be fired. So that 1 had to fire and kill
few people, but the Spaniards did not fire,
because of my warming that it would be
disastrous to the city for them to do So
They had in the city 1900 troops and
forty-seyen rifled guns"
Admiral Dewey added that he was pleased
to supply the committee with this history
1t had, he said, never been printed, and he
had been reservng it with the view of
writing the story himself
He said in reply to other questions that
he did not believe the Filipnos could have
taken the city unaided, but he admitted that
the Spanish forces were greatly demoral-
iZed.
The cross-examination was conducted by
Senators Patterson and Carmack
Foolish Letters From Pratt
In response to an inquiry from the former
Admiral Dewey said he had never received
from Consul General Pratt a letter noti-
flying him that he was to cooperate with
Aguinaldo. Il don't RENE mber,' he added
when l did first hear from Pratt. He
wrote me number of foolish letters about
that time" The admiral also referred to a
published statement to the effect that he
was to have acted with Aguinaido in his
operations, saving that this was written by
an unreliable person.
He addedsthat ssbefere turning over his
papers to the Navy Department, previous
to surrendering the command of the squad
ron, he had made copies of some of the
communications received.
But" he added, II did not copy any of
the communications from Pratt He didl't {
impress me. He seemed to be a sort o:
busybody, devoting much time to interfer-
ing with the business of other people,
Considered Filipinos Ungrateful.
The admiral said that when Aguinaldo
was at the height of his power the British
admiral (Seymour) had advised the Filipino
chief to tie to the Americans, as they were
his best friends. He said that when he let
the Filipinos have guns and ammunition
he thought it was a military necessity.
Looking backward he could see that they
were not needed. He considered them very
ungratefu in turning against the United
States. The admiral said he and not the
Filipinos had captured Subig bay and he
had taken possession because a German
man-of-war was preventing Aguinaldo
from passing.
Admiral Dewey had not concluded when
the committee adjourned.

OFFICIAL CIRCLES PLEASED.
Improvement in King Edwards Condi-
ton Source of Satisfaction.

LONDON, June 26.-king Edwards prog
ress in convalescence occasions the great
est satisfaction in all official circles.
His majesty already is displaying the great
est interest in all public questions and is ex-
pressing his gratitude over the evidences
of the worlds solicitude by opening num-
Der of kilograms with his own hands, as
reported in these dspa tches last night.
This action excited him slightly, caused
some restlessness during the night, and
aroused some trifiing solicitude on the part
of the attendant doctors
All this really was unimportant, as his
majesty soon quieted down, and, on the
whole, rested satisfactorily.
Improvement in the kings condition this
morning was most marked. Everybody m
Buckingham Palace is delighted, and high
hopes are entertained that his convalesence
will be much more speedy even than was
expected last night.
No Suggestion of Regency.
At no time has there been any serious
suggestion Of the establishment of a re-
gency. The most that was done was in the
way of pure speculation-a suggestion that
the Prince of Wales might act for his
father, as King Edward Ghen Prince of
Wales) frequently did for Queen Victoria
in former days, and particularly, during
her last illness, but without his having
! formally been appointed regent.
The good news given out by the Duke of
Connaught at Buckingham Palace before
the doctors morning consultation, and
which the subsequent official bulletin COM
pletely confirmed, occasioned the Hveliest
satisfaction to all persons collected at the
palace, the Mansion House and elsewhere
awaiting tidings from the sick chamber
The absence of ambiguity in the language
of the medical bulletin, which, unlike pre-
vious statements, has no qualifying
phrases, has done much to restore conf
dence in the public mind in regard to the
outcome of the kings Illness

THE EXODUS FROM LONDON.
All Means of Transportation Taxed to
Their Utmost.

LONDON, June 26.-Only today is Lon
don beginning to realize the practical ef-
fects Of the coronation postponement. The
exodus of visitors to the continent and the
provinces is taxing the capacity of the
railroads and steamboats,. This return
traffic, however, nowise makes up the rail-
road lines loss of hundreds Of thousands
of passengers from the provinces and near
er continental points who had delayed their
coming to the last moment. The big tour
ist agencies were crowded all day booking
the cheaper class Of ''trippers,'' for whom
London minus the coronation had no at
traction. How much London's floating pop
ulation has been reduced during the past
twentyfour hours it is hard to estimate
All persons of moderate means who can
go away are getting out of the CITY as
quickly as possible. The smaller hotels and
boarding houses are the worst sufferers
The big hotels declare they have been all
most unaffected by the postponement of the
kings crowning. the wealthier Americans
and others who had come to witness the
coronation making no move to go, though
the next fortnight. doubtless, will witness a
general migration to the continent and
Scotland The transatlantic booking offices
are flooded with inquiries for early pas
sages by Americans for whom the corona
tion was the sole object of their visit to
England.
The Crowds on the Streets.
The streets of the city today contained a
curious mixture of Sunday and holiday
crowds. All the banks and big business
houses in the heart of the city were shut
up. Most of the retailers were open and
the saloons and restaurants of the cheaper
sort did fairly rushing business. Many
of the usual bean feaster'' class got out
early on brakes and coaches, with horns
and banners. singing God Save the King"
and presenting every evidence of mingled
patriotism and beer.
Most of the railroads Cancelled their cx-
cursions, SO the great bulk of the bank
holiday makers was thrown back on the
streets for amusement and crowded the
Strand, Holborn and the city parks. The
motley swarm was reminiscent Of Hamp-
stead Heath, or OF the crowds outside O
circus tent. But 1t was an aimless, dis
consulate crowd of holiday makers, the
kind of a crowd which is created by any
cause for celebration, and it drifted slowly
back and forth, looking at the remaining
decorations. clustering around the bulletin
boards and in some cases invading those

VIEWS OF DIR. J. B. MURPHY.
Dean of. Rush Medical College on
Kings Condition.

