THE SAN FRANCISCO .CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1902. Prayers for the Recovery of the Afflicted Sovereign Are Offered at St. Paul’s and Other Churches. ONDON, June 2.—At the hour, gation the choir advanced to the chancel when the King been crowned, a great and dis- tinguished gathering, almost identical with that which would have sat in Westminster Ab- bey, gathered in St. Paul's Cathedral.

The anthem and the _singing of the hymn, “Thiné Arm, O Lord, in Days of Old Was Strong to Heal and Save,” and Psalm 51_concluded the service, where- upon the Bishop of London, surrounded by the Archbishops and Bishops, from the altar steps, impressively pronounced the benediction. For a few moments complete silence reigned and heads were bowed in prayer, after which the almost blind Arch- bishop of Canterbury was carefully led down the steps, the procession re-formed and the congregation went into the sun- ight, gladly discussing the wording of the latest bulletin from Buckingham Palace. Simultaneously a similar service was conducted at _St. Margaret's Church, Westminster. It was largely attended by Cabinet Ministers, peers and members of the House of Commons, and was conclud- ed with singing “God Save the King.” From India, Australia and Africa, ev- erywhere that Britons congregated, tele- grams announce the holding of impres- sive, supplicatory services. night along the Strand was thronged with crowds of people who usually con- finea themselves to taking a farewell look a: the decorations gradually disappear- ing from the front of Buckinghany Pal- ace. Only a slim gathering awaited the night bulletin and when that was posted the royal residence, save for a few strag- glers, became deserted. Inside the palace the members of the royal family spent a quiet evening and -the number of callers was smaller than ; night this week. With the favorable progress of the King there is much discussion as to how the coronation. will eventually be effected. While nothing has in any way been def- initely settled, it appears that King Ed- ward is likely to .celebrate this event very quietly .and with merely the cere- mony that attends the opening of Parlia- ment. This consists of a drive direct to West- minster Abbey, accompanied by a small escort, and a speedy return to Bucking- ham Palace, and it is rumored that no foreign princes or envoys will be espe- clally invited for the occasion. All this, ©: couree, is quite in the air, but it forms one of the chief topics of London’s daily conversation. Hundreds of visitors to.London, espe- cially Americans and people from the country, flocked to Westminster Abbey 0 and until late at night curious and rither awe-stricken crowds of spectators stced gazing at the place where King Ed- ward VII should have been crowned. The ortificial coronation annex, which is one of the few parts of the abbey not hidden by stands, attracted special attention. Providing King dward maintains his present rate of improvement London will soon be emptied of its holiday crowd and }?;-wg;:(ép(:ged coronatjon will be looked as an occ - L e mar?son for thanksgiv. o P A SING “GOD SAVE THE XKING.” Delegates at Synday School Conven- tion Show Sympathy.

Indeed, his recovery is now, humanly speaking, regarded as practically certain. The greatest relief is felt in royal circles. We are pleased to be able to state that the Queen, who visited the sick-room several times during the day, is experiencing the keenest satisfaction. The King himseif is answering every expectation of his doc- tors. His general condition is excellent. There are no organic troubles of any kind. He is now able to see members of his family, peruse newspapers and open most of his own letters and telegrams. He is taking the keenest interest in what is be- ing said and done in the -world outside. He is now permitted to smoke. He is also able to take substantial nour- ishment, such as beef tea, milk and other light forms of diet.” —_— Pope Is Distressed.

LONDON, June 26.—Mr. and Mrs. ‘Whitelaw Reid, after services at St. ¥Paul's to-day, were entertained at lun- cheon at the residence of Lord Lans- downe, the Foreign Secretary, when Mr. Reid formally took his leave as special embassador. The only remaining formal- ity is his official leave-taking of ' the Prince of Wales, which will probably be arranged for to-morrow. Thereafter the American special embassy will dissolve, Mr. and Mrs. Reid and General James H. ‘Wilson, who was to have represented the army of the United States at the coro- nation, and Mrs. Wilson going to the Con- tinent and the other members of Mr. Reid's suite scattering., ¢Chey will return later to London in their private capacity.

