DEWEY MAKES STATEMENT
Brings Out a Number Of Matters RELATIVE
to the Surrender Of the City Of Manila.
TELLS OF RELATIONS WITH AeUlNALDo
Put Him Ashore and Told Him to Or
ganiEe His People, but Filipino
Leader Made Failure at
the Beginning.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Admiral Dewey
made a statement before the senate COM
mittee on the Philippines this morning
concerning the early operations at Manila,
when he was in command Of the American
naval forces In Philippine waters. The ad-
miral's statement contributed an important
addition to the history Of the surrender OF
the city Of Manila. This consisted OF a
positive statement by the admiral to the
effect that the city had been surrendered
to him at the time that the Spanish fleet
vas sunk and that when the city did sur
render it was in pursuance Of a definite I'M
Outstanding between himself and the Span
ish governor general.
The admiral was questioned by Senator
Lodge. He said be had frs: heard from
Aguinaldo and his friends about April /.
1898. a month before the battle in Manila
bay, when it became certain that there was
to be war.
II then heard that there were a number
of F1lipincs who desired to accompany the
feet to Manila" he continued. "All Of
them we're young and earnest. / did not
attach much importance to them or to what
they said. The day before we left Hong
Kong / received a telegram from Consul
General Pratt, located at Singapore. saying
Indl AEulnhlQO was at clnkdpoTt anu Nbuiu
join me at Hong Kong. I replied all right;
tell him to come aboard but / attached SO
little Importance to the message that /
sailed without Aguinaldo and before he ar
rived. There were then many promises as
to what the Filipinos would do. but I dld
not depend upon them. Consul Williams
assured me that upon our arrival and the
firing Of the first gun $4,000 Filipinos would
rise. None did arise, and ! frequently
joked him on this point"
Admira Dewey said the Spanish gov
ernor wanted to surrender the city to him
after the destruction of the feet and that
he dewey would have accepted the formal
surrender II he had had 5000 troops to
garrison the city. He told about Agui-
naldo's arrival. saying that he put him
ashore and told him 10 organize his people.
Aguinaldo came back discouraged and
wanted to go to Japan, but the admiral told
him TO continue his efforts. The admiral
said he paid no attention to Aguinaldo's
first proclamation OF independence Of the
FiIipinos. Speaking Of Aguinaldo's military
operations. he said he did wonderfully in
whipping the Spanish.
Admiral Dewey said emphatically that he
never had recognized AguiRaldo's govern
ment, nor did he salute Aguinaldo's nag.
He never called Aguinaldo general" but
addressed him as Dom Emilio"
The sdmiral said he had never given the
Philippine republic the slightest recogni-
tion; that he had no authority TO do so. and
did not consider it al organized govern
ment. He said the Spanish were fearful
Of the FilipinOs entering Manila. and there
fore surrendered to him in advance. He
said there was no need for the loss OF a
man in the capture Of the city. No gun
would have been fired. but for the desire
Of the governor. who said his honor de-

FARMERS UP AGAINST TRUST
Confronted by Threshers Combine I'm
Dodge County, Who Price
Twenty Per Cent.

FREMONT, Neb.. June 2s.-(special)-
When the farmers OF this vicinity began to
make contracts for threshing their grain
recently they were much surprised to find
an advance Of about 20 per cent in the
charges made by the threshers. and II now
appears that there is a threshing combine
OF trust in this vicinity which is likely to
make the farmer pay more than usual to
get his grain ready for the market.
In April last a meeting was held here
which was attended By the principal own
ers Of threshing machines in this and ad-
Joining counties. at which II was decided
that on account Of the general advance in
the price Of machines. repairs. coal and
other things they decided to advance the
price. Committees were appointed and an
organization perfected. which is likely to be
a success. Last week another meeting was
he'd at Hooper. which was quite well at
tended.
Farmers are satisfied that q combine ex-
lists. including practically all the machine
owners in this vicinity and extending
throughout this entire portion Of the state.
and are contriving some means to get their
grain ready for market at the usual prices.
Seine say they will buy machines OF their
own before they will pay the prices charged.
The increase In price comes the hardest
on tenants who rent on shares or pay a
certain number Of bushels per acre for
their land, as they are without means TO
buy machines. and many are obliged to
market their grain very soon after it is
cut.
The wheat harvest will here
next week. Winter wheat is looking we'll
and will make a good crop. The chlnch bug
is reported as working in spring wheat.
The indications are that the cat crop will
be a big one and that there will be a
consequent fall in prices.
1t is owing to some extent to these facts
that farmers are refusing to oSntract for
their threshing at the present prices.
