Washington, V. C (Special.) Admi ral George Dewey, before the senate committee on Philippines, again went on record as denying the statements that he had promised the Filipinos, through Agulnaldo, their independence. The first he had heard that independ ence was desired, was when Agulnaldo, on the 15th of July, Issued a proclama tion making that declaration. The admiral said that a month be fore he left Hong Kong for Manila he heard that a number of Filipinos living there were anxious to accompany his fleet, but he did not attach much im portance to them or what they said. A day or two before sailing he received a telegram from Consul General Pratt at Singapore, stating that Agulnaldo was very anxious to see him. I repliecVAll right. Let him come.,' '' continued Dewey, "but I attached. 00 little importance to Agulnaldo that ' did not wait for him. MANILA SURRENDERED MAY,!.; "The governor general of ManUo bor rendered to me on the 1st day if May. That's a fact not gentefly IrnoWn.

I never recognized his government. 1 "I nave sees) statement that l sa inted his flag. It is ridiculous. The German admiral 'asked me w hether I was going to allow the Filipino boats plying around the harbor to float what they called niiphjo flags. I replied that It waa nbthlng but a piece or bunting ; which represented nothing. That wag the end of it." Dewey said the Spanish governor general requested him to lire a few shots befere the town was turned over,, beenuae the army wanted It.

The conference com- mmee -was wstructea to noury me democrats of the choice of the populist convention. .- " ""A,.. Meanwhile the discussion of the de sirability of fusion bad been going on among the democrats as well. Five minutes after the populists had nomi nated Mr. Bryan and before the dem ocrats had been notified: ,of the nomi nation, Mr. Smyth, the , dernoeratlc nominee for governor, appeared'.before the populist convention and offered to withdraw in favor of anybody Who could be nominated by the two bodies. The proposition was greeted bk a chorus of "No! No!" The democrats! were notified of the nomination of Mry Bryan and the withdrawal of Hairing, ton. Mr. Smyth expressed to the dem ocratic convention bis willingness to withdraw or to stand, as might seem best to the convention. At 5 o'clock Mr. Bryan appeared be fore the conventions, and, after thank ing them for the proposed honor, said that it would be impossible for him to accept the nomination, for reasons al ready IDd publlo. He made & plea for fusion and harmony and a new bal lot was ordered. After five out of six counties In the democratic convention had cast their ballots for Mr. Harring ton that candidate announced that he bad withdrawn absolutely and asked the convention to nominate W. H. Thompson. Unanimous consent greet ed the proposition and Thompson was borne to the platform on the shoulders of his friends This action was made known to the populist convention, which after an adjournment for breakfast had recon vened at 9 o'clock. The eighth ballot of the populists result-id In the nomina tion of General P. H. Earry. This action was communicated to the dem ocrats, and the two" bodies -'wrangled over whether the Joint choice should be Thompson or Barry. - --" " r UNION IS REACHED. On the tenth ballot, at U o'clock, Thompson won in the populist conven tion, securing two-thirds of tbe vote. The nomination was at once made unanimous and an adjourn men t was taken to permit the conference, com mittee to agree on the? rest- of the ticket. This was accomplished at ' 2 o'clock and the fusion ticket aa agreed upon was adopted by both conventions. The fusion platform is the one adopt ed by the democrats. It indorse? the Kansas City platform and declares that platform has been vindicated by the events of the last two years. At tention Is called to the rupld growth of great trusts and monopolies since the election of 1900, and the republican party is denounced for "utter failure" to suppress them.
