DEWEY'S VICTORY.

Three and thirty years of peace,
But the war dogs are loos,d again.
1t means bloodshed and anguish to many
heart,
This war 'twixt our country and Spain
Out near the Philippine Islands,
In Hong Kong far away,
Commodore Dewey was stationed
With our fleet. And SO one day
He steamed into Spanish waters.
Right over the mines they say;
Hurrah for Dewey! This bravery
VIII be rewarded some day.
He met the Spaniards so calmly.
You'd hardly believe 1t, but then
The victory was gained by Dewey,
Tho bravest OF all brave men.
The battle ragged for three long hours
CTwas fought in the bay you know
Although our fleet was the smaller
We conquered the Spanish foe. .
Wide opened the mouth of tho ocean
To receive the Spanish men,
And the war.hips that were sunken
Our victory was gained just then.
We patriots should be thankful
That Dewey is so brave,
He the Spanish fleet demolished,
The Stars aud Stripes to save.
Amid the smoke and powder
Fired from the guns of Spain,
Commodore Dewey shouted
Nov boys, Remember the Maine." y
