PROMINENT CALLERS TODAY There is the highest authority for saying that the instructions to Commodore Dewey were to take the Philippine Islands, no matter how it was done, so long as the cperations were within the bounds of hu- tmanity and civilized warfare. These instructions make clear the oper- ations of the American commander. He first decided to destroy the Spanish fleet and then to invest Manila. It is believed he went prepared in ammunition and pro- visions to do this. He will continue to at- tack the fortfications of Menila until he destroys them. It is said en good author- ity that he will probably not bombard the city of Manila -unless there are Spanish forces in the city, which harass and worry him. If that is the case he may shell the city to drive the Spanish forces out. ‘The instructions to Dewey were general, as given above. President McKinley and Secretary Long had confidence enough in him to leave the details to his manage- ment. So soon es Dewey secures the city of Manila he will be able to communicate di- rect with the officials here and receive fur- ther instructions as to future policy. There is some doubt that the Spaniards will de- stroy the cable here when they find that they must give up Manila. To do that would be to leave them in a worse condi- tion than the S. Many officia's that communication vith Dewey will be established by tomor- hen the ¢: ill hold its regular r the trend of affairs. he President's Early Callers. President McKinley was awake until a late hour last night, going over the press of the fight off Manila, but he ’ usual hour this morning. He lost no time-in going over the dispatches hich had accumulated over night. These and the early dispatches of today were quickly gone over, fully convincing the ident that a great victory had been ob- and that Commodore Dewey had ng in shape to seize Manila. The Jent received Secretary Wilson. s more gratified at the situation of Agriculture. He e it as his opinion that the Span- had been “badly licked.” etary said that if the American nothing more than rid Amer- nimen th the east of danger it He thought later is Wo ult show that Dewey had ptured Manila or established a base of supplies, which meant that the islands would fail into Uncle Sam’s hands. Secretary Bliss, who saw the President a jthan the Secretary freely few minutes later, was equally as contident id: his fellow-cabinet official, but sz S wait until tomorrow. We will then more about it.” Following these visitors were a number of isitors who exchanged felicitatinns with the President upon the victory in eastern waters. The President was not at all demonstrative, maintaining that calm demeanor which has characterized him un- der all circumstences. Senators Baker and Harris of Kansas, Cullom of Illinois, and Pritchard of North Carolina were among the early visitors. ‘The Kansas people want to secure a pusi- tion In the velunteer army for a constitu- ent. To Hold the Philippine Islands. It is the intention of the United States government to take possession of the Philippine Islands and to hold them until the war with Spain closes. The islands will then be made to pay part of the indemnity which is expected when Spain asks for peace, This statement is made on the authority of several government officials who know what they are taiking about. It is also be- lieved that Porto Hico will become the prcperty of the United States. The administration has no intention of keeping any of these places as the perma- nent property of the United States. That would be against the policy and traditions of the country, The Philippines will be val- uaple temporary property, however. Al- most any of the European countries would like io have the islands and would pay big money for them. Either England or Japan would be giid to pay immense sums. Be- sides the heavy money payment the United States would exact commercial privileges with the new owners which would be worth countless millions to the shipping of the country Gossip as to Their Sale. There is already considerable unofficial gossip that the administration wouid be willing for England to have the is!ands if she cares to pay for them. Uncle Sam, it i id, would prefer England as @ pur- chaser. Indications already point to some kind of pleasant relations between the two countries. The sale of the islands to England would, it is said today, rovse all Europe, and might precipitate an international crisi: but the saie to any otker country, with the pessil exception of Japan, would also cause trouble. The European countries would not be as jeaious of Japan as of each other. They might give their assent to Japanese ownership to prevent England obtaining a foothold. ‘The great importance of these islands in the future history of the east is recognized by the representatives of every nation in this city. It is only a matter of time, they say, when a partition of China will begin. The ownership of the Philippine Islands would be of inestimable value to England as a base of supplies and for strategic rea- son That is why the final possession of these islands may yet lead to international trouble. Spain could keep the islands if she desired by paying cash to Uncle Sam, but there would continue to be trouble with the natives and endless expense which she may desire to avoid by relinquishing the islands. No European Intervention to Be Per- mitted. It can be sald with positiveness: that nei- ther Germany nor France must attempt to frustrate th> piaus of this government in the Philippines. A cabinet officer said to- day that President McKinley has his mind firmly fixed on this subject. He intends that there shall be no European interf2r- ence with the policy of the government. It is felt that Commodore Dewey and his squadron will be able to hold their run at large William Staples was today fined $10 by Judge Kimball. The testi- mony showed that the dog Saturday a vcek ago bit Patrick Lyons, small boy, on one of his arms and had previously’ at- tacked two little girls. Edward T.