NEW YORK, June 26.-Dr. John B. Muir
ply of Chicago, dean of the faculty of Rush
Medical College, has telegraphed to the
New York Medical Journal the following
statement regarding King Edward:
THE official bulletins very vague and
indefinite, as the doctors do not state
whether the perityphlitic abscess was due
to appendicitis. carcuinna or perforatlng
ulcer They infer that it was appendicitis,
but the clinical course for five days. pre-
ceding the operation does not correspond
with that Inference. If it be an appenolcai
peritpyhitis opened and drained with no
attempt at removal, allowing for his age
chances of recovery, allowing for his age
and mode of living, should be 81 per cent
Even if he has gangrene of a small area
of the caecum from a periaphendcal ab-
scess. his chances of recovery should be
% unless the infection be very vlrulent;
one would infer from the mild symptoms
the day previous to the operation that II
was not violent.
IF the perityphlitic abscess be from
perforating ulcer of the caecum, the prog
nosis Is more grave, for these perforat1ng
ulcers are grave in themselves, particularly
the tubercular. If the perforatlon occurreo
through malignant ulcer his chances OF
recovery would be very meager, as re-
section of the caput-coli would be demand
ed. This is such a long and grave opera
tion that he could scarcely Withstand, as IL
u,ou1d involve an immediate risk of 40 to 40

Probably of Appendical Origin.

."The assumption that the abcess is or
annendical origin is the most logical from
his symptoms of pain and syncope on the
fifth or sixth day preceding the operation.
There was every reason for his physicians
Withholding from the public as long as pos
sible If the diagnosis of appendicitis had
been made early It Is probable the opera
ton would have been performed imme-
diately, as the consensus of opinion of the
American medical and surgical profession
is that the immediate operaton-i. e., the
operation within the first twenty-fOur hours
after the inset of symptoms-gives the best
results and subjects the patients to the
least risk. There is unanimity of opinion in
the profession that no one, no matter how
familiar with the disease, is able to pre-
dict from the early symptoms what will be
the subsequent course of the disease. 1t
is therefore incumbent upon the profession
to operate early to avoid the proba bility Of
later and most dangerous pathologic con-
ditions. Medical treatment is uncertain,
inefficient and hazardous, and thousands of
lives have been sacrificed by this method
of treatment. In Chicago alone in the last
three years there have been 752 deaths
from appendicitis. What a colossal crime,
What an indulgent and forbearing public
to tolerate such results from the medical
profession. On this basis there should be
no perityphlitis of appendical origin, as all
would be operated on before that stage"

Henshall's NO More" and still further
won the hearts of her many hearers by
the sweetness of her voice in a spirited
encore.
Mrs. Charles Bartlett Dyke pursued
an unexpected vein in her delightful
handling of Imaginary Companions"
1t seems a pity that more of the sub
jects treated at the Art League cannot
find their way into print for public
service still further. but as this was
much in the nature Of talk, its charm
could hardly be conveyed in manu-
script.
Mrs. Dyke entered in most sane
and healthful manner the broad sub
ject which leads out to the underlined
region of Imagination and psychic phe-
nomena, and touched very responsive
chord in her allusion to the remarkable
fancies of childhood. The subject was
continued upon the lips of many as
they gathered about the tea table, and
fingered long in the enjoyment of the
sociability which followed the address.
The society is certainly very much in
debted to Mrs. Selma Kinney, who is
retiring from the leadership of the Lit
erary Circle after two years Of very
efficient service, which have been high
ly appreciated. The president called
attention to the fact that the annual
meeting for the election of officers and
members would very soon be called,
and desired that those having friends
to propose for membership would hand
their names in as soon as possible. This
month of October is the opening of the
Art League year, and the secretary is
at the rooms on Tuesday and Friday
afternoons from three until half past
four, at which time any information
may be gained and the annual dues re-
ceipted for.
The eighteenth semi-annual pictorial
exhibition is expected to take place
next month, and those contributing are
warned that there are but five or six
weeks in which to prepare their work.

said to young Lucas that they should
go back. The boy assented but insist
ed on coming in on a roller that was
sweeping swiftly towards them. AS
they turned the heavy roller struck the
boat, overturning it before either had
an opportunity to prepare himself for
| it. When the native arose to the sur
face he looked about, and saw his COM
panion struggling. Both started to
swim but a choppy wave came and
struck them and both went under a
second time. The native shouted to
Lucas to lookout for the next one and
to dive under it for this would carry
them towards the shore.
| Both were good swimmers but few
minutes in the angry surf weakened
the native and Lucas seemed to be
struggling to keep up. When the roller
came the native dived. He felt Lucas
to the bottom where he was damned
against sharp pieces Of coral. His
clothes caught upon a piece and he
struggled to free himself. How long
he was under water almost a prisoner
he does not know for after tearing HIM
self from the rocks he came to the sur
face only to become inert. When he
again opened his eyes it was upon the
beach in the presence of his rescuers.
After Lucas feet struck him In the
back he never again saw the lad
The wireless telegraph message sent
to Mrs. Lucas reached her at Kailua
from which place she will again board
the Mauna Loa today, reaching Homo
lulu tomorrow.
James Lucas was about seventeen
years of age and at the time of his
death was student at the High School
where he was a favorite with both
sexes. Like all island boys he was fond
of the water and was reckoned a good
swimmer and one who understood the
handling of boats The tragedy of Sat |
urday came through an oyer-fondness
for surfing and his not realizing at the |
time he went out into the breakers that
the sea was unusually high and rough |
even for that section of the shore line. |
