New York, July 3L-The New
York Herald prints n c~ablegram
from Trieste. Austria, this morning,
In which Admiral Dewey is quoted as
saying: Our next war will be with
Germany" The dispatch follows:
IL had a conversation with Admiral
Dewey on board the Olympia yester-
day. In reply to q remark suggesting
that Germany had intended to inter-
fere at Manila the admiral said:
Yes. Prince Henry of Prussia is
a mar Of the type of his brother, the
German emperor"
"And Admiral Won Diedrich?" I
asked.
He was relieved from Manila In
accordance with an arrangement of
long standing, and because his time
was up, and not rs a concession made
In friendliuess to the American gov
eminent.
"Germany's policy is to prevent
other powers from obtaining what
she cannot acquire herself"
After we had spoken Of Samoa as
an evidence of the German policy, the
admiral said: 1--WE need n large and
thoroughly equipped navy that can
cope with any other power on earth.
England Is our natural ally at this
time, and differences such rs those
about the Venezuelan border and the
fisheries question should not interfere

LONDON, July 31.-The National Re-
view, in IN article discussing the
probability of an alliance between
France and Germany against England
has reached the conclusion that such
q move Is within the bounds of prac.
tical politics. The writer points out
that Germany's future expansion must
be colonial and hat France has sim
liar interests. In this respect both
France and Germany are somewhat
barred by highlands widespread hold.

and is the enemy of every power with
colonial or maritime ambitions. the
writer asserts, supplies both French
men and Germans with an argument
in support Of the union.
Emperor William, Is Is argued, Is
acting upon the supposition that,
much as Franco dislikes Germany,
she must dislike England more after
the Fashoda incident. The emperor
dreams Of forming q coalition Of cen-
trail and western powers Of the conti-
nent, to be used, firstly, against Eng
land: secondly, against the United
States and, finally, against Russia,
though at the beginning the latter
firm. The National Review writer
finds In these dreams an explanation
of the hitherto almost inexplicable
policy of the German emperor to-
wards the United Statea The article
continues:
The reason for Emperor Williams
seeming desire to unnecessarily quar-
rel with a state Of such gigantic
strength is that he wished to assume
the position of champion Of Europe
against transmarine powers"
The article says further: ITO the
continent, before 1898, the United
States appeared a huge, drowsy mon.
ster that spent its energy in rare mo-
ments of wakefulness in nibbling the
lions tail. No n objected much
to this. but when the huge beast
shook itself and planted n paw upon
the Spanish West Indies and another
upon the Philippines 1t became an
object Of real terror to European
statesmen who did not know whom 1t
might next attack. The conditions
were all the more unnerving as Eng
land refused to walk into the trap
and turn her navy against the United
States. So the events of 1895 only
served to bring the two transmarine
powers together"
ST. PETERSBURG, July 3l.-The tend
ency manifested by France towards
reapproachment with Germany is
causing great irritation and suspense
In Russia. The newspapers here ex-
press in strong terms their great dis
satisfaction, and try to demonstrate
that Russia and France could not ad.
init Germany to their intimacy with
out prejudice to themselves, al the
Franco Russian alliance Is based upon
projects Numerically opposed to the
aims of Germany.
