“McKinley is responsible for ail the is

perhaps fatal. The Admiral is an old

FRIENDS EX COL RAGED HIM.
Dewey Talks of Ha* Candidacy tluf
Not of Him I*ians.
Washington, April 4.—Admiral Dewey to
night expressed himself as very muc.fi
gratified over the manner jn which his
announcement to he a candidate for the
presidency had been received by his
friends.
His manner likewise indicated that fact,
as he chatted with a reporter of the As
sociated Press at his home this afternoon.
Many telegrams have *come to him to
day, particularly from the Souih and
some also from the far West, indorsing
his course and slating that he will re
ceive the support of the signers in the
campaign which he will make.
The Admiral was in excellent humor and
talked interestingly of a number of things
in connexion with his proposed candi
dacy, though concerning most questions
asked him he requested that nothing be
said at this time, as in due time he would
make a statement to the public on the
subject.
“Why is it, Admiral Dewey, that you
have decided to become a candidate for
the presidency?” he was asked.
“Really, on lhat point,” he answered,
“there is nothing to add to what has al
ready been printed on the subject. If the
American people want me lo he their can
didate for this high office I shall gladly
serve them. My determination to aspire
to it was influenced by many friends w’ho
have written letters suggesting that I
should be a candidate. These communica
tions have come from all over the coun
try, some from New York, a large num
ber from the South, and some from the
Pacific coast. It was in response to these
suggestions that I haye taken the course
announced. Since the announcement was
made I have received a number of tele
grams from my friends commending the
action I have taken and promising me
their support. I am deeply gratified to
them for their kindness. These are the
considerations which have urged me to
change my mind from the original state
ment I made on my i return from Manila
that 1 would not be a candidate for the
office.”
Sn>* Little of His Plan*.
"Now, tell me something about your
plans for the future,” suggested the re
porter.
“Oil that point I am not yet prepared to
make any statement,” answered the Ad
miral. “I am consulting with my friends
as to the course to be pursued. When the
proper lime arrivee I will make a state
ment of my intentions as to the future,
and this will be very soon. Pending that
I prefer not to say anything for publica
tion regarding them.”
“Will the announcement of your can
didacy for the presidency make any
change in the plans for your trip to Chi
cago and other Western cities?”
“Not at all. The dbrdinl invitations
which I have received from those cities
to visit them during the coming spring
and which I have accepted, I expect to
fulfill. The assurances of regard convey
ed by them are very gratifying to me, and
I certainly want to show the people that
I appreciate 4heir kindness.”
Lius Decided Opinion*.
Admiral Dewey has some very decided
opinions on matters of public moment,
and while expressing them in private, pre
fers not to make any public announce
ment of them at this time. Platforms for
parties, he believes, are. not made by
candidates for the high office of President.
In connection with his determination to
run for the office the Admiral dwells
with much pleasure and gratification on
the warmth of the receptions that he has
everywhere received in his various trips
throughout the country, including the
South, particularly, and on numerous per
sonal declarations that the people wanted
him for President.
Much comment has been indulged in
to-day by the public as to which of the
great podtical parties the Admiral will
ally himself with, and from whom he ex
pects to receive tho nomination for the
presidency. To questions bearing on this
subject, he declares that he prefers not
to make any statement at this time.
To those who have talked with him
privately on the subject, however, and
who are fully ooquointed with his views,
ii is evident that, he does not expert a
nomination to come from the Republican
party.
The Admiral, his friends say, has very
decided views on the question of expan
sion, on tha* of a tariff for Porto Rico
and others of great public interest, but
declined politely to-nlgln to indicate them
on the ,plra that this is not the proper
time for that.
W ill Stay in the ,!Snvy.
The possibility of the Admiral's nomi
nation has suggested the query as to
whether he would retain his position on
the active list of the navy during the
compaign w’hich would follow’. The Ad
miral is disinclined to discuss this mat
ter in advance of any nomination, but be
lieves that can be properly determined,
should the occasion arise. There is no
reason, he feels, w’hy he should not con
tinue in the navy pending the election, as
a nomination does not necessarily mean
an election. These are known to be bis
views on this subject, and he would con
sider it entirely proper to remain in the
navy, even though he engaged in the ac
tivities of a heated political campaign.
“What will your platform be?” next to
that as to which party he expected to he

