THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : MONDAY , SEPTEMBER It , 1899. The sun bursting through the clouds lit up the gleaming white sldo of the ship. "A happy , healthy crow In going home , myself Included , " said the admiral. 'Iiilk * nf the IMilllppincK. Admiral Dowcy returned to the Olympla yesterday afternoon nnd unless the unex pected happens when he next neta foot nshoro he will be among bis own people. "While ha waa at Inn hotel I sought a state ment of his views rf our policy in the Phil ippines which might bo used for publica tion "No , I have little to My , " ho said , "until the recommendations that the commlaibtw of which I am a member are laid before the president. " "Did you read the remarks of Pchurman upon his return ns Quoted In the papers ? They explain our situation. " "I ntilto agree with what he says. Indeed , I attach great Imrior'ance to his oplnl'm Ho is nn ajle and high-minded man who e c nsclCntloiu nnd Intelligent devotion to the task nsslzned him won my admiration. We were Invariably In accord " The iMlm'ral ' l"i ] never expressed regret nt asking the ar > n Intment of the e mmlsI fllon nnd has expressed nloasirp In bains a member of It Owing to his desire to put the report In the president's hands as FOJII na possible , which he feels tn be his duty. Chicago nnd the west will pnbahly have to forego n reception for h'm ' After the re ception nt Washington the nc'mlral will go to Montpeller. "I cannot disappoint the pcrple of my m- tlvo town nnd state , " said ho "They are m > own popple nnd very dear tn mo. " From Montpeller the admiral expects to return to Washington 'for the sessions of the commission. "I do not know if Colonel Denby will have returned by that time , " he said. "If po I hope to meet both him nnd Schurman at Washington Of course General Oils cannot come and Wopcewter , I see , Is still in the Philippines , but as we are In accord there ought to be little deray in making a formal report. I trust we may get to work nt once and keep nt It till the task Is fln- inhed. At least Schurmnn and mjsclt can put our heads together. " Opinion of the Filipino * . Then he saldNnnally. with great earnest ness' "You may say this , however , I have not changed the opinion which I stated In the early dajs at Manila. Speaking from a knowledge of b"th peoples , I consider the rillplnos moro cnpiblo of self-government than the Cubans , I look the keenest Inter est In these employed at the arsenal and wns surprised at their Intelligence. With fair opportunities nnd property directed they have great possibilities. " When I mentioned what Is uppermost in the minds of many nt Manila and what his ofllccrs believe ; that had he been given full powers as a governor general there need have been no rebellion , his attitude became that of ono receiving information , but ho had nothing to say. From what I have learned from conversa tions with him nnd from these around him I conclude that Admiral Dewcy would never accept the candidacy for president and that the limit of his political ambition Is to place before the president nnd the country nt the proper tlmo the Judgment and the Information ho possesses in assisting the administration in solving the problem- ? before - fore It He has thought a great deal on the subject during the vojngo nnd gathered in formation at Singapore of English methods of government In the Malay states. Inas much as President McKlnloy was instru mental In assigning him to the Asiatic squad ron he has the kindliest feelings toward the president. Moreover , It Is generally under stood that ho hones tor McKlnlcy's re-elec tion. tion.After the conversation quoted he said with the kindliness and consideration character istic of bun : "Von know If I were going to give nny- ono what you wish I would give It to you , for you never made mo say things that never crossed my mind. " I General Polvllle. General Slado and other officers nnd women accompanying , were en- ' tertalned by the admlrnl after his return to the flagship. At the same tlmo a number of noncommissioned officers of the royal ar tillery were cuests of the petty officers of the Olympla , nnd nt their Icavetaklng cheers for the ship and garrison wore exchanged. The officers of the Coldstrenm Guards gnvo n dinner to the ofncen of the Olympla when the ovation at the dinner by the Grenadier Guards on Thursday evcnlnK wns repeated. DEATH RECORD.

MAKE SMOKELESS POWDER > nvr Department Will IleKlii Mnnu- facturliiK Wllliln Two or Three Month * ut Indlnii Ilcnil. WASHINGTON , Sept. 10 The Navy de partment expccta to begin the manufacture of smokeless powder at its ponder mill } , a few miles back from the Potomac river n ar Indian Head , within the next two or three months. Work on the mills has been push3d energetically and at present about 1,200 men are employed. Admiral O'Nell chief of the bureau of ordnance , accompanied by Llouten- nnt Seymour of the bureau , Inspected the work during the last week and was much surprised nt the progress made Already about a dozen buildings re completed , the' electric light plant said to be onp ot the finest In the world Is Installed , and the standplpe , 120 feet high , Is up There are ten or twelve other buildings well along toward completion , Altogether the group of build ings will number twenty-four or twenty-five , with a capacity of 2,000 pounds ot smokeless powder dally. This dally output seems larso at first thought , but ono of the big 13-Inch guns of the Indiana uses 1,000 pounds of powder at a single shot , I Tbe various buildings of the powder plant cover a wide area about four miles back frcm the river. The general purpose has been to keep the buildings as far apart at the requirements of manufacture would per mit in order to avoid the dangers of ex- I plcslrns. For that reason there Is no large ' central building , but many emoll ones , each having a distinct branch of th powder-mak ing , They are arranged also with a view to the prevailing winds BO that the risk of having the fumes of acids b rnn by the winds reduc.d to a minimum. Ono building la used exclusively for the picking process ; another for the mixing ; another for tbo acids. In this way each stage of manufacture is de tached from all the others , net only reducing the chances of accidents , but also giving some security against widespread damage In caee of explosion in any one stage of the process , Another precautionary measure has been the building of light "paper" walls at | the ends of the bulldlngj , Three read ly give to tbo pressure of an e\ploiru | , leaving the main walls of the structure standing nnd materially reducing the loss which occur > when an explosion is closely conflued. Suililen ItcHiirrcctlon , There was excitement on the Midway Sun. day night over the fact that H hey was burled alive back of ono of the concessions on the wcat side. He wai placed In a hyp notic utato and then buried In six feet of earth , n place being left so people could look down and see his face , Ho wns no more than nicely burled when the police put in an appearance and under their order * there was a sudden resurrection from the newly-made grave. The boy wac put to sleep in the presence of Dra. Lev , S trceler and Mercer , but after the burial tbo phy sicians thought better of the matter and they told the police about it and Sergeant Hayes took charge of the Bleeping boy.

