| DECLARES DEWEY
UNDULY SUSPICIOUS
American Admiral Worked Himsell
Inlo a Passion Thinking Ger
many Was Hindering
the Blockade
Benin, February 28.—Admiral von Died
iichs replied in print today to quotec
statements made by Admiral Dewey re
Raiding the exciting incidents betweei
the American and H r,nan naval com
manders In Manila bay during the Span
ish-American war. The reply of 11,00
words is published in the official Marini
Rundschau.
It contains the report of the visit made
to Admiral Dewey on July 10, 1898, by the
then flag Lieutenant Von Ilintz, who is
now German minister to Mexico.
It is indicated from this report thai
Admiral Dewey threatened the Germans
witli war if they did nut cease their in
terference v itli the blockade regulations
and if they refused to permit the Ameri
cans to make the inquiries necessary tc
establish the identity of neutral war
ships.
Says Dewey Was Nervous
Von Diedrichs says:
“Admiral Dewey gradually talked him
self into a passion. He said:
“ ‘Why ] shall stop every vessel, what
ever may be her colors. A id if she coei
not stop I shall fire at her. And .:ha
■ means war, do you l;r . chat, sir?’ Y'hor
the phrase. “If Gem .any wants war, etc.,
occurred aga u I took my leave.
“I was under the impression that ihi:
in itself trivial incident as it were, put t
, match to a mas sof < xplosives, whicl
| long had been accumulating in Admira
Dewey’s mind from suspicion, rumor am
newspaper articles.’’
The remainder of Admiral Von Died
» richs statement is virtually a repetition ii
‘ amplified form of Hie interview lie gave
the Associated Press a lew days ago.
Admiral Von Diedrichs makes the com
ment that Admiral Dewey must have
known a declaration of war did not de
I end on either admiral. He attributes
Admiral Dewey’s conduct toward Flag
Lieuteiiant Yon Hintz to nervousnes
^ i rising from the weight of responsibility
’•esting on him as commander of tin
blockading fleet and from the rumor.'
| reaching him in regard to the falsity dl
j rhe Germans.
, The German admiral took up promptly
Admiral Di" \v*s assertion that it was
his right am. duty to communicate wit!
, HI vessels entering the port of Manila
and to make such inquiries as were neces
sary to establish their kb-ntlty. Admira
Dewey had declared Hint the showing
t of colors by the vessels was inadequate
since the display of false colors was a
common ruse in war.
The correspondence .between Admira
Dewey. Admiral Von Diedrichs and Ad
, miral Idchenter of the British fleet Is re
, produced textually. <>n July II, 1898, tin
German admiral denied Admiral Dewey’i
» right of visitation and sent copies o
his letter to all the foreign commander!
f in order to ascertain their views. Ac
, cording to the German commander tin
r French, Austrian, la pa nose and Britlsl
comma riders shared his opinion althougl
Admiral Chichester required some per
• suasion and endeavored to demonstrate
that Admiral Dewey’s pretensions wen
justified.
Ends Correspondence
The letter of July 12, from Admiral Vot
Diedrichs to Admiral Dewey, which ends
the correspondence, shows that the tw<
commanders were substantial.y in accorc
1 in regard to the procedure in oonneettor
‘ with warships arriving at Manila. Th<
l. variance of opinion was chiefly as to th«
interpretation of the word “inquiries,’
which the German admiral Interpreted a;
on investigation to establish the truth o
the neutral commanders’ word, in hii
letter Admiral Yron Diedrichs accepts
! Admiral Dewey’s disavowal of the clain
“ to the right of visiting neutral warship
and accepts his pretention of a right t<
< nter into communication with ships com
| big into Manila bay. This was to b
done by signal, hailing or the exchang
of visits, but not by sending officers oi
j board neutral warships.
Admiral Von Diedrichs sent the cruise
_ Kaiserin Augusta to meet the Cormoran
. which was expected to reach Manila aji<
to inform her of the situation. The tw<
vessels, according to a letter from a Ger
_ man petty officer, came up the bay clear'd
t for action, but the Americans did no
attempt to demand their identification
. This incident, says Admiral Von Died
. erichs, cleared him of the suspicion o
j \ ielding a hair s breadth to Admira
Dewey's demands. He had not orderei
the vessels to clear for action, he said.
Afterwards Friendly
The relations between tin* German an
American admirals were afterward mor
friendly. Finally, on July 31, the text a
■ the German-American agreement mad
in Washington reached him, accordin
1 to which the names of German warship
m must be communicated through diplomat!
channels before their arrival in the block
aded harbor. Afterward it was necessar
to signal only the name of the ship upo
|- passing tin* blockade.
1 In summing up the matter Admiral Y’o
Diedrichs says:
• Admiral Chichester expressed the opin
ion that Admiral Dewey had be-, n mad
suspicious of the Germans by outside in
Alienee*—namely, Manila gossip—but mor
or less malicious reports coming from th
shore cannot explain an incident Ilk
i) that desciV>ed by Flag Lieutenant Vo
Hintz, which is exceptional in the inter
course of representatives of modern civ
illz« «i nations.
“I repeatedly asked myself how sue
- | ugh misunderstandings could arise l*f
twi < ii the openly well intentioned Ad
i miial Dewey who was always trying t
! moderate the rigors of the blockade fo
those innocently suffering—and me. v.h
1 was always sincerely endeavoring to met
1 all the wishes of the commander of th
1 blockading licet up to the limit which th
1 honor of the Hag sets. I can see out
the following explanation:
1 “Tii« misguided population of Manila re
s peatedly expressed with southern ex.it.
geration unjustifiable hope of Germa
■ assistance and thereby awakened wid
■ suspicion of Germany’s intentions.
“Many newspapers, particularly tin
* English ones on the east Chinese coas
s devoted themselves zealously to nuitui
■ ing this suspicion.
“Admiral Dewey, with an Insufficlcr
force, was confronted with the doubl
I task of holding down a defeated enem
•1 and preventing the rebels from attacKin
II this enemy without attracting their hoi
0 tilily. Under the pressure of heavy P
ll sporisibility his mistrust grew to anxioi
Jealousy when by a chain of unfortunat
events several German ships under a
officer of higher rank than his own ai
c rived in Manila.
m “l regard it as certain from Hater prr>
1 reports and other sources tlift rnalieiot:
- trouble makers fanned this r/usptcion an
- it was even related Hurt Admiral Dewe
" jhad already worked out a plan for th
ilcslruction of the German ■hips.”

