Washington Suddenly Real
ICES That War
Situation Is Really Graye--Secretary
Taft's Hints as to the Facts Pro-
duce a Profound Impression at
the Capitol.

Washington. Feb. 2.--Ofiicial efforts at
the White House, the war department
and the state department to smother
real and detailed information as to the
Japanese situation have not succeeded
in hiding the fact that there il grave
uneasiness among the officials most in
timately concerned with the negotiations.
The same feeling prevails in Congress.
Secretary Taft has been at the capitol
good deal This week, and he has com.
Imunicated his approximations to certain
senator's. The result was that all day
Thursday there were serious private dis
cussions in the cloakrooms among lead
ing senators, and the arguments were
OF sort fur from reassuring as to the
probable outcome Of the present contro.
Iversy.
II Is the fashion Of officials now to
deofy all talk Of clash with Japan as
absurd and nonsensical, and much is
being printed to this effect This Il far
from being the tone OF the senators and
members of Congress who are on the in
side Of the situation They are appre-
hensive Of grave consequences
1 A Perilous Situation.
1 A senator said yesterday that Secre-
tary Taft had disclosed enough Of the
I facts to certain senators To warrant the
feeling that the situation was perilous,
and that there was indeed possibility
OF war lie declared that the conditions
were too grave for him 10 20 into details,
hut he made it clear that 1t was with
reason that the president was straining
every nerve to solve the question diplo-
matically.
/ The administration Is at once fearful
and hopeful. The president is deter
mined to exhaust all the resources Of
diplomacy, ii need be. in order to reach
\ a solution and he has the able counsel
OF such men as Root and Taft.
The president hopes that California
and the San Francisco school board will
make concessions, and he is impressing
on the California delegation the fact
that the Pacific coast Is playing with
fire The president Of the san Francisco
school board and the superintendent of
schools have been sent for TO apprise
them OF the gravity Of the. situation, and
they are now ON their way here
Broadly speaking, ii Japanese pupils
Twill be allowed to enter the public
schools on the same terms as whites,
the Japanese government win undertake
TO exclude coolies. Tie administration
hopes to adjust matters on this basis,
and is working energetically to this end
4 but there are many difficulties.
One Of these difficulties is the prejudice
of the Calfomians against the Japanese

japanese on every point which bears on
the question OF the recognition OF their
equality with white races.

rental or income having been settled upon
the Generals daughter at the time Of
her marriage, This annex is located d.
rectly across the street from the Navy
Department proper and the windows of
the Admiral's private Office on the fourth
floor command magnificent view of Penn
sylvania avenue, the White House grounds,
etc. 1t Is Admiral Dewey's custom on
the occasion of important parades to en-
terrain at his office the naval attaches OF
foreign governments stationed at Wash
ington.
Very frequently the victor Of Manila
Bay is accompanied on his walks by
canine companion. Admiral Dewey Is fond
of dogs and he has had several such
chums, each Of which in turn had an I'm
portant place in his affections One OF
the most famous, of course, was the chow
dog Bob, which came into fame with his
master on the flagship Olympia, but died
soon after arriving In the United States.
The most noted Of his successors, also
named Bob, was given to the Admiral by
Mr.. Moody when the latter was secretary
of the navy. The Admiral first made the
acquaintance OF this homely thoroughbred
during a visit Of inspection to the United
States heet In the West Indies. Bob

proved anything but good sailor and
soon there had been established such
bond of sympathy between Dewey and
the sad sea dog that Secretary Moody
said: "I declare, Admiral that ungrateful
pup is more fond of you than he Is OF
me. I'll just have to give him to you."
Admiral Dewey finds only one draw
back to his pedestrian excursions In
Washington, and that is furnished by the
omnipreseEt sightseeing" automobiles,
which constitute his pet aversion. There
are not less than a dozen of these mon
ster motor cars in service at the ma
tional capital, and, of course, every one
Of them has the Admiral's home on its

SO occasions every "a hours when half a

fore the house to hear in stentorian tones
the history of the residence and its fa-
nous occupant.
Sometimes 1t happens that sightseeing
delegation draws up to the curb just as
the Admiral emerges for walk or ap-
proaches the house on his return from
one. Then the lecturer shouts through
his megaphone: "Ah, ladies and gentle
men, here you have an opportunity to
see the Admiral himself" but at the

all sides Admiral Dewey frequently
chooses these morning hours also to burnish
up a bit on international law-always a
favorite subject with him. 1t may be
remembered that statesmen and diplo-
mats the world over were surprised at the
knowledge of the common law Of nations
displayed by Admiral Dewey during those
trying days after the battle of Manila
Bay when certain other nations showed a
disposition to elbow Uncle Sam out of
his new won position of vantage in the
Orient, and probably there would be pro-
portionately greater astonishment today
In the chancellories of Europe If the
masters of statecraft could be made to
realize to what an extent Uncle Sans
prize sailor man has fine legal points at
his finger tips.

