The Hero of the Hour.
As Admiral Dewey is the hero
of tlie hour, some points about his
career and personal characteristics
ought to bo of interest to everybody
who is not a Spaniard or who is not
possessed of Spanish sympathies.
For the past nine years until lie as
sumed command last December of
the Asiatic squadron under his newly-
acquired rank of Commodore, he re
sided in Washington, held high offi
cial positions, and entered thor
oughly into the best life of the Capi
tal A characteristic Vermont
ankee, he possesses unusual traits
of popularity, and hundreds of inti
mate friends, prominent in every
high calling, will ilnd extraordinary
satisfaction in his great naval
achievement, that makes him the
foremost American of the day.
Commodore Dewey is known every
where as a lighter, lie comes of light
ing stock and was a lighter from boy
hood. II is father was a country phv
sician and a man of some means. He
is known as a very determined man
in all ins relations, but withal a polite,
alfable and congenial companion. In
personal appearance he is a little
under the medium height, stoekily
built, witli broad, heavy-set shoulders.
Ho has snappy, black eyes, gray hair
and moustache, and is always attired
in perfect apparel. Ho loves social
lite and is a member of tlio Army
and Navy Club, of which "Fighting
li"l ' hiuins is president.
Admiral Dowoy 1ms long been a
widower, his wife, who was a daugh
ter of (iovernor Uoodwin, of Now
Hampshire, having been dead about
twenty years. Ho has one sou,
tieorge ( food win Dowoy, who gradu
ated at Princeton in the class of Ib'.IG,
and is now engaged in business in
New York.
Naval ollicers say of Dowoy that
few men wore more familiar with
ships than he, although ho was not
distinctly a scioutillu olllcor. He al
ways kept hix ships neat, and in per
feet order, and was always ready to
light them. He came to Washington
in 18811 as chief of the liureau of
Equipment and Kecruiting. He
served for four years in that capacity
and when Mr. Cleveland came in for
the second term was appointed on the
lighthouse board. When Admiral
Selfridge was ordered to command
the Mediterranean squadron, Com-
inodoro Dowoy wus made president of
the board of inspection and review,
and had an opportunity to familiarize
himself in oyery way with tlio quail
ties of our modern war vessels.
J n politics he is an ardent ltepubll
can, having always supported tlio
principles of the Republican party.
Although, like most army and navy
olllcers, his political opinions were
not publicly paraded.
For some years his health has not
been the best, as ho hud a delicate
operation performed upon Id liver
when he was on the Asiatic station in
the later eighties. Ho had recovered

