Won Diederichs Not Dismissed.

NEW YORK, March H.-An official of
the German embassy. speaking of the cable
reports in reference to the retirement of
Admiral Won Deiderichs from the command
of the East Asiatic squadron, says there
is certainly misconception to the causes
leading to the admiraIs retirement. He
states that the admiral was appointed TO
the Asiatic command for prescribed period
and that his time OF service was completed
after leaving Manila and, joining in the
celebration in honor of Queen Wilhelminas
accession to the throne when he parted his
squadron at Batavia. The official contends,
therefore that the admiraIs retirement
would have taken place irrespective of the
supposed friction between the American and
German naval officials at Manila.
