Navy Department Has No Official Ad vices As to His Condition His Po sition a Try in One. , By Telegraph to the Horning Star. Washington, March 9. When his attention was called to the statement coming from Vancouver, to the effect that Admiral Dewey is breaking down and cannot last a month longer, Sec retary Long said that he had no infor mation whatever on this point. The stories of the admiral's ill-health have been in circulation with more or less persistency for the past four months. They are all traceable to private re ports, and though officers of the navy who have returned from Manila state that Dewey's health, so far as it could be eauged from his appearance, ap pears to be about the . same as it has been for the past years they agree thatthe private reports probably have a fair basis of fact. - It is not denied by these officers that the admiral has aged in- appearance notably within the past year; his hair is undoubtedly whiter and his figure shows s gns of that weakness which might be expected to come with ad vancing years. Dewey will be sixty two years old next December, and for many years has not been a strong man physically. j Meantime, he has had imposed upon him the most severe and exacting duties, so that it is but nat ural that his frail physique should show the effect of the tremendous strain. : It is said by persons- familiar with the Philippine climate that the second year is the hardest to bear' for a Caucasian, and Dewey soon will be gin his second year there. In addition to this he labors under the drawback of ! having undergone a most severe surgical operation for the relief of his liver. A man needs a sound liver in the Philippines, of all places. These facts lead naval officers to believe re ports that Dewey is showing signs of physical strain. - On the other hand, as already stated, there is absolutely no official evidence on file at the department to show that this is true. A full medical history of Admiral Dewey is among the records of the bureau of medicine' and surgery. - They show every ail ment that he has experienced since he has been in the navy, as well as tbe results of the physical examinations he has undergone when he has been promoted from time to time. But these do not disclose any complaint at this time ; the admiral has not been jmade the subject of a sick report since he went to Manila. 'Some time ago the President feared that the- great strain he was under might over-tax himj so he cabled Dewey through Sec retary Long permission to return to the : United States. The admiral de clined to avail himself of this - per mission and asked permission to stay, saying that in his opinion duty, required that he should finish the task he had begun at Manila. The President accepted this statement and Dewey remains by his own wish; he is free to return to the United States whenever he cares to do so, and the department will relieve him by cabled orders.. In that case Captain N.fH. Dyer,-the commander of the Balti more, who is the senior captain on the Asiatic station, would be relieved later by one of the rear admirals recently 'created, nearly all of whom 'are anxious to assume active flag rank be fore retirement.

CASTOR I A For Infanta and Children. Tta Klsd Yea Hara Always it Bears the Bignatursof NEGRO TROOPS PASS RALEIGH. Their Tour Throuzh the Stat Marked by Drunken Rioting and Shooting. SEVERAL PERSONS WOUNDED. The Affair at Griffin, Qs.-lommaadlng Officer of the Regiment Makes a Statement Denounces Georgia Militia aid Their Officers. By Telegraph to tlie Morning Star. Raleigh, N. C, March 9. The tour of the Tenth Immunes through this State was marked by drunken rioting and shooting, at people, houses and cattle along the railroad. During the few minutes that the train stopped here, there was drink ing and disorder among the men. Several shots were fired at the ground r into the air. All along the route their conduct was the same. A dispatch from Henderson to night says: f'The Tenth Immunes (colored) passed to-day over the Seaboard Air Line. They shot at private . houses and school children. Several men were wounded. The officers of the regiment seemed to have no control over the men." ; Similar reports ' came from other points between here and Weldon. The Colonel Makes a Statement. Col. Charles L. Jones, commanding officer of the regiment, was seen by a representative of the Associated Press immediately upon . the arrival of his train in Raleigh, as he had telegraphed ahead in the morning that he desired to make a statement in regard to the shooting ail air at Griffin, Ga. He said: "We struck Griffin, Ga., about five o'clock yesterday afternoon. I don't think there were more than a dozen revolvers in the hands of the men. When we pulled out of Vinevillej there was some shooting in the air from the train. The men were full of good spirits and had no intention to harm any one. No shots were fired