ONDON, June 2. — London never looked brighter or gayer in the dazzling sunshine than it did to-day, which had been set apart for the corona- tion of the King. It was a trifle warm, but a cooling breeze rippled the flags and bunting and threw refresh- ing sprays of dancing mist from the foun- tains in Trafalgar Square. ¢ Pall Mall, Piccadilly, the Strand and Fleet street were jammed-and congested with vehicles of all description, from the cart of a gibing costemonger to‘the state- ly coach of royalty, with pompous ser- vants in red coats and powdered wigs. Different in many respects from that of the day before was the scene about Buckingham Palace. Throngs of ~people were out early to learn what progress the King was making, but the reassuring character of the early bulletins sent most of them on their way with lighter hearts. KNEELS IN PRAYER. One incident of the night was furnished by an elderly and respectably dressed woman, who, just before daybreak, came walking slowly up the Mall. When oppo- site the palace gates she dropped on her knees in the attitude of prayer. Cyclists came early to make induiries, but at 9 o'clock there was only a small crowd of people outside the railings. People came and went during the'day, but manifested more curiosity in the distinguished visit- ors and their carriages than in what might be happening inside the palace. Princess Victoria drove out about 9:30, remaining about an hour. Perhaps the crowd outside the palace was the great- est hetween 10 and 11 o’clock. When one of the servants, bearing baize-covered boardshcontaining bulletins, came out of the palace doors, a rush was made for him and he was eagerly questioned, but he gave no heed and quietly hung up the bul- letin board. The man who put up the board of royal news in Buckingham Pal- ace road was almost mobbed as he pro- ceeded to his destination. The Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince and Princess Henry of Prussia, the Duke of Cambridge and most-of the for- eign envoys called during ‘the day. It is generally understood that should his Majesty’'s health permit the coronation will undoubtedly take place toward au- tumn, only, most probably, under quieter circumstances. MEDICAL MEN DIFFER. In the medical profession there are nor wanting opinions which, so far from approving the course of action taken by the medical men in attendance upon the ward’s iliness and immediately telegraph- ' 30,000 men. King, criticize it severely. In the first ’ ADMIRAL DEWEY THROWS NEW LIGHT ON AMNERICAN OPERATIONS AT FlANlLA ASHINGTON, June 26. — Ad- miral Dewey made a state- ment before the Senate Com- mittee on the Philippines to- day concerning the early op- erations at Manila, when he was in com- mand of the American naval forces in Philippine watersg® “Fhe admiral's state- ment contributed @n important addition to the history of the surrender of the city of Manila. This consisted of a positive statement by the admiral to the effect that the city had been surrendered to him at” the time that the Spanish fleet was sunk, and that when the city did surrender it was in pursuance of a defii- nite understanding between himself and the Spanish Governor General. The admiral was questioned by Senator Ledge. He sald he had first heard from Aguinaldo and his friends about April 1, 1898, when it became certain that there was to be war. Continuing, he said: I then heard that there were a number of Filipinos who_desired to accompany the flezt to Manila. All of them were young and earn- est. I did not attach much importance to them or to what they said. The day before we left Hongkong I received a telegram from Consul General Pratt, located at Singapore, saving that Aguinaido was at Singapore and would join me at Hongkong. 1 replied, ““All right, teil him to come aboard,”” but I attached so little importance to the message that I sailed without Aguinaldo and beforc he arrived. | Thu were then many promises as to what | tee Filipinos would do, but I did not depend upon them. Consul Willlams assured me that upon our arrival and the firing of the first gun 306,000 Filipinos would rise. None did Tise, and 1 frequently poked him on this point. AGUINALDO’S PROCLAMATION. Admiral Dewey then said the Spanish Government wanted to surrender the city to him after the destruction of the fleet and that he (Dewey) would have accep- ted the formal surrender if he had had 5000 troops to garrison the city. He told about Aguinaldo’s arrival, saying that he ut him ashore and told him to organize is people. Aguinaldo came back dis- couraged and wanted to go to Japan, but the admiral told him to continue his ef- forts. The admiral said he paid no at- tention to Aguinaldo’s first proclamation of independence of the Filipinos. Speak- ing of Aguinaldo’s military operations, he said he did wonderfully in whipping the Spanish. Admiral Dewey sald emphatically that he never had recognized Aguinaldo’s Government, nor did he salute Aguinal- do’s flag, he never called Aguinaldo ‘“gen- eral,” but addressed him as Don Emilin. The admiral sald he had not given the Filipino Government the slightest recog- nition, that he had no authority to do so and did not consider it an organized government. He sald the Spaniards were fearful of the Filipinos entering Manila and