MANILA WAS SURRENDERED MAY I.
DEWEY VINDICATED.
The Admiral Declares That the Gov-
ernor General Capitulated When
the Fleet Was Destroyed.
Admiral Dewey made a statement
before the Senate committee on the
Philippines concerning tne early oper-
ations at Manila when he was in com-
mand of the American naval forces
in Philippine waters. It consisted of
a positive statement that the city had
been surrendered to him at the time
that the Spanish fleet was sunk. May
1. Admiral Dewey said emphatically
that he never had recognized Aguin-
aldo’s government, as he had no au-
thority to do so, nor did he consider
it orgarized, nor did he salute Aguin-
a2ldo’s flag. He never called Aguin-
aldc “general,” but addressed him as
Don Emilio. He said the Spaniards
were fearful of the Filipinos enter-
ing Manila, and therefore surrendered
to him in advance. Had he men then
he would have accepted. He said there
was no need for the loss of a man in
the capture of the city. No gun
would have been fired but for the de-
sire of the governor, who said his
honor demanded that a few shots be
fired, “so I had to fire and kill a few
people,” said the admiral, but the
Spaniards did not fire because he
(Dewey) had warned them not to do
£0. It was a surrender, and if I had
kad with me 5,000 troops with which
tc occupy the city I could have taken
it and held it. The governor general
sent word to me several times that
he wanted to surrender to me—to the
navy. I could not entertain his propo-
sition of a formal surrender because
of the lack of troops to take posses-
sion of the city. The admiral said
that after Aguinaldo got his forces
organized he occupied Cavite, but
when he (Dewey) learned that Amer-
ican troops were expected to arrive
scon he asked the Filipinos to retire.
They at first demurred, but ultimately
consented. It was after this, on July
§, that Aguinaldo sent to him from
Baccoor his first proclamation of the
independence of the Philippines. “That
proclamation,” said the admiral, “was
the first intimation 1 had received of
the aspiration of the Philippine peo-
rle for an independent government.
When the proclamation came I at-
tached so little importance to it that
1 did not cable it to Washington, but
left its transmittal to the mails.”

GREAT SHOCK TO BRITISH PUBLIC
KING STRICKEN DOWN,
Operation Performed Upon Monarch
Saves His Life for a Time—Grav-
est Fears Entertained.
King Edward is not .. expected to
survive. All preparations for the cor-
onation festivities in London were
abandoned Tuesday for an indefinite
time. The serious condition of the
king is the result of an operation per-
formed upon him Tuesday afternoon
for appendicitis. A large abcess was
evacuated. His majesty bore the oper-
ation well. The chances for his ulti-
mate recovery are not hopeless. The
news fell upon London with the force
and suddenness of a lightning stroke.
Nothing in the history of the empire
has ever equaled the dramatic force
of it. Everybody with a flag had flung
it out from a window or doorway. Now
everybody is praying that the life of
the king may be spared. There is no
further talk of festivities. All pro-
grams have been abandoned. Sunday
week, when the king was suffering
from the first acute seizure at Alder-
shot, Sir Francis Laking, the king's
physician, diagnosed it as intestinal
trouble. Doctors Treves and Barlow
were immediately summoned and con-
firmed Sir Francis Laking’s diagnosis.
Doctors Treves and Barlow advised
the abandonment of the coronation,
but the king was obdurate, and in;
sisted on removal to Windsor, taking
all responsibility on himself if they
could tide him over the coronation,
and promising to submit to an opera-
tion as soon after as required. On this
understanding a week's rest at Wind-
sor was arranged, but the king has
been suffering excruciating agony, and
had to be freely drugged. Monday
morning Queen Alexandra and the
Prince of Wales implored him to re-
frain from venturing to London, but
the king would not be denied, believ-
ing the postponement of the corona-
tion a national calamity. He virtu-
ally sacrificed himself in an effort to
save his subjects from loss and dis-
appointment. Soon after the opera-
tion the physician’s bulletin was is-
sued and the following announcement
was made public: “The earl marshal
Las received the king’s command to
express his majesty’s deep sorrow that,
owing to his serious illness the cor-
onation ceremony must be postponed.
All celebrations in London will, in
consequence, be likewise postponed,
but it is the king’s earnest hope that
the celebrations in the country be held
as already arranged.” The king ex-
pressed the desire that the lord mayor
see that the coronation dinner to Lon-
don’s poor should be given. The physi-
cians say it will be some days before
it is possible to say that King Edward
is out of danger.
The following bulletin was issued
from Buckingham palace, London,
Friday midnight: “His majesty’s
cendition is in all respects satisfac-
tory. The king has had a comfortable
day, and has made substantial im-
provement. It is believed that the
king’s condition is so much improved
that the worst danger is past.
$15,000,000 WORKING CAPITAL.
Constituent Companies of American
Steel Foundry Took Stock.
The American Steel foundries, or-
ganized under a New Jersey charter,
will issue for additional working capi-
tal $15,000,000 6 per cent cumulative
preferred stock, and the same amount
of common stock. The contituent
ccmpanies declined to accept any cash
payment, but took stock instead, thus
reducing the cash requirements con-
siderably. These were guaranteed by
Charles M. Schwab and Elbert H.
Gary, president and chairman respec-
tively, of the United States Steel Cor-
poration, and Max Pam. Joseph E.
Schwab, of Pittsburg, is slated for the
presidency.
Armor Plate Defective.

