BRITISH CONSUL AT WORK
Personally investigating the Killing

El Paso, Tex, March 2.-Charles
Arthur Perceval. the British consul at
Galveston, who was sent here to in
vestigate the death of William S. Ben
ton, quietly continued his inquiry
without seeking the assistance OF
American c0isu!2r agents.
So far the British consul's activi-

However, George C. Crothers, repre-
sentative of the state department at
Washington, and Thomas Edwards
American consul at JuareZ. held them
selves in readiness to assist Mr.. Per

General Hugh l.. Scott, commander

KaiSer'S Admiral Replies to

AMERICAN VERY ANGRY

German Naval Officer Gives His Yer
sion of Exciting Events at Manila
Bay During the Spanish-Ameriean
War of Sixteen Years Ago.
Berlin, March admiral Won Died
erichs replied in print to the state

garding the exciting incidents be-
tween the American and German
naval commanders in Manila bay dur
ing the Spanish-American war.
The reply is published in the Off
cial Marine Rundschau and is spread
over 1000 words.
1t contains the report of the visit
made to Admiral Dewey on July 10,
1898, by the then flag lieutenant, Won
Hintz, who is now German minister
to Mexico. 1t is evident from this
report that Admiral Dewey threaten
ed the Germans with war if they did
not cease their interference with the
blockade regulations and If they re-
fused to permit the Americans to
make the inquiries necessary to es-
tablish the identity of neutral war
ships. Won Diederichs says:
Admiral Dewey gradually talked
himself into passion. He said:
Why, | shall stop every vessel, what
ever may be her colors. And If she
does not stop | shall fire at her. And
When the phrase if Germany wants
war; etc, occurred again | took my

Washington, March 2.-Recall OF
federal judges and judicial decisions
was denounced by former President
Taft before the house judiciary COM

Life tenure of the judiciary was
praised by the ex-president. He de-
clared against election of judges, but
held that impeachment Investigations
of congress serve a valuable purpose.
The former president was given a
cordial reception by both Democrats
and Republicans. He "joshed" many
