TISSUE OR PALSEHOODS,
Dewey Denies Alexan-
drino Story.
Alleged Letter Received By Senator
PettigreW
From Filipino Insurgent
General.
Dewey Says He Never Heard of
PettigreW's Friend.

Washington, July 23.-The letter re-
ceiyed by Senator Pettigrew from one of
Aguinaldo's generals, Alexandrino, con-
tanning an alleged account of an inter-
view between himself and Admiral
Dewey on board the Olympia In the Bay
OF Hong Kong in April, 1898, in which it
is stated Admiral Dewey promised indie
pendence to the Filipinos was shown to
the Admiral today by an Associated Press
reporter. The Admiral characterized it
as tissue of falsehoods." He declared
it absurd on its face. 81 not only had
no power to promise independence to the
Fllipinos,' said he, ''but the whole tenor
of the words put in my mouth stamps
them as false. am made to say things
which I never Thought of and which /
could never have uttered, You viii no
t1ce that I am addressed in the alleged
interview as Admiral when at the time,
was a Commodore -
The Admiral said he had never heard
OF. Alexandrino. Several Filipinos after
much importuning did come aboard the
Olympia at Hong Kong. They were anx-
ious to be taken to Manila. 81 consid-
cred their representations of little inpor-
tance, - said the Admiral, and did not
take them to Manila. Later gave pre-
mission to Aguinaldo and about dozen
to come to Manila. All that they were
anxious about at that time was an end Of
the tyranny of Spain against which they
had been fighting. After the destruction
Of Montejo's fleet the city virtually sur
rendered and am satisfied that II we
had had 5000 troops at that time, we
could have gone ashore and have been re-
ceived by the Fil1pinos as deliverers.
They had absolutely no thought then of
independence. That was an afterthought
of their leaders during the interim be-
tween the smashing of the Spanish fleet
and the arrival of the United States
troops"
Speaking of the report that Cuba was
to be evacuated by the American troops
after the holding of the constitutional
convention, Admiral Dewey said he did
not see how the United States could turn
over the island to the Cubans until
stable government had been established.
1--WE are responsible to the world for
the orderly conduct of affairs in Cuba, -
said he, and until such a government is
established I cannot see how we can
withdraw. We are confronted with
similar situation in the Philippines.
The world looks to US and no matter
which political party wins in November,
the United States cannot relinquish the
islands until responsible and stable
government is set up there"

placed within.
AS soon as the warm days come there
is more food crowded into an ice chest
than during cold weather, when cooked
food may be kept in the pantry or store
closets The limits are there foretaxed
to the utmost and it is not an easy mat

must be done and even the best of

reminded that this is an imp ortant item
