Is Considering an Offer to

N. Y. GIANTS PITCHER
STILL UNSIGNED
Will Not Decide on Course
Until He Sees
McGraw

Los Angeles, CAL, Feb. 26.--"I have re
ceived the Federals' offer and ] will give
it careful and serious consideration,
Christy Mathewson said on the eve o.
his departure for Marlin Springs, in re
gard to the proposition made him tt
manage the Brooklyn Federal league
team at his own terms.
at is not only the salary. There are
number Of other considerations which
enter into the matter" he said. Il will
think the matter over carefully before
deciding"
Before signing contract with the
Giants or accepting the proposition OF
President Gilmore, Matty said that he
would talk the matter over with John
McGraw, the manager of the Giants, OF
some representative of his.
Mathewson was planning to leave yes
terday for the Giants spring training
camp, where he expected to meet Me-
Graw or some other official of the club
"Some people have the report that !
have already signed my contract with
New York." said Mathewson. Il have
not, and | am considering the offer of
the Federal league. shall decide on
neither proposition until | see McGraw
or someone else in authority"
Mathewson said that, beyond mailing
him contract, as required by National
league laws, the Giants so far had not
communicated with him, nor had any
of the league officials. He is, therefore,
a "free agent" and at liberty to bar
gain with the Federal league, or to play
Gilmore's proposition for better terms
from New York, he said.

Diedrichs Admits Germans
Were Ready to Shoot
at Manila
ADMITS ENMITY
TO AMERICANS
Refused to Allow Any In
quiry by Admiral
Dewey

| BadeH- Baden, Germany, Feb. 26.--Ad-
mirai Won Diederichs himself admits he
informed the British naval commander
| in Manila bay at the time of the Span
| American war that he would shoot
any American officer who attempted to
board a German warship ''to make in
quiry and establish her identity" in
carrying out the orders OF Admiral
Dewey.
This admission was made yesterday
in the course Of further narrative of
events given to the Associated Press.
The tense situation between Admiral
Dewey and the German admiral arose
over the visiting between the vessels of
the various powers which, according to
Admiral Diederichs, was quite promis-
cuous. He admitted there was GER
tain justice in Admiral Dewey's com
plant as to the German ships being con-
stantly on the move, although this was
necessary and in no way meant to be
unfriendly.
The bulk of the German squadron was
about to be withdrawn, said the Ger
man commander, when the conflict arose
over the right of visitation, and he then
decided to retain his whole force there.
The German admiral felt that Admiral
Dewey's action was decidedly unfriend-
". He sent his flag Lieutenant, Won
the action of the Mccullough in hating
the German cruiser Irene in order to
learn her identity. This, said the Ger
man admiral, was the incident incorrect
ly attributed to the Comoran by Admiral
Dewey.
The American admiral retaliated with
an announcement that no ship, CONNER
eial or naval, would be allowed to pass
his lines. He then announced his inten-
tion of sending an officer on board every
warship arriving in the bay ito make
inquiry and to establish her identity"
The word inquiry" apparently
aroused the ire of the German admiral,
who identified it even to-day with n
claim to the right to cross-examine any
German commander.
Admiral Won Diederichs says he dis
cussed the situation with the British
commander and told him that he would
shoot any officer attempting to carry
out this order of Admiral Dewey.
A substantial victory for the Ger

self to the American commander and
afterward be required only to show its
flag.
According to Admiral Won Diederichs,
his call on the Spanish authorities was
justified by the fact that no blockade
had been formally provlaimed.
Before leaving Manila Admiral Won
Diederichs and Admiral Dewey ex-
changed presents and cordial letters,
burying the Ratchet and blaming the
for the friction.
Admiral Won Diederichs said he had
hoped the affair had been forgotten, and
Admiral Dewey's action in reviying the
in an erroneous statement
was matter of surprise and regret to
him.

PURE BLOOD MAKES
HEALTHY PEOPLE
Hoods Sarsaparilla, Old-Time Remedy,
Makes Pure Blood

Hoods Sarsaparilla surely and eifec-
lively removes scrofula, boils and other
blood diseases, because it drives out OF
the blood all the humors that cause
these diseases. They cannot be success
fully treated in any other way. The
use of external applications for their re-
moval has been proven to be almost
useless, because they cannot drive out
the impurities that are in the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure rich
blood, perfects the digestion, and builds
up the whole system. The skin becomes
smooth, clean and healthy. This great
blood remedy has stood the test of forty
years. Insist on Hoods, for nothing else
acts like it. Get it from your druggist
to-day.-Advt.

OUR COUNTBE'S SAFE.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
European war news has the premier
position on the first page Of New York
papers, much space is now given to
the recovery Of business and detailed
reports of industrial and commercial
activity.
This country's rapidly increasing
export business is stimulating every
branch of trade; every department Of
industry. Even cotton viii eventually
be benefited by it, Not in long years
has there been such a sudden turn in
the tide of business as is in evidence
at this time In New York bankers,
manufacturers and merchants are not
only talking optimistically, but they
are acting as if they believed that
prosperity was coming in full swing.
The practical demonstration Of i'm
proving business conditions in New
York means great deal for the coun-
try at large. New York was pessi-
mistic when all sections of the United
States outside Of the east were in
clined to be optimistic. But now that
optimism is the prevailing note in
New York, the whole country feels
heartened, and will respond accord
ingly.
Not since the European war began
have business interests in this country
been so buoyant as now, and little
imagination is required in forecasting
exceptional prosperity in tbs country
durng, the next few months. Com
mercial agencies reports from the
west are roseate. The grain growing
states are now enjoying a high de-
gree of prosperity. The south will
) participate in this general improve
ment in the business world It may
be some months before the farmers
can sell their cotton at a price thar
will cover the cost OF production. The
price of cotton is low and farmers
must not be deceived into thinking
that they can realize a high price il
< the near future, but the general pros
perity based on. Europe's demand fol
American commodities will be felt in.
: directly by the cotton grower, and ul
timately the benefit will be very sub
stantial
r The war caused a serious disloca
d ton of business routine in this coun
: try. Had recovery been postponed
] until next spring cotton would hav,
S dropped no telling how low. But tn
e pronounced feeling of business bet
:. terment in New York should have tn
e effect Of checking further decline i
the south's staple.
