The story is going the round that Madame

present celebrity she toured with several

quette this brought the lady under the def
milton of ''strolling player" a fact which
she was not aware of. and her astonish-
ment was great when she received a refusal
from the lord chamberlain in which it was
stated that he was prevented from granting
the permission she asked. The lady has
made no secret of this message, and the
matter is causing much comment in mu-
steal and artistic circles. The funny part
is that Madame Melba has many times sung
privately before the queen. and been receive

Dewey Still Gables the Navy De
partment for Additional
Gunboats
and Secretary Long Will Give
Him All That Can Possibly
be Spared.
Will Have, with Those Captured
and Raised, About Thirty
Vessels.
Admiral Also Wants a Shipment
of Plug Tobacco and Amer
lean Food.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The navy de-
partment has received long cipher
cable dispatch from Admiral Dewey
making acquisitions for ships and sup
plies urgently needed on the Asiatic
station. The admiral reiterated the
request he has made several times in the
last few weeks that additional light
draught gunboats should be sent to him
notwithstanding the fact that Secretary
Long informed him Friday that the
Castine was starting Immediately by
way of Suez and other vessels would
follow when they could be spared. A
reply was sent to the admiral that the
Bennington, now on her way from Hon
olulu to make surveys at Guam, would
he ordered to Manila, and the Machias,
now repairing at Portsmouth, N. H.,
would follow the Castine through the
Mediterranean in few weeks, ON her
way to join his fleet.
Secretary Long added a request to
Admiral Dewey to designate specifically
any other gunboats he desired, in order
that the department might crafty him
if possible. The authorities recognize
the advisa bility of sending all the gun
boats that can be spared to the Asiatic
station, ON account of their adaptability
to service in the archipelago, but in adj
dition to the Concord and Petrol, which
are now at Iloilo, the Helena is at Port
Said on her way TO Manila, and Admiral
Dewey now has in commission the Cal
lao, the Manila, the Culgoa and the
Barcelo, which he captured from the
Spaniards and in few weeks the. Isla
de Luzon and the Isla de Cuba, which
he raised and sent to Hong Kong. will
be manned by the crews sent out on the
Buffalo. " a
He alsoshas the captured gunboats
Leyte and Mindanao, awaiting crews,
and when the Machias, the Castine and
the Bennington join him he will have
80 vessels under his command, not
counting the Oregon and the Iris, which
will soon be at Honolulu, awaiting or
ders to go to his support. Such a large
fleet has never in times of peace been
under the command of single Amer
lean officer, but the department has
such confidence in the admiral's judy
ment that it will not hesitate to send
him any reinforcements that he de-
mands.
In his dispatch, Admiral Dewey calls
for large quantities of plug tobacco,
soap and American food. His demand
for more plug tobacco is explained in
letters which recently reached Washing
ton from officers of the fleet, telling how
tired the men are of Philippine cigars
and how they miss their sweetened navy
plug and their clay pipes. To carry
these needed supplies, the department
has decided to fit up the auxiliary cruiser
Yankee, or hcr sister ship, the Prairie,
and load them full of necessaries, send
ing them to Manila by way of the Suez
canal. These vessels are now at League
island, but one of them can be sent
around to New York and made ready to
start in the next two weeks.

MUCH RETICENCE.
War Department Not Giving Out Its
IIoilo Information.

