That editorial, which it Is stated gives the facts In the ease, in part 1 as follows: MOn May VW Admiral Dewey tacked and destroyed the Spanish fleet. At that time there were a large number German merchants in business In the City of Mantis. Thera was a great deal confusion there, and thei merchants were naturally apprehensive as to thslr lives and property. Prince Henry of Prussia was at Hongkong, and a delegation went to him and urged that soma German vessels should be sent to the Philippines to safeguard the German there.

This request Prince Henry cabled at oaca-to Berlin. Why Germany AeteeV At that moment, and Indeed for many months after, there was no popular sen. Ument In the United States in favor of permanently holding the Philippines or making them colonial possessions of this Country! Indoed, one who had full au thority to speak for the American Gov rnmeot assured the authorities at Berlin that the war must not be construed into a contest for territorial aggrandise ment, and asked why Germany would not take the This waa taken as an official communication. Ha also communicated this suggestion to the Stats Department at Washington, where It was not favorably received. The German Government waa not Informed aa to the feeling at Washington, and for the -moment accepted the suggestion aa ex presalve ot the American point ot view, They wera very uncertain, however, as to their desires In the matter.

The German merchants at Manila wera very urgent that the United States should aasuma and maintain sovereignty in the islands, and Berlin authorities rather favored this Diederichs Didn't Understand. It was with the suggestion from this American authority before them that on May 11 Admiral Dledericha was. instructed to go from Hongkong to Manila. The English sent a Ilk fleet under Capt. Sir Edward Chichester.

Admiral Dewey knew nothing ot what had been going on at Berlin. Admiral Diederichs hail lutan 'led to beUeve that the United States did not want the Philippines, and would be very glad indeed it Germany would take them off her hands. These two different points of view Inevitably found expres sion in the actions of tha two Admirala. "If Diederichs seemed at all officious Justification lies In the fact that his Government had, through no fault of its own. been misled.
