GERMANY AND T1IE UNITED
STATES.
Thoro wns 11 timcru fow yoars ngo
only, whon tho rolntions botween tho
Unitcd Stutos und Oornmity nppenred
to bo soniowlmt struinod. Tho iiiuno-
dlato region of disturbunco wns Mu
nila Bny. Admiral Diedrieh, i coin
mnnd of tho Gornmn naval forccs
thoro, seoniod to liavo concoivcd tho
idea tlmt ho was in chiof coninmnd in
thoso wators und wns causing Admirul
Dowoy no ond of aiinoyanco. Tlio
Gornmn squndron at Mnnila was cnunl
in tho mimbor of vossols to tlmt of
tho British, Fronch and Japancso
conibincd.
Affnirs flnally camo to such a pass
that Admiral Eowoy road tho riot act
to tho Gornmn admiral, through his
ilag ofllcor, who had gono 011 boavd
tho Olynipta to mako a coniplnint.
Diodrioh wns appnrontly looking for
and contributing to complicntions that
would justify intorforoiico at Mtiuihi
and tho plantiiig of tho inlluonoo of
liis imporial niastor in tho Philippincs.
Dowoy's nicssago to Diodrioh, in effect,
was that tho blookndo by tho Unitcd
Statos would bo Vnaintaini'd and re-
speet for it enforeed ; that to disre
gard it would bo an nct of war, and if '
Germany wanted war with the Unitcd
States, and this was wliat Admiral
Diedrieh was sooking by his methods,
war inight as well bogin in flvo min
utos. This bold mossngo, which was
imbruod with tho vory esseuce of
bnsiiioss, sottled nmtters. Gornmn
nagging ccused. Diodrioh was soon
nftcr rccallcd, and it appearcd, or was
mado to appear, that ho had bocn aot
iug 011 his own responsibility with
tho idea of winning tho favrjr of Em-,
peror William.
Prinoo llcnry, brothor of tho Em
peror, had becn sont to tho coast of
China in command of apoworful lleot,
a movomont which was intorprotcd to
signify tho seopo and dircotion of tho
Gernmn appotitc. While tho Ameri
can lleet was yot at Hong Kong, tho
Princo rcmarkcd to Admiral Dowoy,
in a spirit of bantor, that lio was out
thoro to seo that tho Amoricans wcro
good, and Dowoy, in a similar spirit,
wnrned tho Princo not to placo him
solf in tho way of the Amorican guns.
This was an intcrchango of plcnsant
ries, but thoro was a fcoling that a
suspicion of truth was voilod by thoso
josts. ; Lator, whon tho Raloigh rc
turned to this conntry and tho gallant
Oapt. Ooghlan entortained tho mom
bors of a Now York club by reciting
"Hoch dor Kuisor, " tho Emporoi.- was
grioved and to mollify him thinly
voiled consur.o was administored to
tho mercurial captain.
Sinco thoso days Germany has
beou sedulously cultivating tho arts
of peaco and friendship with tho
Amorican ropublic. Somo German
baukers havo a claim for mouoy loan
ed against tho govenmont of Vone
zucla, which that govomment rcfuses
to pay. It is unquestionably an honest
claim, and 0110 in which tho German
govornmeut, in gnarding tho rights of
its peoplo, would bo justifled in using
forco to compol paymont. Germany
has signified its purposo to send a
sqnudron of war vossols to soizo Ven
eznelan ports to collect and apply tho
rovonnes in paymont of tho Gorman
claim, if Vonczuola shall still refuso
to pay, or aoknowlcdgo hor obligation
aud givo adequato guarantees of
txltimato liquidation. In proposing to
tako this oxtrcmo moasuro, tho Em
poror has mado it porfectly plain to
tho govonmiont of tho Unitcd States
that his offorts to compol Vonozuola
to pay an honost dobt do not coutem
plato tho acquisition of torritory. On
' this point ho has fully satisfled Pres
idont Roosovolt. Amplo assuranco has
beon givon tho Unitod Statos that tho
Emporor would rospcct tho Monroo
doctrinc. Tlio corrospondcnoo touch
ing this vital mattor has bcon c'onduct
od in tho friondliost spirit.
