What the Admiral Sent to Washington | State Auditor Siebert Takes Occasion Regarding the Capture of Manila. Washington, Jan. 11.—Responding to the Senate’s resolution of inquiry the Secretary of the Navy sent to the senate to-day a copy of Admiral Dewey’s report from Hong Kong, dated March 19, 1898, relative to the capture of Manila. The text of the report shows that it was madein response to a tele- gram of inquiry from the secretary and the admiral gives in detail the names of available vessels under his command and also a list of Spain’s vessels and other means of defense at Manila. He stated that his own squadron was in a high state of effi- ciency. Speaking of the Spanish force he said : “They numbered about 15,000 sol- diers of all arms in all the islands, of which half are in the vicinity of Ma- nila. The islands are now in a state of insurrection and my informants state that even the Spanish soldiers, who constitute only a small part of the whole, are disaffected. Both ships and forts need of ammuni- tion.” To this statement he added the fol- are in lowing: “I believe 1 am not over- confident in stating that with the squadron now under my command the vessels could be taken and the defenses at Manila reduced in one day. There is every reason to be- lieve that with Manila taken or even blockaded, the rest of the islands would fall either to the insurgents or ourselves, as they are only held now through the support of thenavy, and are dependent upon Manila for sup- plies. Information has just reached me that there are 5,000 rebels in camp near Manilla whoare willing to assist us.”” NN) St. Jacobs Oil will CURE it after a few applications, and make the muscles limber and strong.

Jefferson City, Jan. 10.—It has been rumored in some quarters that Capt. Albert O. Allen is not sincere in his candidacy for state auditor, that he will make the canvass without hope of securing the nomination and with the ulterior purpose of insuring for himself a place of some kind in one of the departments under the next administration. It is also ru- mored that State Auditor Seibert is advocating the candidacy of Captain Allen with this end in view. Upon being informed of these rumors by a reporter for the Times, Mr. Seibert said: “That isa mistake. Capt. Allen is acandidate for state auditor and will not play second fiddle to anyone. and I am as heartily for him as any- one could possibly be. The fact that I have not madeany public state- ment on the subject, I suppose, has been construed to mean that Iam lukewarm in my support of him, or doubtful of his suecess. I am, asa rule, not given to rushing into print to air my views concerning any mat ter. Ihave no desire to dictate who my successor shall be. Nothing is further from my thoughts than that. However, since my silence now seems to have been misconstrued, I glad to have the opportunity to say, and I do say, in mostemphatic terms that I hope and believe Capt. Allen will be nominated as the democratic candidate for state auditor this year and Ican be relied upon to use my best endeavors to that end. I would be destitute of gratitude and un- worthy of anyone’s confidence or friendship if I did not even find pleas- ure in furthering his ambition. He has sustained the most confi- dential relations with me forthe past eleven years as chief clerk in the au- ditor’s office. We were born and reared in adjoining counties in south- east Missouri. Knowing him as I do, my personal knowledge of his fidelity to me and his uniform faith- fulness to the public service, and real- izing his splendid fitness for the po- sition, together with his thorough knowledge of every detail of govern- mental affairs, it is but natural that Ishould be his personal and _politi- cal friend and supporter. Albert O. Allen is a manly man, honest, capable, earnest, industrious, courageous and just. By years of experience and untiring application he has acquired such a_ thorough knowledge of every detail of the office that he is, in. my opinion, the very best equipped manin the state for the position of state auditor. The public interests will never suffer if committed to his care.” am It Will Care You While You Wait If you fuffer with that horrible catarrh in the head, loss of smell or taste, catarrhal con- sumption, or headache.

It was understood that I was to be your guest to speak on the subject I have talked on, and to read my address. I seem to have given you offense, and I sincerely apologize, but, nevertheless, in closing, I want to propose a toast to that grand old statesman, old Oom Paul Kruger.” There were a few cheers, but Kru- ger’s name was drowned in an ava- lanche of hisses, Somebody stole up to the orchestra loft and whispered instructions to the leader, and. as Justice Woodward took his seat, the orchestra broke out with “Tommy Atkins.” $100 Reward $100.

Thomp- son decided a perplexing and yet somewhat amusing dispute yester- day between the pxtrons of the Star district school, Eley township, and the teacher. It has been the custom in trict for many years to have the teacher stand “treat” at Christmas times, and as the instructor was gen- erally a lady she gracefully vielded to the inevitable, and set up the candy, fruit, nuts and the like. The present teacher young man named George Knapp, and he let it be known that he didn’t intend to be bulldozed into squandering his salary on any such foolishness—pre: - edent or no. Seven of the larger boys invaded the school house early the first morn- ing after the holidaysand barricaded the doors and windows. After a few hours’ futile siege Knapp went and gathered up the members of the school board and asked them if they the dis- is a would stand by him while he enforced his authority. They said they would and accompanied the teacher to the beleaguered school house to see that he wasn’t killed Knapp got a fence rail, smashed in the doors and administered a severe whipping to six of the boys. The seventh got away. The board shook hands with the teacher : him for another term. ndemployed But the vic- torious teacher ran against a snag the next day. The seventh boy had hardly entered the room when Knapp ran to him and undertook to plete the job of the day before. Then the six sufferers arose, armed with clubs and corn knives and ordered the teacher to let their comrade alone. He obeyed the command like dier, and called up the first class in mental arithmetic. The parents of the boys asked Supt. Thompson to revoke Knapp’s certificate on the ground of cruelty, but after hearing both sides of the case, the superin- tendent refused to interfere. Atruce has been patched up be- tween teacher and pupils, and Star school will run smoothly until the holiday season rolls around again. com- a sol- We Will Give You a 34 ‘Watch {f you will show our pablication to your friends.
