From all sides I hear kind words for Admiral Dewey. Ihave talked with Bri-fishers, Germans, Frenchmen, Japanese, and Switzers, without exception they speak in the highest terms of him and his management of the blockade. The cordial relations. between the Britishers and. the Americans is most marked,-although nothing is being done in violation of neutrality. Every British Captain in the port swears by the Admiral. and friendly calls are exchanged every day by the officers. If the British and American naval vessels were nearer together instead of seven miles apart, the same good fellowship would exist among their officers. The Germans are ing round under the influence of the Admiral's tact and firmness, and giving less cause for observations on their intentions and methods, while the French and Japanese are very quiet.
