Problems with Germans; in this presentation I like to address a few paragraphs in his book and copy them here. I attained the author’s permission. We presented this before but I like to upload them again from the new 4th edition.
Za162. Paragraph from Gerald Anderson’s book: Subic Bay - From Magellan to Mt. Pinatubo.
This is one of three paragraphs from Gerald Anderson’s book: Subic Bay - From Magellan to Mt. Pinatubo. It deals with the Problem of the American Navy had with the Imperial German Navy at Subic Bay in 1898.
Za163. Paragraph from Gerald Anderson’s book: Subic Bay - From Magellan to Mt. Pinatubo.
This is the second of three paragraphs from Gerald Anderson’s book: Subic Bay - From Magellan to Mt. Pinatubo. It deals with the Problem of the American Navy had with the Imperial German Navy at Subic Bay in 1898.
Za164. Paragraph from Gerald Anderson’s book: Subic Bay - From Magellan to Mt. Pinatubo.
This is the third of three paragraphs from Gerald Anderson’s book: Subic Bay - From Magellan to Mt. Pinatubo. It deals with the Problem of the American Navy had with the Imperial German Navy at Subic Bay in 1898.
Note from Karl: That the SMS Irene fled and slipped her anchors is a little hard to believe!
Za165. SMS Irene stopped by shot across the bow.
This news paper headline (The Call News Paper) is also from the book Subic Bay - From Magellan to Mt. Pinatubo. It is probably a good example how the US Press felt about the Germans at this time.
Za166. SMS Irene, German Navy Ship.

This paragraph is copied from the above Wikipedia URL:
During the Spanish–American War in 1898, Irene steamed to Manila in the Philippines in the aftermath of the Battle of Manila Bay; she arrived in the harbor on 6 May. By 27 June, Irene had been joined by several other German warships, including Kaiserin Augusta, Diederichs's flagship. On the 27th, Irene was steaming into Manila Bay when she was stopped by the American revenue cutter Hugh McCulloch. On 5 July, Diederichs dispatched Irene to survey Subic Bay and to evacuate any German nationals in the area that were threatened by Filipino insurgents. While steaming off Isla Grande, Irene encountered the rebel ship Companie de Filipinas, which was threatening the Spanish garrison at Isla Grande. The rebel commander came aboard Irene to inform her captain of his activities; Obenheimer informed him that any act of war committed under the rebel flag was an act of piracy under international law. The rebels therefore agreed to return to port. Obenheimer inspected both the Spanish garrison on the island and the nearby rebel base in Olongapo. After unsuccessfully searching for German nationals in the area, Irene evacuated the noncombatants on Isla Grande on 7 July; while steaming out of Subic Bay, Irene encountered the American warships Raleigh and Concord without issue.
The American press exaggerated the encounter between Irene and the American ships, which prompted Diederichs to decide to send Irene away from the area to deflate tensions between the two countries. After returning to Manila and debarking the non-combatants, Irene was ordered to depart the Philippines. Irene relieved Arcona in Kiaochou, which was in turn ordered to steam to the Caroline and Mariana Islands to observe the American capture of Guam. Irene coaled in Marivels before departing for Kiaochou on 9 July. While in Kiaochou, Irene conducted crew training. She returned to Manila in November, but remained there only briefly, before she was replaced by Kaiserin Augusta.Irene returned to Germany after 1901; in 1903 she went into drydock at the Imperial Shipyard in Wilhelmshaven for modernization, which was completed by 1905. She was stricken on 17 February 1914 and used as a submarine tender, based in Kiel. In 1916, she was transferred to Wilhelmshaven. She remained there until 26 November 1921, when she was sold for scrapping for 909,000 Marks. She was broken up the following year in Wilhelmshaven.
