WASHINGTON. July l5.-The fact that
our government; has been engaged In a
vigorous correspondence with the German
government through Ambassador White.
has given rise TO the assumption that tbs
state department has been making repre-
sensations 10 Germany on the subject OF
the conduct of the German naval COM
manders in the Philippines. This. however.
Is erroneous. the correspondence in Ques-
ton relate TO the old and troublesome
Issue. the exclusion DEGREES OF the German
government. directed against the United
states hog products.
IL appears that acting on very scant
evidence. as IL was regarded by our on
cials. the German customs officers have
denied admission into Germany of a very
large and valuable consignment OF boned
hams from Chicago packing establish
ment OF the highest reputation. The mat
ter has been paced in the hands of Am
bassador White 10 deal with. he being
thoroughly familiar with all the aspects
of the meat exclusion decree.
The attitude assumed by the German
naval commanders in the Philippines is
without doubt a serious menace.
The spirit Of clubbing as between the
insurgents and American forces, in the
Philippines. attributed to the German gov
eminent by its own papers. is far from
satisfactory 10 a government like ours, ac-
ly in international issues. instead OF adopt
ing underhand courses.
Admiral Dewey's recent mail communi-
cation TO the navy department has given
the most generous recognition TO al those
who participated in any way on board the
American ships during the battle of Manila.
including a specific recommendation as to
the Chinese who are serving In various
minor capacities. This recommendation
affecting a matter of citizenship was turn
ed by the navy to the state department.
where the statement was made today:
In further proof of the nobility of char
acter OF Admiral Dewey, he recommended
TO the United States government that
the Chinese servants and other Chinese
who were on the ships OF his squadron
during the battle at Manila. and who rem
dered most efficient service on that occas-
ion and behaved in a most exemplary man.
ner be recognized by this government In
some substantial way. He seems TO
think that men who. have bat
tied for our country should not be
excluded from IL. In referring to these
Chinese ne says that they showed such
courage and energy in the face of the
enemy that they were certainly worthy TO
be accorded the same privileges as citizens
of other countries. who have not exposed
their lives in the country in which they
seek citizenship. He decided in favor OF
recognizing the brave and useful Chinese
in such way as shall admit them to the
United States in ease they desire TO enter
II and 10 become citizens of It."
