10 Admiral Dewey during the Manila
campaign. who has been m with ~.
phoid fever for several weeks, died at
Garfield hospital shortly after six
o'clock last evening.
The death Of Lieutenant Brumby,
while not unexpected, was great
shock to Admiral Dewey. The rcla-
tous Of the two for several years past
have been very intimate, and a strong
friendship has grown up between
them.
Lieutenant Brumby went out TO the
Asiatic station with the admiral. and
had been there with him until they
both returned TO the United States.
In his capacity as flag lieutenant Lieu.
tenant Brumby was thrown with Dew.
ey practically all the time, and acted
as his personal re preventative In many
matters Of detail delegated TO him by
the commanding officer. lie was re-
earied by Admiral Dewey as a bright,
enerjetic and capable assistant, while
the devotion Of the latter TO the nd.
miral was something marvellous. The
burdsn OF his thoughts during the lat.
tcr days Of his illness, when his mind
was wrecked with delerium, seemed TO
be regarding his work for the admiral.

Washington Dee. l7.-Isolated bands
OF bushwhaclsing insurgents who are
caught by our forces In the Philippines
are likely to be summarily dealt with.
At recent cabinet meeting the matter
was discussed at some length, and II
was the general sentiment that the
situation demanded vigorous treat

up a show OF an army under sem.

as prisoners Of war when captured, but
when they degenerate into isolated

II is the Judgment Of tho officers In

president and members OF tho cabinet,
that tho situation demands summary
action
