    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.

Ing to bo done. At the barracks In the old
Horticultural hall comfortable quarters have

located and large enough to make crowding
unnecessary. In the camp quarters have

1 tents , which are nil new , have all been
placed In position so that the veterans will
have only to move In their belongings whei
they arrive There are numerous eatl"g
houses on the grounds and these who do not
care to prepare their own meals will find
ample accommodations. Si pplles of all
j kinds , groceries , fruit anl everything neces
sary for the comfort of the \eterans while

ion has been made for'euppl > lng water , bother
/or the use of campers and stock. Scores ot

| an abundance of light.
A largo portion of the camp this > ear wilt
1 be devoted to concessions of different sorts.
Including sideshows and one or two attrac
tions from the Midway nt Omaha. All these
are private enterprises nnd an admission fee
will , of course , be charged. The scenic re
production of the battle of Manila , ar
ranged by the cltlreos' committee , will be

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.

Gustls , ambassador to France during the
second Cleveland administration and form
erly a senator from Louisiana , died at his
summer home in this city last night of
pneumonia. Mr. Eustis was taken ill on
Wednesday , but the local physician after an
examination thought the trouble to bo heart
failure.
The patient grew worse on Thursday , de
veloping symptoms of pneumonia , and on
Prlday there wns consultation of phy-
' siclans , who stated that there was bcarcely
any hope of recovery The end came to
night very peacefully. Mr. Kustls's son ,

in excellent health , devoting many houri to
n critical review of the Dreytiui case , In
which was embodied much valuable ma-
tcritl gathered during his rcsldcnco In

The extreme heat t > rofttrntcd Mr. Kustls
nnd nt the tlmo It wait attributed In part .
to overwork As ho had never been troubled
with his heart , no rucclal anxiety waa full
nt the prostration uf Mr. Kustl ? . nnd later I
ho Beemlnely iccovered his strength nnd
vigor , tt waa not until the occurrence of

From He rapidity with which dissolution [

i Nothing could be done toward lighting the

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.
