REQUESTS DEPARTMENT TO SEND
* OREGON' AT 0$CE.
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS GUESSING.
Admiral Says He Wants the Battleship
For “Political Heasons.”—His Itc
quest Promptly Granted.
A Washington special says: Friday
morning the navy department received
the following message from Admiral
Dewey:
Nf anila, February 24.—For political
reasons the Oregon should be sent
here at once. Yorktown arrived.
Charleston and Petrel cruising around
the Philippine islands. Affairs more
quiet. Dewet.
This cablegram has aroused the
query indicated and now everybody is
asking the question because of the re¬
quest that the Oregon be sent him at
once.
It is rot so much the request for the
battleship, however, as the fact that
the request is based on political con¬
siderations that has started all the
talk and speculation. Nobody pre¬
tends to know just what possibilities
Dewey sees, but in Washington the
general opinion is that he regards it
possible that European governments
may yet meddle in affairs in the Phil¬
ippines.
The fact that the incendiary fires in
Manila may have destroyed property
of foreign residents leads to the belief
that some of these foreigners, presum¬
ably the Germaus, have requested the
intervention of their governments and
that Dewey proposes to be prepared
for any turn which international com¬
plications may bring him.
The cablegram was received with
snprise by the officials. No one knew,
or at least would admit that he knew,
the nature of the political reasons why
the admiral should demand the imme¬
diate presence of the battleship. The
cablegram was taken before the cabi¬
net and fully discussed.
The admiral, it is said, probably
feels that the moral effect of the pres¬
ence of the big ship upon the insur¬
gents themselves, and particularly
upon that large element among the
Filipinos that is believed to be re¬
strained with much difficulty from
joining fortunes with Aguiualdo, with
whom their sympathies lie, would be
good.
But there is an underlying doubt
whether or not the admiral may not be
keenly sighting a gathering cloud in
the east and is looking to the preven¬
tion of any possible intervention or
interference by the European powers
by the struggle now in progress in the
neighborhood of Manila.
It is believed that in the big fires a
night or two ago much property of
foreign residents and business con¬
cerns was destroyed. That these fires
were caused by the insurgents cannot
be denied, and it may be that some of
the foreign naval commanders in the
east are disposed to seize upon the
pretext that their interests demand
protection, which we cannot afford
them, to make a landing or do some¬
thing obnoxious to the United States
and likely i o encourage the insurgents.
With such a strong naval force as
would be afforded by the reinforce¬
ment of Dewey’s fleet by the Oregon
there could not be any sound reason,
nor even a plausible reason, for any
such action on the part of third par¬
ties.
Secretary Long, when asked for an
explanation of the reference to politi¬
cal reasons in the dispatch, says: “I
am sure that it has no international
significance. You may state that pos¬
itively. Probably he wants a fine ship
there, as the American commissioners
are about due, and it will give weight
to the American representatives.”
The Oregon arrived at Honolulu on
the 5th! instant, according to the
telegraphic report. Allowing for de¬
tention on account of coaling at Guam
or some other point between Honolulu
and Manila, it is estimated that the
big battleship will reach Manila about
the 10th of March.
PROFITABLE RELIGIOUS WORK.
Revivalist Jones and Stuart Well Paid
By Cliattanoogans.
A Chattanooga special says: Messrs.
Jones and Stuart, the evangelists,
have gone and the sinners of the city
are again breathing freely. The fol¬
lowing are the figures showing the
amount the revivalists received for
their work in this city: Total collec¬
tions, $2,001.34; expenses, $271.49;
amount paid to Rev. Sam Jones for
seventeen days’ preaching, $903.25;
amount paid Mr. Stuart for the same
time, $481.80. The balance was dis¬
tributed among the singers and musi¬
cians, Mr. Tillman, of Atlanta, the
singer, receiving $125; Mrs. George
R. Stuart, piano, $75, and Mrs. Anna
Jones Graham, $85. The tangible re¬
sult so far is an ordinance passed by
the city council closing the saloons
at 10 o’clock at night.
