HAVANA. Way 21. The contlnuanco ot
the Ilghlcrmen'fl Mrlko Is causing serious
Inconvenience to shipping. The great In
rush of vc'srls , unable to unload , finally
led Collector llllsg to cable Surgeon General
Wyman. asking permission to lay the ves-
iiclii nt the wharves. The surgeon general
replied thnt tti ! might be done botwccn
Ln iMachlnn nnd Caballcrla , but only be
tween tin so wlmrvcs. Outside these limits
the American sanitary rcgulntlons prohibit
the landing of vessels owing to the filth
which the sewers dcpcnlt nlong the harbor
shores. Nine hundred lighter men nre In
volved In the strike. They admit they have
been earning $00 per month , and the differ
ence between thorn and their employer Is
smnll. They refused n proposal to eubmtl
the matter to arbitration.
Thn Munson steamship line Is the only one
not affected , that company having Its own
llghtcm and men. The police and military
guards at the wharves have been Increased
and Commodore U. J. Cromwell , captain of
the port of Havana , has ordered the
marines to hold themselves In readiness.
General Maximo Gomez has received a
telegram from General Sanchez In Santiago
province , saying : "Division will not accept
money. " Ho has replied : "Will use every
effort compatible with dignity and honor. "
The Havana papers consider this answer
cvaslvo and the Cubans generally , especially
those belonging to the fighting divisions ,
which are chiefly westerners , say tha t mr t
of the soldiers will accept the money , as
$7" > l better than nothing. Probably there
will bo n largo attendance on the first pay
ment , ns well ns upon those thnt follow. A
member of the staff of Gomez snld todny
that not more than 20 per cent would re
fuse when the money was actually In eight.
Hnvunn today lies been alive with flags
In honor of tile queen's birthday and all
the ships In the harbor have been gaily
decorated. The banquet tonight nt the
Hotel Inglnterra was attended by eighty
tcprcscntatlvc people nnd passed off with
great enthusiasm , Addresses were made by
Governor General Brooke , Major General
LudloW , Scnor Federlco Morn , supreme
court fiscal ; Senor Perfecto Lacoste , the
mayor , nnd others.
Major General Fltzlmgh Leo will deliver
the Decoration day address over those who
died nnd nro burled at Camp Victoria. The
victims of the Malno disaster will receive
appropriate honors In the morning and the
Seventh corps ceremony will tnko place In
the afternoon.
Ono of the objects of the meeting on
Juno 1 between the govenior general and
tdo department commanders Is to promote
unity ot action In dealing with similar slt-
untlon In the various provinces. For In
stance , Genernl Carpenter , military gov
ernor ° f the Department of Puerto Principe ,
has never conferred with the governor gen
eral nnd Major Gcncrnl Wood of the Santi
ago department has bad only ono confer

