Opinion in New York is Former
Police Lieutenant Will
Not be Tried.

New York, Feb. 25.-Opinion was
expressed today by attorneys and
friends of Charles Becker, who has
been granted a new trial, that he
would never again be tried as the in
stigator of the murder of Rosenthai,

talk if he goes free he viii seek re-
instatement on the police force.
Although District Attorney Whitman
refused to say what action he will take,
it is known he believes the record OF
the trial would be futile in the face of
the court of appeals decision, which
in effect stamps one Sam Schepps, one
of the principal witnesses for the
state, as an accomplice in the murder
plot.
Whitman may seek an indictment
of Becker on charges of extortion and
bribery in the event he decides not to

Won DIEDERICHS
ANSWERS DEWEY
German Vice Admiral Explains
His Side of Incident in
Manila Bay.

Baden Baden, Germany, Feb. 25.-
The controversy over the friction be-
tween the American and German
admirals in Manila bay at the time OF
the Spanish-American war, which has
been revived by the narrative of Ad-
miral Dewey, recently published, was
made the subject of statement yes
terday by Vice Admiral Won Dieder-
ichs, commander of the German war
ships.
The German admiral took issue with
the statements made by Admiral
Dewey in his autobiography and said he
felt himself forced to give his side of
the case out of consideration for the
honor of his country and his officers.
Admiral Won Diederichs attributed
the troubles between the Germans and
the Americans largely to malicious re-
ports in the English papers in China
and the absence of definite regulations
governing the blockade and the move
ments of foreign warships. He indi-
Gated. however, that a latent mistrust
was responsible in a measure.
He was desirous of cooperating with
and supporting Admiral Dewey from
the beginning, he said, but the Ameri-
can admirars fondness for Capt
Chichester, in command of the British
squadron, and the time Admiral Dewey
spent with the British officers kept
hom from seeing as much of Admiral
Dewey as he would have wished.
The foundation of the trouble was
laid with the arrival of the first Ger
man cruiser, the Irene. II was report
ed in Manila that the Irene's band
played the Spanish anthem when pass
ing the American Squadron, which
was interpreted to mean that the Ger
mans were coming to take the Spanish
side.
AS a matter OF fact, the admiral said, |
the band played the American anthem, /
but the erroneous version reached the |
American sailors and excited i'll feel !
ing.
The concentration of the German |
squadron in Manila bay, to which Ad- j
miral Dewey objects, was due, accord |
ing to Admiral Won Diedrichs, to a !
purely fortuitous chain of circum-
stances. He believed German inter- |
ests at Manila would be adequately |
protected by the small cruisers, Irene
and Cormoran. and planned to concen-
trate the rest of his squadron at
The emperor. however,
sent a cable message to him to pro-
ceed to Manila and assume personal |
charge.

er, was undergoing repairs at Nagas-
aki So Admiral Won Diererichs and

cruiser Kaiserin Augusta for Manila,