ADDITIONAL CADETSHIPS.
Made Necessary By New Army Bill—Sena¬
tors Have Appointment.
A Washington dispatch says: Un¬
der the terms of the new army bill,
there are to be 100 additional cadets
ships for West Point, ten of them to
be filled by the president and the oth¬
ers apportioned among the states, the
senators naming the appointees.
As it stands, each representative
has an appointment to the military
academy, but the aenators have none.

Bullet Was Intended For n$r Husband.
South Carolina Tragedy.
A Columbia, S. O., dispatch says:
Four state constables charged with
enforcement of the dispensary law
went at fi o’clock Saturday evening to
the residence of John Stuart, a well
known citizen and a clerk in one of
the largest mercantile establishments
in the city, for the purpose of search¬
ing it to see if there was any whisky
in the house.
They went with a search warrant,
but were met at the door by Mrs.
Stuart. She sent for her husband
who, on arriving, indignantly refused
to permit the search. The constables
stated that they had been informed
that he had been selling whisky con¬
trary to the law and were determined
to make the search.
Words foltpved and finally upon
Stuart cursing Constable Crawford,
the latter slapped him. Stuart ran
into his house. His wife had come
out on the piazza. From the doorway
Stuart opened fire on the constables.
Crawford returned it and shot Mrs.
Stuart just below the heart. The
woman was dangerously wounded, but
not killed. Stuart was also badly shot
in the mouth, his tongue being nearly
severed. In the fusilade that followed
Constable Crawford was shot through
the left wrist.
The sheriff and several policemen
arrested the constables and carried
them to a magistrate’s office. The news
of the shooting spread all over the
city and soon 400 or 500 infuriated
men were in front of the office mnking
a big demonstration. The constables
were kept prisoners in the magistrate’s
office all night guarded by the sheriff
and his deputies.
The two local military companies
were ordered out to keep the crowd
pressed back.
GOMEZ CONFERS WITH BROOKE.
Conference W»« a Lengthy One, But Se¬
crecy Was Maintained.
A special from Havana says: Gen¬
eral Maximo Gomez, accompanied by
two aids de camp, called on General
Brooke at his residence at Vedado at
10 o’eloclc Saturday morning. He was
received by the governor general,
General Cllaffee, the chief of staff,
Major Kennon and Captain Page. *
Gomez requested a private interview
with General Brooke, and the others,
with the exception of an aid'Tle camp
for Gomez and Major Kennon for
General Brooke, withdrew. The con¬
ference lasted an hour and a half,
Gomez said nothing to indicate that he
does not adhere to the agreement ar¬
rived at with Mr. Bobert P. Porter,
for the payment and disarmanent of
the Cuban troops. But he submitted
some considerations verbally to Gen¬
eral Brooke. Their nature was not
disclosed. •
The interview terminated with the
understanding that Gomez is to put
the substance of what he said in
writing.
CABLE PROVIDED FOR.
The Senate Commit tee On Appropriations
Includes It In a Bill.
The senate committee on appropria¬
tions Saturday agreed to incorporate
a provision in the sundry civil appro¬
priation bill providing for the con¬
struction of a submarine cable connec¬
ting the United States with the Haw¬
aiian islands.
The amendment provides for the
laying of the cable by the United
States and for its subsequent owner¬
ship by the government, the navy de¬
partment to perform the service, and
the cable when completed to be opera¬
ted by the postoffice department.
The original proposition providing for
the extension of the cable to the Phil¬
ippine islands was stricken out be¬
cause of the uncertainty of the ten¬
ure of the” United States in the last
named islands.
IDENTIFIED JESSE JAMES.
Passenger Says He Was the Man Who
Helped to Bob Train.
The most positive identification of
Jesse James as one of the Leeds train
robbers was made in the courtroom at
Kansas City Sjf^urday by William J.
Smith, of Stokesboro, Mo., who was a
passenger on the Missouri Pacific
traiu the night it was held up.