hero Of Manila Bay Is far too energetic a
man to be content to sit down and fold
his hands while yet in his prime. This
General Board is not one of the cogs In
the governmental machine, about which
the public is wont to read frequently In
the newspapers, but it Is a decidedly i'm
portant feature of Uncle Sans business
organization, nevertheless. 1t might al
most be termed the Board of Directors
of the Navy Department and has no end
of influence in determining what policies
shall be followed in building new ships,
distributing the warships In commission,
etc.
For instance this General Board had
mucn TO do with bringning about the re-
cent decision of the administration to
90 in for the building of battleships of
the largest size, 2o,000-ton floating for
tresses that will rival the much-talked-
about British ship Dreadnought, and then
again 1t had a hand in formulating plans
for an extensive increase In the Yankee
fleet Of submarines. The Board is COM
posed Of several officers of experience and
standing but 1t Is not too much to say
that Admiral Dewey Is the prime mover
In all that 1t does Naturally, an officer
10 WlelQ the Iuil LueuouIc VI ihAuchSC ~
tached to such a post must be alert and
wideawake, with an eye out for innova-
tions that spell improvement Admiral
Dewey measures up to requirements In
these respects and just by way Of Illus
tration 1t may be cited that no officer of
any of the worlds navies was quicker
than he to interpret. the lessons Of Russo
Japanese War and to revise his ideas ac-
cordlngly.
If the Admiral of the Navy is trihe
late in arriving In the morning at his
Office in Washington 1t does not by any
means signify that he is guilty of tardi-
ness in beginning the serious work of the
day. In all probability he has been
awake since 9 o'clock or earlier, for the
Admiral is, as rule, poor sleeper
Soon after dawn In the summer, and ere
the sun has peered above the horizon In
winter, the Chinese servant who acts as
Admiral Dewey's right-hand man has
biewed cup Of tea in the approved Ori-
entail fashion.
After he has had this portion of tea.
the naval officer Is ready for his morning
constitutional, which varies in length ac-
| cording to the occasion. The state of
| the weather has much to do with the
| length OF the tramp, for Admiral Dewey
| has no special love for rain and disa-
| greeable drizzle will cause him to curtail
the promenade. Returning to his library,
the first officer Of the Navy settles him
self for two hours of solid reading be-
| fore breakfast. 1t is In this period of
| freedom from interruption that he makes
| that comprehensive review Of contempor-
ary literature and the periodicals of the
day that give him his sure grasp upon

tions upon American affairs.

TYNHEN the United States naval off,
IN GERS who accompanied Admiral
~ Dewey in his dash into Manila Bay
on that memorable Sunday morning in
1893 gather around the banquet board In
annual reunion next Wednesday evening
thev will find the greatest hero of the
Snanish-American War touched but light
Iv bv the years which have interviewed
since the day he made this nation
world power. The foremost officer of the
American Navy has assuredly lost nothing
In looks or in spirit during the past dec
ade. Indeed, his eyes are brighter and
his step more elastic than those Of the
average man many years his junior.
In the estimation of most persons who
have an opportunity to observe him at
close range Admiral Dewey Is today lead
ing the ideal life for representative
American citizen. To be sure, 1t is, In its
restful quiet and placid routine, decidedly
In contrast to the fierce glare of pub
licity from which he never once escaped
during the years Immediately following
the Spanish War, but far from object
ing to this more tranquil existence the
Admiral of the Navy manifestly relishes
1t, and 1t would be difficult to find a
more self satisfied, or rather more con-
tented, man in the world, nor one with
better cause for his complacency.
OF course, 1t Is not meant to imply
that Admiral Dewey's present-day scheme
of life has in any degree placed him out
of touch with all that goes on In that
sphere where he has been for years 30
conspicuous figure. On the contrary,
he is keenly alive to all that pertains to
progress and development in his chosen
profession. He spends at least 10 months
of each year in the city of Washington,
where his home is located, and Is
prominent participant In every Official
function of any Importance. once OF
twice a year, as rule, ne makes
trip to Annapolis, and perhaps makes an
address to the midshipmen at the unlted
States Naval Academy and at Irregular
intervals he hoists his flag on that hahu-
some cruiser, the United States ship May
flower, and makes a cruise OF Inspection
to some rendezvous of the North Atlan
tic feet, in some instances so timing his
visit as to witness the regular target
practice of the squadron
lust here 1t may be noted that many
persons seem to have the idea that Ad-
miral Dewey has naught to do but draw
his salary of $1s,5Oo per year and en-
Joy himself to his hearts content where
ana when fancy dictates. As matter
of fact, Uncle Sam has no more con-
scientious employe than the ranking OIL
Ger of the Navy. He goes to his desk
with the regularity Of business man,
and save when he is absent on some
such trip as those above mentioned can
usually be found In his Office. on pretty
nearly every working day in the year.
Admiral Dewey is the president OF the
General Board Of the Navy, and 1t Is
with the duties Of this position that he
occupies himself systematically, for the
