—s ==3 THE SEATTLE VOL. I, DEWEY COMES Notice to That Effect Is Posted Today’ by the Secretary of the Navy. WASHINGTON, May 12.—The Navy department today posted a bul- fetin stating that Admiral Dewey would start at once for the United States. The department has directed that all mafi intended for the Olym Dla, Dewey's agehip, shall hy rth be sent to the United States mall distributing agent at Lond This would seem to indicate that the ad- miral will certainly return by the Sues canal route, and not by way of Gan Francisco, It also indicates the belief of the government that hoe- tilities in the Philippines are near an end, as Dewey would not depart as tong as there remained any need for his services. Secretary Long, in answer to @ telegram from the Mayor of New York, expressing the desire that Dewey should arrive first in this coun try at New York, has replied that the department is disposed to let the | admiral govern himself in the matter, but says that he understands that Dewey prefers to return via the Sues canal, NEW YORK, May !1.—Mra. Dora Smith, who applied today for all- mony im a suit for divorce brought against her by Charles Smith, said his evidence proved that her husband had driven a Mr. Stanley, of Los Angeles, to commit suicide, after having tried to murder his ‘wife. Mrs. Smith said her husband had been too friendly with Mra. Stanley, and when Stanley discover-ed this, he shot at Mrs. Stanley, and, believing her to be mortally wounded, shot himeelf dead. Mrs, Smith showed clippings from Los Angeles papers, in which the alleged suicide end attempted murder was detailed at length. MANILA, May 12.--The exhausted troops in MacArthur's division ‘Will soon be relieved, as fresh troops are already being sent to the front ‘Two battalions of the Seventeenth infantry recetved orders today to join MacArthur tomorrow, and another battalion of the same regiment | will go to Bacotor to reinforce Lawton. The men of the Twenty-fourth who arrived here yesterday from the United States, will take the places of those men in the lines about the city. The Spantwh gunboats recently purchaged have been placed under the command of Capt. Grant, of the Utah battery, and are being rapidty armed. The petition of the men of the Piret Nebraska asking that they be temporarily relieved from active service, does pot meet with disfavor. The regiment is badly exhausted, not over 20° being ft for service in the field. Some of them have not been able to wash thelr clothes for several months. The officers of the regiment will present a similar petition to Mac- (Arthur.

A syndicate of Poston capitalists, headed by C. A. Stone and L. J Webster, have practically conctuded a deal to purchase the following rall- | way lines In this city: The Unioa Trunk Line, Firat Avenue Cabie, S- attie Traction, Madison Avenue Cable, West Street Electric, and Third Avenue & Suburban. These properties will be operated under one man- agement, and a transfer system will be adopted covering all of them, so that a continuous ride can be taken from one end of the city to the other end for @ five cent fare. The purchasers will Incorporate a new company under the laws of New Jersey, with a maximum authorized capital of $5,000,000. The price offered for the properties is not stated. It f claimed, however, that $1,000,000 will be devoted to betterments and to the building of new nes and extensions. The new company will demand of the city a forty year franchise, Claiming that it i# entitied to the same in exchange for the adoption of the free transfer system, and also by reason of the fact that six lines not now paying revenue to the city will be brought within the scope of the charter and be made to pay a certain sum of money into the city treasury. It is claimed that forty year franchise will be required 10 float thirty year 5 per cent. bonds. A local board of trustees, including Jacob Furth, J. D. Lowman, Maurice MeMicken and George B. Bianch- ard, will probabiy have control of the properties. It is alleged that the General Electric company and the Consumers Electric company will be closely identified with the new combine, inas- Much as considerable quantities of stock In three of the lines absorbed fhas long been in the posscasion of the electric people, having been tak- fn as security for equipment furnished. No general manager for the consolidated lines has yet been selected. | Jacob Furth, who is one of the local representatives of the eastern company, was seen this morning by « Star representative, In disew ing the proposed consolidation, he said: “Messrs C. A. Stone and L. J. Webster have made a cash deposit as a guarantee, and when a re Chise is granted the total amount of the purchase price will be paid to the franchise, I have no doubt but that the city council will print one for forty years. The consolidation of the street railways will mean more to Seattle than any other thing. First it will give the people the benefit of the transfer system. Sec-ond ft will place the car system up to a higher standard. Third, the company will pay the city a large per Cent. of ita earnings “As to how the $1,000,000 for improvements will be spent I can only | n of the Unton Trunk line has been Bay that so far, mentioned with the Traction line only the exten on Pike street.
