COMFORTABLE THOUGH WEAK
SEES NEWSPAPERS AND LIKES
INTEREST SHOWN.
Now There Is Some Concern Over the
Condition of the Patients Chill
dren, One of Whom Has
Pneumonia.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, March 2.-That Rud-
yard Kipling's condition has improved
very greatly during the past twenty
four hours is evidenced by the fact that
but one bulletin was posted during the
day. That was of a very satisfactory
nature, and it was announced tonight
that no further bulletins would be forth
coming until tomorrow afternoon.
The bulletin issued at the Hotel Gren-
oble at o'clock this afternoon was:
Mr.. Kipling has made satisfactory
progress. He has a slight fever, but
is comfortable though weak, and reso-
luton is taking place in the affected
portion of the lungs.
"E. G. JANEWAY.
THEODORE DUNHAM."
Another indication that the patient
is getting along we'll is that tonight he
asked to be shown the newspapers and
seemed to be greatly pleased and af-
fected at the interest in his illness
shown by the American people.
Mr.. Kipling spent a comfortable
night. He slept for some hours and
rested we'll, and again this morning ne
enjoyed an hour or two of sleep In
this way he has in a great measure
recuperated his strength, and the
promises are very bright for his speedy
recovery.
According to the latest reports Kip
ling's two little daughters are not serf-
ously i'll, as was at first thought. The
elder, Josephine, child of six, is be-
ing cared for at the home of Miss
Deforest, a friend of Mr.. Kipling. and
tonight Miss Deforest said that the
little one was doing very nicely. in
deed This was after DR.. Janeway
had visited the child, with whom he
spent a considerable time. She IS SUI
fering from pneumonia, and 1t is not
known whether she is absolutely out
of danger The younger of Mr.. Kip
ling's daughters, Elsie, child of three.
was said tonight by Mr.. Doubleday
to be suffering from nothing more serl-
Gus than a severe attack of bronch1t1s.
and it is hoped that the physicians Will
be able to save her from pneumonia
At $50 tonight Mr.. Doubleday came
down from the Kipling apartments
and said that the patient was making
rapid improvement.
"Dr. Janeway will not come back to
the hotel tonight" said Mr.. Double
day. There is no reason why he
should. Mr. Kipling is making SUCH
progress that DR.. Janeway's continued
presence is unnecessary

DEWEY THE DIPLOMAT
His Admirable Conduct of the
Situation at Manila.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS INVOLVED
Question With the German Naval
Fleet TactfuIIy Settled.
FORCING SPANS SURRENDER

While Admiral Dewey's fame will I'M
:! doubtedly rest mainly on his purely naval
achievements. history will also show that
his line of conduct during the entire period
of the Spanish war and the Filipino in
surrection entitle him to high rank among
the worlds diplomatists. Without intend
ing to detract from his deserved reputa-
ton as the greatest sea captain of modern
times the fact must not be overlooked
that much of his success was due to the
diplomatic course pursued by him in sue
cessfully dealing with the many trying
international problems arising from the
establishment of American sovereignty IN
the orient. 1t took an able diplomatist
to manage things at Manila after the bat
tie had been won. That Dewey did the
work well is evidenced by the fact that
from the time of the battle to the pres
ent day there has not occurred single
serious complication with any of the nu-
merous powers deeply interested in the
result of the war
England, France, Germany Italy, Rus
STA, Austria, China and Japan had large
interests at stake. commercial or other
wise. and it is due to Deweys tact and
careful management that trouble was
aVerteG with each and all of them. The
nearest approach to complication arose
in connection with the action of the Ger
man fleet in the early part of the cam
paign 1t looked at one time as though
the Germans were determined to make
trouble for the United States. Their naval
officers were careless of the ordinary rules
governing blockaded ports, and did sew
eral things which might easily have led
to trouble had a less discreet officer than
Admiral Dewey been in command. One
incident that almost led to friction hap
pened in Subg bay. The German war
ship Irene went there while a Filipino
gunboat was preparing to attack the Span
ish garrison. and while it did not actually
interfere, it acted in most suspicious
manner. After cruising around i'll a
threatening way, she stopped near the
garrison and took off a number of Span
iards and several Catholic priests. The
incident was reported to Admiral Dewey
at Manila and he sent the Raleigh and
Concord to Subig bay to investigate When
the Irene saw them coming she weighed
anchor and proceeded to sea, shaping her
course so as to avoid the American ships
The Raleigh and Concord fired a few shots
at the garrison and took possession of it,
Although Admiral Dewey refrained from
complaining of the action Of the Irene to
the German admiral. the latter voluntarily
informed him that she had merely taken
off a few non-combatantS ana German
subjects who desired to go to Manila Al
though it was clear violation of block
aiding rules, Admiral Dewey concluded to
overlook it and never even mentioned the
subject to the German admiral

