Mr. Clark, is either deficient ia mental

I-ondon, June 2G. The irony of fate
ordained that the day named for the
coronation of King Edward should be
an ideal one, even for an Bnglish June.
The skies were clear and the heat of
the eun was tempered by a' cool, ref resil
ing breeze. The weather godswho are
held partially responsible for the king's
undoing seemed bent npon emphasizing
the nation's disappointment. The crowds
went to church to pray that the mon
arch's life may be spared, or made half
hearted holiday, wandering through the
treet8 where his triumphal procession
would have passed. They "were even
uincLined to be joyful in the light of the
rny of hope which came from, the pal
ace where the royal sufferer lay.
The first three bulletins sent out by
the physicians today wereydistinctly en
couraging. It was announced at .the
last that the patient's temperature was
normal, and this was the best possible
news in a case of this nature. All the
other symptoms were also favorable. It
was therefore not surprising that the
In the chancel were Joseph II. Choate,
United States ambassador, and Mrs.
i'hoate; Henry W. White, secretary of
the embassy, and Mrs. White; John R.
Carter, second secretary of the embassy,
and Mrs Carter; Whitelaw Reid, special
ambassador of the United States to the
coronation, and Airs. Keid; Mr. -and Mrs.
J. Pieipnt Morgan, - Jr., and the. lead
ing meruSbers of the nobility.
In the nave about a thousand of the
Westminster Abbey ticket holders
mainly "qromen were seated.
President Roosevelt's sister-in-law,
Mrs. . Douglas Robinson, and his sister,
Mrs. 'W4 Sheffield Cowles, accompanied
Mr.vand Mrs. Reid ,to St. Paul's, and

A 12 o' clock struck there arose from

Through the kneeling congregation the
choir advanced to the chancel steps. A
score of the clergy followed, and be
hind them were ten bishops in gorgeous
robes.
With, evident feeling the choir sang
the three psalms of intercession, after
which Bight Rev. Cosmo Gordon Lang,
Bishop of Stepney, read the lesson,
Isaiah Xxxviii. 10: "I said in the cutting
off of my days, I shall go to the gates

1 -Never Took Agui
naldo Seriously
Washington, June 23. Admiral Dewey
made a statement before the Senate
committee on the Philippines today con
cerning the early operations at Manila,
when he -was in command of the Ameri
can naval forces in Philippine waters.
The admiral's statement contributed an
important addition to the history of the
surrender of the city of Manila.
This consisted' of a positive statement
by the admiral to-the effect that the city
had been surrendered to him at the time
that the Spanish fleet was sunk, and
that when the city formally surrendered
it "was in pursuance of a definite under
standing between himself and the Span
ish governor general.
The admiral was questioned by Sena
tor Lodge. He said he had first heard
from Aguinaldo and his friends 'about

inclined to indulge in premature rejoic
ing. The throngs which still filled the
streets sang and were gay. "The king
will live" was heard on all sides, and
they began to taik of a coronation in
August or September.
Then the evening bulletin was post
ed at eleven o'clock on the palace gates
and in all the pos; offices. It concluded
with the disquieting sentence which
checked the hopefulness, "There has
been some return of pain in the wound."
These words would usually have serious
significance in a situation like that of
the king, and the doctors would have
hardly employed them unless they de
sired the natural conclusion to be drawn
from them. Fresh pain implies fresh
irflanmatlon. Renewed inflammation
Is usually accompanied or followed b"y
a renewed secretion of pus.
This peril Is one of extreme gravity.
It might be decided to reopen the wound
as a laot renort. This ha been dojxe in

