.DEWEYS SUCCESSOR
In the Philippines Will Be
Rear Admiral Watson.
But Dewey Will Not Come Home
Until He Sees Fit.
Will Come in the Olympia, Via Suez Canal
to New York.

Washington, May S.-The navy de-
partment has selected a successor to
Admiral Dewey to command the Ash
attic station. Orders We're issued, to-
day. detaching Rear Admiral Watson
from command of the Mare Island navy
yard and ordering him to report to
Admiral Dewey a Manila, to relieve
that officer when he feels that he can
be spared there. Rear Admiral
Kempff, at present on waiting orders.
has been ordered to succeed Admiral
Watson in command Of the Mare Is
land navy yard.
1t was stated that Admiral Dewey
will come from Manila direct to New
York when he returns to the United
States. However. it was added the
admiral viii not start until the com
mission Of which he is a member, has
completed the work it has undertaken,
AZ least 50 far rs it relates to the res
tOration Of peace To the islands
The reason for bringing the flagship
Olympia to New York instead of hav-
ing her come to San Francisco where
she was built ~ said to be primarily
because Admiral Dewey expected to
make the passage IN his own flagship
and also for the reason that the Mare
Island navy yard threatens to be over
Whemed with repair work as soon as
the numerous vessels of DeWey's fleet
begin to return to the United States
The Olympia is in need Of a thorough
overhauling, having been away from
her home station longer than any other
Of the vessels in the Asiatic fleet and
rendered more that the usual amount
Of hard service during her absence
The war department officials seem to
be more than ever encouraged over the
situation in Manila. The report of
Gen. Otis received. today, indicates
that the American troops are well dis
posed. 1t has been evident that the in
surgents operating in the swamps and
jungles east Of Gen. Macarthur have
been very annoying, but the army gun
boats have made ii too hot for them to
remain. Gen. Lawton appears to be
pushing northward some u miles to
the east OF Macarthur. The Rio
Grande river lies between them and
there the gunboats are evidently at
work. The portions Of the dispatch
which the department has not made
public refer perhaps to the future
movements of the two divisions of the
army.
The dispatch is as follows:
Manila, May s.
Adjutant General, Washngton:
Situation as follows: Lawton at
Maasin and Balinag. scouting parties
to north and east. Macarthur at San

try between Manila and northern

The Berlin cable dispatch indicating
the failure Of the proposed legislation
for the abatement Of restrictions upon
the Importation into Germany of Amer
lean meat products was received here
with grave apprehension. 1t is begin
ming to suggest itself to the officials
that however well disposed towards
fair treatment of American meats the
German government may be unable to
command the necessary strength in the
Reichstag to correct the discrimina-
tions from which our meats have suf-
fered so long. The results of the fail
ure of the meat bill are likely to be
much broader than are commonly sup
posed, for it may be stated that our
government regards the projected re-
lief of our meat from oppressive dis
elimination rs an absolute essential to
the negotiation Of any sort Of the gen.
eral authorization to make trade du-
ties, therefore. it is exacted that the
negotiations which have been going on
during the past few months. looking to
the making of a reciprocity arrange
ment Will be practically suspended
pending favorable action by the Ger
man government on the meat inspection
bill. The dispatch follows:
Berlin, May SIT is authoritatively
stated that the committee of the Reich
stag to which was referred the meat
inspection bill which was substantially
agreed upon between the imperial
cabinet and the United States ambas-
sador here. Mr.. Andrew d. White, has
reported against the measure and in
favor of bill so hostile to American
interests that the government Will
probably refuse to sanction it. The
most unfortunate circumstances, as
regards American interests in the
meat inspection bill, was the fact that
there were insistent declarations in the
United States that embalmed and poi
sonous meats had been supplied to the
troops in Cuba. Representatives of
the German land-owning interests
lately declared that if the Americans
sent poisonous meat to their soldiers
they would certainly send it to the
Germans. A bad result is that the bill
as reported back provides for such ex-
animation and inspection of American
force without utterly destroying
American trade with Germany"

a strong protest to the state depart
ment against the eXtention of the
Chinese exclusion act to Cuba, this

Berlin, April IL.
Capt Lieut. Won Rebur-Paschwitz
assigned to the imperial German en-
bassy at Washington, has repeatedly
spoken in his report of the very great
courtesy he has met with in United
States naval circles. On the occasion
of his presence in this city, said officer
confirmed his reports in words of the
warmest and most grateful apprecia-
ton and expressed the conviction that
it was solely due to the valuable as
sisstance of all authorities concerned
and the ever ready courtesy of the Off
GERS of the United States navy that he
was enabled to discharge his duties
during and after the Spanish American
war.
Capt. Lieut. Paschwitz further stated
gratefully that wherever opportunity
offered he had enjoyed the most liher-
al hospitality of his American COM
rades. There can be no doubt but that
the great readiness of the authorities
in giving information and the extreme
courtesy of the different officers and
officials Of the navy ashore as we'll as

lily 10 your eXcellency's initiative. I
therefore desire to express to your ex-
