Tht io>, ale of Manila Bay "When yon % re ready, you may fire, Gridley." With these words, cool and unimpassioned as a morning greeting, Commodore George Dewey opened the battle of Manila Bay, the most famous naval conflict since Trafalgar. The battle was fought on the morning of May i 1898. It made Commodore Dewey an Admiral. It raised the stand- ard of the American Navy to the first rank. It was the beginning of the end of Spain's naval power. It altered national policies as it changed geographies, and helped to transform the United States from an insular to a world power. The following account of the battle is abridged from the official reports made to the Naval Department. When it was announced that war had been declared between the United States and Spain, the Pacific Squadron, under command of Commodore George Dewey, was in the harbor of Hong Kong. Repairs were being made on some of the vessels, and stores were being shipped in anticipation of the campaign, which every far-seeing naval officer believed must result from the strained relations between the two countries. War was practically declared on April 21. The British Government, under her declaration of neutrality, ordered the American Commander to take his squadon out of Hong Kong harbor within twenty-four hours. On April 22, Commodore Dewey, with his flagship, the Olympia, the cruisers Raleigh, Boston, Baltimore, Concord, and Petrel, and the revenue cutter McCulloch, steamed out for Mirs Bay. Two days were spent in preparing the vessels for immediate action and painting them the dark-gray of war. Then the voyage to the Philippines began. Early in the morning of April 30, the squadron arrived off Bolinao, where Commodore Dewey expected to find some of the vessels of the enemy's fleet. No ships of war were in sight, and the squadron proceeded without delay to the entrance of Manila Bay, which was reached in the afternoon of the same day. After a fruitless reconnoisance of the Port of Subig, by the Boston and the Concord, the American Commander determined that the object of his search was in closer proximity to the city. There was nothing to do but to go after it, even though it was currently reported that the bay was heavily mined. Just before midnight the squadron steamed through the south channel at a speed of eight knots without interference, except for a harmless cannonade from a Spanish battery on Corregidor Island, on the south side of the channel. The Boston and McCulloch returned the fire with but little damage to the enemy. Proceeding slowly, the squadron moved on through the channel and arrived off Manila at daybreak. Almost at once the land-batteries in front of the city and two at Cavite opened fire, while the Spanish fleet which lay at anchor in a long line in front of the latter, threw a number of shots at the American vessels. The challenge was promptly taken up by the American Commander. A signal was displayed from the Olympia ordering the squadron into action. With the flagship leading, and the Baltimore, Raleigh, Petrel, Concord, Boston, and McCulloch following in the order named, the American squadron moved in toward the Spanish fleet, from which at 19 minutes to six o'clock, according to Commodore Dewey's report, the first American shot was fired. The American squadron was then moving along in a line approximately parallel to the Spanish line, and from 3,000 to 5,000 yards distant. The American fire was as destructive as- it was continuous. The Spanish ships and the land batteries poured forth a vigorous, but ineffective fire. No reply was made to the batteries, the Americans devoting their entire attention to the ships. Having completed the primary evolution, Commodore Dewey signalled for countermarch. Then the squadron, the Olympia again in the van, swept back past the Spaniards thundering their broadsides of shot and shell, with terrible execution, into the doomed fleet. The enemy fought with the reckless vigor of desperation, but did little damage. The second evolution was completed at 7.35 o'clock. Then Commodore Dewey hoisted the signal "Cease firing," and withdrew to give his men a breathing spell and replenish his magazines. As Commodore Dewey put it, " to give the men their breakfast." But two incidents of especial character marked the first attack, and both showed the valor of the Spaniards. Shortly after the attack began, two launches, armed with torpedoes, made out from the fort with the evident intention of blowing up the Olympia. This divertisement was met by a hot concentration of the flagship's small 5 calibre fire upon the launches. One was sunk and the other so disabled that the men who manned it made for the beach to avoid a similar fate. The second was more formidable in its nature. At seven o'clock the Spanish flagship, the Reina Christina, was noticed leaving the line in front of Cavite and turning toward the American squadron with the evident purpose of engaging the Olympia at short range. The entire battery of the big flagship was turned on the Spaniard. Riddled with shot and shell, and on lire in a dozen places, she was driven back to seek shelter behind Cavite Point. She was in a sinking condition. In another hour the waters of Manila Bay had closed over her. After a wait of nearly four hours, the American squadron again headed for the Spanish fleet. The second attack began at i i .16 o'clock. The Spanish ships had suffered terribly. Many of them were in flames, and from all the fire was ineffectual and less frequent. At 12.30 o'clock the firing ceased, the land batteries had been silenced, and the Spanish ships were all sunk, burning, or deserted. With the enemy's ships rendered hors du combat, the squadron withrew from Cavite and anchored in front of Manila. The Petrel remained behind and completed the destruction of the small gunboats which had run in behind Cavite Point for protection. The Spanish lost the following vessels: Sunk — Reina Christina, Castella, Don Antonio de Ulloa. Burned — Don Juan de Austria, Isla de Luzon, Isla de Cuba, General Lezo Marques del Duero, El Correo Velasco, and Isla de Mindanao. Captured — Rapido and Hercules, and several launches. No material injury was inflicted on the American ships by the enemy's fire. Not a life was lost, and only seven men were wounded. On the day following the battle, May 1, the squadron moved to Cavite, and on the next day the Spanish garrison evacuated the arsenal, which was immediately occupied by a landing party. On May 2, the Raleigh and Baltimore compelled the surrender of the garrison on Corregidor Island, and Manila Bay and its approaches were all in the hands of the American Navy. 6 FIGHTING TOP IN ACTION Chairman Agnew, John T.

