Show CHICHESTER AND DEWEY. Whether the late Sir Edward Chichester, when in command of a British squadron in Manila bay In 1S98, showed a particular de- free of friendship for tha United States and ts representative, George Dewey, or acted strictly according to tha requirements of naval na-val etiquette in his intercourse with tha commander of tha German squadron present in the bay, will make no difference with tha regard in which his memory will be held in America. That Chichester told Von Died-richs Died-richs to ask Dewey where England's thipa would be in ease of trouble between tha United Uni-ted States and Germany will never be doubted doubt-ed in thia country. Xo denial or explanation of thia story can overtake and displace it, and it haa given to the man of whom it is told a place in popular affection anrh as no other Britieh naval officer haa.
