanwhile the British cavalry swept
around the hills and as the retreating
enemy descended into the plains with
British bayonets behind them and the
river in front of them, they were
charged by the cavalry and seem to
have persisted almost to a man. The
British then returned to Ladysmith
without coming into touch with the
Colenso garrison, which had retired to
EStcOurt

inch breech-loaders are claimed to be
of superior character and it is expected
will be particularly serviceable in re-
moving the Beers from the hills.
