Dewey Wanted to Capture Manila Twenty-five Twenty-five Tears Ago. Washington, Aug. 9. An interesting historical fact dated back to 1873, has come to light in which Admiral Dewey was the central figure. Dewey, then a commander, was in command of the United States steamer Narragansett on the Asiatic station, having taken charge of the vessel on March 1, 1873. The vessel was on surveying duty when the Virginus trouble was precipitated and a war with Spain seemed imminent. immi-nent. Commander Dewey wrote to the navy department requesting that in case war was declared he should be assigned to the duty of capturing Manila. The peace settlement of the controversy with Spain avoided the necessity for a hostile demonstration, but the interesting inter-esting fact is that the doughty officer had his eye on Manila over a quarter of a century ago. A search will be made for the letter in the files of the navy department and if found it is expected an effort will be made by the citizen's committee to have it reproduced as a souvenir of the reception to be tendered Admiral Dowey upon his arrival here.

They are all well fixed financially, finan-cially, nearly all of them haying saved the 8200 per head which the Mexican government paid them when they signed the treaty of peace two years ago. They have been making money since then, too, and it is known to be a fact that they have been laying in big supplies of arms and ammunition for some time past.

Two Hundred Excursionists Thrown Into the Water by Breaking of Uan Plank.' Bar Harbor, Me., Aug. 8. A score of persons were killed by the collapse of the gang plank of the Mount Deseret ferry. Seventeen were drowned and three died from the terrible experience of immersion in the water and injuries while struggling for life. The Maine Central railroad had run an excursion to P. ar Harbor. At Mount Deseret ferry, the terminus of the line, the train is left for the boat, for an eighteen-mile sail to Bar Harbor. From the wharf a slip or gang plank, forty feet long and ten feet wide ran out to the boat; the slip was hinged at the inner end and was raised or lowered low-ered to suit the tide. When the excursion train from Bangor Ban-gor arrived at the ferry there was a rush for the steamer Sappho. The first few passengers had crossed the gang plank safely and it is estimated that 200 people were massed on the plank. The long timbers supporting the plank broke in the middle. The hinges held up one end and the chain the other, while the broken ends of the plank dropped and a struggling, screaming mass of humanity was plunged into the water fifteen feet below the wharf. Many were taken from the water unconscious un-conscious and were revived with difficulty. diffi-culty. FORTY PEOPLE KILLED. Loaded Trolley Car Plunges f'hrough a Trestle, Falling Forty Fet. Bridgeport, Conn., Aug. 8 Nearly forty persons were killed by an accident acci-dent on the Stratford extension of the Shelton Street Railway company, when a loaded trolley car went off the trestle over Peck s mill pond at Oronoque about six miles north of Bridgeport, and sank in the flats forty feet below. Thus far thirty-six persons are known to be dead. Only two persons are known to have escaped unharmed. It is believed that there were forty-three passengers on the car, but the indicator indica-tor was removed by a conductor of another car and spirited away, so that at present it is impossible to state accurately ac-curately the number aboard. The trestle is 440 feet long, made of iron, with stone foundations, and was not protected by guard rails. South of the trestle is an incline, down which the car ran at a high rate of speed. After it ran on the trestle for about ten feet, the trucks left the rails, then the car continued on the ties about seventy-five feet, when it went off the trestle and dropped into the pond below, be-low, overturning completely and upending. up-ending.