And now Emporor William, in a
graoious noto to Prosidont Roosovolt,
has asked that his daughtcr, Miss
Alico, bo dosignatod to christon tlio
yacht his majosty 1ms building in
this conntry and which will bo
launchod in Fobrnary. Tho Emporor
further anuouncos that I19 will sond
his brothor, Admiral Princo Ilonry
of Prussia, him of tho famous collo
quy with Dowoy, aB his rorrosonta
tivo 011 tliis auspioions occasion, and
ho "will bo ablc to oxpross to you (tlio
Pri'sident) 01100 moro my sincoro fool
ings of friondship for tho Unitcd
States and thoir illnstriouB hend. "
Tho Emporor has also ordorod his
yacht Ilohour.olloru to cross ovor and
bo prosont at tho coromony.
This is all vory nico. It has bcon
partioularly noticeablo for months
that tho Gorman Emporor has sought
to Impross his frioudliness of spirit
upon tho Amorican peoplo. Things
havo changod vory niuoh sinoo tho
timo, in Manila Bay, whon Diodrich's
ovort acts stirrod up a homot's nost
on tho Olympia's quartordcok.
Amoricnns aro contont, and whon
Princo Ilonry comos ovor noxt month
ho will 8O0 liow great a wolcomo, by
tho pooplo and tho govornmont of this
ropublic, is in Btoro for him. Aftor

SOIILEY TO TIIE PRESIDENT.
Admiral Schloy lias bccn grantcd an
intorviow with Prcsldcnt Roosovolt,
and pormlttcd to say to tho Chiof Ex-1
ccutivo somo things rcspcoting tho
chargos his ononiios havo bocn makiiig
ngainst him, tho neousations uffoctiiig
his courago and his conduct in gon
oral ns nn'ollleor in tho sorvico of liis
conntry at a oritical stago of tho lato
war with Spain. Thoso chargos a mu
;jority in point of numbors of tho
lato court of inquiry, has sustaincd.
Tho roport of tho court has bcon up
provod by tho seerotnry of tho navy
and )as.scd along for flnal aotion by
tho Prcsident.
Throughout tho longth nnd brcadth
of tho nation thoro has bcon a loud
and indigimnt protest against tho
judgniont of tho court, as spokon by
tho ma.iority of its nicmbcrs, and np
proval of cqnal intonsity and oxtont of
tho minority roport of Admiral Dow
oy. It is abhorrcnt to ovory principlo
of honor, ropugnant to ono's scnso of
,-justieo and doccncy, that a bravc nmn
sliould bo haudcrt down to fnturo gon
crations brandcd ns tho court of in
quiry and tho secretary of tho navy
havo markcd Admiral Schloy. Con
tnmpomry jmlgiupnt, almost universal-
ly, acquits this ofllcer of tho chargcs,
of whatovor dcgroo of foulnoss, a do
partmont clicino hns succocdcd in
fiistening upon him, bnt tho gcncra
tions of tho futnro rcud tho ofliical
rocord. Contomporary judginont, rcn
dorod by thc peoplo in tho light of tho
timos whon history was mado, will bo
1 dimmcd, or niay fado out nttorly, in
tho lap.so of timo, but tho blot, tho
stigma, a departmont of tho govorn
mont has snccccded in fastcning upon
tho namo of ouo of tho most gallant
ofllcors of tho Amorican navy will
abido forovcr, if tlio Prcsident docs
not come to thc rescue and rub ovor
tho rccord thc wet sponge of his olli
cial (lisa)proval.
From tho carlicrycars of his profes
sionnl career Schlcy's namo has becn
associatcd with glorious dccds. Wlicn
an ofllccr of daring, skill and uncon
qncrablo rcsolution was wantcd to
lcad a perilous cxpcdition ngainst a
Corcan fort, Schloy, a lieutcnant in
tho service, was selccted by his com
mander for this diflicult duty. Tho
man who has but reccntly bocn brand
cd a coward in that cntcrpriso was
tho incarnation of courago and daring.
