PROTEST AGAINST
DEWEY'S ACTION

WASHINGTON, Aug 25.-The Navy De-
partment has received protest from w.
f. Sylvester of London. one of the owners
of the ship Abbey, seized by Admiral
Dewey on the charge of carrying arms to
the Filipinos. He states that he is about
to come to Washington to contest this
seizure on the ground that the Filipinos
were the allies of the United States at the
time these arms were shipped. At the
same time the State Department. through
Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai,
has prosecuted an inquiry into the ship
ment of arms, and a report is now before
the department. Based on the report, the
State Department is preparing a letter to
the Navy Department which will be the
ground for further proceedings. The own
ers of the Abbey have retained counsel
here to look after their interests, and he
has filed a number of papers both at the
State and Navy departments, and called
to-day to submit documents in the case.
The ramifications of the Abbey seizure
are engaging the attention of the State,
War and Navy departments and promise
to have some interesting sequels. 1t is
said at the State Department that the ac-
ton taken as to Consul Bedloe, our rep
resentative at Canton, was because he
certified that Mr.. Sylvester was an Amer
lean citizen, and on this the Abbey Sc
cured a registry. letter just received
here from Consul Bedloe states that he
is on leave of absence and is on his way
home via San Francisco.

His Attorney Says the United

CALL HEADQUARTERS, VEL
LINGTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON,
Aug. 25.-In addition to the question as
to his action in granting a certificate
of ownership to the alleged filibuster-
ing steamer Abbey. DR.. Edward Bedloe.
Consul at Canton, will be required
upon his return to Washington to an
swer to charges preferred against him
by the Chinese Government. Just what
their character is officials decline to
say, but it is understood they relate in
some manner to the issuance of Ameri-
can certificates to Chinese. Close Off
cial friends of DR.. Bedloe assert thai
he is the victim of a conspiracy.
The Abbey is held at present by Ad-
miral Watson under orders from the
Secretary of the Navy, and her release
can only be effected after the Navy
Department has had all the facts pre-
sented to it. If she is not released the
question may turn on the action of DR..
Bedloe in granting her an American
registry without fully informing him
self of the character of the vessel.
DR.. Bedloe's attorneys said to-day
that the Abbey carried only one cargo
of arms and ammunition to the Phil
ippines. THE sale of these arms and
ammunition" he continued, was made
sui General at Hongkong, Mr.. Wild
man. The Abbey was placed under the
American flag in the United States
consulate at Canton. The statement
that DR.. Bedloe gave assistance to the
Filipinos is false and malicious. Be
sides, at the time he issued the certifi-
cate the United States was not at war
with the Filipinos, but they were prac-
tically allies.

Wildman is connected with the presen :
tation of DR.. Bedloe's action regarding
the Abbey to the department.
The suspension of DR.. Bedloe was
only ordered after the department had
fully informed itself of the facts. DR..
Bedloe was appointed Consul at Can

Philadelphia, Nov. 5.-The UniVer-
sity of Pennsylvania foot ball team
was defeated by the Harvard eleven
by a score of 16 to 0 on Franklin t1eld
yesterday afternoon in the presence
OF nearly $4,000 spectators. Harvard
deserved the victory because she
played the better game. At no time
during the contest did Pennsylvania
have a chance to win.
An accident happened at the close
of the game which caused somewhat
of a sensation among the spectators.
When a whistle blew announcing the
close of the game, Overfield, Pennsyl-
vania's center rush, snatched the ball
and made for the dressing room on a
dead run. The custom at foot bail
games is that to the victor belongs