Smith testified that he got out when
the train stopped and walked up
among the robbers. He pointed out
Jesse James as the man who placed a
gun against his breast and ordered
him back into the car.
HURRY ORDERS GIVEN.
Otis Frees Lawton to Hasten to Manila
With Reinforcements.
Advices from Colombo, Island of
Ceylon, are to the effect that the
United States transport Grant, which
sailed from New York for Manila, on
January 19th, with troops under com¬
mand of General Henry, with Lawton
on board, arrived there Saturday.
General Lawton received a cable¬
gram from Major General Otis, in
charge of the American military forces
in the Philippines, saying: “Situation
critical. Your earliest arrival neces¬
sary.” He also received from General
Corbin, United States adjutant gener¬
al, a dispatch urging him to hurry.
ARKANSAS TROOPS GO HOME.
They Were Mustered Out at Anniston
Swords Presented to Ofllcai**.
The Second Arkansas regiment was
mustered out at Anniston, Ala., Satur¬
day and nearly all of its members left
for home at once. The mustered out
men were very orderly. Prior to the
breaking up, the officers and men pre¬
sented Colopel Virgil Y. Cook and
Lieutenant Colonel Derosey C. Cabell
with fine swords. Colonel Cabell was
also given a handsome watch.
OTIS ISSUES STRICT ORDERS TO
PROTECT CITY OF MANILA.
M’flRTHUR CALLED FOR TROOPS.
Filipinos Gather In Force and Threaten
the American Lines—Old Glory Is
Itaised Over Cebu.
A cable dispatch of Saturday from
Manila says: The military police have
raided several suspected houses in va¬
rious districts, capturiug small bodies
of twenty to thirty prisoners in each.
This and the 7 o’clock ordinance is
effectually dispelling the fears of
threatened outbreak of the natives,
who do not dare, singly or collectively,
to appear on the streets after dark.
The feeling in the city has decidedly
improved, although the Chinese are
still timorous. Hundreds of appli¬
cants for cedillas besiege the register's
office, the natives apparently being
under the impression that their posses¬
sion insures them from interference,
aud the ignominy of being searched
for arms on the streets. It is gener¬
ally believed that the disastrous at¬
tempts to attack the city and destroy
property, the Filipinos themselves
being the worst sufferers, will prevent
their recurrence, but every precaution
is being taken to deal with au emer¬
gency if it arises.
The insurance agents refuse to en¬
tertain any claims on account of Wed¬
nesday night’s fire. They intimate
that General Otis, having guaranteed
the safety of life and property of the
inhabitants of Manila, is responsible
for these claims.
Outside of the city tlrd sharpshooters
about Caloocan are very annoying.
McArthur Ask* For Kclnforccinents.
A later dispatch states that Saturday
night the rebels concentrated in such
numbers near the Chinese cemetery
that General MacArthnr anticipated
au attack and asked for reinforcements.
Two companies of the Twenty-third
regulars were Bent to Caloocan an d a
battalion of the Twentieth regulars to
the cemetery at about midnight.
But the q peeted attack was not
made, the rebels, after making a gj'eat
nose with bugle calls aud yells of
“Viva Inflepeudencia,” aud “Mucho
Maco Americanos” and firing volleys,
disappeared in the woods.
It is believed their leaders are get¬
ting desperate and are attempting to
force the United States troops to make
an attack, in the hope of breaking
through the American lines, but the
rebels are evidently unwilling to be
sacrificed when facing the Americans.
It is just pos-ible, that they might be
goaded into such move before more
reinforcements arrive.
News reached Manila Sunday morn¬
ing that the American flag had been
raised over the island of Cebu. The
United States gunboat Petrel visited
Cebu on February 22d. Commander
Cornwell sent an ultimatum a-bore,
declaring the intentions of the Ameri¬
cans to take possession—peaceably if
possible, by force if necessary. The
rebels immediately vacated, taking
their guns to the hills. A party of
marines and bluejackets was lauded
aud the American flag was raised by
them over the government building,
which they still occupy
APPROPRIATION INSUFFICIENT.
