CONCEDE AUTONOMY.
Kew York, Aug. 22.- A dispatch to
the World from London gives ut some
length the London Daily News' re-
ported intervie / with Admiral Dewey
at Naples. According the correspond-
ent, Admiral Dewey began by saying
that he regarded I'avite a* the battle
which decided the fortunes of war in
favor of the Americans. He added:
'The Spanish ships fought well, r.11
the same."
The correspondent ashed hi n if the
Philippines were likely to be pacified
soon. The admiral replied: *'1 have
the question of the Philippines more
at heart than has any other American,
because I lenow the Filipinos intimate-
ly and tliey Know I am their friend.
The recent insurrection id the fruit of
anarchy which has so lorg reigned iu
the islands, but the insurgents will
have to submit themselves to it I
affirm that the Philippine question
will be very shortly solved. The Fili-
pinos are capable of governing them-
selves; they have all tlie qualifications
for it. It is a question of time, but
the ouly way to settle the insurrection
and insure prosperity to the archipel-
ago is to concede self-government to
the inhabitants. That would be a so-
lution of many questions and would
satisfy all, especially the Filipinos,
who bclitve themselves worthy of it,
and arc so. 1 have never been in favor
of violence toward the Filipinos. The
islands are at this moment blockaded
by a fleet, and war reigns iu the inter-
ior. This abnormal state of things
should cease. I should like to see au-
tonomy first conceded, and then an-
nexation might be talked about.
This is my opinion. According to my
view, the concession of self-govern-
ment ought to be the most just and
most logical solution."
The admiral spoue with an air of
frank conviction.

London, Aug. 32.— The special cor-
respondents of the London papers at
Kennes are beginning to comment upon
the changed aspect of the trial. To
begin with, Cay tain Dreyfus is becom-
ing his own advocate, lie has ceased
liis passionate, mechanical and blauk
denials and now defends himself by
well-arranged arguments and short
speeches. He takes frequent notes.
This, together with Maitre Demange's
careful checking of stateiuei ts is
b:iginningto disconcert the witness< a
for the prosecution, who are now mak-
ing more positive detailed statements
a id are observed putting their heads
together and whispering. M. De-
mange's cross-examination shows that
the witnesses are quite unprepared,
and scowls and shakings of head in-
dicating displeasure are not infrequent
on the part of General Iloget and the
other generals when their subordinates
are nonplussed.

Washington, Aug. 22 —A dispatch
from General Shafter has been received
giving information of the wreck of sup-
plies for troops in Alaska. General
Shafter forwards a dispatch from Se-
attle which states:
"Freight per steamer Jennie in tran-
tiit on barges to Yukon river posts was
Wrecked off St. Michaels on the 30th
Ult. Major part of the Fort Egbert,
ltampart and Circle City freight lias
been saved and will go forward."
It will be impossible to- replace the
loss of freight for Fort Egbert this sea-
son, its location being above the Yukon
flats, but to secure the livestock against
possible shortage during the winter the
quartermaster agent at St Michaels
borrowed and forwarded provisions
from the Alaska Commercial company.
GueHses at Dreyfus' Fate.
New York, Aug. 22.—A dispatch from
Kennes to the Tribune says: "Accord-
ing to impressions just communica-
ted from such an exceptional source as
to carry with it unusual presumption of
truth, the sentence of Dreyfus is al-
ready decided upon, lie will te found
guilty of 'disciplinary indiscretions'
for which ho will le sentenced to live
year* imprisonment"
ImIhikI Reservations.
Washington, Aug. 22.—The war de-
partment has set aside two large tracts
of land near Honolulu as military re-
servations. One tract contains 1 334
acres situated about three miles north-
west of the eitj', and the other 14,400
acres, is nineteen miles from Honolulu
and about nine mileo from Pearl har-
bor.
The San Felip hotel at Albuquerque
is burned down, the fire starting from
an clcctric wire on the roof. The esti-
mated loss is $42,000; insurance $'.'2,-

