Thia hostility assumed u m ore dofi nite forts at the outbreak o f the Span ish W ar, whan Germany and A ustria attempted to form a European eoali tion to forbid w ar with Spain. That scheme was foiled by the positive r e fusal o f Great Britain to join it, but Thayer in his “ L ife o f John Buy“ quotas the K aiser as having said: “ If I had only a fleet, I would have taken Uncle Sam by the scruff o f the neck.“ The same disposition was shown at Manila, where Germ aay sent a squad ron o f five vmesls, stronger than that of Dewey. This squadron follow ed the American ships in every m ove they made in preparing fo r the bem bard- ment o f the city and gave «very sign of an intent to oppose the attack.