Democrats Declare $79,000,000 Not Near¬
ly Knough For Army.
Owing to the pressure of business,
the house has agreed to meet at 11
o’clock each day.
At Saturday’s session Mr. Hay,dem¬
ocrat, of Virginia, the ranking minor¬
ity member of the military committee,
criticised the amount carried by the
army appropriation bill, which, he
said, was practically insufficient to
maintain au army of 100,000 men.
The hearings before the committee,
he said,had shown that it cost $1,000
to maintain one enlisted man serving
ing in this country, and more while
serving abroad. The bill a impropriated.
$79,000,000. His estimate was $120,
000,000. He charged that the friends
of a large standing army did not de¬
sire to let the country into the secret
of its enormous cost. But there would
surely he a deficiency.
NO EXPLANATION ASKED.
Administration Satisfied In Regard to Im¬
port of Oeirey’s Message.
The dispatch from Admiral Dewey,
speaking of political reasons for send¬
ing the Oregon to Manila at once, is
still the subject of general discussion
in Washington. But apparently the
administration is satisfied that it un¬
derstands exactly what the admiral
meant when he used the term
“political reasons,” for it was stated
positively at the navy department that
no inquiry had been addressed to the
admiral on the subject, aud that he
would not be called upon for a further
explanation.
IlillK HANNA EXONERATED.
Senate Committee Submits Beport On the
Charge* From Ohio.
A Washingtou dispatch says: The
senate committee on privileges and
elections has decided that there was
no case made out in the protest against
Senator Hanna, of Ohio, and ordered
such a report made to the senate.
The charges were made at the time
Senator Hanna was elected by the
Ohio legislature as Sherman’s suc¬
cessor.
Virginia Democratic Association Ban¬
quets—Bryan Guest of Honor.
The Virginia Democratic Associa¬
tion of the District of Columbia cele¬
brated Washington’s birthday by a
largely attended banquet at the Na¬
tional Bifles' armory in Washington
Wednesday The banquet night. hall
was beautifully
decorated for the occasion with flags,
bunting and flowers. Hon. W. J.
Bryan was the guest of honor, and
among those present were Senators
Daniel and Martin, of Virginia, and
Stewart, of Nevada; Representatives
Bailey and Cooper, of Texas, and
Bartlett, of Georgia.
In the center of the stage to the
rear of the hall was an immense floral
emblem presented to Mr. Bryan by
his admirers. Patriotic speeches were
made and songs sun g, while the band
played a medley of popular airs.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, was the
first speaker, responding to the toast,
“George Washington; We Celebrate
His Birthday Anniversary for His
Worth as a Warrior, Statesman and
Patriot.”
He warmly eulogized the memory of
Washington and said he was the un¬
crowned king of universal liberty, en¬
lightenment and progress.
‘ ’Democracy’s mission” was respond¬
ed to by Representative Bailey, of Tex¬
as. In the course of his speech Mr.
Bailey referred to.the organization of
tne democratic party, an^p referred to
the faithful manner in which it has
performed its mission.
The president then introduced Hon.
William J. Bryan, who responded to
the toast, “America’s Mission.”
He said in part: “When the advo¬
cates of imperialism find it impossible
to reconcile a colonial policy with the
principles of our government or with
the canons of morality when they are
unable to defend itupoipthe ground of
religious duty or pecuniary t* profit, they
fall back in helpless spair upon the
assertion that it is destiny. ‘Suppose
it does violate the construction,’ they
say; ‘suppose it does break all the
commandments;.mppose it does entail
upon the nation an incalculable ex¬
penditure of blood and money; it is
destiny and we must submit.’
“The peojile have not voted for im¬
perialism; no national convention has
declared for it ; no congross has passed
upon it. To whom, then, has the fu¬
ture been revealed? Whence this
voice of authority? We can all proph¬
esy, but our prophesies are merely
guesses, colored by our hopes and our
is sproundiDgs. to be is half wish Man’s aiid opinion half environ¬ of what
ment. Avarice paints destiny with a
dollar mark before it, militarism equips
it with a sword.