when we went : into the town of Griffin. I was surprised to find men lined up on either side of the depot. About fifty of them wore uniforms. I inquired what the trouble was, and was told that the first section had been disorderly and that the citizens wanted to protect themselves. I told my men to be 'quiet and they were obedient, and there was no disorder. The train stopped about five minutes. "The train had pulled out about 200 yards when some of the men in the forward part of the car fired some shots. The militia then fired into the rear car. George L. Agee, the man who was standing on the platform, was shot One bullet passed through his leg, another through his thigh, and still another passed through his body. As the officer's car passed a body ol the militia volley was fired into it, notwithstanding the fact that four ladies were at the windows. I was standing on the platform of my car.. The wife of one of the captains, who was seated by the window, had a narrow escape. An iron brace pre vented another bullet from crashing into the car. "Up to 3.30 o'clock, when I left Macon yesterday afternoon, not one of the depredations of the white or negro troops at that town had. been committed by the Tenth immunes. Denounces the Militia at Griffin. ; "The action of the militia in Griffin was the most cowardly that I have ever seen human beings guilty of. Had they fired into the car from which the one shot was fired, it would have been bad enough, but to fire a volley into a car, when the officer who had charge of the men who fired the volley knew there were ladies in the car, "who were unable to protect themselves and who. had not been guilty of any breach of law, was be neath men, and demonstrates beyond venture that the euiltv parties. especially those who ordered it, ,were cowards of the first water." Negroes Arrive is Richmond. ! Richmond, Va., March 9. One com pany of the Eighth (colored) Immune regiment, sixty-one strong, arrived here to-night, having been mustered out They were met at the depot by a police captain and eighteen stalwart policemen, and informed that they had better get rid of any firearms in their possession and disperse as quiet ly as possible. They took .the hint and there was no trouble. The mayor and chief of police were notified that trains with other negro soldiers who had been very riotous down South were scheduled to pass through the city to-night, but ar rangements were made with the rail road authorities to take them over the belt line; which is outside of the cor porate limits. A Statement from Griffin. Griffin, Ga., March 9. Mayor Davis, and Lieutenant Dame, of the Griffin BLfles, made statements to-day in reply to the letter of Colonel With row, of the Tenth immunes, to Gov ernor Candler, asserting that his men had been fired upon yesterday by the State militia at Griffin, and demand ing safe conduct to the State line. Mayor Davis says: "When the repre hensible conduct of the soldiers on the first section of the train was reported to me and the citizens appealed for pro tection from the next! section, which was due here in about an hour, I at once telephoned Governor Candler and asked-him to order out the Griffin Rifles. He promised to advise me in twenty minutes whether he would or not, but the second section was near ing the city and immediate action was necessary, and by the power vested in me as mayor, I ordered the Rifles out. My authority for doing so is found in Article 3, Section 1170, of the Civil Code of this State. The - Rifles and all those whom I deputized to meet the train were on hand and acted in a manner that was above reproach. As long as I am Mayor of Griffin I shall use all the means in my power to pro tect the lives and property of her citizens 'i In his statement Lieutenant Daniels says: "I received the following order from the Mayor: - '"Commander Griffin Rifles: Owing to imminent danger of riot at the train of colored troops just mustered out in macon, wnue passing through Griffin, whichvill be in a few minutes, bring your command to the passenger, depot at once and receive orders from the chief of police for preserving: order. (Signed) " 'W. D. Davis, Mayor.' " The above order was issued to me under authority of Section 1170, Code of Georgia. I responded to the order, as was my duty, and reported as in structed to the chief of police at the depot. I lined my command up and down the railroad track about twenty feet from the train of negroes, arms at order. The chief of police ordered half my company about two hundred yards west of the depot. Upon the departure of the train the negro troops fired several volleys di rectly at the citizens and military. This fire was not returned by my men', but the citizens did return the fire. I had given positive orders to my men not to fire, and they, positively, did not." TAMPERING WITH MAILS Edward P. f5ogert, Postmaster at Wilkes, barre.

