Greatest O f Opportunities PORTSMOUTH ON COOS BAY GERMAN SAYS THAT DEWEY WAS READY THE MISSOURI GIRL HERE LAST NIGHT Berlin.— In a statement of 11,000 words, Admiral von Dlederichs re­ plied to Admiral Dewey's version ot the International Incidents In Manila bay In 1898. He says Admiral Dewey threatened the Germans with war if they did not cease Interfering with blockade regulations. Admiral Dewiy Is declared to have been laboring under great tenalon. British Interests are accused ot fan­ ning the flame. Admiral Dlederichs concludes with the startling state­ ment: "It was even related that Admiral Dewey had already worked out a plan for the destruction of the German ships.'* The German admiral aay» that when Flag Lieutenant von Rintxe visited Admiral Dewey, this happened: “ Admiral Dewey gradually talked himself Into a passion. He said, ‘Why, I shall stop every vessel, whatever may be her colors. And If the does not stop, I shall fire at her. And that means war, do you know, alrT’’ Admiral von Dlederichs makes tbe comment that Admiral Dewey must have known a declaration of war did not depend on either admiral. He at­ tributes Admiral Dewey's conduct to nervousness arising from the weight of responsibility resting on bird.