“He is the best prophet who, recog¬
nizing the omnipotence of truth, com¬
prehends most clearly the great forces
which are working out the progress,
not of one party, not of one nation,
but of the human race.”
INTEREST CENTERED ON MANILA.
Officials Look for the First Sign of Weak¬
ness In tho Filipino Cause.
The authorities at Washington are
giving close attention |p the daily de¬
velopments in the mintary lufve situation
iu the Philipines and decided to
push the the campaign against the re¬
bellious followers of Aguiualdo with
energy. Every casualty report that
comes from General Otis notes the
wounding or lulling of some of the
American troops by what are practi¬
cally sharp shooters on the other side.
Tho insurgents apparently have
learned that they cannot hope to copo
with American troops anything
liko even terms in a regular set battle,
and from now on they are expected to
rely upon harrassing tactics.
PONDER MURDER MYSTERY
May Be Solved By tho Confession of a
Convict.
John Pendley, a convict in. the
chaingang of DeKalb county, Ga.,
has confessed to the assassination of
Policeman J. M. Ponder, who was
killed in the wholesale whisky house
of L. Steinau, in Atlanta, on the night
of November 9, 1897.
The confession was made ta parties
in DeKalb county. Convict Pendley,
in his confession, which is full and
frank, implicates George Bankston, a
white man, who will be remembered
as one of the principal witnesses in
the sensational trial iu which Louis
Steinau, Walter O'Quinn and Julius
Simon wers the defendants on the
charge of murder.
THIS ISLAND SURRENDERS.
Inhabitant of Negros Willing: and Anx¬
ious For Americans to TaUo Charge.
A Manila special says: While the
guns on the city walls and those on
board the ships of Rear Admiral
Dewey’s fleet in the bay fired a salute
iu honor of Washington’s birthday,
four commissioners from the island of
Negros had an interview with Major
General Otis and informed him that
the American flag had already been
raised over that island, and that its
inhabitants were ready, anxious and
willing Jo accept any proposition the
Americans might offer. The insur¬
gents have been driven from the
island entirely.
RECEPTION LARGELY ATTENDED.
Function at White. House Wednesday
• Most Brilliant In Years.
The public reception by the presi¬
dent and Mrs. McKinley Wednesday
evening was one of the most success¬
ful functions the white house has ever
known. The reception lasted from 9
I to 11 o’clock, nearly 8,000 visitors be¬
ing admitted. The interior of the
mansion was ablaze with light and
decorations that had not been surpas¬
sed at any levee this winter.
CUBAN LEADER IS GIVEN A ROUS
ING OVATION.
THOUSANDS WERE AWAITING HIM
March Into the City Was One of Great
Triumph—Gen. Ludlow and Troops
Acted as Escort.
General Maximo Gomez, the Cuban
commander-in-chief, entered Havana
Friday afternoon, escorted by General
Ludlow and his staff and troop L, of
the Seventh United States cavalry. He
marched at the head of 2,000 armed
Cuban horsemen and footmen.
The population of the city was wild
with enthusiasm, throwing themselves
in front of the general’s horse, imped¬
ing its progress and pelting him with
flowers.
General Gomez arrived on the edge
of the town from Marianao at 12:30 p.
m., and escorted by the Second Illi¬
nois band and three battalions. These
battalions then returned to their camp
and did not enter the city.
The festivities were in honor of the
fourth anniversary of the beginning of
the Cuban struggle for independence
and were most spontaneous and wild¬
ly enthusiastic. Havana had never
seen anything like it before. The
whole town was decorated and the
streets were packed with a crowd twice
as large as that which turned out at
the Garcia funeral.
