SUN THE ENEMY
What Late Capt. Grid1ey
Thought of Philippines.
Poor CIimate-COalingS Station Only
Use-A Captured Transport.
Brave Men All in Fight.

Two days before the death of Cap
tain Gridley, while he was on the Cop
tic and bound for home, broken down
in health from the ravages of sickness,
he talked at length TO a New York
Tribune correspondent.
He talked freely of the climate of
the Philippines and of his opinion of
the strategic value of the islands to
the United States. He also told Of
the entrance into Manila harbor on
that victorious first of May. He spoke
as follows: 4 feel sorry for those
boys they are sending out to Manila.
They are in more danger from the
scourges of the country than from
Spanish bullets. The heat is simply

damnable, and they are sure TO sick
en-. The fleet has been singularly free
from illness, but I fear it will come.
1 have no desire to criticise any plan
of the Government or to stand against
the wishes of the people, but l see
nothing in those islands for US, except
a cOaling station. Not one in ten of
our best men could survive there.
However, I suppose we must have
troops there for time, but the sun,
and not the Spaniard, is theft enemy.
II do not believe Manila will be
bombarded unless the Spanish fire on
us. The city is absolutely blockaded
from the sea and shut in from the
rear. The insurgents are attending to
that. They got two thousand stands
of arms themselves recently. Admiral
Dewey gave them five hundred, and
they also got part of the munitions of
war taken at Cavite. They have
sort of headquarters there now. There
have been few events since the defeat
of Spaniards. Beef has gone to $3.50
a pound, and other staples are equally
high.
THE Baltimore and the captured re-
venue steamer Callao were sent to
IIoiIo to try to rescue the captured
American ship Saranac, and to attend
to the gunboat Elcano. The latter was
one of the small warships not at Ma
Mia. There are some fourteen small
ones left. They are scattered about
the islands, and include the Cebu,
which is dismantled, above the bridge
near Manila.
'"The captured transport Manila will
probably be sent to San Francisco. She
is a fine 1,1O0-ton ship, and her cargo
will be made up of what was captured.
Hundreds of new Mauser rifles and all
kinds of supplies had just reached Ma
Mia before we got there, and they all
fell into our hands with the arsenal.
I got six torpedoes and other supplies
for the Olympia, and a large quantity
of stuff that was useless was destroyed
by the fleet. We have, however, devOt-
ed most of our time to the blockade,
and not a single vessel got in.
Il had no thought of mines or tor
pedoes, and we were in the van. We
went up close to Manila, and when we
found the fleet was not there circled
around to Cavite, where we knew they
would be. We engaged them. at once.
I was with Farragut at Mobile Bay,
and did not expect to see anything Of
the kind again. Strange, but it was
the thirty-fourth anniversary of Mo
bile. We went right in to finish them,
and made every shot count.
The Admiral handled the feet to |
the best advantage, and the work be-
fore it was done effectively. 1t would !
be impossible to single out individual |
cases of bravery. I could not on my |
ship, and the Admiral could not in
the fleet. I am proud to say every |
man did his duty. They were all at
their posts and answered to every call |
of duty We were hit thirteen times,
but were not injured, and fired forty
three times from S-inch and 278 times
from 6-inch guns.
Il think I am in for it personally, |
but I could not leave the ship before
the battle. Several Of our fellows,
including Captain Wilder, of the Bos-
-on, had completed their time, but they
stayed and fought it out. I can see
only one result to this war. We are
to the Latin and the Bourbon,
and must conquer"
