sador, on hearing this remark. added the
statement that statue Of Dewey In time
WOULD be erected in Washington along with
those of Farragut Dupont and others The
foreign tributes to Dewey are unmistake-
ably sincere and genuine.
The observation of the foreign experts is
now directed toward Commodore Dewey
next move. One of them pointed out to-day
that while Dewey's force Of probably 2,5O0
men was not sufficient for him TO occupy the
town of Manila. yet ii was ample TO allow
of Cavite and Corregidor. He believed the
strategic move of Dewey following the an
Inhalation of the Spanish fleet would De to
silence and then occupy these two forts
About one thousand men, he said. could pc
spared from the ships without Gripping
them and with these men at Cavite ana
Corregidor. Commodore Dewey practically
would hold the city of Manila and all its
SURROUNDINGS without the necessity or TAX
ing possession of the city itself
The foreign experts are also much inter-
ested in the approaching active movements
in Cuba. One of them stated to-day that
from strategic standpoint he thought II
ing at any point within the present line of
blockade. The danger of such a landing, he
pointed out. was that railways run along the
coast of Cuba. connecting Havana with all
the points covered by the blockade. These
railroads are in the hands of the Spanish and
would permit them to mass five thousand
soldiers at any point threatened with
landing. For this reason. he said. the eX-
pedient move would seem to be to take
point remote from the present blockade,
such as Santiago. 1t would be difficult TO
mass Spanish troops there in time to pre-
vent a landing. Once taken, he said, the
American forces would have a base from
which to supply arms and ammunition to
the insurgents. He believed a base from
which the insurgents could be fully equipped
was of far greater value than one for offen-
sive operations by American troops. There
continues to be complete silence In all Tor
eign quarters as to any movement for in

AN IMPLIED THREAT.
Europeans May Attempt to Interfere
in the Philippines.

LONDON, May 4.-The Westminster Ga
zette this afternoon, discussing the Philip
pine question, quotes the assumption OF
American newspapers that the United
States can do precisely what she chooses
with Manila or the Philippine islands-re-
turn them, keep them, sell them or barter
them-implying that America has only to
speak and no one will venture to dispute
her right to dispose of her lawful prize as
she chooses. The Westminster Gazette says
it much fears that this view will entail
disagreeable surprises" adding: In en-
tering European politics the United States
will probably discover that these simple
ideas of doing what you will your own
have become obsolete in Europe. The first
symptoms are likely to be marked by an in
crease of the anti-American pressure which,
if Great Britain could be counted on to
join, would speedily lead to intervention in
behalf of SPAIN After pointing out the
futility of expecting Great Britain to join
in such a. movement and the probability of
attempts on the part of the continental
powers at the close of the war to prevent
the United States from holding the Philip
pine islands, the Westminster Gazette says:
1.-THE natural tendency of all this is to bring
the United States and Great Britain to-
gether, and we hope 1T will be fostered by
statesmen and by revival of the arbitra-
ton treaty at the first opportunity.

FOREIGNERS PRAISE DEWEY.
Views of Naval and Military Attaches
Who Are Going to the Front.


WASHINGTON, May 4.-rhe stats of the
various embassies and legations at Wash
ington are being rapidly recruited by mill
tary and naval officers who have been as
signed to make observations of the military
and naval operations in the present war
with Spain. Lieutenant j. Rodler, of the
Austrian imperial navy, arrived here to-
day, and after securing authorization from
the naval authorities. he will go forward
to inspect the operations of the United
States fleet in Cuban waters Captain Lee,
of the British Royal Artillery, and formerly
stationed at Halifax, arrived three days ago
and after securing credentials from the au-
thorities here, proceeded to Chickamauga
and thence to Tampa, Fla. He is an expert
authority on explosives. Major De Grant.

will start for Cuba as soon as military
movement of any proportion is begun there
Count Won GoetZen, formerly military at

ceed to Cuba. He left here about two
months ago, after his marriage to Mrs. Lay

Won Goetzen, the German major, and Major

accompany this first movement, the former
not being likely to arrive in time, while the
latter will wait until more general move

will be rather more general than those of
the military observers. as 1T will take in not
only the operations in Cuba, but those of

These military and naval experts are
united in giving Commodore Dewey the
highest tribute for his recent fearless en-
trance of Manila harbor and his furious at
tack on the Spanish fleet. When it was
suggested to-day to one of them that come
of the foreign press comments were dis
paraging he promptly answered that this in
no way reflected foreign naval and military
views. Commodore Dewey's achievement,
he said. was beyond criticism and In time

with the destruction of the felt works and
