Relations Grow More Friendly.

The relations between the German
and American admirals were afterward
more friendly. Finally. on July 81, the
text of the German-American agree
ment made in Washington reached him,
according to which the names of Ger
man warships must be communicated
through diplomatic channels before
their arrival in the blockaded harbor
Aftcrward IL was necessary to signal
only the name of the ship upon passing
the blockade.
In summing up the matter Admiral
Won Dicderichs says:
admiral Chichester expressed the
opinion that Admiral Dewey had been
made suspicious OF the Germans by out
side inhucnce-namely. Manila gossip
but more or less malicious reports com
Ing from the shore cannot explain an
incident like that described by Flag

clared that the showing of colors by
the vessels was inadequate, since the
display of false coors was common
ruse in war.
Correspondence Reproduced.
The correspondence between Admiral
Dewey. Admiral Won Diederichs and
Admiral Chichester. of the British Meet
is reproduced textually. on July H.
1898. the German admiral denied Al
miral Dewey's right OF visitation and
sent copies of his letter to all the for
eign commanders in order to ascertain
their views. According TO the German
commander, the French, Austrian, Jap
anese and British commanders shared
his opinion, although Admiral CHI
chester required some persuasion and
endeavored TO demonstrate that Ad-
miral Deweys pretensions were justi-
fed.
The letter of July II from Admiral
Won Diederichs TO Admiral Dewey,
which ends the correspondence, shows
that the two commanders were sub
stantially in accord in regard TO tie
procedure in connection with warships
arriving at Manila. The variance of
opinion was chiefly as to the interpre-
tation Of the word inquiries" which
the German admiral interpreted as an
investigation to establish the truth OF
the neutral commanders word. In his
letter Admiral Won Diederichs accepts
Admiral Dewey's disavowal Of the
claim to the right of visiting neutral
warships, and accepts his pretension Of
right TO enter into communication
with ships coming into Manila Bay.
This was to be done by signal, hailing
or the exchange Of visits, but not by
sending officers on board neutral war
ships.
Admiral Won Diederichs sent the
cruiser Kaiserin Augusta to meet the
Cormoran, which was expected TO reach
Manila and TO inform her Of the situa-
ton. The two vessels, according TO
letter from "A German petty officer.
came up the bay cleared for action, but
the Americans did not attempt to de-
mand their identification.
This incident, says Admiral Won
Dederichs, cleared him of the sus-
picion Of yielding a hairbreadth TO Adj
miral Dewey's demands. He had not,
he said, ordered the vessels to clear
for action.

Washington. Feb. 2s-When Admiral
Dewey's attention was called to-day 10
Admiral Won Diederichs's statement that
the former had threatened war with
Germany at Manila he refused to make
any comment further than TO assert that
all he wished to say in regard 10 his re-
lations with the German officer at Ma
Mia was contained in his autobiography
and that he did not desire to reopen the
controversy.

ceptional in the intercourse or repre-
sentatives of modern civilized nations.
Il repeatedly asked myself how such
ugly MISUNDERSTANDING could arise be-
tween the openly well intentioned Ad-
miral Dewey-who was always trying
TO moderate the rigors Of the blockade
for those ;nnocently suffering-and me,
who was always sincerely endeavorinS
IN meet all the wishes Of the COM
mander Of the blockading fleet up 10
the limit which the honor of the flag
sets. I can see only the following ex-
plantation:
The misguided public opinion OF
Manila repeatedly expressed with
Southern exaggeration unJustihaole
hope Of German assistance. and thereby
awakened wide suspicion of Germany's
intentions. Many newspapers, partic-
ularly the English ones, on the East
Chinese coast devoted themselves zeal
ously to nurturlng this suspicion.
Admiral Dewey, with an insufficient
force, was confronted with the double
task of holding down a defeated enemy
and preventing the rebels from attack
ing this enemy without attracting their
hostility. Under the pressure of heavy
responsibility his mistrust grew to
anxious jealousy when by a chain Of
unfortunate events several German
ships under an officer Of higher rank
than his own arrived in Manila.
Il regard 1t as certain from later
press reports and other sources that
malicious trouble makers famed this
suspicion, and 1t was even related that
Admiral Dewey had already worked out
plan for the destruction of the Ger
man ships"

THIRD TENSEST MINUTE IN SPORTS WAS
OUIMET'S VICTORY
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON.

America seemed OVerthrOWn, beat
en-. The greatest golfers of the United
States had fallen before the magnif-
cent play of Vardon and Ray, the
English professionals, and on the aft
ernoon of Sept. 10, 1918, hope seem
ed dead. Vardon and Ray had swept
the field on the final eighteen holes
of the greatest tournament known in
America and had finished their play
tied, with their scores 304 strokes
each.
Gathered around the eighteenth
green in front of the clubhouse lawn
at Brookline, Mass, were five thou
sand rather downcast followers of the
game, lamenting politely the
throw of their favoTites by the two
wonderful English golfers who stood
already receiving the congratulations
of friends. In the clubhouse the wag-
ering was lively as to whether Vardon
o. Ray would win the play-of of their
tie on the following day.
A counting of score showed that,
unless one of the half-dozen golfers
who were on their fourth eighteenth
hole round performed a miracle, Var
don's and Rays 3O4 total could not
be eclipsed.
Suddenly one came running from
far across the green's bearing tidings.
A buzz of excitement and renewed
hope a through the crowd. The
Englishmen listened tolerantly.
The word was, that Francis Oui-
met, a ~high-schooI boy of BrookIine,
only nineteen years old, vas coming
homeWard over the last nine holes,
playing the most astounding golf of
the tourney. A three, a two, a four, he
was cutting down his score by beat
ing par and playing m~arVeIousIy. The
word came from the fifteenth tee that
Ouimet had reached there with a total
score of 290 and that if he could make
the last four holes in one below par
he could tie Vardon and Ray.

boy raced the S7O-yaTd fifteenth cool
ly, a drive, a perfect approach, a mo-
ment of tense anxiety and he hOled a
long putt and took the hole in three.
The news from that green stirred
the crowd again. Men and women
poured from the clubhouse and lawn
20 bank around the final green. The
sixteenth is short, 125 yards, but tick
list, and Ouimet, driving the edge of
the green, rolled his approach dead
and hOled out in three. The seven
teenth is $50 yards. He drove perfect
ly, Clipped an approach shot onto the
green, took two perfect putts-and
the crowd at the clubhouse lawn
surged forward.
Ouimet, Americas last hope, was
41O yards away, with a chance to
equal the record of the two greatest
of English golfers-he a schoolboy
and an amateur. He turned and
laughed as he stepped upon the tee,
laughed gleefully as a boy at play
at the sight of strained, anxious faces
around him. He stepped forward. adj
dressed his ball an instant and with a

far-a perfect drive and straight as
a bee flies the ball came toward the
horseshoe of excited persons.
AS he came leading the line of the
gallery, Ouimet exchanged a laugh
ing sally with his caddy and, choosing
his iron, he shipped the head of a
dandelion as he walked. He Clipped
the ball true and high, clearing the
pit and guardian mound and lay 35
feet from the cup.
Never in golfng history has such a
situation arisen. The open champion
ship depended upon the next shot. If
Ouimet could make that putt he was
king of the worlds golfers, conqueror
of the greatest the world could send.
Yet, smiling, he turned and nodded
to a little woman, his mother, who
was following him over all the course.
