By far the best assurance Of good busi-

steel workers generally, 10 per cent, and
tin plate and sheet workers from to
10 per cent, and of coal miners in some

which most establishments will follow
which have reduced wages in past years

shows no signs OF decrease, and for the

per cent greater than in the same week
of last year and 6O.9 per cent greater than

Department Believes lie contemplate
No such Aetion-Nearly All the Im-
portant Ports Have Been occupfed--
Navy Expected to Cooperate with
Otis.
Washington, March 10.--It can be stated
on authority that Admiral Dewey win
not be relieved at Manila until he chooses
to make application for such relief. So
far he has not given any intiDation Of
purpose to apply for relief in the immsdi-
ate future and the department has every
eason to believe that he does not contem-
plate any such action.
Consequently there is no foundation for
the story that Admiral Schley or any
other admiral has been selected to take
command of the Asiatio station. So far
as the navy department Is concerned the
directing officials are not only willing but
anxious that Dewey shall complete his
task and they depre cate the circulation OF
such stories as those alleging that he Is to
be relieved, for the reason that the i'm
preston might be conveyed to the Ad-
miral that the department would like to
/
Deweys punctilious feeling the mere
suggestion If he had the slightest reason
to believe it had an official foundation,
would be sufficient to induce him to apply
Immediately for relief rather than to em-
barrass the department AS Dewey HIM
/ self fixed the limitation OF his stay by the
length of the task before him, 1t may be
a matter OF interest to record the belief Of
many naval officers that after all the
| Ia aIv In airhf la H.
lisbed himself In Manila, he has assisted
in the taking of noilo, he has sent forces
to Cebu in connection with the army,
also to Negroes, the principal ports Of the
Philippines have all been taken over into
American possession In large part through
his cooperation with the army.
There remain only few ports OF i'm
portance, notably Zam boango or Min
| danao and perhaps one of the towns in
the Sulu archipelago to be occupied.
Expeditions are now moving in these
directions and that branch of the work
will soon De closed up. There will remain
only two more phases of the cam paign to
require Dewey's assistance. First, and
near at hand, is the driving of Of the
Tagalos under Aguinaldo near Manila
| With Lawton landing this morning at
| Manila with his reinforcements and the
other reinforcements expected soon. Gen.
Ots's movements in force Is near at
| hand. The navy will aid in this. Ships
can be placed in proper positions on the
shore OF the bay of Manila To command
the country for miles and by cooperation
with the army through the agency Of the
signal corps, the Insurgents can be shelled
out of the 9ungles many miles inland by
the warships.
The next and last feature OF Dewey's
task will be the establishment OF a CLOSE
blockade to prevent munitions Of supplies
/ from reaching the Insurgents, providing
there are any insurgents remaining after
Otis and Lswton have made their forward
movement When this has been done,
when there is nothing further In the way
of fighting for the warships to DO, it Is
believed that then Dewey task probably
will be- regarded as finished by himself
and it will be- time for the navy depart
ment to consider the question Of a success