The highest temperature reached today

NEW YORK , May 24. A dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Hong Kong
quotes Admiral Dewey ns saying on board
the Olympla : "Tho courtesy of these visit
ors I warmly appreciate , but I am too much
worn out and elck to receive them. I am
sorry to leave Manila at this time. I could
not stand the care nnd rteponslblllty much
longer. It Is vastly easier sometimes to bo
under orders than to Issue them.
"It Is the responsibility that kills. During
the year that has elapsed since wo canio to
Manila I have not had one sick day until
now. A year Is long enough In this climate
for an old man and 1 am glad to be per
mitted a rest. On this account I expect to
remain In Hong Kong tw'o weeks. That
| ought to recuperate me. My Intention Is to
spend the time at Victoria Peak , where I
hope to be absolutely free from worry. No
body Is more sensible of the kindness ot the
people who have extended me Invitations ,
but 1 do not wish for entertainment. My
health would not stand It at present. Two
weeks of perfect quiet at the peak ought to
make a new man of me.
"I have the greatest enthusiasm In the
future of the Philippines. I hope to BOO
America's possessions the key to Oriental
commerce and civilization. The brains ot
our greet country will develop the untold
agricultural and mineral richness ot the
Islands.
"Wo must never sell them. Such an net
would bring another great war. We will
never part , with the Philippines , I am sure' ,
and In future , years the Idea that anybody
should have seriously suggested It will be
ono of the curiosities of history.
"The Insurrection Is broken. There will be
no more hard battles and the new era for the
Islands that was temporarily delayed by the
rising will soon begin. Agulnaldo and his
generals must be captured and then the very
semblance of an Insurrection will cease.
"Tho Olympla will go home leisurely. I
want all my officers and men to get the
greatest benefit of all the slops wo make.
Wo will pick our places with this In mind.
They have earned a rest by a year of steady
duty without respite *
"While I am glad to be going homo , I
cannot leave Manila without regrets. There
have been many pleasant occurrences among
the months ot harassing responsibility , and
we will not forget them. "
SurRi-oii oil Vevfcy'm Health.
WASHINGTON. May 24. Burgeon J. E.
Page of Admiral Dewcy's flagship , the
Olympla , has arrived hero on leave. Ho
came ahead ot the Olympla to avoid the
long delays of the sail via the Suez canal.
Surgeon Page has been on the flagship over
since Dewcy took command , seeing him dally
and having general charge of medical af
fairs , .so that he Is In a position to give
aa. Intelligent view of the admiral's health
and general condition. Ho sold today :
"Admiral Dewey Is In no sense a sick man ,
but Is as weN as any man could be after
spending n year In the tropics. I was on
the Olympla at the time he came aboard
and from that time to the present I do not
believe there has been any appreciable
change In his appearance , weight or general
condition. Anyone who thinks ho Is a phy
sical wreck should hear 'the ' admiral on the
quarter deck when ho gets aroused. He Is
the gentlest man living , and yet ho expects
every man to do his exact duty , and when
there Is any shortcoming the admiral will
be heard from In no feeble or sickly man
ner. Of course , everyone In the fleet has
suffered In health more or less In the last
year , owing to the terrlftc and long sus
tained heat and the enervating climate. It
takes all the rife out of a strong man , kills
his energy and ambition. In that way
Dewey suffered with all the rest of us. It
was particularly arduous doing blockade
duty , when for long stretches no man could
get ashore. "
Surgeon Page was asked If Admiral
Dewey's responsibility had not weighed
heavily on him.
"I think not , " ho answered , "and I be
lieve It will be found that he has Just as
much narvo as the morning he fought the
battle of Manila bay. Ho Is a man who
carries responsibility lightly and does not
lot It break him down. On the morning of
the battTe he was perfectly cool and only
once 'throughout the action did ho show
signs ot excitement. That was when the
head gunner reported that our ammunition
was running short. This wan about the time
wo pulled off for breakfast and It had a
rather depressing effect. But It was quickly
offset when the ofllccr of the deck reported
that the Rclna Christina and Castalla were
( afire. That was the turning point and the
admiral had no anxiety after that. "
Asked If ho had prescribed for Dewey of
late. Surgeon Page said :
"No , ho has no need for prescriptions.
During the last year he has not once nskcd
for a prescription or taken medical advice ,
except In a casual way. If ho wonts any
thing ho sends down to tbo ship's apothe
cary and gets It. His habits are so regular
that he needs little or no medicine. His
smoking and drinking are In perfect modera
tion. He eats well and sleeps well , and It
Is one of the recognized offences on board
ship to tramp heavily over tbo admiral's
cabin after he has retired. "
"It has needed a pretty calm man at the
head of affairs , " said Surgeon Page when
asked as to the report ! ) of friction with the
Gorman navaj officers. "I know nothing of
any differences , but we all felt that much
reliance was to bo placed on the admiral's
tact and conservatism as a means of avoid
ing any possible difference. Throughout the
fleet he was universally admired , not only
as a naval commander , but for bis states
manship and discretion. "
Welcome * to WiiitlittiKton.
WASHINGTON , May 24. Preliminary
steps have been taken by the Washington
Hoard of Trade for a welcome to Admiral
Dewey on his return to this city. The
District commissioners have been requested
to appoint a committee of citizens to take
charge of the matter and also to represent
thci District In all questions pertaining to
the reception of the admiral on his return
to this country and to the capital. The
board also Indorsed the movement to pre
sent to Admiral Dewey a suitable perma
nent home In this city ,
HARMLESS NEGROES BEATEN
"Laborer * * " Ilnml OriranlxeM to Drive
Colored Operatives Out or
the Country.
GRIFFIN , Ga. . May 24. The flogging of
three colored operatives ot the Ktncald mills
on Monday night by whltecaps has led to
aeiifatloual development ! . Last night an
other negro was taken from his house and
severely beaten and cut. The negroes are
citizens. Today the suotria-
Kndent ncd others nt the Klncald mills were
notified to reave at once or they would bo
"dealt with. " It now transpires that there
has befn i club formed here known ns the
"Laborers' Union band , " with the purpose
of driving the negroes out of the country.
The band has nbout 500 members , a largo
number of whom are boys under age. At
a recent meeting of this mob It was sug
gested that the boys bo turned out , as they
knew no better thnn to sell out for money.
At 'bis the boys threatened their fathers
on I promised to reveal everything. The
yutipg criminals , by reason of their courage ,
remained within the ranks ,
Upon orders from the governor , the Griffin
Rifles nre In their armory awaiting orders
from Judge Hammond to proceed to the
factory. The mayor has boon reliably In
formed that If the men go to the factory
there will be trouble In the city tonight. He
has ordered nil the police on duty through
out the night ,
DEMOCRATS WILL TRY TO WIN

