Ingersoll'« story who couldn't go any

It was thou the German admiral l)eid-
erichs overstepped, as is believed, the
limitations of imperial instructions he
had received and incorrectly interpreted
the sentiments of th® German people.

Admiral Dewey finally said—not to the
German admiral personally, a« the story
got out, but officially tu the flag lieuten

ence with th® blockade established by
the American fleet would be an act of
war. Admiral iMwey put it in (his way :
“Surely your government does not pro
pose tu make war upon ruy govern
ment.” But if by possibility, as the
course of event« would indicate, it wa«
intended that “there should be war be
tween Germany and the United States
they could go right at it in five minutes.”
rhe response from the flag lieutenant of
the Geraian admiral was given with
some agitation, but wa« very pacific.
