Admiral Dewey's naval victory at
Manila was as cheap from money
point Of view as il was in casualties to
lis men or ships. So much has been
said about the immense cost of ammu-
milton for big guns of battleships that
it was supposed his destruction of the
Spanish fleet was costly affair, but his
official report of the number Of shots
fired enabled the naval authorities to
ascertain that only $4,000 worth of
powder and she'll were used. The
United States could have afforded to
pay for several naval victories at that
rate. but at Manila one sufficed.
