AMERICA AND GERMANY.
A COMPARISON OF NAVIES..
ADMIRAL DEWEY'S CONFIDENCE. United Press Association—By Eleotrio Telegraph—Copyright. (Received March 29th. 5.10 p.m.) NEW YORK, March 28. Admiral Dewey, in the course of an interview, said the United States Navy was the greatest in the world, because all connected with it were men of intelligence, and knew what to do at the right time. The German Navy was an entirely different organisation of human material; its efficiency was greatly over-estimated. The , , men could not compare in education and intelligence with the Americans; they looked to and depended on their officers for ypecifio instructions in the smallest matter. The American manoeuvres in the C.uribean Wea lvid been the greatest object lesson the world had seen, and a lesson, i-.spc-dally to tlie Kaieer. The American fleet consisted of fifty-four warships, including coliiew, and it was impossible in all Germany to bring a fleet able to fight such an aggregation. The authorities at Washington have not taken official notice of Admiral Dewey'e remarks, but they expect protests from Berlin.
