residents soon disrupted all diplo-
matte relations existing between
the Connecticut and the MALAGA
nan.
Then Governor Smith fred a
cable dispatch at Sperry via
Washington which was as super
heated as the blast from turret
gun. The epistolary sights were
drawn sure and fine on the snob-
bishness and incapacity of one
Charles s. Sperry and the mark
was hit with large and effective
smash.
That night a dispatch was re-
ceived by Sperry peremptorily or
dering him to land the men. For
a day thereafter the after port side
of the Connecticut made a noise
like straitjacket.
To add to his already nauseous
display of sulkiness, Sperry sent
his regrets to all entertainments
rendered by the American colony
and attended only those given by
the British and Spanish residents.
Whenever he and Governor Smith
met at these functions they did
NOT meet. Each avoided the
other, and no language passed be-
tween them except unprintable
mental illusions. ~
+ Though tremendous injury was
done Manila through the unwar-
ranted conduct of Sperry in label
ing it pest hole, though Manila
lis without question the cleanest
and most healthy city in the East,
yet a more serious national injury
was done in the losing of the moral
effect the feet was expected to ex-
ercise on the Filipinos.
The fleet was kept at an mac
cessible point after the battle
practice was completed, and no
visitors were allowed aboard the
ships. One Filipino of some UNI
Outstanding reflected the senti-
ment of the great masses of these
untutored national wards, who re-
spect only courage and force, when
he said:
Americana admiral he afraid
get sick come shore. Some man
shoot gun he go scared dead"
But the bluejackets when finally
allowed shore liberty showed that
the Sperry hysteria was not epi-
demic in the feet.
Though the weather was unfa-
vorable at times, yet the men
were rendered one of the most
pleasant and interesting series of
entertainments which they have
enjoyed on the cruise.
Wild west shows, athletic car
nivals, theater parties and a most
remarkable display of individual
entertainment made their hours
ashore most pleasant.
The Americans of the East sin
cerely regretted the departure of
the jnnior officers and the enlisted
men of the fleet.
But there were no heartaches at
the passing of Sperry.

MANILA, p. l., Jan. The
enforced reception which Admiral
Charles s. Sperry was finally COM
PEELED by the Washington authori-
ties to accept from the residents
of Manila was veritable deaths
head affair.
In the history of the American
navy, no officer of rank has yet
approached the standard of snob-
bishness and boorish manners
established by Admiral Sperry dur
ing the visit of the feet to Ma
Mia. Without investigation as to
the health conditions of the city,
Sperry assumed an arbitrary and
antagonistic position toward al
lowing the men liberty and was
grossly insulting in his conduct
toward the committees of citizens
which waited upon him.
Though DR.. Stokes, commander
of the Relief, reported the city in
thoroughly sanitary condition, and
the bluejackets from Harber's
Philippine squadron were being
daily landed, Sperry remained i'm
movable in the position he had
assumed on his arrival.
Even the most meager civility
was denied every American, in
Guiding Governor General Smith.