New York, April 4.—A Washington dis
patch to the Evening Telegram says:
“It has developed that the announce
ment of Admiral Dewey’Sv candidacy is a
part o£ a well laid plan of Eastern Dem

The Evening Telegram’s dispatch con
tinues:
“The Admiral will not admit Chat there

or state whether he would like the Re
publican or the Democratic nomination.
He told me to-day that ne was in the

WHAT EX-GOV. STONE THINKS.
Hi* Views of Dewey n* a I’residentnl
Possibility.
St. Louis, April 4.—Ex-Gov. W. J. Stone,
when asked what he thought of the can
didacy of Admiral Dewey for the presi
dential nomination said:
“When the great Admiral returned to
America fresh from his triumphs at Ma
nila, he was reported, and I infer correct
ly, as he has never denied the report, as
saying that he did not possess the qualitM
cations necessary for the office of the
President cf the United States; that his
entire life had been devoted to the navy
and naval affairs, and his knowledge of
the great public questions, requiring the
test statesmanship'always, was so meagre
he could not consider the presidency for
a moment.
“I am not advised which nomination
the Admiral will seek—the Republican or
the Democratic. If the Republican, I
<hink he W’ould give Mr. McKinley a
very good race, and I w’ould enjoy watch
ing it immensely from the grand stand.
If Admiral Dewey aspires to the Demo
cratic nomination I should like to know
what his opinions are on the public ques
tions. I admire him immensely as a great
hero, but in my opinion more is needed
in a President than the ability to fight
a successful battle on the seas, and I
shall have to hear from Admiral Dew-ey
on questions of statesmanship before be
ing ready to admit that the hero of Ma
nila w r ould be a safe man to trust with
the reins of the government.”
WILL NOT NOMINATE DEWEY.
A Texas National Committeeman’*
View of the Case.
Paris, Tex., April 4.—Hon. James G.
Dudley of this city, the Texas member of
the National Democratic Executive Com
mittee, in answer to a telegram asking
his opinion in regard to Admiral Dewey’s
candidacy for the pre?kfc*ncy, replied as
follows:
“Admiral Dewey will not be nominated
by the Democratic party. The lesson
learned by the nomination of Horace
Greeley is still remembered. Nor do I be
lieve that he will be nominated by the
Republican party. This is no time for
military or naval heroes. Gen. Scott's
race for the presidency might be con
sulted with some profit. If Bryan cannot
beat McKinley this year he cannot be
beaten for the presidency.”