CASTLE WILLIAM, GOVERNOR'S ISLAND Dewey's Reception Planned Public agitation over giving Admiral Dewey a reception by the city upon his return from Manila, which began early last winter, led to the adoption by the Municipal Assembly on May 16 of the following resolution : Whereas, The people of the United States, with absolutely no dissentient judgment, regard Admiral George Dewey as the unrivalled hero of the late Spanish-American war, not merely on account of the superb genius and magnificen-t daring which he displayed in entering Manila Bay on May r, 1898, and in the complete destruction of the Spanish fleet, but also on account of the wise statesmanship and dignified self-control which he has shown since that time in his conduct of affairs as commander of the American fleet in the Philippines; and Whereas, The triumph of the American fleet in the Philippines and the conspicuous ability of its commander have added a new page of glory to the history of our beloved country; and Whereas, The citizens of New York have always been first among American municipalities in their loyalty to the Stars and Stripes and in their alertness to recognize with praise and gratitude all memorable services rendered to this nation by the United States Navy; and Whereas, It is now officially announced that the United States Flagship " Olympia " is about to return home under the command of the distinguished successor of Farragut and Porter, and that it is expected to reach New York harbor in the month of August next; and Whereas, The public press and opinion of this city, reflecting the sentiments of the American people, de- mand that especial honor shall be paid to Admiral Dewey, to the officers and crew of the victorious flagship on its arrival in New York; therefore, be it Resolved, That the Mayor of the City of New York be and he hereby is requested to appoint a representa- tive committee of citizens for the purpose of making all necessary arrangements to give a fitting patriotic reception to Admiral Dewey, the officers and crew of the United States Flagship " Olympia" on the occasion of their arrival in the harbor of New York. On June 6. the Municipal Assembly authorized the expenditure of $150,000 by the City to carry out the celebration program. Mayor Van Wyck, on June 17, named a Citizens' Committee of one thousand members. The Committee of One Thousand was called to order by Mayor Van Wyck, on June 21, to organize. The Mayor was made permanent Chairman and Alfred M. Downes Secretary. The Mayor was authorized to appoint an Executive Committee of one hundred and fifty members. In a brief talk, Mayor Van Wyck outlined to the Committee the work before them, as follows : Although the hero of the Spanish-American War has already started on his homeward voyage, returning from the triumphs of Manila Bay, yet he is journeying by such slow stages that it will be two months before he reaches the shores of the American continent. "This Committee has been appointed and this meeting called for organization, at this early day, so that every systematic and orderly arrangement may be made for extending a welcome to Admiral Dewey that will show the esteem and respect in which he is held by the American people. "This celebration and reception was conceived in a broad and liberal spirit by the people, and it must be carried out in every detail in the same spirit, and the demonstration in his honor must assume such proportions as to convince the whole civilized world that in free America, where every citizen is a sovereign, the people know how to do honor to American heroes.

General Daniel Butterfield, Chairman of the Executive Committee of Citizens appointed under authority of the Municipal Assembly to arrange such a reception, will communicate with you by this mail. Awaiting information as to the probable date of your return, I am, most respectfully yours, Roijf.rt A. Van Wyck, Mayor. General Butterfield wrote more in detail of the plans of the Committee.

