The cablegram from Admiral Dewey

The admiral. 1t is said, possibly feels
that the moral effect Of the presence of
the big ship upon the insurgents them
selves, and particularly upon that
large element of Filipinos that is be
lieved to be restrained with difficulty
from Joining fortunes with Aguinaldo,
with whom their sympathies lie, would
be good. .llft
But there is an underlying doubt
whether or not the admiral may not be
keenly sighting gathering cloud In
the East. and is looking to the preyen-
tion of any possible Intervention or in
reference by European powers in the
struggle now in progress in the neigh

The president then read letter from

which General Roget deposed that a

NJ. De Roulede and Habert, the gen
eral further deposed, questioned the
officers and refused to leave when re-
quested to do so. Therefore, they were
arrested and confessed they wished to
lead the troops into revolutionary