ST. LOUIS , -Mny 24. "Ways , means and
methods of conducting the next presidential
campnlgn will be conMdbrcd by the demo
cratic conference at the Planters' betel to
morrow , It Is not expected thnt much
other matter will come before the meeting ,
nnd no definite action of nny sort will betaken
taken unless a majority of Hie members
of the committee la present and whether
n sufficient number will be In attendance
Is problematical.
Ex-Governor Stone of Missouri , who Is
sued the call for the meeting , has received
twenty-eight favorable reports. Two of
these have been withdrawn nnd proxies for
warded. This leaves but twcnty-elx mem-
burs of the committee as an outsldo num
ber to bo present at the meeting and the
democratic leaders ore not ovorsangulne
tonight that they will have this number , or
oven twcnty-throo , which would constitute
n working majority of ttic committee. If
a quorum Is secured It Is altogether likely ,
according to Commlttceman Gahan ot Illi
nois , that the meeting will bo resolved Into
a formal session ot the national committee
and some definite action taken. Otherwise ,
there will be nothing but an Informal con
ference regarding the best methods of con
ducting the campaign. Only three com-
mtttccmcn arc In the city tonight Woodson
of Kentucky , Gahan of Illinois and Stone of
Missouri.
It Is generally understood that "anti
trust" will be the rallying cry for the de
mocracy , with "anti-Imperialism" a close
second , and " 16 to 1" not entirely discarded ,
but kept In third place. As ono of the lead-
crc of the party expressed It , "anti-trust"
and "anti-Imperialism" will be the salt
and pepper with which wo will flavor " 16
to 1. "
There have 'been ' countless rumors floating
around to the effect that silver Is to be en
tirely discarded and that so far aa Missouri
Is concerned Bryan Is to toe shelved In favor
ot William J. Stone of .Missouri. This Mr.
Stone positively denied today , saying that
ho would go Into the next convention to
work for Mr. Bryan and that the -Missouri
delegation would vote solidly for Mr. Bryan's
nomination.
Commlttceman Gahanwas , closeted for
three hours today with Mr. Stone , urging
the claims of the Harrison Action In Illinois ,
as against that headed by. ex-Governor Alt-
gold. The Harrison men deeply resent the
action of the democratic national committee
In the endorsement It gave Attgeld In the
mayoralty campnlgn this spring and was
very stiff In urging that Altgold bo removed
from the advisory committee of the national
committee , as ho did not reprcsant the regu
lar democratic organization , which the Harrison
risen men assert themselves to be.
It the conference should be resolved Into
a formal meeting of the national committee
tomorrow it Is probable that the resignation
of Messrs. Teller and Alien from the ways
committee will bo accepted. Both arc willIng -
Ing to get out and the other members of
the national committee are willing they
should.
It Is also reported that Chairman Jones
of the national commlttco will resign , but
this Is not confirmed. It Is known that
Senator Jones Is a sick man and his illness
Is of a nature that may prevent bis taking
an active part in the management of a
presidential campaign. If his resignation
comes his successor Is likely to bo WHHam
J. Stone of .Missouri , or J. G. Johnson of
Kansas , the present acting secretary of the
national commlttco.
The "anti-trust" banquet tomorrow night
promises to bo a most successful affair. All
available scats have been sold and an over
flow meeting has been arranged for. The
toasts will bo as follows :
"Why Wo Are Here , " Kon. Harry B.
Hawca.
Presentation of state and district banners
In the name of the district committee , Hon.
Champ Clark.
Acceptance of state banner , Hon. C. B.
Parrls.
Acceptance of district banner , Hon. M. B.
Bcnton.
"Trusts and Democracy , " M. C. Wetmoro.
"The Trust and Its Parents , " Hon. D. A.

"Monopolies , " William J. Bryan.
It Is expected that short talks will be
made by other distinguished democrats.