MEW MEXICO’S GREAT RUINS.
REMAINS OF PRUHISTOIIIC BUILD
INGS OF ROUGHLY IIEWN STONE.
Found Near Aztec in Sail .luaii Coun
ty— Valuable Relics Secured in
Sealed Cham hers.
From the Sante Fe New Mexican.
It is riot only im Santa Fe county where
the ancient dwellings are found, but in San
Juan their exist wonderful remains of the
early dwellers. About a mile west of the
county town of Aztec on a m* sa now un
der cultivation ere found the fallen or pa -
dally standing walls of a structure which,
presents features of unusual interest. The
mound of debris which has been made
from the fallen walls in quite twenty-live
feet above the general level, and oyt of
the heap wails yet standing rise in their
original position to a further hight of
thirty feet.
The lower rooms can now be reacned
only through a passageway that has been
cut through the second story, and can be
examined only by the aid of artificial light.
They vary from (1 by 10 to 10 by 16 feet at
the base and are 10 feet in hight. The
ground walls are three and one-half feet
in thickness, and the facings of all outer
and inner walls are made of dressed
stone of uniform thickness. While shape 1
without the aid of metal too.s.they present
a very uniform appearance, and >he
amount of labor required to dress them
with implements of stone attests the skill
and patience of the builders. The many
thousands of tons of rock were brougnt
by human labor from a quarry two mile*
distant. Some attempt'was madeto break
joints in the different courses, and, doubt
less for artistic effect, alternate layers of
Etone, not more than one inch in thickness,
were frequently used in the walls.
The builder evidently knew the use of
the plumb line, for the standing walls are
veritacle, but they were ignorant of the
principles of bonding at point of wall in
tersections, for each cross wall Is built to,
but nor into, the wall if meets at the true
right angle. They evidently were not fa
miliar with the use of lime, for all mortar
was made from a deposit of red clay,
about one-half mile distant, which con
tains a large amount of pyroxide of iron
and minute infusioriae of marine deposit,
which furnishes a mortar, when protected
from the weather, almost as hard as ce
ment. In these dry and now underground
rooms this mortar has become almost as
hard as the stone itself, but in the outer
walls the centuries of storms and sand
laden yinds have worn it away to a depth
of about two inches.
Passage to the several rooms was made
through doorways of uniform width of
three feet, varying from four to five feet
in hight, and so far as known all en
trance was first made from the court or
quadrangular area embraced within the
outer walls. Light and ventilation were
secured to the outer tier of rooms by open
ings, usually eight by twelve inches in
size, w’hich are located at a uniform dis
tance of six feet from the clay floors.
In ail places where irergular joints oc
rur the mortar is tilled with countless
numbers of flakes of stone, perhaps not
more than one-eighth of an inch in thick
ness. The mortar was placed with the
hand, as is apparent from the palm and
linger prints. All dividing walls were
carried from the base through the upper
stories, thus making roenu* in tiers of
uniform size. As the several stories were
completed an offset of about four inches
was made, and from the receding thick
ness of the three stories now’ standing
the building was evidently seven stories
in hight.
While many of the rooms bear no evi
dence of lire, others are blackened with
smoke, and the fireplaces in the angles
are connected with plastered flues that #
xtend upright through the several
stories. • '!
A puzzling qnei-t on arises as to how or
where they procured the. logs that sup
port the several floors. They resemble
red spruce, but that is not now found
nearer than 100 miles distant on the
higher mountains .it (he head of the Ani
mas river, and, if procured, could have
been brought down only by being floated
on that stream. One log, which now In
part supports the floor of three rooms, is
forty-two feet in length, with a differ
ence of but two inches in diameter at
either end.
Some years ago a log was removed from
the ruins that wae sixty-four feat in
length, having a diameter of eight and
eleven inches at the extreme ends. No
red spruce now growing in the forest
maintains its size to this degree. All sup
porting beams were cut In the spring, for
they are free from bhrk. and bear no
marks of tools except at the ends, w’here
with stone ax>s they were rut off as
evenly as can be done with the modern
steel hx, This may be n hard statement
to believe, but,the logs are here to apeak
for themselves, in the absence of their
former owners, and all can see who will.
So enduring and great is the strength of
this timber that now, after centuries of
use, where it has- been protected from
moisture, it is apparently as sound as
when first cut, and the two logs that
span each room n-*w support a deposit of
from ten to fifteen feet of rock and mor
tar that has fallen from former walls.
In other rooms through the open door
ways can be seen the broken and battered
