DEwEY's SIDE OF IT.


Washington, Nov. 23.-John z. Nc
Lean, brother of Mrs. Dewey, gave out
the following interview:
admiral Dewey has never for an In
slant intended that this gift from the
hearts Of his countrymen should ever
pass out Of his lineal family. He de-
termined the moment II came into his
possession to fix 1t so that In case of
his death the home should 60 direct to
his son George. After his marriage,
It occurred TO him that II would be q
graceful thing to let Mrs. Dewey share
In the transfer OF the property TO his
son, and so, in his Enthusiastically
gentle and lovely way, he, quite UNI
known to Mrs. Dewey, and without
any suggestion from her. arranged to
have the property pass first into her
hands, so that Mrs. Dewey might have
the pleasure Of transferring 1t to his
son.
ut was simply a graceful act Of cour-
tesy which the admiral thought might
be agreeable to Mrs. Dewey, and which
would delight both him and his son.
It was exceedingly unfortunate that
some unthinking persons should crit
icise the admiral before he had time TO
fully execute his purpose. The first
transfer was followed quickly by the
second, and the property Is now, as
Admiral Dewey all the while intended
II should be, in the name Of his SON
to be held by him and his heirs for
ever"
Tho Admiral Expresses Resentment.
Washington, Nov. 2S.-Admiral Dewey
tonight talked fully with reporter,
whom he received at his residence. The
admiral expressed the keenest regret
Indignation, sorrow, and resentment
at the manner in which the informa'
ton that he had decided his home to his
wife had been received by the Ameri'
can people. He said he had never ex'
perienced such trying time as the
present one, and that he did not be
lieve 1t was possible that the American
people should so misunderstood and
ill-treat him. At times his voice grew
SO husky that his words were scarcely
distinguishable, and he was SO nervou.
that he frequently arose and paced the
