German Ships Ordered to Leave Manila Waters
Washington reports say Germany ordered all naval vessels from Philippine waters to avoid a clash with the United States. The move, seen as a diplomatic master stroke, places German citizens and property under U.S. protection while signaling Germany’s desire to maintain friendly ties. Rumors of German aggression were quelled as Manila dispatches confirmed no incident with Admiral Dewey. Germany may deploy ships to a new station on the Chinese coast, possibly Tianjin, to handle incidents with German nationals. The United States accepted responsibility for protecting Germans in the Philippines, reducing the risk of sensational clashes and preserving neutral relations.
