Hi. Paso, Tex.. Ang 4—Sewn from low-
er Yaipii river country in that roving
hands ol Indians are killing lioth Mexi-
cans ami Americans and that a nnniher
of Americans in the outlaying districts
have heen slaughteicd.
The committee charged with making
the arrangement for the Washington re-
ception of Admiral Dewey have succeed-
ed in getting from the Navy Department
metal from the relics of the battle of
Manila Itay, to be used in making soven-
ir medals of the reception, and a well-
known artist is now making a design for
the medal, which will lie appropriate and
artistic.
No official report has yet been received
of the Louisiana lynching, but the in-
formation claimed to have been received
at the Italian Embassy does not agree
with what has reached Washington from
other sources. The Embassy claims that
four out of the five men lynched were
Italian citizens; also that there were no
justifying circumstances, The official re-
ports are awaited with much interest.
Threatened revolution in Santo Do
tningo in which American interests pre-
dominate, led our Government to dis-
patch two warships there, to protect
those interests. No sooner had the or-
der been made public than European
Powers also ordered ships there, even
Italy, although their interests are much
smaller. European Powers appear to
have gotten the idea that Uncle Sam is
now watching for any old chance to ex-
pand.

NaI'LKS, Aug. 5—The United Stales
cruiser Olympia, with Admiral Ik wey on
iMiard, arrived here at I I o'clock I his
morning, and exchanged salutes with ihr
shore batteries and the Italian warships
in the harbor. An enormous crowd of
Neapolitans and residents of near-by
assembled to greet the Admiral, *md
cheer him lustily as he landed.
Admiral Dewey was cordially welcom-
ed b\ the municipal authorities. Many
buildings display the American colors
and thousands of people from neighbor-
ing towns are coming into the city to
sec the American Admiral and the vessel
on which he led his squadron to victory.
On his arrival Admiral Dewey was at
once visited on behalf of Ambassador ,
Drajier, by Lewis Morris hidings, secre-
tary of the United States embassy at
Rome; Richard C. Parsons, second secre-
tary of the embassy; Heiftor D. Castro,
United States consul general here, and
the vice consul, Chas M. Wood.
The Admiral commanding the station
and the commander of the garrison also
visited Admiral Dewey on the Olympia
today, and the American Admiral sub-
sequently returned their visits. Forty
American tourists afterward visited the
Olympia.
Admiral Dewey and the crew of the
Olymaia are all in good health. It is
now said the cruiser will remain here
eight or ten clays.

Timid persons in Washington are just
a little bit frightened because the yellow
fever has got a foot hold in the Soldier’s
Home, at Hampton, Va., and the im-
mediate vicinity, but the National medi-
cal authorities who are fighting to wipe
out the dissase and to prevent its getting
outside of the present infected district,
express confidence in their success and
say there is no occasion for alarm, but
the very name of yellow fever is sufficient
to scare many persons, and continued
rumors that a case lias appeared nearby
always finds some believers.
Cleveland, O., Aug 7.—It is announc-
ed to night that all the military will be
withdrawn from Cleveland, perhaps be"
fore tomorrow night. This has been one
of the quietest days since the beginning
of the strike. Violence has ceased entirely
and there is no apprehension of a fresh
outbreak. The action of the merchants
yesterday in declaring their purpose to
resist the boycott has already had its
effect. The cars were patronized to-day
on the Euclid and Cedar lines, and there
was a noticeable increase in the number
of passengers on other lines.
Remember the old soldiers re-union
Sept 14, 15, and 16.
Allahabad, Aug. 4.—Unless there should
be a copious fall of rain within ten days,
extensive local famines are inevitable in
Madras, Bombap, and the central prov-
inces.
It is apparent even to casual visitors
to Washington that the official vacation
season isatliand. The President is away
and the White House is going through
its anuual renovation. Only three mem-
bers of the Cabinet-Secretaries Gage,
Hitchcock and Root-have charge, which
that important matters are being let
alone and only routine work being done
for the time being. This dotsn t mean
that important matters are being neglec-
ted, but that they are not brought up be-
cause of the absense of the heads ot the
departments and of the President. The
War Department is, however, a striking
exception. There are fewer of its promi-
nent officials away from their desks than
usual at this season. This is probably
owing to a hint given as soon as the date
of Gen. Alger’s retirement became known
that the new Secretary would want lots
of information and would perfer to get
it from first hands. Everyday since he
took chatge, Secretary^ Root has been
putting his subordinates through a
thorough cross-examination on the busi-
ness methods ol the department, w itli a
view ol informing himself, much as lie
would witness in an important case in
which he was counsel.
