He stated that he came to this

VERSION OF ANOTHER
GERMAN ADMIRAL

Berlin, March 4.-Rear Admiral
Drussakis, a retired officer of the Ger
man navy, who commanded the Ger
man cruiser Cormorant at the time
of the Sponish American War, today
added his version of the Manila bay
incident over which a controversy has
been aroused by the publication of
Admiral Dewey's autobiography.
Writing to the Tages Zeitung an ac-
count of the arrival of the cruiser Cor
morant at Manila bay, May 8, 1898, the
German naval officer says that the
Mccullough fired blank shot in or
der to attract the attention of the
cruiser. The Cormorant halted and
later an American officer came on
BOARD and communicated to her COM
mander that a blockade of Manila
had been instituted by the American
fleet. Admiral Brussakis consider that
the firing of the blank shot was prop
er signal and the only one under the
circumstances.
This statement confirms Admiral
Dewey's version of the incident and
disproves the assertion made by Vice
fAdkt4AA al Oi I14tN;@I itliS, tiiC ioiihlH 3
officer of the German fleet, that the
blockade had not been communicated
to the Germans.
Count Ernest Won Revontlow, a
well-known naval expert, confusing
the foregoing episode with the one
which happened six weeks later and
narrated by Admiral Dewey, accuses
the American admiral of drawing up
on his imagination for his story in
defiance of the truth.

in the presence of Col. Goethals why he
he had asked him to become police COM

Rises About 3 Ft.

A rainfall of pa inches, confined
chiefly to this section, and the rising
of the Sandy river caused by rain and

the depth of the Kennebec river about
three feet. Ice, which has been going

lieved that, for the present at least,
the river has risen as high as it will.