BioodShed Imminent.

Shortly after another incident occurred
which came near resulting in bloodshed.
One day about dusk the lookout on the
Olympia sighted an approaching steam
launch. He hailed her. but got no re-
Spouse. He gave a second signal, with
a similar result, whereupon he reported to
Admiral Dewey and Capt. Lamberton, who
were on deck at the time. He was in
of the craft and see if that wouldn't cause
her commander to answer the call The
shot was fired but the launch continued
on her course. This angered the admiral,
and he directed that shot be fired at the
boat, and it don't make much difference
if you hit it 1t was a siX-pounder shot,
and if it had struck the boat it would have
sent it to the bottom. The shot missed
it, however, by a few feet. At the same
time a search light was turned on the reck-
less intruder, and it was seen thar il flew
the German flag. The second shot serv-
ed it's purpose, and the launch prepared
to stop. Before she did SO, however, one
of the Olympia'S launches, with a rapid
fire gun in the bow, was at her side pre-
pared to enforce the admirafs orders The
officer in command recognized the German
lieutenant and escorted him to the Olyn-
pia. There are many versions as to what
passed between him and Admiral Dewey.
The one most generally accepted is that
given by Mr.. John Barrett in his book
about Dewey, which runs as follows:

PerpleX1nS SITUATION.
After the destruction of the Spanish fleet
Admiral Dewey was confronted with most
perplexing situation. The Spaniards in Ma
Mia were surrounded by an unknown num-
Der of Filipino insurgents who were prac-
tically beyond control. The arsenal at Ca
vite, which the navy had taken posses
sion of. had been practically turned over
to the insurgents. who were permitted to
arm themselves in order to guard against
probable forays from the Spanish army.
Admiral Dewey realized that while the
fall of Manila was inevitable the inhabi-
tants would be in great danger from the
insurgents, many OF them only half civil
lied. Filled with hatred to Spain. they
were bound to commit depredatons and
atrocities. which he felt almost powerless
to prevent. Aguinaldo had openly threat
ened to loot the town. Great tact was re-
quired in the treatment of these problems.
The first military expedition under Gen.
Anderson was already on Its way from
San Francisco. but even with those rein
forcements it was felt that Admiral Dewey
had not sufficient force TO cope with the
great number of maddened insurgents, bent
on taking vengeance on the town.
At the same time the beleasuered Span
iards resorted to every device to improve
their position, and some undertook to util-
ize ships of neutral nations in their en-
deavors to escape the Americans at sea
and the insurgents on shore. During this
exciting period Admiral Dewey seemed to
sanction the interests of Aguinaldo. Elk
IRENE policy dictated his course in that re-
spect, and it is Impossible to predict the
result if he had acted differently. Its i'm
mediate effects were to maintain control
of the situation and to hold the insurgents
In restraint until the battle ship Oregon
and Ger. Merritt arrived with the bulk of
the rcinforceIEents from San Francisco.
While waiting for the arrival of the Ore
gan and the other arninr clatis the cOmpl-
cations arose with the German admiral
During the same critical period the British
captain. Chichester, comma nding the I'm
morfaiite, gave a substantial illustration
OF the trite saying that blood is thicker
than water
The international Aspect.
Meanwhile al sorts OF Questions arose re-
curing q knowledge Of international law,
