Spectal” Correspondence of The Call. The Minister of the Interior, Captain J. A. King, returned in excellent health by the Mariposa. It is understood that he will make a report in connection -with a large dry and repairing dock that the Government feels inclined to recommend the construction of the icinity of the Nuuanu stream, or side of the harbor, but it is scarcely probable that an appropriation will be made at this session of the Legisla- ture, except perhaps for the cost of preliminary exeminations and reports, @s the unsettled cendition of the qu ion interferes with such mprovements.

The opposition does not desire a change of administration until the elections next year, when it hopes the popular will as expressed at the ballot- box will be sufficiently appreciative of the disastrous policy of the Government to rele; it to political oblivien. Out of the wreck of political ambi- tlons unsatisfied the only apparent probability is that the Minister of Finance will receive the mnomination He W for President to succeed Mr. Dole. is thought to be the cnly man ‘could break the threatened deadlock in the Senate at the next Pre ential election, when eight votes in the Sen- ate will control the situation. If Mr. Damon is not having his wires installed for this nomination, then the Doliticians of all parties are much de- ceived. So far, his policy has been in- ternal develcpments oupled , with economy; regard annexation as a pc sibility, not a probability; be just and generous to the Hawaiians; forgive and forget the past rather than i recall it, and broaden the peopl i erties and trust them as friends and equals, not with piclon and dis- trust. The British steamer Mogul arrived in port on Monday last with 643 Japa- nese contract laborers—5ll men, 128 women and 4 children. The Government has published a de- tailed account of the taxes collected and delinquent for 189 which are culled the following items, ghowing the nationalities of the tax- payers: Hawaiians and half castes paid, $112,884; delinquent, $21,701 American a European, ~$131,384 51 Gelinquent, $5916 38.

President Dole has signed the first bill for the payment of an indemnity ubject, a native of Jamalica, for illegal imprisonment and cruel treatment during, as the special service certificate f the Government term it, “the rebellion against the re- public of Hawail during the month of January, 1 ) In a very short time now the action of the British Government will be %&nown in regard to nine other claims for which a specific demand has been made and refused by the Hawalian Government. The importance of this question of compensation lies in the fact that sev- eral other governments are awaiting the action of the British Govern- ment, and that it has been intimat- €4 on falrly reliable authority that the ‘Washington government desires to see its claims settled by Hawalii before an- nexation is consummated. ALASKA PACK TRAIN OFF TO CHICKAMAUGA. Abandoned Relief Expedition Starts Eastward to Join the Volun- teer Army. SEATTLE, May 3.—A special train left Seattle to-night over the North Pa- cific Rallway to St. Louis via Billings. It consisted of eight cars and its de- parture is caused by war emergencies which have resulted in orders to the members of the Government aban- boned relief expedition to repair with its equipment to the army station at 8t. Louis. The party consists of twenty men under the command of Lieutenant Ryan of the Ninth United States Cav alry. They took with them ten da traveling rations, issued by Captain ‘William W. Robinson Jr. These men constitute the oniy organized pack train in the United States army, and | they, were sent north to take provisions into "Dawson. The destination of the cavalry de- tachment is problematical. The spe- clal traln conveys the men, their per- sonal baggage and camp equipment, ninety-two pack males and eight horses to St. Louis. It is not believed that they will be detained there, but sent vn to the mobilization army at Chicka- mauga, at which point they will ope- rate as the exigencies of the war may demand. The orders that were first sent to Ideutenant Ryan at Dyea were for him to proceed to Vancouver Barracks.

SAN RAFAEL, May 3.—To-day’s on of the Teachers' Institute was sting from varfous points of view, nainly on account of the personality of the lecturers. These were Professor Edward Howard Griggs of Stanford Uni s, Professor L. D. P. Syle of Berkeley.and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Samuel P. Black. | Soth the morning and afterncon ses- sions were preceded and followed by patriotic songs, and the various fea- | tures of the programme were inter- spersed with vocal and instrumental selections, which are the especial care of Professor Charles N. Watson. Professor Syle gave the first lecture at the morning session, his theme be- ing “Scheol Discipline.” Professor Griggs followed with an essay on “In- spired Teaching.” Both themes were | elucidated in a masterful manner and drew forth discussion by the institute. After recess Professor Syle descant- ed on the subject “English in Elemen- tary Schools” and Professor Griggson “The Use of Literature in Teaching History. At the afternoon session a forceful address was delivered by Superinten- dent Black. He referred to the sub- ject of education generally, speaking briefly on the immense educational strides taken of late years, and glving the younger teachers especially some excellent ideas in “teaching the young | idea how to shoot.” Professor Syle lec- | tured at this session on “Do Our Uni- | versities Stand for Progress?” He answered himself in the affirmative. | To-morrow’s session will doubtless | prove fully as interesting as to-day’s. | The teachers are all enjoying them-| | selves keenly and are looking forward to next Thursday, when the institute in a body will visit the Oakland | schools. | ARIZONA COWBOYS TO 1 ROUND UP THE DONS.