AUDITING COfiniTTEE Chairman — Bird S. Coler Green, Andrew H. Myers, Theodore W. 24 Vrooman, John W. THE NEW UNIFORM DESIGNED ESPECIALLY FOR ADMIRAL DEWEY. Hi Admiral George Dewey dmiral George Dewey was nearing his sixty-second birth- day when he destroyed the Spanish Fleet in Manila Bay. He comes from the Green Mountain State, and was born in Montpelier, December 26, 1837. He was a son of Dr. Julius Dewey, descendant of an old New England family, dating back to 1633. He was educated at Norwich University, a famous mili- tary college of Vermont. He preferred the navy to the army, and secured an appointment to Annapolis, which he entered in 1854. There were fourteen men in the graduating class of 1858, and George Dewey stood fifth in his class. After his graduation he was ordered to the steam frigate Wabash, then cruising with the Mediterranean squadron. In 1859 he returned to the Naval Academy to receive his final examinations. W hen Sumter was fired on, Dewey was at Montpelier. Just one week later, April 19, 1861, he was commissioned as Lieutenant and assigned to duty on the sloop of war Mississippi, of the West Gulf squadron, under Farragut. The Mississippi, a side-wheel steamer of seventeen guns, commanded by Melancton Smith, was the third in the line in the famous dash past Forts Jackson and St. Philip. It was the Mississippi that shelled and sank the Confederate ram Manassas. A year later, the old side- wheeler ran aground in the Mississippi river near Port Hudson, and, completely riddled by the Confederate batteries, was burned to the water's edge. 26 After the loss of the Mississippi, Lieutenant Dewey was assigned to the smaller gunboats of the squadron, and early in 1864 was transferred to the gunboat Agowan, of the North Atlantic Squadron. In March of the following year, Lieutenant Dewey was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander, and assigned to duty on the famous old sloop Kearsarge. At the close of the war he was transferred to the steam frigate Colorado, flagship of the European squadron. Lieutenant-Commander Dewey was ordered home from the European station early in 1867, and assigned to duty at the Kittery Navy Yard at Portsmouth, N. H. It was while in Portsmouth that he met Miss Susan B. Goodwin, a daughter of Ichabod Goodwin, War Governor of New Hampshire, whom he married in October, 1867. Shortly after his marriage he was assigned to duty at the Naval Academy at Annapolis. Two years later he was placed in command of the Narragansett, and on April 13, 1872, he was promoted to the rank of Commander. In 1876, Dewey was called to Washington, to be made a Lighthouse Inspector, and, later, Secretary of the Lighthouse Board. He commanded the Juniata on the Asiatic Station in 1882-83, and on the 27th of September, 1884, was made Captain, and put in charge of the Dolphin, one of the four new vessels which formed the original "White Squadron." In February, 1897, Capt. Dewey was promoted to the rank of Commodore. Under the suggestion of Assistant- Secretary of the Navy, Theodore Roose- velt, in 1897, Commodore Dewey was put in command of the Asiatic Squadron. He raised his flag over the Olympia, in the harbor of Hong Kong, January 3, 1898. On February 13, of this year, Mr. Hale, Chairman of the Naval Commit- 28 EDWARD DEWEY THE LATE DR. JULIUS DEWEY HON. CHARLES DEWEY Brother of the Admiral Father of the Admiral Brother of the Admiral tee in the Senate, favorably reported a bill creating an Admiral of the Navy. It passed both houses without a dissenting vote, and President McKinley forthwith appointed Commodore Dewey, Admiral of the Navy of the United States, a position not existing since the death of his old commander, Admiral Farragut. Admiral Dewey has one son, George Goodwin Dewey, who was born in 1872. He is in busi- ness in New York. The mother died a few days after the birth of her son. Of the personality of Admiral Dewey, one of the ablest of the brilliant young war corre- spondents, who was with him at Manila, has this to say : " He has a square face, and its most prominent feature is the rugged under jaw. The eyes are wide apart, and set well back under heavy brows. The forehead is high, broad and bold. The nose is large and the mouth generous, but firm. Moustache and hair are almost white. The complexion is dark, as are the eyes. He is not a big man physically, but he is astonishingly quick in his actions. His shoulders are so square and his broad back is so straight that many a man much his junior might envy him them. His step is quick and springy; his whole bearing is one of alertness and readiness. His mental process is lightning-like. He thinks like a flash, and goes all around his subject in less time than many a man would take to study one side of it. Yet he does not jump at conclusions, and there are times when he is very deliberate. He reasons to determinations, and, whatever his personal preferences or beliefs or feelings, he can disassociate them entirely from his work. His logic machine is absolutely sound and in finest order. It turns out conclusions with mathe- 30 THE BIRTHPLACE OF ADMIRAL DEWEY The Old Dewey Homestead, Montpelier, Vt. 1 DEWEY AT THIRTY YtARS matical precision. The sharpest critic he has can hardly find one point in the long record made in Manila Bay where he can put his finger down and say, " There Dewey made a mistake."
