iMINNKAPOLIS , July 15. The Times to
morrow will > ay : General C. McC. Ilceve
does not glvo much credence to the lecontly
published report of filctlon between Ad
miral Dewey and the authorities at Wash
ington , lie pays that Dewey Is far too big
a man to allow himself to bo placed at a
disadvantage , ibut at the same time says
that the admiral's advice relative to alfalrs
In the Philippines has been entirely Ignored.
Admiral Dewey advlbed the government to
enlist u natlvo Philippine corps and officer
them from the regular army. This sugges
tion was not adopted , notwithstanding the
fact that a similar course Is Invatlably pur
sued by all civilized nations in their wnrfaie
against baibnrous or semi-barbarous people.
Ho also advised that local self-government
be conceded wherever possible and hero
again Washington overruled his suggestion.
Naturally the Wahhlngton officials wore
unwilling to have the people know that they
had lefuscd to follow Dowey's aihlcn and
accordingly the matter was kept quiet. No
ono In authoilty , fiom the president down ,
had any wish to appear antagonistic to the
admiral's opinions. Everyone seemed to ro-
allze that In the cyee > of the American pcoj-c
his word had weight and they did not want
to run their heads against a Htono wall.
Consequently his message was never made
public and General Otis , the administration's
pet , was allowcU to blunder along us ho
plctibcd.
AH an Instance of how llltlo attention
Admiral Dewcy pa > s to the Interference
with his work occasionally attempted by
the Navy department General Reeve told n
story which was current at Manila before ho
left that city. Ho did not , however , vouch
for the truth of the Incident. The admiral ,
It seems , had purchased sonic n hero a laige
quantity of coal , a much laigcr quantity ,
In fact , than the Navy department officials
thought ho needed They Immediate ! ) cabled
him demanding to know for what purpose
the coal had been bought. The answer was
tcrso and unsatisfactory. Dcwey simply re
plied. "To burn , " and let It go ut that ,

LONDON. July 15. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram ) The count
ess of nsscx had been very aerlously 111 and
was to have gone home1 to rest. She was
suffering from severe nerve exhaustion , but
the last moment the earl hoard from a friend
that the countess was dlug , so ho arranged
to have the doctors put her thiough a cure
at her own house In London , which had
been cleared of all other occupants , and two
hospital nurses will do everthing for Lady
Usscv , Instead of her own servants. She
will not bo allowed to read , write or hear
any I.CWR nor speak to anbody but the
doctors nnd nurses for n month or six vviaks.
Her mother , Mrs. Reach Grant , Is now quite
alone in Paris , the other daughlei , Mrs ,
Pndelford , having gone to Switzerland Mrs.
Padclford has taken a flat In London and
made It very pretty bcforr she left with
flno furniture and knick-knacks. She still
wcais deep mourning , vvhlou suits her very
well.

Mr. and Mrs. Tony Drcxel gave n grand
dinner the other night In a private room at
the Savo.vThe table was exquisitely dec
orated with roses and rose-shaded lights.
A spi'Clal band was provided. The hostess
was In whlto nnd looked handsome She
\.oto a ilvlcro ot diamonds composed of
enormous white stones of Immense value.
Among the guests were Mrs. Mackay , Mia.
Ronalds and Mrs. Donyngc
huelHynprculntcn Mm. Mnuknj.
Mis. Macknj's return to society Is greatly
appreciated , for she enjojs real popularity
among n host of friends for her charming
manner and kindliness. The other day she
entertained Princess Louise , when she also
had Ambassador and Mrs. Choatc , Lord and
Lady Montstophon , Mr. and Mrs William
Duer and Mrs. Bradloj-Maitln. Cvor > thins
was served on massive sllvci and thu decora
tions were roses , which the Princess Louise
greatly likes Mrs. Mackoy specially Intro
duced Mrs. nradleMartin to the princess.
Mrs. Mackay Is evidently doing the best eho
can for her.
The most exciting topic of smart society
this riiomcnt Is the prlnco of Wales' de-
pal turo from his annual custom of nta\InR
with the duke of Richmond at the Goodwood
house with a grand party for the Goodwood
race week. The duke of Richmond feels the
prince's icfusal keenly , but the truth is that
the duKo's parties , though very splendid and
stately , bored the prince and last ) oar he
swoic he would never go there again At
Cannes this winter the prlnco told Mrs.
Willie James that ho would like to stay with
her this year Instead of Goolwood , she beln ?
thcprlncessof Wales' favorite friend. She did
not encourage the suggestion lest she mlsnt
be asked to invite people to meet the prince
of whom the princess would not nppiovo.
Dut some few weeks ago the prlnco wrote
reminding her of his Intention and said In
the letter : "I am an old man now and must
be amused. " Mis. Janice could not refuse ,
but immediately , to avoid complications , she
filled up her house party and sent a Ihr to
the prince , who accepted thdm as they
stood though he must have seen that his
hostess bad stolen a march on htm. In the
mpantlme , the prlnco got Lord \lgernon
Lenox , the duKe of Richmond's eon , to In-
foim him of his proposed stay at VYs' Dean
with the James' and the duke , chaerlned
at the prince's desertion , was furious. The
message , should have been sent through a
thiia party. However , tbo duke wrolu a very
dignified letter to the prince saying "he was
sony the tic which had lasted KO Ions ; l > c-
tw eel. them should be broken and he ti listed
the prince would have a very pleapa it vlft. "
The prlnco replied expiessliiK his sorrow
that iMrs. James had pressed htm so haul
to stay at her house , ho could not lefuso ,
which annoscd the duke atlll moro deeply ,
as ho know the visit was entirely the
prlnco's proposition. Mis. James' guetts
will Include the duke and duchess of Dovon-
whlro , his mother Helen , Lady Foibes , hei
cousin ; Countess Dudley and Geoiglna
Countess Dudle ) , Lord and Lady Wohciton ,
Lord und Lady Stosward , Loid and Lady
Curzon , In fact , quite an Irreproachable
family party. Mrs. Gcotge Keppel , with
her husband , hab taken a house jn the
neighborhood and the prince will no doubt
see a good ilcul of hei as well ns of M'lle.
Fougcies , the wctty Amoilcnn , who was
launched Into society by the Daioncss Hoff
mann and has been greatly admired by the
prince. The duke nnd duchess of Marl-

and Lord Sallsburj have been deeply de
voted to each other throughout a long mar
ried life. Ho Is sadly allllctcd. It Is full )
believed that bis wife's death will make him
offer his icslgnntlon to the quean , though
the latter Is not likely to accept It , espe
cially In view of the ttouble with the Trans
vaal , In connection with which Salisbury Is
the principal obstacle to the fulfillment of
Chamberlain's warlike Inclination. Per
sonally Salisbury Is a high tpe ot the
Kngllsh statesman and nobleman. He main
tains the dignity of a gioat position without
ostentation or dlbplay. He has never used
his vast patronage for the benefit of his own
Immediate family and being a firm believer
In the light of the arlstocrac ) to govein ho
has always , even with imprudent candor at
times , given It expression. Slnco GHd-
stonc's retirement lie Is much the greatest
figure ot English public life and his re
tirement , when U conies , will leave a gap
that cannot be filled.
