Secretary Hay in- formed him that it was obviously impos- sible to do anything in the matter as long as the identity of the officer was not disclosed. Admiral 'Dewey himself said to-day that the interview in which he was quoted was ‘“substantially correct.” He added: “I| See no reason why it should create any particular excitement. | s; were the best In the world, I merel, stance for comparison. That is true. took as an in- | % » hostlle criti- | cism of Germany was intended.” As a rule the Navy Department does not encourage officers to talk for publica- | tion on international que but th; views of Admiral Dewey are held in such gh respect that the restriction has never | 1\ made applicable to him. The 1\':\\_\" Department regards the matter as one | which it would not feel called upon to notice officially unless it should assume an international aspect, which is not con- sigered likely. In the White House it was | suld the President had not felt called upon | tc give any official consideration to the interview. Admiral Dewey's statement in regard to the maneuvers being an ‘‘object lcs-! son” to the Kaiser is a mild expression | of the unexpressed feeling existing wher- ever in Washington the inside history of the crisis of the Venezuelan incident is kuown. When the Venezuelan situation became very warm in December the combined fleets under command of Ad- miral Dewey were mobilized at Culebra, Puerto Rico. It had been planned to dis- perse the squadron on December 9 to va- rious' points in the Carribean in order to give the bluejackets shore leave at Christ- tions, the flcet was made with an eye to placing tilem where they would be most quickly ot service should the United States de- cide to send a ship into Venezuelan wa- ters. When the situation became even more acute early in January Admiral Dewey 1eceved from Washington orders which caused him and the officers of his staff to prepare to steam directly Into Venez- velar. waters. For two days Admiral Dewey momentarily exXpected orders | which would possibly have meant a clash with the allied fleets then blockading the Venezuelan coast. These orders were never issued, but it was because the sit- vation peaceably adjusted itself.