therefore surrendered to him in ad- vance. He said there was no need for the logs of a man in the capture of the city. No gun would have been fired, but for the desire of the Governor, who said that his honor demanded that a few shots be fired, “So I had to fire and kill a few people,” said the admiral, but the. Spaniards did not fire because he (Dew- ey) had warned them not to do so. He did not believe the Filipinos could have taken the city unaided, but the Spaniards were greatly demoralized. The admiral said he never recelved a letter from Consul Pratt telling him he must co-operate with Aguinaldo. He added that Pratt wrote a number of foolish letters about that time. SURRENDER OF MANILA. Admiral Dewey said he had written the Navy Department that the Filipinos were more capable of self-government than the Cubans because he saw that Congress contemplated giving independence to Cuba and he knew that the American people :n?d little information concerning the Fil- ipios. In explanation of his statement that the city of Manila had surrendered on the day of the destruction of the Spanish fleot Admiral Déewey gaid that during the naval engagement land guns had been fired at him by the shore batteries and that as soon as the Spanish squadron was de- stroyed he steamed toward the city, send- lng ‘word to the Government that if an- other shot was fired from the shore he ‘would fire on the city. Continuing, Admir- al Dewey said: The Governor replied that if T id not fire on the city The shore batteries would remain silent. The Spanish flag Was not taken down but white flags were raised in token of sur- render and If I had had with me 5000 troops with which to ocoupy the city I could have taken it and held it. I anchored my ships un- der his guns, 2000 yards away and lay there twenty-four hours. During that'time the Gov- ernor General sent word to several times that he wanted to surrender to me—to the navy. I could not entertain his proposition of a formal surrender because of the lack of troops to take possession of the gity. The admiral said that after Agulnaldo got his forces organized he occupled Cavite, but when he (Dewey) learned that American troops were expected to arrive soon he asked them to retire. They at first demurred, but ultimately consented. After this time, on July 15, Aguinaldo sent to him from Bacoor his first procla- mation of the independence of the Fili- pinos. said: That proclamation was the first intimation I had received of the aspirations of the Flli- pino people for an independent government. Aguinaldo had never told me that the inde- pendence of his people was his aim. But when the proclamation came I thought noth- ing of it. Indeed, I attached so little import- ance to it that I did not cable it to Washing- ton, but left its transmjssion to the mails. WHY HE FIRED ON CITY. When Senatgr Lodge asked the admiral, “Did you recognize the Filipino republic?” he replied: T aid not. The admiral, golng into details, I never gaye the slightest Tecog- nition. 1 had no authority to do so. and, be- sides, did not consider it.an organized. gov- ernment. There was a reign of terror, and the Filipino forces were riding roughshod over the community, committing many acts of cruelty, I sent word to Aguinaldo that he must treat his prisoners kindly, and he repiled that he ‘would. “What would_have been the effect of permitting the Filipino force to enter Ma- nila when our troops entered?’ asked Senator Lodge. The Spanlards were very fearful of the re- sult of such a course, and, therefore, they surrendered to me in advance. That was all arranged, and there was no need for the loss of & man in the capture of the city. It was to be done at a signal, and no gun need have been fired by us but for the desire of the Governor General, who said his honor de- manded that a few shots should be fired. So that I had to fire and kill a few people, but the Spaniards did not fire because of my warn- ing that it would be disastrous to the city for them to do so. They had in the city 15,000 troops and forty-seven rified guns. Admiral Dewey added that he was pleased to supply the committee with this history. It had, he said, never been printed and he had been reserving it with the view of writing the story himself. He had copies of some of the communications received by him, made because of this purpose, but none of those from Pratt, as he regarded him as a busybody, devoting much time to interfering with the busi- ness of other people. GREW TIRED OF AGUINALDO. ‘“He was Consul Gencral of the United States,” Patterson of Tennessee sug- gested, and the witness replied, ““Yes, but he had nothing to do with the attack on Manila."” Raturning from his departure from Hongkong, Admiral Dewey repeated that he had left for Manila without Aguinaldo, saying he dhad left as early as he aid largely because he wanted to get rid of him and the other “little brown men,” many of whom' were constantly coming aboard the flagship. “I was very busy,” he said, “getting ready for battle and they were -after me constantly, taking up my time. None of them went with me to Mirs Bay, for various reasons. One of them failed to do so, because he did not have his tooth brush with him.” The Hongkong Filipinos had not, he added, told him of any insurrection in the