Muller, whose commission has been revoked. own and protect the interests of the United States against foreign encroach- ments or bluster. It is hoped to establish direct communication with the commodore in a few day: Explicit: instructions will be given him as to what he must do. No assistance will be cent him at this time in the way of warships. More ammunition may be sent by steamers from San Fran- cisco. These steamers will have nothing to fear since the extermination of the Spanish fleet. Secretary Long will talk wjth the Presi- ent about these matters this afternoon. There will also be long conferences with congressional leaders. Plans will — be evolved at tomorrow's cabinet session. It is not known that Commodore Dewey needs assistance in the way of supplies, but if nothing is heard from him soon ar- rarngements will be made to send him re- lief of some sort, chiefly ammunition. May Sue for Pence. A cabinet officer does not believe that Spain will sue for peace as a result of the Manila disaster. She will want another triai at the Americans, but after the next knockout she will be satisfied. Satisfaction at Dewey's Victory. Attorney General Griggs was another cabinet official to have a satisfactory talk with the President. He and the President Giscussed the receipt of the bulletin an- rouncing that Commodore Dewey and the British consul were in conference. Both came to the conclusion that this conference indicaied that Dewey was master of the situation and would push matters to his complete satisfaction. Both the President and the attorney general know too’ well that the British consul would probably not bether himself conferring with a man who had not demonstrated his ability to take care of the interests of his country. The Attofney General left the White House before the n2ws was received of the complete annihilation of the Spanish fleet, and the establishment of a blockade. This news was displayed by the President to all of his callers, including Senators Spoon2r and Gray, Representatives Alex- ander and Boutelle and Editor Matthews of Buffalo. 1f Commodore Dewey had heard the praise bestowed upon him by all officials he would have felt that he had secured his reward. It wes generally believed by the officials that the capitulation of Manila was not long off. Between a blockade and assaults it was felt that Dewey would soon have the capital of the Philippines in his posses- sion. It would be necessary to secure in- surgent aid to hold th2 island, however. What Secretary Long Says. Secretary Long made his first visit to the White House just before 1 o'clock today. He carried with him the little green bag which holds many valuable papers. The Secretary said: “We have not yet received any official news from Manila, but every- thing looks favorable.” After a few minutes in the cabinet’s rcom, the President and Secretary Long went out for a stroll. ‘Ihey were stopped at many places to receive the congratula- tions of admiring friends. Col. Wood Calis. Col. Leonard Wood, who is to command the regiment of western sharpshooters, Went to the White House this afternoon to bid farewell to President McKinley. Col. Wood and the President took a walk to- gether in the White House grounds talking ever the coming invasion of Cuba. 1. Wood will go at once to the west to get his regiment ready, and will be joined shortly by Lieut. Col. Roosevelt. The hasty departure of Col. Wood indi- cates the intention of the President to push matters, as it is recognized that Col. Wocd’s regiment is to be among the first sent to the front. Studying the Map. President McKinley spent scme time to- day studying an official map of the scene of yesterday's big fight. The map was taken to the White House by Senator Pritchard, and he and the President went over it to- gether, discussing the movements of Com- modore Dewey. They came to the conclu- sion that the American command>r had taken the only proper course in getting into Manila bay. -. COMMODORE DEWEY’S RECORD. His Career Since He Left the Naval Academy in 1858. Commodore George Dewe the naval hero of the day, has a good record as a fighter and tactician. When he was placed in command of the Asiatic squadron great things were expected of him, and his great victory at Manila shows that this confi- dence was not misplaced. He got his baptism of fire in the early days of the civil war on board the sloop Mississippi of Admiral Faragut’s fleet. The hero of the Philippines was born in Ver- mont, and is now in his sixty-first year. He was graduated at the Naval Academy in 1858, and made his first cruise on the Wabash to the Mediterranean. He reached the grade of lieuteuant April 19, 1861, eight days after the assault on Fort Sumter, and was assigned to the Mississippi on the west gulf station. He was on that vessel when, as part of Admiral Farragut’s fi she forced an entrance to the Mississippi river and forced the surrender of New Or- leans. His vessel was attached to the dl- vision which attacked Fort St. Philip. ‘The hottest fight that the Mississippi ever engaged in was her last one, and this was perhaps as hot as any of the war. In March, 1863, the fleet tried to run by the confederate batteries at Port Hudson. Some of the ships got as far as a narrow-part of the channel, where they met land batteries imost muzzle to muzzle, and then they were forced to retreat. The Mississippi did not get as far as this. A foggy day had been chosen for the attempt, and this was soon made more obscure by the smoke of battle, and amid this the Mississippi lost her bearings and ran ashore. Her officers found that she had struck just under the guns of a battery in the middle of the line of fortifications, and one of the strongest of the lot. In half an hour 259 shots struck the vessel, and she was riddied from end to end. There was no chance to hold her, and her crew took to their boats and landed on the opposite side of the