BUFFALO , N. Y. , May 24 , That the
harbor v IU be clear of grain-laden boats

diction confidently made by Contractor Con-
ncrs and elevator men tonight. With the

that the coal Tieavers on the Lehlgh and
Lackawanna docks would be at work again
tomorrow or Friday. They are the last of
the strikers to reach an agreement , all other
docks having 'been manned today.
The new Grain Shovelers' union was reor
ganized tonight under the direction of Mr.
Keofe. There was a stormy time. Some ono
claimed thai ono of the men named for re

zen , A free-for-all flght took place. In the
mldat of the light the curtain wns dropped
on Mr. Keefe's head , The pollce ttopped the

to the cabinet yesterday. MncArthur covers
ft period of time from the evening of Feb
ruary 4 , when the Insurgent outbreak began ,
to February 28. 'Ho gives a vivid picture of
the conditions prevailing In Mr.nlla nnd Its
suburbs during the exciting times that fol
lowed the Initiation of the Insurgent attack.
An Important , fenture of his report Is the
demonstration of the responsibility of the
Insurgents for the outbreak. Ho also speaks
In terms of the highest praleo of the splen
did qualities of American ofllcers and en
listed men.
General MacArthur's command was the
Second division of the Eighth army corps ,
which Included the Twentieth Kansas ( Fun-
ston's command ) nnd the Utah battery.
General MacArthur mentions nlso a llttlo
naval contingent In the shape of a Colt au
tomatic gun loaned by the Helen , manned
by Lieutenant Clclund Davis , who volun
teered with three marines.
Mnklng a brief statement ot the position
of the United States troops In Manila and
suburbs Just preceding thtj outbreak of
February 4. Geno.-al MacArthur comes to
the Incidents leading up to the rupture. He
says :
"Tho pertinacity ot the Insurgents In
passing armed parties over the lines of de
limitation Into American territory Induced
a correspondence which , In the light of sub
sequent events , Is Interesting as Indicat
ing with considerable precision a premedi
tated purpose on the part of somebody In
the Insurgent army to force a collision. "
General MacArthur addressed n note to
Colonel San Miguel of the Insurgent army.
The note , which has now become BO Im
portant , and the answer , are as follows :
Linen Miittt DC Observed.
Sir : The line between your command
and my command has beer long established
and Is well understood by yourself and my
self.
It is quite necessary , under present con
ditions , that this line should not be passed
by armed men of either command.
An armed party from ycur command now
occupies the village In front of block house
No. 7 , nt a point considerably more than
100 ynrla on my side of the line , ' and la wfj'
nctlvo In exhibiting hostile Intentions. This
party must be withdrawn to your Bldo of the
line at once.
From this date , If the flno ! s crossed by
your men with arms In their hands , they
must be regarded as subji'H to such action
as I may deem necessary. Very respect
fully , ARTHUR MACAHTHI'R ,
Major General , U. S. V. , Commanding.
SAN JUAN DEL MONTE. Feb. 2. Ma
jor General MacArthur : My Very Dear
Sir In reply to yours dated today , In which
you Inform mo that ray soldiers have been
passing the line of demarkatlon fixed by
agreement , I deslro to say that this Is for
eign to my wishes and I shall give Imme
diate orders In the premises that they le-
tlre. Truly yours ,
L. F. SAN MIGUEL ,
Colonel and First Chief.
Next came the disregard for the promise ,
which precipitated the outbreak , and this
Is described by General MacArthur In the
following language :
"At about 8:30 : p. m. , February 4 , an In
surgent patrol , consisting of four armed
soldiers , entered our territory at block house
No. 7 and advanced to the little village of !
Santol , which was occupied along the pipe '
line by the Nebraska outpost. The Ameri
can sentry challenged twice , and then , as
the Insurgent patrol continued to advance ,
ho fired , whereupon the patrol returned to
block house No. 7 , whence fire was Im
mediately opened by the entire Insurgent
outpost at that point. '
XehniNkniiH Under Fire.
"At 9 p. m. Colonel Stotsenburg of the
First Nebraska Infantry , U. S. V. , reported
considerable firing nt his outposts , which
extended gradually along 'tho entire front of
the division.
"At 10:10 : p. ra. It was evident that the
hostilities had been begun In earnest by the
Insurgents , and accordingly an order was
Issued from these headquarters to put everyi i
'thing ' on the firing line , according to a j
program which had been prearranged for
such on emergency. "
Continuing , the report shows that the
fighting progressed fiercely all night and' '
the next day the Insurgents were driven I
back from their wholn lino. The Tennessee '
regiment and the Sou'.h Dakota regiments !
are particularly mentioned as rendering good '
service. General MacArthur says :
"The combat wna characterized by a flno
display of bravery of the troops , who were I
essential to the final success achieved. " '
The affair of February 7 Is described as
nn outpost affair originating bstwccn oppos
Ing sentinels and ending with a hand-to
hand conflict between three and a half com
panies under Colonel Funston and Major
Metcalf and 200 insurgents. The latter
stood firmly and clubbed muskets and
bayonets were freely used , the result being
a complete rout of the enemy.
The plan of 'the attack on Caloocan Is
described In the report. The program Is
said to have been carried out with almost
exact precision , the tactical execution being
excellent and the resistance such as to re
quire the best efforts of nil concerned. Com
pany M of the Montana regiment Is cspc- '
dally mentioned for Its performance undeji' '
Major Delof some extra hazardous duty
In making a feint ,
Miu'Arthiir 1'ralNen N
Of the Nebraska regiment General Mao-
Arthur says :
"In consequence of Its advanced position
at the pumping station , the Nebraska regi
ment has been engaged In a series of minor
operations , which have resulted In a large
amount of arduous and dangerous work , all
of which has been cordially and well per
formed by this excellent regiment. "
The attempt of the natives within the city ,
assisted by tbo Insurgents outside , to rise
within the city of Manila on February 23 ,
Is described as a formidable movement ,
General MacArthur says the situation was
made embarrassing b'y the fact that a num
ber of Insurgent soldiers had succeeded In
getting back of the American lines and he
shows buw the Montana regiment , accom
panied by Major Mallory , materially aided
In suppressing the demonstration ,