Early in the evening the two local bands united and appeared on the streets to discourse patriotic airs. The bands had played but one tune when a shout went up and some one exclaimed: “What's the matter with a procas- sfon?” Immediately hundreds of people, old and young, big and little, male and female, fell into line. Flags were pro- cured and to martial music the resi- dents of the Cream City paraded the streets, shouting themselves hoarse. Fireworks were brought into play, fire | crackers boomed in all directions and | for two hours pandemonium reigned. | Uncle Sam, the American navy, Com- mander Dewey, Liberty and the flag were cheered to the echo, and during one of the lulls in this grand outburst of patriotism a score of little girls on the Ferndale Hotel veranda sang “‘There’s a' Hot Time In the Old Town To-night.” EUREKA, May 3.—Last evening the citizens of Eureka celebrated the American victory at Manila by a parade of the concert band, the Naval Reserve and scores of residents.

By this comparison he sought to direct public attention to the immense superiority of a squadron of ironclads over a squad- ron of wooden vessels, dried by the “Spain undoubtedly sees therein the heroism of our marines, but she also and above all sees the nefarious crime of the - Government. It i{s unfair to blame the enemy for possessing forces superior to ours, but what is worthy of being blamed with all possible vehe- mence is this infamous Government, which allowed our inferiority without neutralizing it by some means of pre- parations.” With reference to the catastrophe Nacional continues: “A good bat- tery off Corregidor Island with great reflectors and guns capable of sweep- ing the seas for miles around would have kept the American squadron out of the bay. In Corregidor there were only a few wretched guns taken from warships a few days ago. This is the truth. Our sailors have been basely delivered over to the grapeshot of the Yankees, a fate nobler and more worthy of respect than those baneful Ministers who brought about the first victory and its first victim: El Heraldo de Madrid says: “It was no caprice of the fortunes of war. From the very first cannon shot our fragile | ships were at the mercy of the formid- able hostile squadron. They were con- demned to fall, one after another, un- der the fire of the American batteries, powerless to strike, and were defended only by the valor in the breasts of their sailors. What has been gained by the illusion that Manila was fortified? What has been gained by the intima- tion that the broad and beautiful bay on whose bosom the Spanish fleet per- ished had -been rendered inaccessible? ‘What use was made of the Island of Corregidor? What was done with its guns? Where were the torpedoes? ‘Where were those defensive prepara- tions concerning = which we were re- quested to keep silent?'" El Heraldo, referring further on_to the extent of the disaster, says: “We The Government has not defined it for the information of the country, and although the greater por- tion of yesterday’s cabinet council was devoted to the subject the Government has refused to issue even,a note, leav- ing us in ignorance respecting its views on this fateful event. There is nothing | rash in the suspicion that the Govern- ment’s attitude in this matter is a de- | sire to hide a part of the truth. This, however, is a baneful mistake.” LESSONS TAUGHT BY THE MANILA FIGHT. Crews of Antiquated Vessels Pre- Destined to Perish in the First % Encounter. BERLIN, May 3.—The comment here on the Manila fight largely concerns the naval and military lessons to be learned from it. The Nord Deutsche Algemeine Zeitung says: “Every Government can learn there- in its navy, since it is certain that their crews are predestined to perish at the first encounter.” The semi-official pagn deny a bevy of rumors: First, that Emperor William and Emperor Francis Joseph have ar- rived at an agreement respecting neu- trality and the possibility of interven- tion; second, that the German ships will be more severely searched for con- traband than any other nationalities, and, third, that Germany and France have protested against the occupation of the Philippines.