river, after setting her on fire. Soon, lightened by the loss of the crew and by the fire, she drifted off, and, blazing and saluting with bursting shells, she drifted down the river, untii finally the fire reached her magazines, and her career was ended in one great explosion. = Commodore Dewey subsequently served on the gunboat Agawan of the’ North At- Jantic squadron, and took part in the two attacks on Fort Fisher in 1864 and 1865. In the latter year he became a lieutenant commander and as such served on the Kearsarge and the Colorado. The latter was flagship of the European squadron. . In 1868 he began service at the Naval Academy, and a few years later was given his first command, the Narragansett, which vessel was engaged in special ser- vice, making surveys in the Pacific. In 1876 he became attached to the light house service and remained on that duty until 1882, when he was placed in command of the Juniata on the Asiatic.station. He be- came a captain in 1884 and was given com- mand of the dispatch boat Dolphin, which had just been constructed and was one of the pioneers of the new navy. In the fol- lowing year he took command of the Euro- pean squadron, with the Pensacola as his flagship, and remained on that station until 1888, when he was appointed chief of the bureau of equipment. He subsequently served as a member of the light house board, and in 1896 reached his present grade of commodore and was given the important assignment of presi- dent of the board of inspection and -sur- vey, which office he filled to the great sat- isfaction of the department until January last, when he was ordered to -his present duty as commander-in-chief of the naval forces on the Asiatic station. —_—_—__ + e-___—_ Petitions for Divorce.

Commissionérs and The House District committee has re- ported a substitute for Senate bill 1910, re- lating to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in certain cases. Representative Jenkins of Wisconsin has written a report on the bill, in which he says: “Copies of these several bills have been submitted to all of the judges in the Dis- trict presiding over courts of record, and to the Commissioners of the District; and, after hearing from the learned judges of the District of Columbia and from the Sar f the District, the committee recommend for passage the substitute for this bill. It is designed to remedy an anomalous con- dition of affairs existing in the laws of the District of Columbia inherited from the state of Maryland almost 100 years ago. In Case of Contested Wills. “The most pressing evil which requires remedy is the following: A man dies in the District of Columbia cwning both per- soral and real estate. His will is pre- sented for probate and record in the Su- preme Court of the District of Columbia holding a sp2clal term for orphans’ court business. His children or other next of kin file a caveat to this will, alleging want of testamentary capacity on the part of the testator, or the existence of fraud or un- cue influence in the obtaining of this will. Issues are thereupon made up and sent for trial before a judge and jury at a special term of the same court sitting as a cir- cuit ccurt. The verdict, we will suppose, finds all these issves in favor of the will. This verdict is sent back to the special term for orphans’ court business and a judgment is there entered allowing probate to the will. This judgment is final, pro- vided no appeal be taken, with respect to the personal estate of the testator. But the same persons who had procured the issues, and wno are absolutely bound by the verdict and judgment entered upon them, file a declaration in ejectment in the ame court as heirs at law of the testator. pon a trial of this ejectment they as- sail the same will upon the same issues, and we will suppose that a verdict is rendered against the will. Here we have two absolutely contradictory verdicts upon the same case. “Another great evil, constituting a con- stant menace to the safety of real estate transactions, is'this: Under existing law the will of a testator may be assailed in an ejectment suft at any time within twen- ty yeaps, and inccertain cases of disability under “the statute OF limitations a stiil lenger period is, allope “A further objec sett a proposed legisla- tion is to giwe to thé Suprema Court of the District of Columbia holding a special term for orphans’ court business plenary juris- diction for the administration of both the personel and rei ‘te of the decedent. A subordinate and incidental avil to be reme- died is this: Thére are very many contests over wills in thé District of Columbia. Un- der the law jury trials in such cases have precedence over all oth2r business. In con- sequence of this, suitors on the common law side of the court are delayed indefinite- ly, and to their very great injury, whil> the juries are occupied in determining ques- tions involving the validity of wills. The proposed legislation gives the special term sitting for orphans’ court business a jury, so that the s2nding of issues and the con- sequent blocking up of the business of the Circuit Court will no longer be necessary. Justices and Commissioners Approve. bia also approve it. All of the above named not only approve this legislation, but rec- ommend its adoption. The Bar Associa- tion, whose committee has prepared it, are urgent in asking its enactment. ‘ertain objections to the bill have been stated in writing by Mr. Justice Hagner of the Supreme Court of the District of Co- lumbia. In order to remove possible difti- culties of interpretation apprehended by Mr. Justice Hagner the committee of the Bar Association has amended the original draft of this substitute, and it is thought that there is no longer any possible room for doubt with respect to the interpreta- tion of the substitute. ese Marriage Licenses, Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: White—Tilden D.