Kansas City, Aug. 52.—The death ot
General Charles W. lilair isannounecd. i
Ho has beeu ill for a year and for two
months he has been atCoronado beach,
California, where ho died. He was 70
years old on February 8 lsat and for
several j'ears prior to his death was j
connected with the legal department J
of tlie Kansas City, Fort Scott and
Gulf railroad in Kansas City.
General lilalr was a native of George-
town, Brown county, Ohio. He mar-
ried a daughter of Samuel Medary,
who was the last territorial governor
of Kansas. It was largely due to the !
fact of his father-in-law's removal to
Kansas that influenced Mr. lllair's
emigration to the state in 1*59, since
when he has always beeu a citizen of
Kansas.
Prior to leaving Ohio he was demo-
cratic nominee for governor of that
state, and mads a strong, though a
losing campaign.
General Blair's military career com-
menced in the famous expedition of
(Jen. Lopez for the liberation of Cuba.
For this expedition ho raised a com-
pany of "fillibusters" in Kentucky and j
became their captain. His service in
the civil war covered its entire period.
General Blair's career as lieutenant- ,
colonel of the Second Kansas infantry
forms a vital part of that organiza-
tion's history and of which the state
of Kansas has always beeu proud. On
February 29, 180?, Colonel 11 air waa
made major of the Second Kaunas cav-
alry, and later raised the famous
Illair's battery, of which he remainod
in command about six months. He was
then assigned to tlie command of the
post at Fort Scott, and also of a sub-
district composed of all of Kansaa
south of the Kansas river and the
western tier of Missouri counties.
September 20, 1903, he was made
lieutenant-colonel of the Fourteenth
Kansas cavalry and was soon after-j
ward promoted to be colonel of the
same regiment Colonel Blair did'
splendid service during the Price cam-'
paign of October, 1801. He was mus-
tered out of service August 21, 1805,
having been brevetted brigadier gen*
eral prior to that time.
SCHEME FAILS.
Governor I'oynler Falls to Arrange fot
Soldiers I ares.
Omaha, Neb. Aug. 22.—Gov. Poyntcr
has abandoned the project of provid-
ing a special train for the First Ne-
braska and the disbanded volunteer!
will be forced to use the traveling al*
lowanee granted by tiie government.
Over $l.r>,000 had been pledged by pri-
vate subscription, leaving $20,000 still
to bo raised.
The governor issues a proclamation,
in which he states that he resorted to
every possible measure to secure the
funds, without result Bankers and
other wealthy men of Omaha and Lin-
coln were appealed to, lie said, to ad-
vance his money upon his promise to
call upon tho legislature for a return
of principal and interest. Following
their refusal the railroads were ap-
pealed to, to return the soldiers and to
accept a claim against the state. Thii
request was denied by the different
lines and the project was abandoned.
The proclamation ends with au ex-
pression of regret that Nebraska has
failed to accord to its volunteers the
same practical honors given by other
states. The railroads are arraigned
for indifference to the interests of Ne-
braska and for lack of practical patri*
otism.

Creditor From Want.
Plainfield, N. J., Aug. 22.—Forty
years ago Ilenry Augustus I'razee
loaned to William I'. Hedden, a New-
ark merchant, 83,500, with which to
carry on business. Mr. Hedden after-
ward failed and went West to eugago
in mining. Mr. Frazee gave up all
hope of ever recovering the money,
and had practically forgotten about
the affair, when recently he received a
call from William E. Robinson, of To-
ledo, O., who informed him that a few
months ago Mr. Hedden died and in his
will left Sir.,000 to him because of the
old loan. Yesterday ho (Mr. 1'razee)
received a letter from the executors
telling liltn that the money would be
sent to him very soon. Mr. 1'razee is
in modtrate circumstances. For twen-
ty years he carried on a pi clcage ex-
press business between here and New
York. A few years ago he met with
an accident while out riding, and one
of his legs had to bo amputated. This
compelled him to give up his business.

