MANILA ANNIVERSARY.
DEWEY AND HIS OFFICERS MET AT
BANQUET TABLES.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The third an
niversary of the battle of Manila bay was
celebrated here tonight at a banquet at
the Raleigh hotel, participated in by
officers of the American fleet who took
part in the conflict These numbered
about twenty-five persons, less than one
fourth of those who were in the battle.
The greater number of them came from
stations along the Atlantic coast from
Portsmouth, n. H.. to Norfolk, Va The
floral decorations were unusually attrac-
tive, but four large Amer.cEn flags with
the American eagle and shield as a CEN
ter piece were the features of the decora-
tions. The picture on an elaborate menu
card gave water color picture represent
ing the fleet as it entered the harbor Of
Manila under fire Of the Spanish forts
and ships, the whole surrounded b.
band of Manila hemp. IN the lower por-
ton of the picture, in semi-circular form,
were the words of the command given by
Admiral Dewey to his captain when the
battle began: you may fire when you
are ready, Gridley." There were 10 fo~-
NAL toasts or speeches. The taK was
reminiscent. Those who sat down to tho
dinner included: Admiral Dewey, Capt.
Wilde, who commanded the Boston; Capt.

Case of Convicted Criminal Before
the Courts Nine Years.
WASHINGTON, May l.-Suggestions in
printed form today were filed in the
United States supreme court by counsel
on both sides in the case of Charles w.
Nordstrom, the criminal from the state
of Washington, whose case has become
famous by reason of his execution having
been delayed for nine years since his
original sentence for murder On behalf
of Norstrom, Hon. James Hamilton Lewis
filed his objections to the motion made by
Attorney Fulton, of the state of Wash
tngton, for the dismissal of the case ~as
brought to the court on motion of a writ
of error from the supreme court Of
Washington. Mr. Lewis says in this mo-
tion he has only had three days notice
Of the case. He also alleges discrepancies
of the record. Replying, Mr.. Fulton said
he had no knowledge that this case was
on the supreme court docket until he
reached this city few days ago, and as
serting that the questions involved ara
the same as in the Nordstrom proceed
ings brought here from the federal court
in which he says fifty days notice was
given, he contends that the objection is
for the purpose of delaying only. He
makes the same point in reference to Mr.
Lewis criticism of Hhe record and asserts
that by these tactics q perversion of
justice is being accomplished.

DAMAGING EVIDENCE.
EXPERT TESTIMONY IN THE EAST
MAN TRIAL.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 1.-The gov
ernment's case against Charles R. East
man, the Harvard instructor, charged
with the murder of his brother-in-law,
Richard H. Grogan, Jr., is all but fin
ished. The prosecution scored repeated
ly today, especially when the defense
voluntarily admitted that the bullet
which has been frequently produced dur
ing the trial. and which the government
claimed was taken from Grogans body,
was fired from a modern Smith & Wes-
son center fire revolver of the same pat
tern as those used by Eastman and
Grogan in their target shooting. The
government also showed that the revolV-
er which discharged the fatal bullet must
have been at least six feet from Grogan
when it went off.
Eastman in his numerous statements
claimed that the bullet was fired from an
cid rim fire revolver. 1t was evident from
the cross-examination that the defense
will endeavor to show that the bullet
which had frequently been shown to the
jury was not the one which killed Grogan.
The testimony today was almost
wholly confined to expert testimony on
revolvers and cartridges, and there was
no attempt by the goveIs@5nt to show
any additional evidence as to the ill-feeI-
ing between the men.

The generals are convinced that 1900 men
at Pekin, 1900 at Shanghai Kwan and

to compel China to accept the demand

Count Won Waldersee and party of

the great wall and the Ming tombs.
STATUS OF YANKEE TROOPS.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The legation
guard at the American legation at Pekin
will not be subjected to the order of anv
foreign general. Official reports of the
latest phases of the negotiations at Pekin
as given in the press dispatches, have
not reached Washington, and it is sug-
gested as a possibility that the demands
of the generals are not unqualified. Still
if it is the Americai legation guard will
retain it's independence even if it is nee
essary to that end to remove it from
Pekin and from China. The latter course
might become necessary in case one of
the powers formally declared war on
China and exercises it's right to cause
the withdrawal of all neutral forces. but
under existing conditions the guard prob
ably will remain.
Germany was one of the powers that
subscribed heartily TO the suggestion of
the United States that no nation make
private arrangements with China for the
enlargement or acquisition of concessions
so the officials here are surprised to learn
that the Germans have taken steps to
acquire a concession{ at Canton 1t is be-
lieved here that it was without doubt
the insistence by the United States upon
the force of this Argument that check
mated Russia's designs upon Manchuria
for the time being.