War Department Not Giving Out Its
IIoilo Information.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-A great deal
of reticence is exhibited at the war de-
partment relative to the state of affairs
at Iloilo 1t is admitted that General
Otis has reported to the department the
facts that were reported to him in turn
by General Miller, but all that can be
gathered as to the nature of the COM
munication is that it goes to confirm the
press reports as to the attitude of the
insurgents. There are excellent reasons
why the officials at the war department
should at this stage maintain secrecy
as to the instructions governing the
movement of troops in the Philip
pines. The situation is admitted
to be critical, but not hopeless by
any means, and it is extremely
desirable that the danger Of a rupture
shall not be increased by infammatory
publications, which powerfully effect
the excitable Filipinos. 1t is believed
that General Otis is framing plan of
campaign which will result in the ex-
tension of his control over the island of
Panay at least without actual hostilities,
or if it must come to warfare, then with
the least possible exposure of the Amer
lean troops. Probably the first step in
this campaign has been taken by this
time in the establishment of camp on
the plains of Guiamaras, lying only
few miles from noilo and easily accessi-
BILE to the warships. This probably will
be made the base of operations if hostil-
tiles became unavoidable. The govern
ment, however, has not abandoned hope
that a peaceful solution can be reached.
Not Shot Has Been Fired.
The governments instructions to Gen
eral Miller at Iloilo were to land and get
in communication with the insurgents.
This is as far as his orders have gone,
except that when he has established
communication with the insurgent off,
Gals and people, he is to make public
the purposes of the United States.
Not shot is to be fired by the forces
Of this country unless they are attacked,
or until further orders are given from
here. The programme was agreed upon
between President Mckinley and Secre-
tary Alger several days ago. Secretary
Alger was at the White House for some
time this afternoon. He stated in the
most emphatic terms that no alarming
news had come from General Otis, and
that he did not believe a shot had
been fired SO far or that one
would be fred. He is confident
that General Miller will be able to
handle the situation successfully, and
obtain control of noilo without blood
shed. He is of opinion that the insur-
gents have so long been imposed upon
that they are naturally suspicious and
fear the worst if they surrender the
strongholds into the hands of the United
States.
The policy to be adopted now is a gem
: tie one. Persuasion will be used before
powder. That will be the. last resort,
and Secretary Alger is optimistic in his
views that it will never be necessary.

CHICAGO, JAM 9.-The Chronicle
SAYS: The dream of George NJ. Pull

fenced-in model town of Pullman is to-.
become free community. The anomaly
of a city within a city is at an end. The
Pullman Palace Car company has ac-
cepted the decision of the supreme court
of Illinois sustaining the contention of
Attorney General Maurice T. Maloney.
The Pullman company has instructed
its attorneys to close the suit, The terms
of the decree are now being prepared.
The decree will divorce the great COR
poration, from everything save
the business for which it was
incorporated. Thus will end as
feudal Institution the town of
Pullman. It's churches and schools,
its hotel, its magnificent arcade hall, the
market house, the public library and
1900 brick residences will be sold to the
highest bidders. The Pullman Iron and
Steel company will be reorganlzed. The
brick works will pass from the control
of the company.
The streets of Pullman will be given
over to the authorities of the city of
Chicago, and the waterworks also will
pass into the control of the city. Pull
man will cease to be hedged-in munich

the scheme of disposing of the vast and
multiplied interests of the company,
that the supreme court has declared
must be abandoned, preference will be
given to the employees to purchase the
house,, they now OCCUPY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-E. A. Nose
ley, secretary of the interstate COM
merce commission, was a witness before
the federal industrial commission,
speaking on the transportation syllabus
of the industrial investigation. He cited
the difficulty in proving blacklisting
system. explaining that many railroads
after the Debs strike had freely given
letters of recommendation to former
employees, but phrased them so as to
notify sympathizing companies that the
recommended men had been blacklisted.
He recommended legislation prohibiting
the courts from attempting to enforce
personal performance of labor contracts
by mandatory process, citing an in
stance from the Ann Arbor road, where
Lennon, an engineer, had been fined and
imprisoned for refusing to take out his
locomotive after the court had ordered
him to return to work, the judge hav-
ing been transported in a private car
and issued his injunction in the COM
pany's Office. He referred to the fact
that the safety appliance act passed IN
1893 did not go into effect until 1898, and
that all but about 30 of the roads had
installed the master car builders coup
ler He referred to the railroad man as
not only an employee, but in measure
public servant, and declared that q rail
road strike here, if large enough, might
starve an entire section of the country.
