Dewey Had No English Gunners.

The United States government is
prepared to answer the inquiry of the
British Government as to the truth of
the statement made by Mr. Cunning
hame- Graham, a former member of
Parliament of eccentric reputation
that the gunners of Dewey's ships in
Manila Bay were British seamen,
bribed to leave her Majesty's service.
Mr.. Cunninghame-G Graham said that
100 pounds month was offered to
each of these gunners forgh services,
and that through their presence on the
American warships, Dewey's victory
was made possible. Nobody here be-
lieved that the British government
would pay any attention to Mr. Gun
northumberland demand for an in
vestigation, but since London press de-
spatches say that the inquiry will be
made, the Navy Department has pre-
pared a statement on the subject. The
statement, which was completed from
the muster rolls of Deweys squadron,
covering the date of the engagement
with the Spanish feet, shows that of
the LAS men on the American ships
only 81 were alien, and of these only
8 were British subjects. -Four of the
Britishers were on the Olympia and
four on the Raleigh. Not one of the
eight is a gunner. They were ordina-
ry seamen, carpenters mate, a coal
passer, and a water tender. Thirty
one Of the 81 aliens were Chinese mess
attendants and cooks. These 81 are
the men in whose behalf Admiral
Dewey has recommended a special
provision of law to enable them to
become American citizens.
