Washington, July 15.-Naval officers are quick
to resent the allegations that Admiral Dewey
owed his marvellous success at Manila to the
employment Of English gunners. whom he had
engaged at big wages at Hong Kong. before h
sailed for Manila. Such a statement as this
was made by Cunningham Graham. an e..
Member OF Parliament, in communication to
some OF the British newspapers. which has
aroused a good deal Of discussion Capita
Crowninshield, the Chief OF the Navigation Ba.
reau Is directly in charge Of the personnel

70 his attention he promptly and positively
said:
We never have yet been called upon to set
Enslishmen TO teach US how to shoot. An H.
spection OF the muster rolls OF Admiral Dewtyt

OF this charge and show how absolutely nln
