the fashion originated in New York,

Washington. D. 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

formal surrender was made. Although
devoid of seusatlonal features, the
bearing of Admiral Dewey was of
much Interest
The Admiral was questioned bj Seni

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.
There were then many prom*?

do. bat I did not depend upon tbem.
Consul Williams assured me that upon
our arrival and the firing of the first
gun 30,000 Filipinos would rise. 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

Representative Hepburn, of Iowa,

as Representative Hepburn and
others said, that it really meant that
the canal would be constructed on the
Nlcaraguan route, since they did not
think the President would be able to
get' a satisfactory title to the Panama
Canal property.
In the Senate the conference report
on the Canal bill was presented by Mr.

This was about live o'clock. At three
o'clock a heavy blast had been set or.
and the men had been warned net

had a chance to settle.
The warning was not heeded. The
men were engaged In loading a car

The others gave the alarm. Several
men brought Morlah to the surCace>

David, although warned. It was only
a little while after the descent that

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

About midnight they brought the bodies
to the surface.

Washington. I>. C.? Quietly and languidly
in the Seuate tU?? tirst session of
:he Fifty-seventh Congrcsc came to a
'lose at 5.30 o'clock p. m. Tuesday. eodng
a dull day with au hour of dignlded
iraking for the end. without even the
usual crowd la the galleries. In the

was hardly a moment of the day when
the occupants of rlic galleries did not
9nd Something n orth seeing and bearing,
and at the end the liberated servants
of the peoifle frolicked and akjr*
Larked like a pack of schoolboys at
the tteginnlng of vacation.
Outside of the agreements to conference
reports nothing of great consequence
was done in either body. When
the Senate convened some humorous
comment was occasioned among tbe
spectators by the appearance of Senator
Patterson o?i the tloor with a long
speech on tbe Philippine question. Mr.
Patterson bait talked more than any
other Senator during tbe session and
people of sportiug proclivities bad offered
bets that the last day of tbe nession
would not go by without a long
speech from him. Thy conference reports
on the Philippine and Naval Appropriation
bills were tbe important ,
businesses, and they were passeif without
incident.
At 3.10 in tup arternoon toe resolution
to adjourn at 5.30 o'clock was
passed. The last executive session began
at 4.25 and lusted eleven minute*.
By this time all tbe business bad been
cleared up. A recess was taken until
5 o'clock, and the crowds in the galleries
swarmed over to tbe House and did
not come back. At 5 o'clock President
Frye took the chair again. It waa a
dismal sort of a half hour. Not more
than twenty Senators were present;
and, except tor the announcement of
the passage of bills, no business waa
transacted.
Senator Cockrell. in accordance with
his custom, presented a resolution of
thanks to tbe presiding officer, to which
Mr. Frye responded in a little speech,
and then at one minute ahead of
time?be declared tbe Senate. adjourned.
Everybody who was still in
the chamber rushed out.
Very different waa the closing day
ib toe nouse. Aiiae ironi me coaier*
ence report*, tbe business of chief importance
waa tbe passing of tbe bill to
promote tbe efficiency of tbe Marine
Hospital 8ervice and change its name
to tbe Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service. But there were plenty of
other billa, mostly of no importance.
After tbe House adjourned a striking
scene waa witnessed. Speaker Henderson's
words of thanks wore ringing la
theearsoftbemembers.and tbelrentbnliasm
found expression in song. Under
tbe lead of Representatives Lessler,
Blackburn. Watson. Southwlck and a
few others. "America." "For He's a
Jolly Good Fellow" and the "Star
Spangled Banner" were sung, tbe galleries
Joining in the strain* and en<
Joying tbe unusunl demonstration.
While singing "Joliy Good Fellow" the
members bled- by Speaker Henderson,
who took up a position in front of tbe
pit. and each one in tb^ crowd shook
his band and wished him a pleasant
summer.
President Roosevelt, accompanied by
Secretaries Hay, Shaw. Moody. Hitch,
cock and Wilson and Postmaster-General
Payne, went to the Gapitol in or*
der to facilitate tbe work of Congress,
and in bis room in tbe Senate wing of
the Capitol the President signed the
Philippine Civil Government niu, tne
Naval Appropriation hill, and other
measures that went through in tb?
closing hours of Congress.