the test therefore was not a success-
ful one.
Knights of St. John in Session.
At the annual meeting of the
Knights of St. John at Rochester, N.
Y., Supreme President Fries, said that
the recommendation for biennial con-
ventions would probably be adopted.
During the year 19 new commander-
jes, five new cadet commanderies, and
nine women’s auxiliaries have been

double the amount at first estimated.
Besides William Severns, who was
killed, Mrs. John Dryer, a Mrs. Styer
and John Day were dangerously in-
jured, while several others sustained
less serious hurts.
Will Curtail Production.
The order of the sub-districts of the

FILIPINO CITIZENSHIP.
The Government Declares Policy Con:
cerning It in Paper Filed in Dis
trict Supreme Court.
What amounts to an official pro
rounciamento of the position of the
administration on the question of citi-
zenship in the Philippines, pending
further legislation, was filed in the su-
preme court of the District of Colum-
bia. Tuesday. It is in the form of an
answer to the rule of the court to show
cause why a mandamus should not is-
sued requiring John R. Young, clerk of
the court, to allow Antonio M. Opisso
y de Ycaza, recently an inhabitant of
the Philippines, to declare his citizen-
ship intentions before Mr. Young as
clerk, as petitioned by the Filipino.
The answer prepared by United States
District Attorney Gould and approved
by Attorney General Knox points out
that Congress has not yet determined
the civil rights and political status
of the Philippine inhabitants; that
the petitioner is not included in any
class.of persons authorized by law to
declare their intentions to become citi-
zens of the United States, and that the
defendant, Young, is without any au-
thority to receive such declaration.
The answer also says it is assumed
that the petitioner intended to re-

HATHAMITE SUCCESSFUL.
Experiments With New Safety Ex-

A test was made near Cleveland of
a new explosive known as “Hatha-

demonstrated by pounding the ex-
plosive upon an anvil until the sparks
flew, throwing it upon burning fire,
placing it in a tin box and firing rifle
bullets through it. The explosion can
only take place when a dynamite per-
cussion cap is used. Some of the ex-
plosive was next frozen into a cake
of ice and exploded. Circular pieces
two inches in diameter were blown
from 3-16th boiler plate, cutting the
plate clean, one and one-half ounces
of the explosive being simply placed
upon the plate and detonated in the
open air. A one-pound regulation
army shell was exploded within a

SUE FOR $14,050,000.
{Claim Made on Old Mexican Grant in
Beaumont Oil Field.
Suit for $14,050,000 was filed’ at
Beaumont, Tex. against practically
every company and operator and well
owner on Spindle Top. . There are
seven plaintiffs, and they claim title
under a Mexican land grant of 1835
to Pelham Humphries, a colonist from
Tennessee, to a three-quarters inter-

Boycott Cemetery and Jail.
Probably the first time in the his-
tory of organized labor a cemetery
and a jail have been boycotted at
Baldwinsville, N. Y. The boycott has
been declared by the Painters’ union,

village. The trouble first arose be-
cause the cemetery fence was painted
Ly a non-union firm. The second be-
cause the village trustees let the con-
tract for painting the jail to a non-
union man.
Rioters Resume at Pawtucket.
Street cars were stoned and ob-

MINERS SEEMED DETERMINED.
Leaders Say Strikers Are Not in Want
and the Struggle Will Con-
tinue Indefinitely.
The local operators at Wilkesbarre
and other points seem to be a unit in
saying that a break in the strikers’
ranks may come. any time. This be-
lief is based on reports which the
operators claim to have received from
many sources that the families of the
strikers are in want. The beginning
of the eighth week of the miners’
strike shows no change in the situa-
tion. John Fallon, in charge while
President Mitchell is absent in the
West, said that the miners were just
ag determined as ever, and unless
there was arbitration the strike was
destined to go on. The National
board members also denied that there
was any suffering among the strik-
ers. He said so far there was no pri-
vation, and not likely to be any for
a long time to come. The losses dur-
ing the seven weeks of the coal strike
ending June 28 reach the enormous
sum of over $40,000,000. As estimated
the principal losses are: Loss to
operators in prices of coal (normal),
$17,730,000; loss to mine workers in
wages, $8,800,000; loss to employes
other than miners, made idle by the
strike, $2,195,000; loss to business
men in coal region, $5,500,000; loss
te business men outside region, $3,-
500,000; cost of maintaining coal and
iron police, $480,000; cost of main-
taining non-union workers, $115,000;
estimated damages to mines and ma-
chinery, $1,800,000; total, $40,520,000.
President Mitchell’s Chicago visit
may mean that that officer is in the
West to confer with the five broth-
crhoods of trainmen in an endeavor
tc enlist their cb-operation in the
strike.
Five of the men employed at the
Glenwood colliery of the Erie Com-
pany at Mayfield, near Scranton, were

Quinn during the strike melee. The
prisoners gave their names as Edward
and Charles Kane, Edward Shopland,
Frank Dohrer and Michael Kearney.
At a hearing before ’Squire McGov-
ern they were each held in $500. Gen-
eral Manager May, of the Erie com-
pany, became their bondsman.