After a diflicult march, cncumbored
by obstacles insuperablo to a less ad
vonturous and less resoluto and ro
sourcofultleader, ho assailed tho fort,
lcdhis followers ovor its ramparts into
tho midst of tho cut-throat Coreans,
I cngagcd them in a haud to hand flght,
I conquorcd them and took thoir strong
1 hold. Tho object of his govornmont,
I tho clmstisemont of tho Coreans for
I somo oil'onso ngainst Amorican rights,
j was tlion speedily accomplishcd. For
1 his conduct in thisaffair, tho youngof
1 flccr was highly commondod by his su
perior in command, now ono of tho roar
admirals whom Secretary Long origi
nally solectod for tho court of inquiry,
but who, by roason of tho condition of
his health, asked to bo oxcused from
serving, and tho requost was grantcd.
Whon an oxpodition was to bo sont
to tho Arctic regions to roscuo Greely
and his companions, Schloy was tho
navul oilicor solectod for its command,
and 110 clmrgo of "roprohonsiblo con
duct" wns formnlated against him
for his gallant and succcssful conduct
of that diflicult cntcrpriso, nmidst
tho rigors and hardships of tho north
polnr country.
Dowoy and Clark, who know soino
thing of naval oporations in tho lato
war with Spain, and who aro judges
or witnossos best qualiflcd by oxpori
enco and ))rofessional skill to tcstify
in tho mattor of Admiral Schloy's sor
vices in tho West Indian campaigu,
acquit that oiiieor of tho chargos om
bodied in tho prccopts formnlated by
tho secretary of tho navy for tho con
sidorntion of tho couurt of inquiry.
Thoso olllcors of ncknowlodgcd and
pro-ominont capacity to judgo aright
pronounco Schloy not blamoworthy in
tho particulars which wcro tho snb
ject, of tho oourt's inquiry. This sct
tlos tho mattor with tho great pnblic ;
it ought to with tho Prcsident. On
this point tho Ohicago Tribuno Fays :
Tho Tribuno wishos to say to Prosi
dont Roooscvclt and tho wholc -oun-try
that tho highost naval nuhority is
standing flrmly by Admiral Schloy
during this wholc caho. Ho is sup
iortod by Admirul Dowey and by
Cupt. Clark, tho gallant captain of
tho Orogon. Wo foul justifled in wiy
ing that if Admiral Philip woro living
ho would also bo standing by tho sido
of Admiral Schloy. Tho nasons for
this last stufcment cnunot bo givon
mblicly, but thoy aro woll known in
privato circlos. Tho nmn who said,
"Dou't shout, boys, tho poor dovilH
aro dying," was as flrmly convinced
of tho oxomplary conduct of Admiral
Schloy at tho battlo of Santiago as Ad
miral Dowoy himsolf was. Wo as
sumo full rosponsibility for this stato
mont. Tho Jonrnal 1ms rocoived a copy of
tho"Watchnmn and Stato Gftzotto,"
datod Tuosday, Fobrnary 22, 1881.
Tho bnsionss card statos that it is
"publishcdwookly by E. P, Walton &
Oo." Tho titlo "Stato Gazotto" was
nddcd to tho origlnal titlo of tho pa
por," Tho Watelinmii, whon publishers
aiToctcd long or conipound names for
thoir papors. Tho words "Stato Ga
zotto" did not signify tho consolida
tion of a pupor of that namo with tho
Watchman. It was simply an annox
for oHect, aud was droppcd whon tho
titlo, "Vermont Wntohnian and Stato
.Tounral", u still moro imposing desig
natiou, was tukcn 011. Tho papcr is uni
vorsally known as Tho Watchman, its
origiual namo, howovor niuch itscur-
lier publishors may liavo sought toadd
to its iinprossiveiiess by longthoning
its namo. Tho copy of tho Watchman
and Stato Gazotto in quostion has a
histrry. It is tom and staincd nnd