In the full vigor of life. In the kirs

Ir. enn only be hoped that the morning
bulletins will note the disappearance of
fhis alarming symptom.
t
For a few moments comDlete silence
reigned and all heads were bowed in
prayer, after which the almost blind
Archbishop of Canterbury -was carefully
led . down the steps, the procession re
formed and the congregation went out
into the sunlight, gladly discussing the
wording of the latest bulletin from
Buckingham palace.
Confident Tne Cheeked
London, June 27. The wording of the
latest .bulletin has given pause to the
confident tone that newspapers have be
gun to adopt based upon the more cheer
ful phraseology used in the successive
official reports. The Morning Leader
prints below the 11 o'clock bulletin:
4It must be confessed that it does
not keep the favorable standard main
tained in the earlier reports of the day.
At the same time there is no reason
for undue alarm. It must be remem-
was to be war.
"I then heard that there were a num
ber of Filipinos who desired to accom
pany the fleet to Manila," he continued.
"All of them were young and earnest.
I did not attach much importance to
them or to what they said. The day be
fore we left Hong Kong 1 received a
telegram from Consul General Pratt,
located at Singapore, saying that Aguin
aldo was at Singapore and would join
me at Hong Kong. I replied all right,
tell him to come aboard; but I attached
so' little importance to the message that
I sailed without Aguinaldo and before
he arrived.
"There were then many promises ft to
wnat the Filipinos would do, but I did
not depend uponhem. Consul Williams
assured me that upon our arrival and
the firing of the first gun 30,000 Fili
pinos would rise. None did rise and I
frequently joked- him on that point."
Referring to the capture of Manila,
the admiral said:
"The governor general of Manila sur
rendered to me on the first day of May.

He replied that he wonld not fire if I
did not,
"So, while the Spanish flag was not
actnally hauled down, Manila was vir
tually surrendered to me on the first
of May. I anchored my fleet right un
der the guns of the town, within easy
range about 7,000 yards. If we had

when he already had an understanding
with the governor of the city to surren
der it as soon as he had enough troopt
to take possession. .
The admiral replied that at that time
the Filipinos and Americans werff
friendly, but it would be difficnlt for
him to give the exact reason for hia ac
tion in this case. "I was there a long
way from home, meeting grave ques
tions and deciding them as I thought
best at :he time." y
"Yes, and we know how well you did
it," interjected Mr. Patterson.
"When the fighting occurred between
the Filhino army and the Spaniards
Aguinajdo had got beyond me and -would
not listen to me," said the admiral.
When the Filipinos first arrived. Dewey
said, it never entered his head that they
wanted independence, and he did not
believe they did at that time. Their
main idea was to get rid of the Spaniards
and then to accept American rule. He
added:
"I believe that would have occurred
if we had had 5.000 troops there May 1
to take possession of Manila. These
people would have been our loyal friends.
I don't know how loug it would have
lasted, but they would have been our
friends then.".
Admiral Dewey gave it as his opinion
that after all the 'United States had
done for the Filipinos it was "base in
gratitude for them to turn on us." He
had never t..ken them seriously, but he
had humored them, he said.
When Mr. Patterson asked about tho
capture of the Spanish garrisoa at Subig
bay by the insurgents, Admiral Dewev
said:
"I took that garrison. A German man
of war had been, interfering with the
Filipinos and prevented them from pass
ing from the main land to the island.
The Filipinos wanted to try to capture
the garrison. Aguinaldo complalnpd to
me of the action of the German ship,
and I sent Captain Coghlan and two
of my vessels there and received the
surrender of the garrison, and then
turned them over as prisoners to the
Filipinos.
"Why did yon stop the GermaiH man
of war from its interference?" fssked
Mr. Patterson.
"Because I did not- want any other
power to interfere in the Philippines'
Was Dewey's answer.
At this point the committee adjourneo
until 10:30 tomorrow, when Admiral
Dewey will restime his .testimony.

will begin in a few days the work
of reviewing the record of the proceed
ings of the conrt martial wfhich tried
I and acquittd General Jacob Smith, who
(was charged with issuing orders which
resulted in the execution in Samar of
a number of natives. Major Lyttleton
W. T. Waller of the marine corps, who
was also acquitted on charges growing
out of the same occurrence, claimed to
have received his orders from General
Smith. In view of the close relation
of the two cases Secretary Root decided
to await the arrival of the papers in the
Waller case before acting upon the case
of General Smi:h.
The Waller papers reached the depart

with the preparation of recommenda

officials in the w'ar department Is that
thr President will reprimand General
Smith, who admits issuing orders to hi
troops to make Samar a howling wilder

court and has already de:ermined that
he will not send the papers back to the