At half past 12 o’clock in the after¬
noon General Gomez left Cerro, the
suburb from which the march was to
be made, with a procession in the fol¬
lowing order of formation:
The baud of the Seventh regiment,'
mounted, playing the Cuban hymn
and uatioual airs; company L, of the
Seventh United States cavalry; Gen¬
eral Gomez w ith Major General Lud¬
low on his right, tho staffs of General
Gomez aud General Ludlow riding
side by side, General Rodriguez and
staff; then a great number of Cuban
generals and officers, some mounted
and some in carriages, and finally
2,000 Cuban cavalry and infantry.
As General Gomez passed tho crowd’s
went wild with vivas, hats were flung
iu the air aud women showered flow¬
ers from all sides. General Gomez
bowed incessantly as tl}a crowds strug¬
gled nearer his horse.
The procession stopped frequently,
eventually filing into the main streets
of the city, passing Central park and
arriving at the palace at 2:30 o’clock.
The Prado and other avenues were
lined with patriotic clubs, taking up
various positions of vantage and then
joining the procession as it passed on
from the palace, from a balcony of
which it was reviewed by General Go¬
mez.
Welcomed at the Palace.
Once at the palace the Cuban com¬
mander-in-chief w y as welcomed by
Seaor Federico Mora, the civil gover¬
nor; Mayor Perfecto la Coste, the
members of the city council, the Junta
Patriotica, the members of the assem¬
bly, the officials of all classes and
numerous patriotic clubs. The palace
was beautifully decorated and all pre¬
vious efforts in the display of banners
and bunting was surpassed by the
almost endless showing of silk em¬
broidered standards and flags, hund¬
reds of which were carried by Havana’s
daughters.
Three Flags United.
A handsome carriage containing
ladies aud decorated with large Span¬
ish, American and Cuban flags draped
together with white ribbons and bear¬
ing the legend, “Unity, Peace and
Concord,” was vociferously cheered.
Still another float represented a Cuban
woman bolding au American flag, with
the shattered crown of Spain at her
feet.
No fewer than 23,000 people were
in line, requiring three hours to pass a
given point.
After the review at the palace Gen¬
eral Gomez, accompanied by his staff,
proceeded to El Vedado to visit Gen¬
eral Brooke. Iu the evening he at¬
tended the charity ball at the Tacon
theather, where the best Havana soci¬
ety was present.
After the ball General Gomez went
to Quinta de Molinas, the former resi¬
dence of the Spanish captain general,
where he will reside with his staff es¬
cort.
ABUINALDO OVERESTIMATED.
Kebel Leader Is of Low Order and Only
Ordinary Intelligence.
Professor S. A. Knapp, special com¬
missioner of the department of agri¬
culture to inspect the seed aud plant
resources of the orient and make a re¬
port on the opportunities for introduc¬
ing our agriculture there, has returned
to Washington.
He says the general sentiment both
at Manila and Hong Kong is that
Aguinaldo is a much over-estimated
leader; that he is not of the highest
order of even the Filipinos, and that
ho would sell out his cause for any
satisfactory price.
MORE TROOPS FOR MANILA.
Two Infantry Regiments "Will Be Sent To
Reinforce General Otis At Once.
The war department has arranged
to dispatch further reinforcements to
General Otis at Manila.
The regiments selected are the Ninth
infantry, now at New York, and the
Sixth infantry, at San Antonio, Texas.
Both these regiments will go by way
of San Francisco.
It is expected that the transports
will be able to leave by March 15th.

FOUGHT OVER BOUNDARY.
Natives of Brazil and French Soldiers
Come In Collision.
Advices received at Kingston, Ja¬
maica, from Cayenne, French Guiana,
say that the joint commission appoint¬
ed to inquire into the boundary ques¬
tion between France and Brazil, has
just been heard from on the Counani
river.
The correspondent says that both
commissions went out guarded by
heavy escorts equally matched. A
collision occurred between these two
forces in the interior. There were no
details, and it was not publicly known
whether there had been any bloodshed.
The fact that,the governor immediately
sent reinforcemeuts of 200 troops to
the front without waiting to communi¬
cate with Paris was thought to indicate
that the matter was serious.
