who sent his most trusted lieutenant
to Holland to win them back, but in
vain. The formal resignation of Mr.. and
Mrs. Booth-C -Clibborn reached the Lon

last Sunday. The leaders of the army
say that their secession from the army
will not cause a serious split in that
body, as hardly any Salvationists are

MAFlA. Syria July 3.-At the foot
of Mount Carmel, at one of the most

a colony OF Germans from Wurtem-

So They have taken up 800 acres
OF land, have erected comfortable
houses OF modern architecture and

vineyards. set out olive, fig and other
fruit-bearing trees, and have titled the
fertile plains around them in an intel

of using brains and modern imple-

people cannot be entirely lost upon

DEWEY DID NOT RECOGNIZE
THE FILIPINO REPUBLIC

The testimony of Admiral Dewey
before the senate committee to the eff
feet that he never recognized the Fill
pino government after the destruction
of the Spanish fleet in Manila bay.
confirms the general impression of in
teIligent Americans upon this sub
iect
The allegation that Admiral Dewey
had formally recognized the independ-
ence or existence of such thing as
a philippine Republic" has been the
basis of persistent claims of bad faith
by this government made by those
who have been interested in discredit-
ing our national policy in the Phil
ppines. II any uncertainty existed as
to our promises or pledges to the FIJI
ipinos. 1t should be entirely removed
by the statements OF Admiral Dewey,
whose testimony will be accepted as
final by the American people.
The admiral declares that he never
by any word or act recognized a Fill
pino government; that Aguinaldo gave
no intimation that he was seeking the
independence of the Filipinos; that
his first suggestion that the Filipinos
sought separate government was on
July 10, when he received notice from
Aguinaldo that he attached so little
Importance to this notice from Agui.
naldo and his republic that he did not
cable it to Washington but sent it by
mail
As to the assistance Of Aguinaldo,
the admiral frankly confessed that he
committed a blunder in accepting it.
and that If his foresight had been as
good his hindsight he would not have
done so. He had been informed a
month before the battle of Manila by
Consul General Pratt that Aguinaldo
was at Singapore and desired to join
the American fleet at Hong Kong. The
admiral. however, deemed the message
of so slight consequence that he sailed
without Aguinaldo and before he ar
rived.
What the admiral said concerning
the consul general at Singapore and
his various letters to the admiral, as
suming to direct his operations, that
he was busy-body and lacked intel
ligent comprehension of the situation
also confirms the general American
impression of that official
