ing the past day or two since rumors
of the King's Ilrrtess had been preva

ports a heavy business had been trans
acted with those who had stands on

tradesmen whose interests would suf
fer and Innumerable Individuals and
corporation whose financial loss would
be serious In event of a postponement.
The rates charged in April were 11 to

went in for the coronation premium as
greedily a if there had been bo rUk
to be feared, and the "premium was all
prtofft. - Others who kept aloof from
such commitment in connection with
the jubilee, plunged in hungrily on the

WASHINGTON. June i6. Admlrnl
Dewey made a st.rtemenibefyre the
Senate Committee on. PlhMpplnes today
concerning-- the. early .operations at
Manila when he was In command of
the Amerjcan Naval forces in the Phil
ippine waters. . .
The Admiral's statemena contributed
an Important ' addltlonJo " the history ,
of the surrender of the city of Manila.
This ..consisted, of the positive state
ment by the Admiral, ,to the -effect that
the city "had been surrendered to him
at the time the Spanish fleet was sunk,
and that when the city did surrenJur
it was 4a pursuance of a definite un
derstanding between himself and the
Spanish Governor-General. . ; ' j
"When Senator Ixnlge aaked the Ad
miral: "Dfai you recogriixe the Flllpn.
Ttepubllc" he replied:' X1 dui nn 1
never gave it the sllghtestj recognition.
I had no authority to do so. and besides .
I did hot consider It an brg.iMjied Gov
ernment. ; I sent word to AgurnaMo
that he must treat his prisoners klnslly.
and he replied that he truld."
"Whis would have' been, the effect of
permitting the FUrplno torccs to enter
Manila, when our troops" eritrsrdr
f The Spaniards. were very-fearful of
the resuK of such a course, and there
fore surrendered to me In ' advance.
That; was all arrangetl and .there wa
no need of the loss of a man in th
capture of the city. It was to be dona
at a signal, and no gun need have been
fired by us but for the desire of; tho
Governor General, who. sold his honur
demanded that a few shots be fired."
