THE Senator is Irish." continued Mr..

Won DIEDERICHS, MAD,
WILL ANSWER DEWEY
Decides to Break Fifteen Years ST.
lence and Make Open Reply
to Assertions.
GOVERNMENT SANCTIONS PLAN

Special CABLE to The Washington Herald
Berlin, Feb. 2o.-Angered at what he
considers biased and unfair attack on
his professional record. Admiral Won
Diederichs has decided to break the
silence he has maintained for fifteen years
and make an open reply to Admiral
Dewcy's assertions.
The statement he is preparing will be
detailed and will cover every point in
Dewey's narrative, including both the al
legged violations of neutrality and the per-
sonal clashes between the heads of the
German and American fleets II will be
made public at the earliest possible mo-
ment. probably in a few days.
Although published as a personal state
ment, IL will have a decidedly official
character and authority, for il will be
submitted before publication to the I'm
perial Admiralty. to the head OF the
Kaiser's naval cabinet, Admiral Won
Mueller and, presumably, to the Kaiser
personally. A rough draft Of the docu-
ment already has been sent to the foreign
office for criticism and possible revision.
The reasons prompting the admiral to
come out in public defense were made
known today when the imperial naval Of
hcers admitted that q reply from his
pen was in preparation.
At the time the Dewey publications first
came to the attention of the imperial
government there was long consultation
in high quarters, IL is understood, as to
the ACCESSIBILITY Of taking official action,
either in the form of an open state
ment from the admiralty. or through in
formal and friendly, but explicit, repre-
sensations to Washington. 1t finally was
decided that the best way to get an
authentic German version of the Manila
episode before the American public, and
at the same time demonstrate Germany's
wish not to let an old historical dis
pute cloud its cordial relations with the
United States. was TO allow a reply 10
come from Won Diederichs personally.
Admiral Dewey declined last night to
reply to the attack made upon him yes

written criticism of the German fleet dur
ing the Spanish-American war

Report in London Now.

London. Feb. eO.-RepoTts that former
King Manuel and his wife. Princess
Augusta Victoria, of HohenzolIern. will
separate, were revived in court circles
today following rumors that the princess
is under the care of physicians again.
For several months the young couple
have been residing at Twickenham, and
"back-stairs gossip has spread the idea
there was little harmony in the home OF
the deposed ruler OF Portugal.
According to the rumors only the per-
sOnal influence of the Emperor and
Empress of Germany succeeding in pre-
venting an open break between Manuel
and his bride. 1t is said they advised
the princess at that time to overlook the
miSdeeds of her husband for a time and
that ultimately II she found it impossible
to live with him they would interpose no
objection to a separation.
This promise, it is said, was the only
condition on which the princess would
consent to come to England with Manuel.
And now the temporary pact seems to
have had but a short life.

The news that a British subject had
been executed in Mexico has created a
painful impression here. The London
papers dwell upon Villas sinister record
as brigand and publish details Of his

Everard X. Callthorpc, a personal
friend, who has visited Benton in Mexico.
said:
Benton was a fine specimen of n man.
He was the last man to be in any way

pure wantoness. 1t is perfectly absurd
that President Wilson should have recog-
nized Villa, who seems 10 be shooting
every decent man he can"
The Daily Mail, which prints the above
statement, adds:
Wilson has not as Callthrope says,
recognized Villa. but he has winked at
the importation from the United States
Of arms for the rebels"
The foreign Office, at 2 late hour to-
night. declared IL was without official in
formation. Until the shooting is con-
firmed. the officials will take no action.
ana in any event they will await the
result of the investigation which Sir

Test Case.
MILLIONS IN QUESTION.
Petroleum Tracts Worth $7OO,OOO,-
600 Held to Belong to Pacific
Interests.

Washington, June 22.-Title of
transcontinental railroads to some
$7OO,0O0,000 worth of petroleum
land, as against other private claim
ants, was upheld today by the su-
preme court in test suit brought by
Edmund Burke Of California against
the Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany. At the same time Justice Van
deventer, for the court, stated that
seemingly the governments right to
attack the railroads title for fraud
or error had expired in 1910 or 1901.
II was made plain, however that the
governments rights were not involv-
ed in the case before the court, and
there was no mention of the recent
suit brought by the government
against the Southern Pacific TO re-
gain the lands in question
Government officiais after the de-
cision said they would press the suit.
Since the government began to
grant lands to transcontinental rail-
roads in 1866, every patent issued
to the roads has contained a reserva-
tion OF exception to the effect that
lands in the patent later found to be
mineral lands should not pass to the
railroads. Such Reservation was
contained in patents issued to the
Southern Pacific for California lands.
In later years found TO Re rich witt
Oil. Burke claimed the land did not
pass to the railroad and sought TO
enter 1t as mineral land.
The court held that the land Of
fee officials could not perform theft
duty, imposed on them by Congress,
OF not patenting mineral lands, By
merely inserting the reservation or
exception. 1t held the officials were
bound to determine whether the
lands were mineral before issuing
the patent, and that the patents were
binding unless procured by fraud or
error. Justice Vardeventer states
that the patents were issued IN l2q
and apparently tho Government h.c
not proceeded to set I'd any claim o.
fraud in obtaining them before The
time, although the railroads had pre-
sented an affidavit that the lands
were non-mineral. Therefore. lie
added, seemingly the right to make
the attack had expired in 1900 Or
1901.