Last night's lightwelght tournament of | the San Francisco Athletic Club devel- oped a boxer who is a pocket editlon of doughty Joe Choynskl In appearance, science and hitting powers. His name is Priest, and from the exhibition he gave of his prowess he will doubtless convert such clever youngsters as Lawler, Ott and other leaders in his class into “has beens.” He only appeared twice in the tournament, and the showing he made against his opponents led every ringgoer in the packed club-room to pick him as a winner. _ But for the humane and just interfer- ence of popular Sergeant Brophy, the tournament would have been completed. In the semi-final round of the tourna- ment, young, gritty and wiliing “Billy” Dirk and Priest were the contestants. Although the boys were of the same height, yet it could be easily seen that Priest had the advantage In reach, jence, generalship and hitting powers. Fhe minu g sounded, both lads The minute the gon; began fiddling, and gnest drew Dirk out with a clever feint and landed a stff left swing on the latter’s head, knocking him to his knees. Dirk regained his pins, and after countering, Dirk in attempting to duck a vicious left hook just escaped a heavy right uppercut which would have lifted his head off had it landed. Seeing that the plucky lad stood no chance against Priest's onslaught, Sergeant Brophy interfered, and although he was hissed the majority of those present ap- plauded his humane action. As was proper, Referee E. J. Smith of the Acmes decided it no contest, The evening's sport opened with Perry and McCarthy as cards. The four rounds were filled in with wild swings, which en- dangered those seated outside the ropes ore than the contestants themselves. dventually the judges, Professor J. P. Be- han and H. Tank of the Acmes, gave Perry a decision. William Savage, a vouth who bore out his cognomen both in brutality and ower to take a beating, and Johnny Mc- E)nnnld. a lanky scrapper, entertained the crowd with. a liyely set-to, In which Sav- age gained the honors. it took Mr. Priest just two rounds to show his superiority over Mr. Flannigan. He outboxed the latter, outpunched him and nearly made him swallow his gum. All this tired Mr. Flannigan and some people were uncharitable enough to say that he knew he was ‘‘up against it” an lay down. At all events he was knocked out. “Billy” Dirk and Walter Dean put up the grittiest battle of the tournament. Dean outclassed Dirk in reach and science, but the little fellow made up for it in determination and willingness, which won him a decision. While the winners were resting. Joe sen sang and Professor Franks gave a bMindfold trapeze performance. Perry and Bavage, winners of the first and second bouts, then went at it for four Tounds and their work was so even that another round was ordered. Perry’s clean hitting and falr tactics won him the deci- sion. Perry and Priest will come together be- fore the club on the 18th inst., when an- other exciting evening’s entertainment will be given. —_—————————— Deserted His Family.

Later He Will Be Elevated in the Usual Course by Nomi- nation. Message of Congratulation to Be Sent as Soon as He Has Been Heard From. Special Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, May 3. Secretary Long announced to-day that as soon as the department received any officlal word from Commodore Dewey confirming the press accounts of his victory in the battle of Manila a cablegram would be sent to the officer congratulating him upon the splendid performance of the American fleet un- der his direction. “Moreover,” said the Secrefary, * soon as the necessary confirmation | at.hand, Commodore Dewey will b made an admiral in recognition of his valor. This will be accomplished imme- diately by an executive order designat- ing him acting admiral, just as was done in the case of Captain Sampson. Later he probably will be nominated to the Senate in the usual course for promotion to the rank of admiral.” None of the stories coming from Spanish sources as to the battle of Ma- nila appears quite so ridiculous to na- val eyes as the solemn statement that Commodore Dewey fired Manila and the Spanish ships by the use of pe- troleum bombs. As a matter of fact, there s no such weapon of warfare in the American navy. The ordinary ser- vice shell is very much more destruc- tive and quite capable of causing a fire among combustible material. This is plainly shown by the destruction of ships through fires caused by service shells during the Japanese-Chinese war. It was a disclosure of the great dan- ger to men-of-war thus brought promi- nently forward that led Secretary Her- bert to order reGuced to a minimum all the wood work on American ships and to have all of this wood made fireproof. One of the first results of the battle of Manila therefore is likely to be the cessation of the efforts which had been making for some time past to abandon the fire-proofing treatment of wood- work because of certain minor incon- veniences from the use of wood thus treated.