Bogert, postmaster ,of Wilkes barre, was arrested to-day charged with tampering with the United States mails. About two'months ago several complaints were lodged with the postal authorities at Washington that mail was disappearing, or that which they received bore evidence of havingjeen opened by a steaming process. The postal authorities subsequently de tailed two cecret service men on the case under orders of Inspector Gorman. Last night after the mail from Baltimore and Washington arrived, and had been distributed, Bogert entered the office, and was seen to Jake several letters from his boxes and then go into his private office and carefully draw down a curtain. The detectives went jto the office and, without the ceremony of knocking, entered and there found the postmaster seated at his desk, on which lay three letters addressed to Drominent business men -this city and an oi tnem opened. gert was taken before United States mmissioner Hahn, where he 'gave til in the sum of $4,000 for his ap- nearance later. !

He alluded to the declaration of the Chi cago platform on the subject of trusts. and said that had the Democrats been in control the trusts would have been compelled to obey the law.

Bv Cable to the Morning 8tar. t LONDON, march a. in inirouucm the navv estimates jn the House or Commons to-day, the lTirst Lord of ib Admlraltv. i the Kt. Hon.iGeo. J. Goschen, said; Never under i Ahead had estimates been submitted more unique circumstances, j Ahead was the con ference I for international disarma ment, while behind were the incidents of last .November, and while a com parison of the naval strength of' the VariOUS CUUIliriCB Vr oo u otdij ivmj a mouth, the most striking confidence was shown in British preparedness to meet all emergencies. 1 The continental Dowers, he said. were4istutbe1lby the allegation that Great Britain was preparing wnn a particular purpose for aggressive ac tion ; but, the minister asserted, the idea never entered tne mind oi tne government. He then proceeded to detail the naval programme. Mr. Goschen said her majesty's gov ernment proposed to make Wei Hai Wei (the war port on the nortnern coast of the Shan Tung peninsula) a second naval base, pointing out that it would be a most valuable anchorage of the greatest importance in any op erations in Chinese waters, and adding that it was proposed to expend 1.300. 000 pounds sterling on Wei Hai Wei during the present year and 1,500,000 pounds next year. ' - ' j . Increasing the Navy. Continuing, Mr. Goschen informed the House that the personnel of the navy for the coming year would be increased by 4,250 men, making a total of 110,640, at a cost of 7,474,000 pounds.! ! Referring to ship building, ne said the coming programme had i been framed after consideration of the pro grammes of the other powers. A stud v of these programmes, he pointed out, was not reassuring. The united States, Russia, France, Japan, Italy and Germany had under construction 685,000 tons of warships or 225,000 tons more than was contemplated in the present estimates. This had forced the government to draw up a new pro gramme. Jfixcluding last year's sup plemental programme, it provided for two iron-clads, two armored cruisers and three smaller cruisers, of special ly high speed. The money required, therefore, for the coming year was 550,000 pounds, and the total under the ship building vote, including the liabilities for last year's original and supplementary programmes, : would be 12,817,000 pounds, an increase of over 2,000,000 pounds. The total estimates were 26,594,000 pounds. For armament Mr. Goschen asked an increase of 161,000 pounds, chiefly for the construction of guns, but also for ammunition for practice, which, he asserted, was a matter of enormous importance, as shown by the late war. More Warships. After speaking of the necessity for an increased ship-building vote, he said these were the votes requiredby the present situation. "But, he added, "would that the action of other nations, resulting from the coming international conference, could make it possible for us to diminish or modify the vrogramme, while, of course. maintaining our standard and relative position. Mr. Goschen then announced in be half of her majesty's government that if the other great naval powers were prepared to diminish their i pro grammes, Great Britain was prepared to modify hers.! But if the Czar hopes were not realized, the pro gramme would have to stand, and he. (Mr. Goschen) expressed the hope that those who were proposing to attack the country s expenditure would not attempt to dissuade the people from bearing the taxation necessary to carry on the duties of the empire. In the Event of War. Mr. Goschen emphasized the purelv defensive objects of the naval increase. but said that in view of the construc tion by her rivals of fast cruisers with the avowed purpose of preying upon British commerce and Great Britain's food supply in the event of war. England was foreed to build five new cruisers particularly swift, in order to circumvent these schemes. He also said that- the four armored cruisers now being built .under the original programme would be the most power tui ships in the world, In conclusion, the First Lord of the Admiralty saia tbe estimates were simply the embodiment of a peace' loving, determined nation."