Army of Occupation in the Philippines,
and to Be Governor General.
WnHhinRton, May 12. Tlio army
movement on Cubit is now fairly
launched, ami there Is a concerted
effort all alons tlio lino to begin ag
gressive operations on n big scale for
the ejectment of tlio Spanish troops
find government from the pearl of the
Antilles. An order given yesterday
afternoon by the war department for
the purchase of r.,000,000 rations Is an
carnost of the scale on which prepa
rations are making for invasion of
Spain's territory. Of this vast quan
tity ono-fourth Is to go to tlio Philip
pines, by way of San Francisco, and
the balance to Cuba. Many bodies of
volunteers that wcro originally slated
for one of the great concentration
camps have found themselves sud
denly under orders to proceed direct
to southern points, so that soon vol
unteers from the east and middle west
will lie moving swiftly to Florida and
the gulf, while from the far west the
cars will he carrying troops to San
Francisco.
Contiary to expectations, tlio day
again passed at the navy department
without news from Admiral Sampson.
Notwithstanding what appear to bo
confirmatory newspaper advices rola
tlvo to the presence of the Spanish
Capo Vordo fleet nt Cadiz, tlio navy
department otllclals are beginning to
entertain strong doubt of the accuracy
of tlio report. It was not possible dur
ing the course of tho day to obtain
anything like an olliclal confirmation
of tho olliclal report received on Tues
day, hut this is not to he wondered nt
In view of the success which tho Span
ish government has so far met with In
keeping secret tho movements of Its
naval ships. Until news conies from
Admiral Sampson of his doings In
and around Porto Ilico It cannot bo
said definitely what program shall bo
decided on as regards that Island.
It has been suggested that somo of
tho troops now being hurried so rap
idly to tho gulf coast may bo Intended
to co-oporato witli Admiral Sampson
In tho reduction of the fortifications
at San Juan do Porto Itlco and tho
subsequent occupation of tho Island.
It is felt that tho admiral will bo in a
rather dlsagreeablo plight, supposing
oven that ho managed to reduco tho
forts with his fleet, If ho were obliged
to remain there In occupation of the
placo for lack of troops, when ho
might othorwiso bo urgontly needed
oltlior on tho Cuban coast or somo
whnro In tho Atlantic to moot tho
Spanish fleet.
Tho rovival of doubts as to tho
whereabouts of tho Capo Vordo squad
ron caused a renewal of anxiety as to
tho .Oregon. The ship was at Uahla
at hist accounts nml is holleved to
havo started n day or two ago up tho
Brazilian coast to join Sampson's
squadron In tho West Indies. She will
havo to mako a run of 3,000 mllos
which will occupy tho Oregou about
ten days only. It Is holleved that Ad
miral Sampson will do whatovor Is
necessary In his Judgment to safeguard
tho ship In her run up tho coast.
During tho past month tho bureau
of construction and repair of tlio navy
department spout $1,250,000 In tho re

Tho navy department folt obliged to
decllno tlio offer made by some
wealthy Now York jtonllomen, hoaded
by Mr. O. II. P. Helmont, to build and
equip a torpedo boat for tho use of tho
gnvernmont during tho war. Possibly
the declination was brought about
through tho condition attached to tho
offer that tho boat should be com
manded by Mr. llolmont, for without
tho least rolleetlon upon that gentlo
man the naval officials have been
obliged to decline to ostnhllsh tho pre
cedent of appointing civilians to com
mands In this way.

scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in udding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any mid

perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with

It not only shortens labor and lessens

Fort Monroe, Vn.. May 12. Commo
dore Wllifleld s. Si hl. y, commanding
the flylntf squadron, jesteidny for the
first time consented to give his views
upon the victory won by Admiral
Dewey at Manila. He said:
"Admiral Dewey's victory nt Manila
must deservedly take Its place side by
side with the cn-atest navy victories
of the world's history. It hns been
urged that the rrnults show such de
cided Inferiority in resistance ns com
pared with the vleor of attack that
there Is a diminution of the glory, but
that ts untrue, for il must llrst be re
membered Hint the greatness of
Dewey's success lies In the calm cour
afre and daring displayed In his de
cision to ontr n strange harbor, at
dark, under the guns of many forts and
braving the perhaps hidden torpedo or
mine,
"The preponderance of ndvantngo
was certainly with the enemy, and with
the grent dntlng displayed by Dewey
there must 'fall upon 1:1s shoulders the
mantle of Perry am Fnrragut. It Is
evident that, despite the gieat risk
every ollleer and every mnn knew was
being taTien, there was not a faint
heart In nil that squadron, but ail en
thusiasm and espiiit de corps that
could not but win with such n lender.
I would note, too, that superior educa
tion, which brings Intelligence, coupled
with perfection of marksmanship, aided
greatly In winning the day, and will, I
billeve. contribute to future victories.
Admiral Dewey and every man In his
squadron deserve every recognition
that a grateful people and a nation can
bestow."
The definite news of the leturn of
the Spanish Meet to Cadiz put new life
Into the squadron oitleers, who reallzs
that their presence on the const has
been the direct cause of the return of
the Spanish squadron to Its own ports.
The general belief is that the history
of Nelson will be repealed, and that
Spanish indignation may force the
f'pnulsh fleet to Hen, and Trafalgar be
repeated. livery officer Is now encour
aged to believe that Commodore Schley
will be allowed to display his acknowl
edged skill and daring In active battle.
