HANS IS IN A HUFF
Germany GIowers Over Dew
ey's Remarks About Navy
and Emperor.

Berlin, March 2S.-The German Foreign
Office officials say they do not believe
that a diplomatic incident will result
from the recent interview with Admiral
Dewey published in a newspaper of
Newark. n. j.. and containing references
to the German navy and German En-
peror) The officials say they are re-
luctant to believe that the admiral was
correctly quoted, especially in view of
the good will he showed towards Ger
many in the messages exchanged with
Prince Henry"
The Foreign Officials add that should
the interview turn out to be true it
would prove somewhat disturbing to the
pleasant relations with the United
States" u
No official information on the subject
has been received from Washington.
Referring to the recent American ma
val manouvers in West Indian waters
the officials of the Foreign Office say they
appear to have been ill chosen, since
Germany has no interests in the West
Indies, and 1t would seem that the ma
nouevers could with greater aptitude
have been alluded to as being against
England, because England on the other
hand, ha sterritory there"
| The interview with Admiral Dewey has
angered the newspapers here. Even
| those of a usually moderate tone refer to
| it in a bitter manner. For instance, the
Vossische Zeitung says:
"The American navy is evidently suf-
fering from a disease of infancy-lack of
modesty It's leaders evince something
unspeakably immature. One can only
stand amazed that such intensified self
complacency should take root in people
of Germanic origin. Such behavior
would not excite wonder if it had oc-
Cured in some central or South Ameri-
can republic, or Hayti. Admiral Dewey
| is a worthy imitator of Captain (now
Rear AdmiraD Coglan, who at a New
! York club, gave a boastful bristling with
| insults to Germany, and warmed up the
exploded story that Admiral Dewey
compelled the German eet at Manila to
lie to when it refused to respect the
blockade. Captain Coghlan seems, how
ever. to have spoken from Admiral
| Dewey's own heart Captain Coghlan
was disciplined and President Mckinley
expressed to the German Ambassador
his regret that the incident occurred.
The same things must perhaps be done
now in order that super heated Deweys
may be cooled down. Political generals
and admirals at any rate, are not sign
of wholesome political conditions"
The Tageblatt says in Admiral Dew
| ey's words confirmation of 'its oft re-
peated assertion that the United States
easy victory over Spain has produced a
certain exaggerated military self con-
ceit'
The Tageblatt adds the information that
the vessels on the American station af-
ter docking at St. Thomas, Bermuda and
Newport News will proceed to South

The Scene at Greenville.
fBy the Associated Press. !

Greenville, Miss, March 2S.-The situa-
tion at this city tonight is quite as Sc
r1ous as 1t was last night and inch by
inch the flood is spreading to new sec
tions of the city; foot by foot the great
crevasse in the levee five miles to the
south of the city is widening and mile
after mile of fertile delta land is being
covered by the waters as they rush in
land from the gap.
The developments of the night is await
have thus far occurred have been suffi-
cient to shake the stouest heart and
make almost any new calamity prob
able
At the crevasse forces of men have
battled all day against the raging tor
rent, fighting stubbornly and desperately
with the food for each foot of the levee
that is being eaten at either side of the
crevasse by seething water 1t is very
probable that this effort must be aban-
doned and the crevasse allowed to pursue
its own course as it has grown wider
with each hour until tonight it ST more
than four hundred yards across and the
engineers say that it will not be improb-
able for the gap to increase to a mile S
width.
In Greenville there is very little of the
town free from water and the rise con-
tinues, although the river itself has. fall
en- more than a foot because of the
| crevasse. 1t seems probable that the
entire city will suffer disastrous de-
luge and the loss of property and damage
will reach large figure. Rescuing par
ties have been busy all day bringing
persons in boats from the low-lying
portions of the city to the higher sec
| tions, and thus far there have been no
known losses of life There have been
! many reports of families being drowned

swept away, but without exception there
has been no confirmation in this city OF

A CONFLICT WITH RoBsERs.
One Killed and One Desperately Wounded and
Captured Third Escapes.

Cleveland, o., March 2S.-A desperate
battle was fought today between three
robbers on one side and officers and cit
izens on the other at Bedford, a suburb
resulting in the death of one of the rob-
bers and the wounding and capture of
another. Many shots weer exchanged be-
fore the eeing men weer finally brought to
earth. "a
Very late last night three masked men
entered the town of Garrettsville, twen-
ty-five miles east of Cleveland. seized
the night policeman and bound and gagged
him. The officer was then marched to
the postoffice, where he wa scompelled
to witness an attempt to blow open the
safe by the marauders. They finally af-
ter some time. gave up the job without
securing anything OF value. They then
entered the store of F. f. George, where
they secured a small sum of money
Later they stole horse and buggy and
drove to Ravenna, where they boarded q
Cleveland and Pittsburg freight trair
for Cleveland.
Meantime the authorities had beer
aroused at both Ravenna and CARROTS

and when the train arrived there a mum
ber OF deputy sheriffs and a posse o.
citizens were on hand armed with guns
and revolvers. The three burglars
jumped from the train as IL drew up a

revolvers and running fight began
Finally one of the pursued men dropped
to the groun dead. A second was so bad
ly wounde dthat he left trail of bloot
in his footsteps and soon threw up hi
hands in surrender The third escaped.
Subsequently the captured robber wa
taken to the office OF United States Mar

as James Bradley. twenty-three year
old, of St Louis, Mo. He asserted tha
he did not know the name of the robbie
who was shot to death or OF the one VIII
