Admiral Dewey

BY fortunate conjunction OF CO.
incidencessit has happef ed that the
great commander who struck the
first decisive blow at the vitals OF
Spanish power should be the one to
inflict upon her the last crushing de-
feat ofthe war.
Admiral George Dewey stands in
historical relation to the war between
the United States and Spain similar
to that which Nelson bore to the war
between England and France, when,
by the decisive victories of Trafal-
gar and aAboukir he shattered the
naval power of France and broke the
long chain of her victories.
Dewey's achievements in the bay
of Manila on that eventful Sunday in
May, considered with careful refer
ence to all the aspects which are to
be studied in meaning the difficulties
to be overcome in q sea fght-the
destruction inflicted by the victor
and the amount of injury received
from the opposing heet-is the most
pronounced success that had ever
been achieved. The only feat COM
parable to it was that performed by
the squadron off Santiago, which on
another Sunday morning, in July,
effected the complete destruction of
Cevera's feet.
Not only was DeweY's great achieve
ment the product of the highest de-
gree of maritime skill in both con-
ception and execution, but its dis
heartening effects upon the Spanish
nation and it's revelation of our fight
ing strength and marvellous gunnery
10 the Old World countries had
much to do with insuring neutrality
and deterring foreign Intervention.
Admiral Dewey's wise, cautious
and firm bearing in the delicate and
trying position in which he was p'ac-
ed as result of his Yictory-block-
aiding populous and strongly gar
tant from his base of supplies, sur
rounded by the warships of several
European nations. watching one an
other and the Americans with jealous
scrutity; restraining the excesseS
of the Philippine insurgents and
checkmating the plots and intrigues
of their willy and ambitious leader
these we're functions requiring in
their discharge an assemblage Of
physical, mental and moral attri-
butes sufficient if subdivided to have
made half doztn men distinguish
ed.
What the country owes to the
splendid deeds of Admiral Dewey
will be recorded in the pride and
plaudits of his grateful fellow-coun-
trymen and in the admiration of
posterity.
1t was fitting close to his heroic
performances in Manila bay that he
should be enabled with the cooper
alton of our gallant army under Gen
eral Merritt to force the capitulation,
almost simultaneously with the sign
ing of the portocol by the two gov
ernments, of the antipodeAn city
which for more than 100 days Jay at
