WAS BEHIND ONE OF DEWEY'S GUNS JOHN WALSH PAID A VISIT TO SCRANTON YESTERDAY. Cnmo in. Search of His Brothor, Henry J. Walsh, and Was Relieved of All His Valuables by Some Unknown Porson Hod Chargo of One of tho Eight-Inch Guns on the Baltimore During tho Menioi ablo Engagement of Last May in Manila Bay. John Walsh, who worked one of the eight-Inch guns of the Baltimore at Manila last May when Admiral Dewey won the greatest naval victory In tho history of the world, was in the city yesterday and some graceless scamp vvn mean enough to relievo him of about all his earthly possessions. Walsh arrived In New York Thurs day as a member of the prize crew of the Spanish transport "Indravalll," which was captuied by Dewey after tho memorable battle of Manila bay. Tho vessel was loaded with all kinds of captuied war prlzeH and other things that Dewey wanted returned to tho states. The tiansport left Manila Nov. 27, ISPS, and the sailors who manned It were promised a good sized fui lough when they reached the land of the free and the home of the brave. Since the 'vessel left Manila many otlting events have occurred in tho far-off Philippines, and when the crew of the "IndravnlU" arrived In the port of .; w York last Thutsday they found ordeis telling them to leturn with all speed to Manila. They go on the ti ana port Sheridan, which sails this morning fiom New Yoik. LOOKING POU HIS BHOTI1UH. Gunner Walsh has been In the navy for thirty eats and has llsen to the position of chief gunner. He Is very proud of his position, It may bo added. Walsh Is a tall, broad-shouldeied, blue-eyed man, with heavy Iron gray hair. He looks like the manner of man who could bo depended upon in an emergency ana If he lo a fair typo of the men who stood behind Dewey's guns In Manila bay It Is no wonder the battle was shoit, slmip and deci sive. When AValsh landed Thuisday he hunted up his sister, who lesldes In Biooklyn, N. T, and from her learned that his bi other, whom he had not focn in seventeen eal, was- In this city, as she had lecelvcd a letter fiom him postmarked "Scianton, Pa." Walsh arrived heie late Monday night and yesteiday morning wont to the post office and hnd a talk with Deputy Postmaster Powell, with a view to getting a list of the Henry J Walhhs In Scranton for the purpose of aiding him In his seaich. He showed the de puty postmafitei his papeis and other matteus to piove that ho was what ho purports to be. While searching for hlb In other, s-onioono searched him, and to a pur pose, too. AValsh wiib In despair. It was. bad enough not to bo nblo to Hnd his brother, but to have hlsi all taken fiom him was distressing One thing that woirled him above cvetythlng else was the fo.it that he would not lie able to get back to Now Yoik today in time to get on the transport Sheridan before it sills, and that he would be considered a deserter. SIZNT BACK TO NEW YOHK. I'ei-ons who became Intetested In Walsh laid his case before General Manage! Hallstead, of the Delawaie, Lackawanna and Western companj, and he promptly said that Walsh should not lack a way of reaching New York while wheels were turning on the Delawaie, Lackawanna and Western road. Ho was put aboard one of the fnt trains on that load and reached Now Yoik at 0 o'clock last night. During a chat with a Tribune man, Walsh told of some of the exciting in cidents of that battle In Manila. He was one of nine men Injured on the Baltimore, but his hurt was not of a seilous nature. "When we left Nur't bay last April wo knew thete was stein woik ahead," said Walhh, "We didn't know exactly what it vvas, but when tho commander of a fleet visits his ships once or twice a day to examine guns and ammuni tion, you can depend upon It that some thing Is going to happen. The ofllceis said nothing, but when we saw the anxiety of Commodore Dewey about the condition of lighting parts of tho vospelH, we knew there was trouble ahead. "That night we stole Into the luulmr of Manila will never be forgotten bv those who were on the vessels. No one clept. Tivery man was at his sta tion, alert and vigilant. The daikness concerning what was going to happen was to us as Impenetrable as the dark ness that sunounded us but when day broke and we saw what was ahead of us we knew the kind of a day's work that was cut out for us, "That was n merciful act of Dewey's In giving the men a short recess dur ing the battle You see we had slept none during the night and had nothing to eat s-lnco 5 o'clock on the preceding evening. Wo were fighting alongside of red hot guns In a temperature that was one hundred and ten degrees In the shade so that jou can probably understand how exhausted we were. THOUGHT IT A DEFEAT. When tho men heard the order to withdraw most of them wore angry. They thought It was n defeat Soon the officers assured tho crews that It was all right that tho Spaniards were already more than half whipped und that wo would have an opportunity of going back to finish them. That pleas ed the men and silenced their com plaints.. "Dowey is the Idol of tho men who seive under him. Why? Tlrst of nil because he Is a gentleman and every man under him Is sure of just treat ment. The humblest man on any of his vessels Is always cure of a respectful heaihur." Concerning the piesent trouble at Manila Walsh bald: ' I believe that tho greater part of the present trouble Is caused by Span lards or Spanish sympathizers who want to cause all the trouble they can for Uncle Sam. They have no lovo for us; we saw that every day at Manila. They would dilve us all into the sea If they could." Walsh was one of tho men to whom was assigned tho hazardous task of removing the torpedoes from Manila harbor after tho battle. The supper w hlch was announced for Thursday evening at Elm Park church has been Indefinitely postponed.

The progress of the flames was check ed on the second floor. Most of tho damage done on that floor was due to portions of the flooring of the third story settling down upon It. The fact that the second door wns covered with asphalt was a gieat ally, If not the principal factor In arresting tho flames. Mr. Cuslck estimates the loss at J.T), 00P. Over fifty vehicles were stoied on the second floor unci half of them wore either totally .destroyed or so badly damaged that It will hardly pay to re pair them. Twenty-five of fhem were single carriages, fifteen, plngle sleighs; seven, double sleighs; four, wagons. Two of the carriages that were de stroyed belonged to W. P.

The result was that last night things were running very nearly per schedule.

The Delawaie and Hudson compare started a train lrom Carbondale and another from Wllkes-Barre at S o'clock. They fought their way thiough with th(J assistance of extra engineers, ploughs and shovelerf, and, once the road wus cleared, tiaflle was resumed on almost schedule time. Last night's ti.Uns were going through on time. Tho Jeisey Cential, Ontario and Western und Erie and Wyoming Val ley had about the same exoerlence as the Delawaie and Hudson. Street Commissioner O'Boyle had one hundred and fifty men at work shovel ing tho mow off the bridges, clearing ciosswalks and leveling clrlftb in the central city streets. Today he will at tack the huge mounds of snow that have been piled up In tho business por tion of the city and have them caited away. He expects all sidewalks and gutters on the business stieets to bo cleaied of snow befoio 9 o'clock this moinlng. Should tho gutters be blocked and a thaw come, no end of damage would lesult, he says. Labor was at a piemlum yesterday. Street Commissioner O'Boyle adver tised for 000 extra men, but was able to secure less than half that number. The street car company had a sign out all day announcing "Laborers Wanted." The railroad companies put to work every laborer that applied. The Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western com pany alone had seven hundred shovel ers at work.
