There are rumors afioat that IN
pleasant developments may come from
the foreign naval display at the James.
town Exposition. The British squad
ron was to have been there for the
celebration on the 18th of May, But
instead of that it weighed anchor and
sailed south to Bermuda. OF course,
If inquiry were made of the Navy
Department, one would be assured
that this departure has been arranged
ten years ago and 1t was just what
was provided for on the program,
But as a matter OF fact it was not ex-
pected at all. The British squadron
was to have been part of the dis
play, and the story goes that there
was a decided fiare-up between the
British commander and Admiral Evans
in command of the American squad
ron. AS all who know him are aware,
Admiral Evans temper is none of the
longest, He has always been on
very good terms with the British sail.

Beresford, the Condor" Charlie of
the British navy, are warm personal
friends. But he has been decidedly
sore on all things English since the
incident at Jamaica when Governor
Sweetenham ordered Admiral Davis OF
the American relief squadron out of
the harbor Those who ought to
know say that the incident was
brought up again during the meeting
of the two fleets at jamestown, and
the exchange of words between the
two admirals was responsible for the
sudden departure of the British squad.

THE LATEST.

Last evening at S :35 o'clock The Cau-
casian requested information from the
mayor in connection with the Battle of
Manila fake The mayor by telephone
answered that he had received call
from Glover, who had suggested to him
the appointment of a committee, of
which the mayor was to be the chair
man. Accordingly the committee was
named as follows: A. Querbes, w. E.
Glassell, c. c. Rives, H. Youree, E. r.
Bernstein, chairman, and two others
whose names the mayor stated he could
not then recall This committee is to
check up the receipts and the expenses,
and the amount realized above the ex
penses is to be divided equally among
the Genevieve Orphanage, the Manual
Training School and the Home for the
Homeless.
This suggestion by Glover that the
mayor be chairman of the committee
was nervy If some men had Glover's
nerve or gall they would Hip up mil
lion or two and never be embroiled with
the people and the-we were about to
say law, but Glover can snap his fingers
at the law; the ordinance of the city
which, under the compromise with the
mayor, will not reach him. Glover is
all right, all right. Bully boy, bully
The people? The people have the expe-
rience, and if this is not satisfactory to
the biked, then let the blked howl.
Who could have suggested so happy a
compromise by Glover, for Glover

be returned not to the victims, who
probably could not be reached. but t.
the mayor as the head Of the city, who
however, has not right or privilege tc
compromise with the Battle of Manila
combination
The meeting Friday night was devoid
of purpose. 1t was without a head
There should have been named a com
mittee to compel Glover to disgorge and
to prosecute him and others who may
be connected with him in this fraud
Now, assuming that Glover will not
disgorgc, what will follow?
Suppose Glover should disgorge, say,
a few hundred dollars, what will be the
proceedings against him?
AS the saying goes, ITS up to the
mayor"
Seriously, this fake should not be dis
missed lightly. 1t is discredit to this
community and detrimental to legiti-
mate amusements which may be offered
to the public in the future. The people
must be safeguarded from frauds and
cheats and legitimate amusements
should be protected against the inhu-
ence Of cheats and frauds
1t should be rule of the city, in the
future, to not permit any public enter
tanments. where money is required for
admission or for its viewing until the
character of the performance shall have
been ascertained so that the public may
be protected from frauds. Had the city
authorities developed this Battle of
Manila scheme and sized it up as it
was, the dscredit to this city would
have been avoided. 1t was patent to ev-
cry sensible being who viewed the fleets
and the forts and the general surround
ings before night and before the bridge
was ''roped off, that under the most
favorable conditions the Battle of
Manila" could only be a travesty, a re-
Election on the fight by Dewey in Manila
bay. 1t would not be possible to perpe
trate greater sham on intelligent peo-
pie. In general sense, the American
people delight to be "humbugged' some
times, but this fake was the crudest and
the rankest ever conceived.
1t is fortunate that the Captain Cook
Glover combination had disappeared be-
fore the victims had realized they had
been gulled.
