Washington, June 27.-Admiral Dewey
continued his testimony before the senate
committee on the Philippines this morn
ing.
Answering a question by Senator Pat
tcrson he stated that he had begun nego-
tiations with the governor general of the
Philippines, General Jaudens, and the ne
gotiations were conducted through the
Belgian consul, who, after the death Of
the British consul, had been very cour-
teous in acting as go-between. 1t was
diplomatic negotiation, no letters being
written.
The admiral said he had Informed Cen
cral Merritt of the proffer of General Jau-
dins, but he did not believe that Merritt
"had taken much stock in it,
II assured him that such was the case,
but told of the arrangement that before
the surrender should take place | was to
engage an outlying fort and make the
signal, according to the international code

iards were to hoist the white flag on the
southern bastion.

cover the flag, notwithstanding that ] had
stationed so men to look out for it. 1t

first to discover it."
Suspicious of Aeuinaldo.
He also said he had read the testimony
of General Macarthur, saying that he
knew of no agreement of the kind men
toned, but that it had not been his
(Deweys) business to communicate with
any one except the commanding official.
Asked by Mr.. Patterson to explain his
statement that Merritt had not accepted
the report that the Spaniards had agreed
to capitulate, Dewey said that was only
his belief.
II don't believe" he said Chat the
general entirely trusted the Spanish au-
thorities. Still he did not say SO in so
many words.
II may add that learned since that
some of the Spaniards were tempted to fire
on us. Even my own flag lieutenant did
not accept their proffer as in the best of
faith. l knew, however, that they would

WAITING FOR APPOINTMENT
President, II Is Said. viii Allow Or.
Ball to Name Postmaster

A special to the philadelphia Bulle-
tin from Washington last night said;
The appointment of postmaster at
Middletown, Del, is expected In a few
days and the identity Of the person
named may have a decided bearing on
the Republican situation in that State.
John w. Jolls is the present post
ter. and has been recommended for re-
appointment by Representative Ball.
The Addicks faction has been contest
ing this appointment, and If Mr.. Jolls
Is reappointed It will be claimed by
the Regular Republicans as a repudia-
tion Of Addicksism by the President.
But it must be remembered that there
is a tradition in the Postoffice Depart
ment that allows Republican represen-
tatives to name the postmasters In
their districts. and Mr. Ball will, no
doubt, be recognized until March at
least, when he retires from Congress.

MANY NEGROES
SNUFF COCAINE
Police Would Like City Coun-
Gil to Pass Ordinance Regu-
lating Drugs Sale

Members Of City Council last night
heard communications from the Police
Commission read, calling attention to
the excessive use of cocaine. opium
and other drugs by people addicted TO
these habits. The police have noticed
the daily increase of users of drugs,
especially cocaine. which is gradually
becoming a part of the colored mans
life, for it is among the negro race that
this injurious drug is most extensively
used. The users of this fatal prepara-
ton are called Cocaine Sniffers," and
are at present able to obtain the drug
without much trouble in drug stores.
What the police desire is a ordinance
prohibiting the sale of any of these
drugs and prohibiting the exhibition
of opium joints. Council will take the
matter ulder consideration and it is
likely That law will be passed.

what effect the occupation OF Venezue-
Ian territory by England and Germany
would have on the Monroe doctrine of
this nation.
Il think the situation is grave. The
two greatest powers in Europe have
come together, with at least sufficient
grievances against Venezuela to make
plausible case under international
law. oBd to seize custom houses of
Venezuela. They are obliged, under
the very necessities of the case, to
hold Venezuelan territory for an indef-
mite period, for they are not going to
abandon their claims. Il is not hard
to foresee that they may stay in Vene.
zuela as long as England has stayed
in Egypt. 1t is a situation that
threatens grave complications.
when one considers the present
Industrial situation in the world, the
growing jealousy and apprehension Of
Europe toward our commercial az.
gressions all over the world, the fear
that this supremacy is bringing to
Europe. ii seems to me more than
probable that the statesmen of Eu-
rope will seize the. opportunity here
presented, should we attempt to en-
force the Monroe doctrine, to form a
coalition Of all the great powers
against the United States.
"The close neighborhood Of yene-
zuela to the isthmian canal, should
these two powers establish themselves
there, is also to be taken into serious
consideration.