Weather Conditions
Birmingham, February 28.—(7 p. m.)
'Plie low pressure area that crossed the
central valley and western lake states
today now extends from I.ake Huron to
Florida. The rapid movement of tlds
area was followed by a rapid clearing
in the western and middle gulf states
today, with a shifting of the winds to
the northerly and westerly directions.
While there is rising pressure in the
western cotton states, the center of high
pressure is far up in the Missouri val
ley near tlie Canadian border. It is
swinging eastward, followed closely be
hind the low farther east. The gradient
•••••••••••••••••••••••■«••••••••••••••••••••••••••!
between these two centers is steep and
the winds are blowing from moderate to
high at many lake stations.
The high pressure center caused a sud
den drop in the temperatures in the
northern Mississippi valley states and
around Lake Winnipeg. Duluth report
ed zero at 7 p. m., and Winnipeg below
zero throughout the day. At 7 p. m. it
was only two abpve zero at St. Paul.
Over most of the interior and south
western states a slight rise in the tem
perature occurred. A slight fall was not
ed In Aldfcfena and northern Georgia, ow
ing to cloudy weather and rains.
Sunday will be a fair day in Alabama,
and, while there will not he any mate

Chief Eagan and his raiding squad were
"out” last night!.
Two alleged gambling houses were
“flushed" in which over a score of ar

houses were caugnt violating the law.

had been successful as those that were

‘‘You got to keep after them," said Act

they have well paid irpie right in the
police department and whenever the coast
is clear everything will open up in jig

the same plan, but must always make
changes so that it will keen the mem

again you can't plan raids in advance as
