dispatch as originally written by me
contained but one Of these words, but
which one do not recall.
Il then went to the navy depart
ment, handed the dispatch to Lieuten'
ant Whttlesey and directed him to put
it in cipher. Lieutenant Whittlesey re-
ported to me the same evening that the
secretary had signed the dispatch and
that it had been sent"
Secretary Long said upon this sub
ject:
"AIy recollection is entirely distinct.
Immediately upon declaration of war
l had conferred with the president
about an order to Dewey to attack the
Spanish feet at Manila.
ION Saturday morning, April "A, |
went to the White House, sat with the
president on sofa in the corridor and
earnestly advised the sending of such
an order. But for Rear Admiral
Crowninshield's statement l should
have said unhesitatingly that l had
with me the dispatch which had been
prepared in the bureau of navigation
and that, the president approving, | re-
turned to the navy department and
sent it in to the bureau of navigation to
be put in cipher.

the White House at the meeting which
he describes of course have no knowl-
edge. 1t seems to me probable that the
president, after his interview with me,
sent for some Of the cabinet and Rear
Admiral CroWninshiold and took up
the dispatch which, according to my
recollection. had already been pre-.
pared and gave it final consideration
Probably, also, there had then come in
Dewey's dispatch of the day before
advising us that he had been ordered
to set away from HongkonS."
One of the strangest things in the
whole discussion is that nobody con.
cerned, except Admiral Crowninshield,
had Il distinct recollection of any dis
patch from Admiral Dewey received
on April p, 1885, saying that he had
been requested by the governor Of
Hongkong to leave that port within 4S
hours and asking for instructions.
Secretary Long could not recall any
such message, and he looked for it in
vain the other day in the printed vol
ume Of war dispatches entitled GAP.
per2:A to the Report of the Chief Of
the Bureau Of Navigation" A search
Of the official files was made, however,
and the original Of the dispatch to
which Admiral Crowninshield refers in
his statement was discovered. Through
an oversight it was not included in the
appendix" and has never been printed.

torney General GriGgs.
In view Of the controversy over the
authorship of the instructions to Adj
miral Dewey when he went to Manila,
started by Secretary Longs remark
at the recent outing of the Nlassachu-
sets club at Nantucket that he did not
know who wrote the dispatch, led Ad-
quest of New York Sun reporter, to
issue statement the other day in
which he claims the credit. On April
"a, 1893, he says that lie was called
on at his house by Lieutenant Humes
H. Whittlesey of the bureau of navga-
ton, who brought dispatch from
Commodore Dewey to Secretary Long.
This dispatch said that the governor Of
HongkOng had notified Dewey that he
must leave that port within As hours.
Admiral CroWninshield continues:
"Deeming that it was of the greatest
Importance that a reply should be. sent
as soon as possible to Commodore
Dewey, l took the dispatch to the
president. The president then directed
me to go and find Mr.. Long, the secre-
tary of the navy, and Judge Day, the
secretary Of state, and bring them to
the White House. Upon returning to
the White House l was shown to the
western end of the upper corridor,
where the president was sitting with
the following persons: Secretary Day,
Attorney General Griggs, Senator Hale
and one other, possibly Secretary Bliss,
though l am not sure The late Sena-
tor Davis Joined the party later.
"a discussion of the dispatch from
Admiral Dewey and the reply which
should be sens him was taking place
when l arrived, and l took part for
several minutes. The president then
turned to Attorney General Griggs and
said. 'Griggs, you write a dispatch for
Dewey to proceed to Manila and attack

Griggs turned to me and said: CAPTAIN.

MUD SAVES LONDON LIVES.

Decreased in Seasons OF Filth.
In London it was noticed that when
the streets were muddy there was a
marked dimnution of diseases that
were prevalent when dust is blowing.
Bowel troubles are plentiful when peo-
Pile are compelled to inhale dust. Con
sumption, too, often gets its start from
dust. Other illnesses almost equally
grave follow from the breathing of fly
ing particles OF filth. Add sufficient
water to transform the dust into mud
and the power for harm is gone, for
mud is not inhaled. The germs that in
feet dry dust become inert in mud, be-
cause these germs. vicious as they are,
are too lazy TO 90 anywhere unless they
are carried Moreover, mud. is very
likely TO get ultimately into the drain
pipe. and the germs a.e carried Off
where they can do no aarm Even when
mud dries on the clothing and is brush
ed off the dust that arises therefr0m
does not appear TO be as dangerous as
that which has not been recently wet.
1t win thus be apparent that there is
a bright side 10 mud. and henceforth all
but the most faStidious will revel in
muddy streets. Many physicians may
advise their more weakly patients to 20
abroad in search of exercise only when
the roads are muddy. Rich men may
be looked for to have special mud plots
somewhere on their grounds, while san
itarjGms may be expected to advertise
that ak the walks about their buildings
are SO constantly attended to that mud

Mud baths have long been utilized and
mud would seem certain to become one
of the great curative agents of the near
future, Yet wise mcdicos are learning

ages to mothers of large families in
rural districts. where playing in the

childrens hcalthiest pastime.- Boston

Blue Eyes.

A clear. light blue color, with a calm.
steadfast glance, denotes cheerfulness,
good temper and constancy, but blue
eyes with a greenish tint are not so
strongly Indicative of these traits A
slight inclination to greenish tints in
eyes of any color is said to be a sign
of wisdom and courage. Pale blue or
steel-colored eyes, with shifting mo-
tions of eyelids and pupils. denote de-
ceitfulness and seltishness. Dark blue
or violet denote great affection and
purity but much intellectually.