beams and poles that have been crushed
by the great weight of fallen debris,
writes Cecil A. Deane.
At right angle* to the beams I* laid a
tier of small poles about three Inches In
diameter, and ulap free from bark. On j
these is a layer of cedar splints, and above
them a layer ot cedar bark, which in
turn is covered with a deposit of clay
mortar about four inches in thickness,
which forms the floor proper.
About fifty i*t oms in the lower and now
und rground sterv have been opened. The
number so far as investigations have been
made indicates a total of about 100 rooms,
or 700 in the building before its destruc
tion began. A plan of the ground story
was made by Prof. W. K. Moorehead,
president of the Archaeological Society,
of Columbus, 0., who with a party of as
sistants passed two weeks here In 1892 in
making a careful survey of the ruins. His
time d.d not admit of examination of the
east or remaining side of the quadrangle.
The mounds of debris there ate of less
hight, and, unlike the sandstone rock
used in the walls of the three sides, wra
ter-w’orn boulders, taken from the river
bed, Were put in place. The walls w’ero
probably not more than two stories in
hUht.
The eight council chambers and places
w’here their mystic ceremonies were ob
served are faced w’ith cut stone, and the
depressions are now about eight feet in
depth, although doubtless partially filled
.above their former bottom.
The archaekgical treasures that may bo
found in the many sealed rooms are pure
ly a matter cf conjecture. That many rel
ies will be recovered if they are opened
may be expected from the fact that in
those opened by the Boston party four
teen skeletons and mummies were found
in one room, and from other rooms two
w agon loads of vases, jars, pitchers, bowls
and other articles of domestic life were
secured and removed.
A few nundrtd feet to the east of this
large ruin is another almost as large, as
is proved by the area covered by the de
bris of fallen walls. It bears evidence of
still greater antiquity, and but isolated
portions of the stone walls appear above
the surface. The timbers where exposed
are greatly decayed, and the general sur
face of the mounds is broken into numer
ous depressions where the once support
ing timbers have been crushed by the
weight of fallen walls. From the size of
the few’ rooms that can be entered it Is
inferred that there were seventy-five
rooms in the first story, but how many
stories there w'ere originally in the build
ing cannot now be determined.
At a distance of about 403 feet from the
large ruin is situated an ancient reser
voir covering about one acre, and now in
use. It was doubtless used as a storage
of water for domestic purposes by the oc
cupants cf the tw’o large pueblos, and by
those who lived in the many smaller hous
* s whose ruins now dot the surface in all
and rictions from the greater ruins. It was
supp led by ad teb which received Its
water ffom the river at a point about
four miles above the reservoir, and traces
of the ditch, which w’as about tw’enty feet
wide on the bottom, can yet be seen to a
distance of twenty-five miles below this
point.
COCOA PALM’S MANY USES.
From It Fill pi non Get Food, Drink.
Shelter, Ropes, llroomn mid Sonp.
From the Journal of the Society of Arts.
There are several speck s of cocoa palms
growing in the Philippine archipelago, but
the ordinary cocoanut tree (Cocos nuci
fera) is the most important. The Indians
make use of It in a good many ways,
bur. only the principal ones need bo enu
merated.
The kernel of the nut they use for food,
while the liquid the shell contains make*
a refreshing drink. If allowed to stand for
some time this liquid forms a very agree
able milky juice, that is relished not only
by the natives, but by European® as well.
After ihis Juice as coagulated it is mixed
with sugar and made into bonbons, known
as cocoa sugar, and also into various other
delicacies.
According to a recent report of the
United States de|>artm-ent of agriculture,
by tapping the central bud that crown®
the cocoanut a kind of wine called tub;i,
of on agreeable pungent taste, is procured.
This tuba, allowed to ferment, pro
duces vinegar, and when distilled a kind
of brandy, that is highly relished by the
natives.
From the husk of the cocoanut the Ti
gals make rope and cords, and a maierial
for calking their *bots. From the wooiy
shells they carve spoons, cups, beads for
rosaries and many other articles.
The leave** they use to cover ihe roofs
of their houses. Roofs made in this man
ner are thick and tight, but they have ihe
disadvantage of burning readily, so tha/
in the towns and village* where the houses
are thus covered conflagrations spread
With great rapidity.
The veins and smaller ribs of the trees
are used to make brooms, the midribs
serve as fuel and the ashes are utilized
in making soap.
The trunk of the paim is made- to serv#*
as a pillar to support the houses that its
leaves overshadow. Oil barrels. tub*
and water pipes are fashioned from
hollow sect ions of the trunk.
From the roots the natives extract a red
dying material, that they chew In place
