Stories About Captain McGowan and
Commander Very.
Boston, Mass, Especial. "A letter re.
ceiyed from naval officer at Manila, dated
December II, says that two scandals In the
United States squadron are causing general
talk. One Is the shooting OF a Filipino on
board the Monadnock by Captain McGowan,
because the man climbed over the side OF
the vessel forward instead OF aft, as de.

man and scare him, but he was hit in the
hip, and died soon afterwards.

that Commander s. W. Very, OF the Castine,
up to the present time, has had every officer
on the vessel, with one exception, under sus-
pension, and one OF them has objected.

bate on May 20: Senator Spooner

best debaters who ever showed their

Spooner has brought to bear is al
together new to the public, as some
of those who essayed to enter the
lists with him today found to thei1
cost.
One after another Of the enemies
of the administration plunged into
the debate with the little giant from
Wisconsin, but each was promptly
f1oored. Pettigrew Jared the worst.
His attempts to meet Spooner ar
ray of arguments we're pitifull, adj
every time he projected himself into
the discussion Spooner charged
upon him mercilessly and yet gooe
naturedly. He led the South Da
kota defender Of Aguinaldo skill
fully on to make assertions and de
mails, and when he had got him alb
solptely committed to an untenabl,
proposition, he you'd fall upon hin
with a force which was simply ire
sistible and which kept the gallery il
constant roar Of applause. Pettgrey
studied law in the office fSpooner'

the course of the debate until Spoon
CT squelched him with the retort:
