THAT DEWEY CABLEeRAm.
Admiral Crowninshiold Claims He Was
the Author.


Washington, July 1l.--Rear Admiral
~. S. Crowninshield of the bureau of
navigation has issued a formal state
ment to the effect that he Is the author
of the famous dispatch of Admiral
Dewey ordering him to proceed from
Hong Kong to Manila and there cap
ture or destroy the Spanish fleet. Ad-
miral Crowninshield states that he
wrote the dispatch in the white house
and submitted 1t to both Attorney Cen
eral Griggs and the president and that
the only change made in the dispatch
as he wrote 1t was the addition of
either word capture or the word
either the word capture" or the word
The dispatch, according to Admiral
Csowninshield, was then handed to
lieutenant Whittlesey, who took 1t TO
Secretary Long and after the latter
had signed il, sent it to Admiral
Dewey.
In conclusion ADMIRAL Crowninshield
says that whatever credit comes from
having given the order belongs to the
president and Secretary Long.
Secretary Long said on this subject:
My recollection is entirely distinct.
Immediately upon the declaration Of
Mar | had conferred with the president
about an order to Dewey to attack the
Spanish fleet at Manila. On Sunday,
April "A, / went TO the white house, sat
with the president on sofa In the cor
ridor and earnestly advised the send
Ing of such an order. But for Ad-
miral Crowninshields statement
unhesitatngly should have said
had with me the dispatch which
had been prepared in his bureau
of navigation and that. the presl-
dent approving, l returned to the navy
department and sent 1T in to the bu-
reau of navigation to be put in cipher.
| then went out TO drive. AS l drove
out between ii and ~ o'clock l remem-
Der passing Admiral Crownlnshield. AS
to what transpired later ut the white
house at the meeting which he de-
sclbes /. of course, had no knowledge.
u seems to be probable that the
president, after his interview with me
sent for some of the cabinet and ADJ
miral crowninshield and took up the
dispatch, which, according to my recol-
lection, had already been prepared and
gave it final consideration. Probably
also there had come in Dewey's dis
patch of the day before advising us
,hat he had been ordered to get away
from Hong Kong

British Liberals Adopt Vote Of Confidence

in His Leadership.
London, July 1.-THE much discussed
meeting Of the liberals called by Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman, liberal
Leader in the house of commons, with
the object Of ascertaining whether no
still retains the confidence Of the par
ty, was held at the Reform club to-
day and resulted in the adoption of q
vote of confidence in the leader of thu.
opposition. All factions Of liberals at
tended. The liberal imperialists, head
ed by II. H. Asquith, We're there almost
to man, but Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman and Sir William Vernon
Harcourt were the only two who re-
received any marked recognition on en-
tering. The crowd watched the ar
rivals and greeted them with cries of
.How's your friend Kruger?" Sir
Henry made conciliatory speech. The
lmperialists showed they would not be
associated with any anti-national poll
Icy, but the gathering was harmonious
ana seems to have resulted in tenn
porary clearing of the air. In the
course OF his speech Campbell Banner
man met the tmperialists SO far as to
say the war must be brought to VIC
torlous conclusion, but he thought the
liberals ought to insist on amnesty in
the settlement. While the country had
the sword in one hand. it ought to
have the olive branch in the other, and
show disposition to come to terms
with an enemy that had fought so
bravely.
Asquith expressed the highest APP
probation Of the qualities of Sir Henry.
but at the same time he regretted that
the liberal leader in the house had not
been more outspoken in policy of
honest difference rather than in the
impossible attempt to reconcile differ
ence. He urged those taking the views
which he himself held should be free
to express their opinions within the

Bannerman.
