Be that as it may, the opinion of the officials at the Navy Department was ons of approval of | Admiral Dewey’s course over looking Sailor Savage's breach of discipline, under the umstances. The incident has convinced the officials at the Navy Department that, while Admiral Dewey has keen most modest in all his reports bear- llow- ofore glorious vic my ce ution some bars in jat Santiago is au important jthe military authorities for ing upon tho achievement of his fleet, he is concealing a vast amount of jubilation Merritt to be an Autocrat. Washington Dispatch In Chicago Record. No official of the United States was eyer intrusted with such auto-| eratic powers as have been conf. rred upon General Merritt in his capacity as governor general of the Philip- pine islands. He is to be an autocrat and govern an absolute monareby. | | Under the colonial px plier of Spair, | the captain genera! of the colony has had eupreme authority over his department, and has been responsi- | ble only to the ministers at Madrid. | If they chose to instruct him as to| his duties and the poli he should pursue, he was, of course, compelled | | transports to carry troops from Tampa to obey, because they could at any time relieve him from cffice But they usually allowed him full sway, as long as he did not interfere with their personal interests and provided lucrative who desired office. Gereral Merritt inberits the pow ers of the captain general, and being 7,000 miles away will have no op portunity to ask instructions from Washington concerning the yarious | matters that will tantly be arising in his administration affairs. It is therefor of the utmost importance that he shall have the assistance of the best men that can be found for the exercise of both civil acd military authority, for he will gradually remove the Spanish officia!s and their places with otticers his command. It expected that he will utiliza the ser vices of native Philippines so f, positions for their favorites e of | peas, fill from is they can be made available, but no body in Washington is sufficiently familiar with their character and abilities to form an intelligent esti mate of their probable usefulness. As soon as General Merritt arrives Admiral Dewey's contre] of affairs! ceases,and he will b der Merritt's | orders.
