THE DEWEY DISPATCH
AUTHORSHIP OF THE DOCUMENT
is CLAIMED BY ADMIRAL .
OWNINSHlELD.
WAS AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Wrote the Order and Submitted It to
the President and Attorney General,
Who Made Slight Change in It and
Forwarded 1t to Mr.. Long-Latter
Signed 1t and Sent It to Honq
Kong.
Washington, July 9.-Rear Admiral
A. S. Crowninshield chief of the bu-
reau of navigation, has issued a for
NAL statement to the effect that he is
the author of the famous dispatch to
Admiral Dewey ordering him to pro-
ceed from Hong Kong to Manila and
there capture or destroy the Spanish
fleet. Admiral Crowninshield states
that he wrote the dispatch in the
White House and submitted it to both
Attorney General Grggs and the pres
ldent and that the only change made
in the dispatch as he wrote it was
the addition Of either the word cap
ture" or the word destroy"
The dispatch, according to Admiral
Crowninshield then was handed to
Lieutenant Whittlesley, who took it
to Secretary Long and after the latter
had signed it sent it to Admiral
Dewey.
In conclusion Admiral Crownin-
shield says that whatever credit
comes from having given the order
belongs to the president and Secre-
tary Long.
Secretary Long said upon this sub
ject:
my recollection is entirely dis
tinct. Immediately upon the declara-
tion had conferred with the president
about an order to Dewey to
Attack the Spanish Fleet at Manila.
"On Sunday morning, April "a.
went to the White House. sat with the
president on a sofa in the corridor
and earnestly advised the sending of
such an order. But for Admiral
Crowninshield's statement l should
have said unhesitatingly that | had
with me the dispatch which had been
prepared in his bureau of navigation.
and that, the president approving, I
returned to the navy department and
sent it in to the bureau of navigation
to be put in cipher.
Il then went out to drive. AS l
drove out between II and 12 O'Clock |
remember Of passing Admiral Crown
1nshield AS to what passed later at
the White House at the meeting which
he describes, |, Of course, have no
knowledge.
1T seems to me probable that the
president, after his interview with me-
sent for some members of the cabinet
and Admiral Crowninshield 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 get away from Hong Kong"

| Newport, r. l., July 9.-If the VIC
tory of Constitution over Columbia
and independence in the first of the
three-cornered races on Saturday was
significant and definite, her winnn,
OF the second may we'll be character
lied as overwhelming and the defeat
OF the independence as positive and
almost hopeless. The approach of

boat anchored far out in Narraganselt
bay, along with the catboat which
marked the other end of the finish
line, tediously waiting for the Boston
boat to cross while her rivals were
we'll up the harbor on the way to
their moorings. The new Herreshojf
boat had beaten the Columbia by near
ly half an hour over the 3O-mile
course, while the record against Inde.
pendence was over full hour. She
came near travelling around the tri-
angle while the Crowninshield crea-
tion was covering two legs of it. The
race established the new Bristol sloop
as record breaker in light airs She
has accomplished what yachtsmen
considered impossible in thus beat
ing the Columbia, while her perform
ance has put the independence entire

like those of this race. What her
showing may be in heavy water is
still matter of conjecture, as it g

perts are now almost ready to accept
any achievement of the Constitution
without question. OF the many races
IN connection with the Americas cup
this was the most remarkable. The

Sailed Faster Than the Wind.
The wind was light from southeast
when the start was made There was
considerable swell in the harbor. IT
was not an encouraging outlook gen.
orally, but the Constitution overcame
every obstacle In the way of flukes
and doldrums and sailing with tact
and skill won out at the first mark by
lO Minis, 81 Secs, over Columbia. At
the next leg, reach of 10 miles, with
only gentle zephyr blowing on the
starboard BEAM with every sail set
to catch whatever breeze might come
her way, she sailed faster than the
wind and by rare skill and ability
worked her way through what seemed
to be an inextricable group of human
lty, through the lazy ground sails and
temporary calm to another brilliant
achievement She rounded the lee
ward marks 8 Minis, AZ Secs. ahead
of Columbia. And then, scurrying fast
er than the wind, which never during
the race exceeded the force of a g.
knot air. she made the crowning
record of her history by sailing over
the 10 knots in 49 Minis, 46 secs. Then
came the cheering and salutes of ac-
claim from whistles and sirens in
honor of the greatest boat that ever
sailed fast light weather sail.

captains are misanthrOpic and object to
celebrating the new year in port, but
that local tax will have to be paid on
, all sugar which is on the Islands on Jan

of this that the vessels with their sugar
cargoes are sent to sea just before the
new year, as no tax can be levied when
the vessel is out of port.
Among the vessels which are to follow
this scheme are the Coronado, the Arch

The well known yellow covered quaran-

morning when the Nippon Maru arrived,

into the exhaust tubes, and az conse-
quence the pumps refused to work ne

to allow the workingmen to set at the |

Vessels Reported Off the Group.

Captain Gregory of the steamer Mika-
yesterday morning, reports that on Mon
day the Mikahala sighted a four masted
schooner standing off south of Eleele.
Although the distance prevented the Mi
kahala from making out the identity Of
the vessel, there can hardly be any doubt
but that she is either the Churchill or
the Robert Searles. which are now both
due at Eleele. the Scales being eighty
days out and the Churchill sixty. Both
vessels are coal laden from Newcastle.
The schooner was sighted again on Tues
day morning, and was then in almost the
same position that which she occupied
on the day before. The vessel was prob
ably keeping off shore on account of the
heavy wind and seas.

TEN YEARS ABSENCE
FROM GAY OLD BUTTE

why shouldn't a man who has been
away from the city for ten years cele-
brate his return among his friends by
taking on good sized jag?" Such was
the query little John Murray made to
Police Judge Boyle this morning when
he appeared on charge of disturbance.
Sure" said Murray, II was drunk. But
why shouldn't be? This is the first
time I have had an opportunity to look
at the faces of my dear Montana friends

fore your honor only last week on a
charge Of drunkenness: that was cele-
braton of the glorious Fourth, Mr.. Boyle,
and this is the wind up. If you will be
easy with me I'll cut it out for keeps,
now. l don't stay drunk all the time,
your honor. Only on such an occasion,
I just had to. When say that I'll for
get it I'll do so. sure. My name Is MUIR

For Murray's pains and long Grafton
he suffered the fate of the ordinary dis
turber and was assessed SO. Murray
thanked the judge, but no one knew
why.

Judge POyle in SO far as the sentence
is concerned. Halthusan pleaded guilty
to the charge, but stated that the gun
was not loaded and that he had no
cartridges in his pockets at the time of
his arrest. He claimed that he had used
the gun on the Fourth of July to cele-
.brate and was returning it to it's owner
when arrested for being drunk.
James Mccarthy. Thomas Ash, Mamie
Supernaut were assessed IS each on
charges of imbibing too freely in the hop
juice, while John Murphy and Timothy
Murphy, arrested for creating a dis
turbance on South Arizona street, were
fined the usual sum of $40.
Thomas Ryan and Edward Harrington,
arrested yesterday for stealing a case

store, pleaded guilty to the charge. They
were fined $25 and costs. Another in
dividual made his appearance under the
name of John Murphy. He together with
Frank Kelly and Frank McKeg were up

were given sixty days each in the coun-
ty Jail, while McKeg was discharged.
Murphy and Kelly were given tie pass