FIRE RcCORD. l'"oro t IMri-x In Wyo in I UK , CHEYENNE , Wyo. , Sept. 10. ( Ppueial. ) Forest fires are now burning In the Laramlu Peak timber district in northern Albany county and along Muddy mountain , about twenty-five miles southeast ot Casper , Spe cial Agent Abbott of the Interior d partmcnt , who wont out to Investigate nnd put out the fires If possible , has a farce of men workIng - Ing In the Lnramlo Peak district nnd hopes to overcome the flames within n few days , i Nothing could be done toward lighting the Muddy mountain fire on account of the dense smoke , and It will bo allowed to burn Itself out. During the fore part of this week the i worst forest lire In the history of northern . Wyoming raged in the raountatlns between I the north nnd south forks of Tcngue river 1 west of Sheridan , Four townships wo o burned over nnd the town of Rockweed was wiped out. The tie camp of McShane & Co. , together with n number of sawmills and a large number of railroad ties and lumber 1 wore destroyed. When the fire wns fi st dis covered Superintendent of Forest Reserve's ' Qarbutt nt once cent riders Into the timber to notify the tie-choppers there. This proved to be a very wise move , for the tlo- choppers barely had tlmo to escape death i in the flames.

PROPAGANDA WORK IN NEWSPAPERS Crj tlmt of North In Muting ntiil liitctuln In Con trol mill Vtnu'v Ml America. MCXICO CITY , Sept , 10. Private advices from Urazll show thnt the government here has been gtcitly Influenced by the accounts regarding the alleged secret Understanding between the Bolivian and the United States government by which the latter power wrts to take over the territory on the tii p ? Ama/on claimed by Uollvla , a region rich In rubber. II U alleged In Illo do Janclio that American naval officers have rcc ) i- noltorcd nnd roughly surve > ed the reg.on and sent their sucrat reports to Washington. It was at first charge. ! that Mr. Hrjan , United States minister to Ilrnzll , was a pa ty to the agreement with Dollsl.i , but It la now said the Uollvla secret agent named Uthoff made the agreement with the United States consul at Para. There Is BO mo doubt Kb ut this , but such Is the belief of the Brazil an newspapers and people , and the Argent no press has begun , Instigated by Europeans , to bet up the cry that the colossus ot the north Is moving southward and Intends to conlr 1 and ultimately annex all South America , and so dllllgint has been the prop aganda of this story that the newspapers in Mexico of tlio clerical strlpo have taken It up editorially , predicting the absorption of all this hemisphere by the greed ) and land- hungry Americans who are acquiring lauds In Liriult and Peru and who will itcou bo able to afford the Washington government a pictcxt for attempting to overthrow the South American governments. I The Uucnos Ayrcs Standard , controlled bv British subjects , asserts that President Hoca's \lslt to Brazil was to consult with the president of that country with a view rf mutual defense against the Yankees. There Is no doubt that the Spanish and European governments have given their organs In Latin-America the hint to publish articles designed to embitter South and Centrat America against the United Slates and its people nnd break up the growing sentiment In favor of Pan-Americanism , which Is greatly dreaded by European commercial In terests so strongly Intrenched In South America , where Amcrkan Interests have fmv newspaper champions and defenders. It is shrewdly calculated that by shrewd news- piper attacks on the United States that Americans can bo gotten Into high disfavor and concessions will bo refused them. The Journey of William McElroy Curtis , formerly of the bureau of American repub lics , to Peru and Hollvla la reported to be In the nature of a secret mission for his gov- cinment. There Is a piofoundly suspicious sentiment developing In Latin America re-1 gardlng the designs of tlic United States , whoso power is dreaded and whose adm.n- Istrntlon Is accused of cherishing Imperial istic projects on this continent. The remarkable unanimity nf the Mex- lean clerical sheets and the South American Journals of all classes In dealing with this matter makes It clear that it Its a pre arranged campaign with a v ew to exciting Ill-will against the Americans of the great republic of North America.
