VIEWS OF ADMIRAL DEWEY.


WASHINGTON July 15.-Admiral Dewey
is entirely familiar with the situation in
China. When asked the direct question,
what is likely to be the outcome of the
present complications in China? ?" the adj
miral shook his head as If uncertain about
venturing an opinion. 1.-THE situation in
China" he said. 81 regard as a very
serious one-very serious, indeed. 1 can
only see but one outcome as a result OF
the conflict now in progress in China, and
that is the adoption of the American policy
in favor of open ports for American COM
merce on equal terms with all the other
commercial nations of the world. 1t must
come to that eventually. and it is fortu-
nate that We are in a position to say to
the nations of Europe, We are in this

seems that God is with us In making 1t
possible to have at the moment the largest
army of men and the most formidable feet
of ships right on the spot to enforce our
rights and see that American interests are
protected. Not only have we an army of
over 1900 trained soldiers at the very
nation that has gunboats on the Yang-Tse
