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.
