INDENTED PLATE MAY BE SENT TO DEWEY earing Mark hat So Nearly fe Likely to His Property. WASHINGTON. denc was e May 4.—Tangible evi- of the peril to which Admiral Dewey posed during the battle of Maniia in the shape of one of the starboard plates of the admiral's flagship Olympia. The plate is about three feet square and in its middle is a heavy indention 1% inches deep, made by a large fragment from a five or six-pound Spanish shell The Olympia Is now at the Boston navy yard undergoing repairs and when the constructors came acros this plate they decided to remove It, partly as a relic and also to replace it with a solid plate. In forwarding It to the Bureau of Constru tlon a letter was sent stating that the plate was taken from the starboard side of the Olympla's superstructure, approx- imately under the forward bridge and very close to one of the five-inch guns. While the battle was in progress a shell burst very near the officers on the bridge, one of the fragments whizzing by the admiral. The deeply indented plate gives a more | forcible reminder of the narrow escape from bursting shells than has heretofore appeared. The plate either will be placed at the Smithsonian institution or given to Admiral Dewey.

Regarding what actually took place be- tween the two men Mr. Bartlett said that Eastman was examining the old rim-fire revolver when it suddenly exploded and Grogan threw up his hands, Eastman, sup- posing Grogan had been shot, went toward: him at the same time Grogan's revolver went off. A struggle took place between | the two men, during which Grogan's revol- ver went off two or three more times.
