DEWEY AT MANILA.
How England Prevented Trouble


earl Grey in House of Lords, reported
by Associated Press.)
In 1905 / had the honor of meeting
Admiral Dewey and some distinguished
members of the American senate at din
ner in Washington. On that occasion
Admiral Dewey narrated to me, in a
voice and with gestures eloquently sug-
gestive of the most grateful emotion,
the story-at that time entirely new to
me, and perhaps new to some members
of your lordship's house today--of the
way in which he had received invalu-
able assistance from Captain Chiches-
ter at Manila at a time of great anx-
iety. Admiral Dewey Informed me
that the presence at Manila of Ger
man cruisers with a heavier displace-
ment than that of the American ships
caused him to realize the grave charac-
ter of the danger menacing his coun-
| try in the event of the German ships
| beginning the hostile action, of which
he at the time had reason TO be appre.
| hensive. He described how the whole
American fleet watched in silent anx
iety the visit of the German admiral &c
Captain Chichester s ship and the in
tense relief with which they saw, short
ly after the German admiral g return
to his own ship, his majesty's ships un
der Captain Chichester S command hois
their ANCHORS and shift their anchor
age to position which placed them il
the direct line of fire between the Ger
man and the American ships. No &C
ton has ever done more to promote thu
friendly feelings of one nation to an
other than that action of Captain Chi
chester, which / believe to have bcei
absolutely spontaneous on his part an,
which action is well known to ever,
