C.?The surrender of the city of Manila to the American forces was prearranged, according to a statement made by Admiral Dewey before tbe Senate Pbilippines Committee. This statement, be said, bad never before been made public, but that it was true, nevertheless. Tbe Governor-General of Manila bad surrendered to blm at tbe time Montojo's fleet was sunk, and when the formal surrender was made It was in pursuance of a definite understanding between himself and the Spanish Governor-General. The Admiral said be could not entertain a proposal of a formal surrender at that time, because ' be had no troops to occupy tbe city. He also flred a few shots at the city and killed a few people at tbe request ?Vi/? ^romnr.flonora 1 hpfnro thp formal surrender was made. Although devoid of seusatlonal features, the bearing of Admiral Dewey was of much Interest The Admiral was questioned bj Seni i L PANAMA AND NICARAGUA ator Lodge. He said he bad first beard from Agulnaldo and bis friends ( about April 1. 1808, a month before the battle tn Manila Bay, when it became certain that there waa to be war. MI then heard that theto were a number of Filipinos who desired to accompany the fleet to Manila." he continued. "All of tbem were young and earnest 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, saying that Agulnaldo was at Singapore and would Join me at Hongkong. I replied: 'All right; tell him to come aboard,' but I attached so little importance to the message that I sailed without Agulnaldo and before he arrived.

None did arise, and I frequently Joked him on this point" He told about Agulnaldo's arrival, saying that he put him ashore and told him to organise his people. Agulnaldo came back discouraged and wanted to go to Japan, but the Admiral told him to continue his efforts. The Admiral said be paid no attention to Agulnaldo's first proclamation of independence of the Filipinos. Speaking of Agulnaldo's military operations he said be did wonderfully in whipping the Spanish. Admiral Dewey said emphatically that he never had recognised Agulnaldo's government; nor did b? salute Agulnaldo's flag: be never called Agulnaldo "general." but addressed him as "Don Emilio." The Admiral said be had never given the Philippine Republic the slightest | recognition; that be bad no authority I 4n mn and hm iint PAfifildpr it an organized government. He said the Spaniards were fearfnl of the Filipinos entering Manila, and. therefore. surrendered to blm in advance. He said there was no need for the loss of a man in the capture of the city. No Run would have been fired but for the desire of the Governor, who said 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 (Dewey) bad warned them not to do so. 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 be knew that the American people had little information concerning the Filipinos. He said that when be let the Filipinos have guns and ammunition he thought it was a military necessity. Looking backward he could see that they were not needed. He considered I ?-?-!

His right thigh and two ribs were fractured. The first of the two accidents occurred when John Morlah, Albert David and two other miners were loading cars 770 feet below the surface. This was about live o'clock. At three o'clock a heavy blast had been set or. and the men had been warned net to go near the place until the earth had a chance to settle. The warning was not heeded.

It was only a little while after the descent that the bell Id the engine house rang. When the skip was hoisted to th? surface, Trevarthorn appeared, bleeding from a cut ou the head. He said that while trying to get at the body of one victim another mass of ore had fallen, completely burying his four companions, while he himself nearly had shared the same fate. Many men volunteered to go down the slope, Trevarthorn among them. About midnight they brought the bodies to the surface. Mayor Fined by Police Judgm.