After giving up San Fernando witl
a feeble struggle they entrenched
themseives, working several days and
impressing non-combatants into the
work, thus saving the armed men for
the lighting. Thcv engaged Lieuten-
ant Colonel Smith's regimcut, and tho
artillery warmly for four hours, mak-
ing one of the most stubborn resist-
ances of tho campaigns. llut tho
Americans aro indebted to the usual
poor marksmanship of the Filipinos us
well as to their own strategy for their
small losses.
In the province of Cavite, where it
was supposed the rebels had been
scattered aud demoralized beyond re-
cuperation they have assembled un
army of several thousand men, dis-
tributing among tho important towns 10
from the lake to the bay. After the Jj
iSan Fernando engagement the rebels ®
attempted to deter the Americans from r.vir
a further advance northward by means
of the railroad communications. .Sev-
eral hundred of General Filiates men
crossed the Kio Grande botween the
American outpost towns, and the Ca-
tena Halicuga, Quingaand other places
with small American garrisons while
during Sunday and Monday night
smaller bands tried to tear up the rail-
road tracks at several points between
Higaa and Malolos. Reinforcements
of American troops, however, were
sent along the railroad from Manila to
San Fernando, while the forces at Mil-
auga and Quinga subdued the rebels |
and drove them away. In brushes be-
tween the Filipinos and the Americans
during three days the American! lost
several men while the Filipinos loss
was heavy.
Of these operations the Associated
Press correspondent was permitted tc
send only an inadequate dispatch, dic-
tated verbatim by Major General Otis.
The censor writes stereotyped official
phrases and adjectives into the dis-
patches, tending to magnify the Amer-
ican operations and to minimize tho
opposition.

There lg oue young man In this city
who will not be eo fresh in the future
when it comes to betting with the fair
sex. He was filled with an apprecia-
tion of his own judKment, and one day
I last week announced to a young wom-
an that Yale was sure to win the foot-
j ball game against Harvard. It hap-
pened that the young woman was a
1 Harvard enthusiast, and she promptly
called the turn, offering to wager that
1 Harvard would prove the victor. A bo*
of candy waa suggested for a wager.
1 Hut this was scorned by the young man
1 who persisted that if he was <0 bet he
desired it to he for stakes of some Con-
sequence, and proposed that she wager
100 choice cigars against a new dress.
There are reasons for believing that h *
thought she would not he equal to the
emergency, but he was sadly disap-
pointed. for she accepted the wager. Of
course she won, hut the funny part of
the story remains to be told. The
! young man visited one of the dry goods
| stores Monday and secured samples of
• dress goods from which the fair win-
| ner could select. The prices ranged
from 75 cents to $l.2" u yard and know-
ing the disposition to select that which
cost the most, he determined upon a
very cute scheme, or, rather, a scheme
which looked very cute at the time. He
carefully attached price tags to the
samples, marking tho lower priced
goods $1.25 a yard and the $1.25 flam-
pies 75 cents. Chuckling at his sharp-
ness he presented the materials for se-
lection. A little later he went around
to hear the decision. "I like that piece
of cloth," said the young woman, pick-
ing up one of the pieces marked from
75 cents up. "but this one is such a
bargain that I think I shall take it.
And besides," she added, "it will let
you down easier." What he said was
not intended for her ears, but he will
purchase the $1.25 goods, marked down
by himself to 75 cents, but still sold by
the merchant at the original price.—

Parld Correspondence New York
World: Camille Flammarion, in an
interview with your correspondent,
said: "I have not repudiated spiritu-
alism lig'htly. A serious man naturally
always dislikes to admit that he has
been mistaken in life. As id well
known, I have been one of the stoutest
apostles of spiritualism. I always be-
lieved I was having regular intercourse
with the other world. Galileo's spirit
never failed to come to me when sum-
moned. His revelations about the ap-
pearance and manners of the inhabi-
tants of other planets were incorporat-
ed in my writings, always with the ut-
most confidence till modern instru-
ments discovered five satellites of Jupi-
ter and nine of Saturn, whereas what I
believed was the spirit of Galileo al-
ways affirmed to be that Jupiter had
four moons and Saturn eight. You
must understand, however, that I do
not renounce all belief in spiritual
manifestations, the existence of which
has been proved beyond a doubt. I
have simply reached the conclusion
that such manifestations cannot he at-
tributed to the spirits of dead people.
I see additional proof that the phenom-
ena so far as ascribed to the dead,
really emanates from psychic foire pro-
jected by the living. In fact the so
called revelations are always confined
to things known, suspected or desired'
by somebody present."
