GERMANS REPLY TO
DEWEY rs EXPECTED
TO CLEAR CONTROVERSY

Berlin. Feb. c1.-Count Reveutlov,
commenting on the announcement that
Admiral Won Diederichs had decided to
reply to Admiral Dewey's charges, said
tonight.
THE decision is highly gratifying, for
II offers the only possible chance of
thoroughly clearing up the incident.
Dewey's incredible narrative, portrayins
the conduct of German naval officers in
the worst possible light must not and
shall not be permitted to gain accent
ance as an alleged historical fact.
Grand Admiral Won Rooster, head Of
the Navy League; Admiral Breusing.
Capt. Won Kuehlwetter, and Prof Hans
Belbruck, all decline to discuss the mat
ter on the ground that they are unable
to follow Admiral Dewey's utterance,
sufficiently close. The newspapers are
beginning to show the liveliest interest
in the matter.
Admiral Won Tirpitz. secretary of the
cial statement as a revised and ampllfied
the Reichstag in regard to the Dewey
Won Diederichs episode.
Concerning the statement in the auto
biography OF Admiral Dewey severely
attacking Admiral Won Diederichs, who
commanded the German squadron at
Manila, I desire to say that a complete
expose of the events OF that time which
Won Diederichs is about to publish will.
so far as my information goes, make
Enthusiastically. plain the entire clearness
and correctness of Won Diederichs' course,
and also that Of his subordinate ofhcers."

JOHN D. MAY ESCAPE
PAYING OHIO TAXES
Amendment by Legislature to Exist

the Oil King.

Cleveland, Ohio. Feb. Alt developed

Rockefeller will escape, II is claimed,
because the law specifies that a taxpayer

portion Of the year. Rockefeller had been
in Cleveland more than six of the twelve
months prior to February ], but his de-
parture two weeks ago for New York

BENTON MURDERED
LIKE Dog BY VILLA"
Telegram to Senator Fall Says There
Is No Evidence Englishman
Was Aggressor.
LIVELY DEBATE THEN ENSUES

There was lively discussion in the ex-
equity session of the Senate yesterday
afternoon on the situation in Mexico.
Senator Fall, of New Mexico, started it
by having read from the desk two tele-
grams, one signed by George Curry,
former governor of New Mexico and later
a member of Congress, and another
signed by r. NJ. Dudley, of FL Paso. As
soon as the clerk had concluded reading
the two dispatches, Senator Shively, act
ing chairman of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations, moved an executive
session and the discussion went on be-
hind closed doors
r. NJ. Dudley wired the following:
william Benton. was murdered like a
do by Villa. Almost certain Villa did it
personally No evidence that Benton was
the aggressor. Everything showed ii to
have been a cold-blooded murder. Cas-
tilIo a guest of our government. with
safety from punishment. Villa bOasting
of his crime. Is there no protection any
where? FL Paso full of rebel officers.
The business affairs of the rebellion
openly done here. Your thousands of
friends out here want to hear your voice
in Senate on our behalf. 'Watchful wait
ing a failure"
The dispatch that came to Senator Fall
from former Gov. Curry, was as follows:
AT an Indignation meeting here tonight
attended by 1000 people, with hundreds
unable to get into the building, a pre-
amble and resolution was unanimously
and enthusiastically adopted, copy of
which has been wired to the President

world. Feeling very bitter over the bru-
tai murder of BENTON. Letter explains
fully. and will be pleased TO supply any
additional information which you may
want. Please advise Catron (Senator
Falls colleaguel ana Ferguson (member
Of the House from New Mexico)."
After the Senate went into executive
session. Senator Fall made long speech,
reviewing conditions in Mexico, and
-criticising the policy of the administration
for its failure 30 extend protection 20
lives and property. The Senator declared
that things could not go on much longer
as they are.
There was = general discussion of the
situation. Senator ShiVeiy urged that no
action be taken for the present, and sIg-
SeSted that the press reports might not
BE- accurate, and that IT would be wise
for the Senate 70 await confirmation
through regular official channels, before
taking any action which might turn out

New York, Feb. H.-Gen. Felix Diaz.

The fugitive declared he had no in

power in Mexico. Friends who accom-

he feared the hostility of the Huertistac.

The general said the report that Will

Mexico, had been executed by Villa was
hard to believe.
Until Diaz resigned a few months ag".
he was a brigadier-general in the Mexican
army. On the night OF October %, 1913.
he fed from his hotel in Vera Cruz and
took refuge on a United States warship.
A few days later he sailed for Havana.
There couple OF Mexicans fired shots
at him while he was listening TO a band
in an amusement park.
There was no delegation to meet him
when he landed. A hfteen-year-old boy,
son of a. Miranda, a relative of Mrs.
Diaz. took him in charge. and as soon
as the custom officers had passed his
baggage he and his wife went to Mr..

4 goiian race which inhabits Japan and
i China
1 Some years ago the late Mikado sent
telegram to Porfirio Diaz. in which
the Emperor of Japan greeted the
President OF the Mexican republic as
the head OF state which was Japan's
brother. because 1t was peopled by the
same race.
| 1t would. of course. be absurd to take
| these Japanese ideas and theories too
tragically. Japan just now has too
many other matters tand she will have
them for some time YETI to think
| about. and her vague American as
pirations might create dangers for
| some Of the lesser states on the Pa
cific Coast. But, while these budding
ideas need not be taken too tragically.
1t might be imprudent not to consid-
er them, and especially in the United
States. which now is involved In such
curious difficulties with Mexico.
When q revolution breaks out in a
neighboring country there are thres
policies between which a state can
choose. Either resolute armed inter-
vention, to re-establish order quickly;
strict neutrality, which leaves the hos
tile forces to fight out their battle
alone, or masked Intervention, by CIV
ing indirect support to one of the two
parties at war-and usually to the
weaker one.
All these three policies have their draw
backs and their advantages. But II is
certain that the greatest drawbacks and
the least Advantages are to be found In
the third policy, that OF indirect inter-
vention, to which the United States are
now committed.
ProIongs the Strife.
A policy OF this kind leads to the pro-
longation instead Of the shortening of the
conflict. So, II things go on as they have
begun, one may foresee that the relations
between the United States and Mexico
will for a time be very uncertain and
unpleasant. This revolution will leave
behind 1t a long trail OF hatred, distrusts,
and fears.
Rightly or wrongly, the North Ameri-
can peril will grow in the imagination
of the Mexican nation. On the other
hand Japan, though for the moment she
may not think of interfering in American
affairs, never has abandoned its idea OF
opening wide the California gates to its
emigrants.
believe the American people would do
well not to regard the Mexican problem
too much rs if 1t were isolated and in
rejecting on what may occur in Mexico
not to forget Japan too much. On the
maps the two States are quite remote.
one from the other. But they may some
day find themselves closer on the planc
of their interests. The Mexican crisis
may some dav have strange indirect con
sequences in the Far East.
The practical conclusion that one
reaches after all these conditions IS
sufficiently clear. In order to prevent the
Mexicans from feeling their newly-dis-
covered clinical relationship to the Jap
anese the United States should try to
make them realize their American
brotherhood.
In other words the United States should
endeavor in their policy to put an end
as quickly as possible to the crisis in the
reighboring republic. while avoiding as
much as possible material damage and
sparing the self respect OF the Mexican
people.

Rome, Feb. a.-Some days ago all the

about one month before that the news

Few people-in Europe, at all events

grams. 1 do not know whether they
stirred public opinion more In America.
Yet though the indifference Of the public
might be explained, it could not on that