"The supply of American soldiers engaged
In active field operations on thcso distant
shores with choice fresh beef from Aus
tralia , the very best quality of fresh vege
tables from the United States , together
with all other parts of the ration In abund
ant quantity and good quality , Is certainly
a Just cause for congratulation to all concerned -
corned , "
After taking the medical department Into
his chapter of commendation. General Mae-
Arthur speaks of the results of the work
of the American troops ns follows :
"Tho punishment Inflicted by the division
may bo estimated from the fact that oinclal
report has been made of the actual burial
of 374 Insurcents killed In nrtlon during
the month. The enomy's wounded were ns
a general rule successfully removed , so that
It Is Impossible to speak with any precision
In that respect , hut It Is assumed thnt three
wounded to ono killed Would bo n reasonable
estimate. "
The report concludes with special tribute *
to the enlisted men , first to general olllccrs
and lastly to the staff.

KANSAS CITY , May 24. A special from
San Francisco eays : Ilrlgadlcr General Mar
cus r. Miller , who reached San Francisco
from Manila Monday on the Sheridan , said
today In an Interview : "While all the BO-
dlcrs that have goneto Manila hnvo done
splendid service , the Twentieth Kansas regi
ment has received the greatest distinction.
Next to them I should ibo Inclined to put
the dotnchmcnt of the Third artillery. When
I arrived In Manila I applied to General
Otis for the Kansas regiment , hut someone j
had gotten ahead of me. They sent me the
Tennessee regiment Instead , and I never saw
braver fighting. Genornl Funaton mny bo
kept nt Manila for many months unless thejc
peace-making efforts are successful. At nny
rate there Is small likelihood of his getting
back here when his old command comes.
His work was little short of wonderful. "
TOPBKA , Kan. , May 24. General dissatis
faction Is expressed In Kansas over the
determination to muster out the Twentieth
Kansas with other regiments at San Fran
cisco. Elaborate preparations to welcome
home General Frederick Funston and his
gallant Kansans have been making and It
Is felt that If mustered out an the coast
the soldiers will not roach Kansas In a

There are signs of a southeasterly breeze

LONDON , May 24. ( New York World

statement has been made respecting the
queen's sight , but I hear thnt debutantes

majesty's sight Is not lost and not worse
than that of n majority of octogenarians.
The statement that Dr. Pagonstccher ex
amined her eyes when In London recently
Is obviously Incorrect , ns the queen was then

suited by the queen's oculist nnd on the ;

nALTIMORK. May 21 , Five hundred saloons -
loons of Ualtlmore , It Is estimated , will
quit business. Some of them hnvo nlrendy
closed their doors and others will follow.
The cause of the great shutdown Is the de
termination of the Maryland Drawing com
pany , which controls nearly nine-tenths of
the output of the city , to abandon tha prac
tice of paying for saloon licensed In order
to force Its product on the market. Last
year , on Mny 17 , nppllcatloiis for licenses
filed with the Hoard of Liquor License Com
missioners numbered 2,451. On the same
date this year only 2,291 applications bad
been tiled , a falling off of 1GO ,
In a circular Icsued by ( do Mnrylnnd

loon business ban not been legitimate In

to nt out saloons , buy licenses nt on ex