thppwes and he had consented to see them on the same principle that a man ves money'to a man to get rid.of him. ndeed, he himself had given Aguinaldo the first information the latter had re- cefved that the Filipinos were assembling near Manila. i ‘When asked in cross-examination if he had not repeated his original statement to the Navy Department that the Fili- pinos were more capable of independent soev‘:mment than the Cubans, Admiral ‘wey replied in the affirmative, saying: “I did, and still think so.” FILIPINOS ARE UNGRATEFUL. Senator Carmack called Admiral Dew- ey’s attention to the fact that he glven arms to Aguinaldo, notwithstand- ing the Governor General had told bim that he would surrender the city at any time, and asked why he had.done go in the face of that understanding. The reply was to the effect that he considered it a proper military act. Continuing, the ad- miral said: The Filipinos were our friends and they were doing our work. I believed that they were g0 delighted to get rid of the Spaniards that they would accept us with open arms. Even when Aguinaldo was at the height of his power at Molalos, Admiral Seymour of the British navy had told Aguinaldo that he should tie to the Americans as they were their best friends. and were helping us. We had no troops to land, and 1 kuew that the more closely city ‘was invested the easier it would be to take it when our own'troops should arrive. Still I think we could have. got on as weil without them. It was thelr own idea. We all know that hindsight. i§ better than fore- sight. Looking back, I would not have had the Filjpinos join me. but I thought they. would be friendly, and T think they were very ungrateful to turn against us. When I permitted Aguinaldo to go ashore 1 did not know that the United States troops would be sent. I was a long way from home and I was meeting emergencles as they arase. Whatever 1 did, I did according to my best judgment at the time. Later I said to Agul- naldo: ““There Is the enemy; you pursue your coursc and we will pursue ours.” I think that is the wisest thing I ever said. TAKING OF SUBIG BAY. They were assisting us and at_the same time fighting thelr own battle. 1 had fn my mind in dealing with the Filipinos the assist- ance that the negroes had given the Federai forces during the Civil War. We avalled ow- ~ The Filipinos were then our frierids | i more redtrictions selves of that assistance, and I thought would accept the ald of the Filipinos in the same way. The one {dea was to get rid of the Spanfards, and I belleve that if on May 1, before the Insurrection was*organized, we had had there a few American troops, the Filipinos would have accepted us and that they would have remained loyal. His reason for taking possession of Su- big Bay was because he ‘‘did not want any other power to interfere.” The admirdl was still on the stand when the committee adjourned until to-morrow. A letter was submitted from'Secretary Root; inclosing a cablegram General cmd«w to_the oft-denied report of the: shoot! :af 1099 Filipino prisoners at Irofin. -General Chaffee shows that the matter had been thoroughly investigat Admirgl, Walker, who was said to h: written “the letter containing this charge to his father in Massachusetts, denies it and all' of the command deny it. Details of the operations of the troops are given to show that the report is untrue. g lie o PASS A BILL BY PARTY VOTE. House Measure for Civil Governme)t of Philippines. WASHINGTON, June 26.—At 8 o'clock to-night at the end of a nine-hour session and of a debate lasting night and day for a week, the House passed the Philippine civil government bill practicallv as it came from the committee. It was a party vote—141 to 97, with the exception of Mc- Call _of Massachusetts, who voted with the Democrats. The minority substitute for the establishment of a temporary gov- ernment in the islands and their perma- nent independence as soon as a stable gov- ernment could be established, was defeat- ed by 9 to 186. The debate during the day was at times of a lively character. The Democrats of- fered a multitude of amendments, but all were_voly down, including one offered by Patferson of Tennessee to prohibit slavery or involuntary servitude in the islands. The most interest attached to an _amendment offered by MecCall to the end that the bill-declare the policy of the United States to be to develop the capac- ity of the Filipinos for self-government and pledging the faith of the United States to grant them self-government. He supported the amendment in an eloquent sgeech, and the Democrats challenged their political adversaries to declare their future policy. Grosvenor of Ohio and Cooper of Wisconsin said it would be un- wise to mortgage the future by making such a declaration now, and the latter quoted Governor Taft as saying that such a promise now would tend to prevent the pacification of the islands. The amend- ment was lost, 8§ to 128 It was a strict party vote, except for McCall and Little- fleld of Maine, who voted with the Demc- crats for the amendment. The substitute for the Senate Philipping civil government bill differs from the bi as it passed the Senate In many minor particulars, but principally in the follow- ing: ‘5he House substitute provides for a complete system of