Manila, Dec. 16 Rear-Admiral Dew
ey, when a correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press called upon him today, was
courteous and pleasant, bnt absolutely
declined to discus the political situa
tion in the Philippine island, nn the
ground that his sphere was purely naval.
Admiral Dewey always believed that
the insurgents were . friendly.-
A few influential Philipinos, in their
ambition for self advancement, are
clamoring for independence, though un
able to realize its trne meaning. They
are utterly ignorant of the difference be
tween the name and the reality. Agi
tators here invariably admit that they
would be unable to stand without Amer

ican protection, but in spite of this they
continue their meaningless outcry for in
dependence, and may pessibly create
trouble.
The admiral, however, believes this to
be improbable at the present juncture,
though every trifling incident counts.
However, every day that passes without
conflict means so much gain, because
the friendly feeling is steadily increas
ing, the incipient rowdiness disappear
ing and the agitators weakening.
The admiral is greatly interested in
the movement among the American vol
unteers to obtain their discharges here
and engage in pioneer enterprises. He
believes there is practically an unlimited
field for planters, farmers and miners
here.
The suggestion was made that if the
natives prove to be obstreperous, per
haps they might be banded oyer to the
Germans or other ungentle landgrab
bere. According to recent information re
ceived here, the Philipino insurgents
are endeavoring to maintain a brave
show for the purpose of securing the
best terms possible from the Americans.
It is the opinion of our admiral that it
would be advisable for the United States
to pay the insurgent troops their ar
rears of wages. The whole amount
would be a comparatively trifling sum,
and payment of the troops would have a
valuable effect, and may save incalcul
able trouble.

and Saturday took to his bed. He grew

fund of good humor, was a good story
teller and a universally popular man
with senators on both sides of the
chamber. He was admired for his busi
ness and political skill, and for his
abounding good humor ,which never left

He was largely interested in railroad
enterprises, was rated a millionaire, and
of late had been one of the chief
members of a syndicate with large rail

Good looks are really more thaji ekin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver be inactive, you have a bilious look ;
if your kidneys be effected, you have a
pinched look. Secure good health and
you will surely have good looks. "Elec-

The Wagon Tongue Broke.

freighter, met with quite a serious acci
dent a few days ago, on the grade be
tween Monumental and this city. In
making the descent, which is always

to the slippery conditions of the road,
the tongue of his wagon broke. Hinton
