The brains are back of him. In Ms»

there they know who is responsible for

tended the efforts of the Filipinos to
rebel against our government. Aguin-
aldo was only a clerk in the pavy yard
1t' Manila before'he took the field
against the Spanish. The men who sc-
tuaiiy have the most inilucnco among
the Filipinos are a number of lawyers.
unquestionably able men.
“I have a‘yery tine cane made of aa-
tive wood and trimmed with gold. that
was presented to me by Aguisaldo. We
became quite friendly before the Insur-
gents became our enemies. So far as
that goes we are friends yet." and Dew-
ey gave a quluical smile. The photo-
graph of General Luna, a typical Flir-
piuo, with a decided strain of negro In
appearance. bars on its back an in-
scriptionwritten by the archbishop oi
Manila. Bernsdino Nesaleda.
“The archbishop," said Dewey. with
another of those quiet smiles, "is the
gentleman who declared that the Space
:sh fleet would wipe the scum of‘thc
earth off the face of the see. when the
Spaniards heard that we were on our
way to‘ Manila. '
"'Well. the archbishop became a good
friend of mine in good'time. and we
passed many a pleasant hour together
on the Olympia. I remember very dis-
tinctly one day, when he turned to me
on the quarter deck and pointiug‘to
the crew mustered forward. said: 'Ad-
miral. you must be a proud man to
know that you have command of such
a line body of men and to know that
they respect and love you.’
"I answered that our ship was only
one'oi many on which the same rela-
tious existed and where the crews
were made up of just the same tine
chaps. The archbishop was quiet for
a moment and then said with every
show of feeling: “Admiral, they arc
not the scum of the earth. I have seen
the ships and crews of every nation.
but I have never seen what In shown
to me on this American warship! i
called to one oi the men and asked
hlmz’ ’How much do you get a month? .
'Etghty dollars' he said. with a as-
lots."
.. Dewey smiled again in his quiet way.
W‘That's more than a whole ship's crew
gets on board a Spanish man of war.
Why should we not have the pick of
hbennhtamd'aot'metairsan show It
a the'way they fought'at lauila, and
have not.thsy shown it ever since? ,
“The-archbishop was not the only
man who was won to admiration by
the bravery and splendid appearance
oi our men. They all tilted us. all oi
them. but they were dietrustful of us
after 300 years oi Spanish rule and
tyranny. They thought that we meant
to do them good. but they were not
sure. and well, It's too long a story
to tell now. It's bound to come right.
though." ‘
The criticism aimed at General Otis
was mentioned and Deweysni'd: ”the
last thing that I told Otis when I left
Manila was this: 'You're trying to do
too much.’ . He's down there wearing
himself out, and more than once have

too. General Otis is an unusually
painstaking man. and as he's not only
governor general but directing the
movements oi the army in the field.
he's working with might and soul at
everything that comes under his no-
ting“ the way of putting down the
rebellion and bringing order out of
chaos is the islands.
"It's altogether too much work for
one man, and Otis has some exception-
al lieutenants. With the new troops
being hurried to him. and our com.
paratlve familiarity with what we have
to overcome there. I think that the out-
look is s cheering one."
The talk then swing to cautious
about his health. to which the admiral
answered: "I'feel very well. thank
you: much better than the day l left

great good. and with great considera-
tion the department did" not enjoin