civil government, with a legislature to consist of two houses, one of which shaill elected by the Filipino people. The Senate bill contained no such pro- ' vision. The Legislature is to be chosen after the ‘“‘existing insurrection in the Philippines shall have ceased and com plete peace shall have been establishe:! therein and the fact certified to the Presi dent by the Philippine Commission." The House substitute amplifies ““the bil of rights” enumerated in the Senatc measure and adds to the number of issue which can be_appealed to the Suprem Court of the United States. The Hous- measure also defines, with greater detail than the Senate, the rights of citizenshi; of those residing in the islands, and pru- vides that all residents shall receive thc same protection from the United State: in respect to their relation with foreig: Governments as is accorded to citizens o. the United States. One of the most important differences between the Senate and House bills is that relating to coinage. The Senate pro vided a silver standard somewhat in ex- tension and perfection of that now in ex- istence. The House measure provides a fold standard system, with the gold dol- ar of the United States as the standard unit of value for the islands. The main coin is to be the peso, made in silver, but of gold value, and this is to be divided into subsidiary pleces of money bearing devices emblematic of American sover- eignty. Provision is also made for a sys- tem of paper currency, banks, and for a complete financial system, the details be- mz,l different from those in the Senatc measure, although following the same general lines In dealing with the grant of franc] , the substitute places many n such grants than the Senate bill. In this respect restrictions provided by the House follow the lines of those provided for Porto Rico. Both bills grovlde for acquiring the friar lands and or the issue of bonds sufficient to pay for the lands, the Senate provision mak- ing the interest rate 4% per cent, the House 5 per cent.

Had public notification been made at the time it would have saved thousands and thou- sands of pounds which have been spent in useless decorations and preparations. But this afternoon several practitioners Were even more severe. According to well authenticated reports, the King has been allowed to sit up in bed and read the newspapers; also that besides the Queen, who is in the sick- Toomr a great part of the time, his Majesty had seen and talked to the Prince of ‘Wales and his three daughters. f this is true,” said one practitioner, “it is running the greatest risk. For forty- eight hours after such an operation it is vitally important that the Pl!ient shouid e as motionless as possible and see no one exceézt the surgeon and nurses. “According to a patient of Sir Fred- erick Treves, who was operated on for appendicitis, for two weeks previous to going under the knife, he lived a life of the utmost quietness, lying down the reater gart of the time, eating light '0ods and having for sole exercise dally drives. Railway journeys, especially, he was told, must be avoided, and with all this, the greatest care must pe taken to insure regularity and avoid chills. In a fortnight's time he was operated upon. VIOLATES THE RULES. “Even assuming that the King did not drive about at Windsor, it would seem he did not carry out the rules which were indispensable if he were desirous of averting the dangers of peritonitis.

Heightened temperature and high pulse indicate the formation of pus and may necessitate reopening the incision.” ‘“To_a satisfactory note in yesterday's bulletin,” says the Daily Telegraph, “a welcome echo is found in medical cir- cles. The general opinion may be sum- med up in the, observation of one gen- tleman that, although there is every reason for grave anxiety, there is none for actual fear. Everything turas upon the possibility of a reerudescence of the septic conditions in the wound, and it is needless to say, in such hands as those who have charge of his Majesty's case, all that human skill can do will be done to avert such a mischance.” e e e s ] AGREES O CANAL QUESTION Continued From Page One. and moving for its adoption Hepburn sald that he had not changed his opin- ion in any degree on the main points of difference between the Senate and the House bill. In regard to the route, he still belleved in Nicaragua, and in regard to the construction, he still believed in what he called the central idea, that in the building of such a great work, far removed from the American borders, all the power should be placed in the hands of one person instead of a commission. He thought that possible scanaal corruption could be better avoided with centralized power. In regard to new Panama Company had anything to sell which the United. States ought to buy. He was_very emphatic in his be- lief that the President would never find his way clear to construct the canal by the Panama route. After a brief debate the roll call was ordered on the adop- tion of the conference report and it was accepted by the House by a vote of 252 to 8. Those voting in the negative were, Ball (Texas), Bell (Colorado), Hay (Vir- ginia), Jones (Virginia), Claude Kitchen (North_Cardlina), Loud (Californla),cNEe- ville (Nebraska), Woods (California).
