COMMODORE DEWEY.

Commodore Geo. Dewey is one Of
the most gallant officers in the Am
eriean navy. lie WAS hero OF the
civil war. For the past 80 years or
more he has been serving his coun-
try on the seas, and at the various
land stations and works OF the ma
w, and has been la the public eye
but little. The commander Of the
Asiatic squadron Ia quiet man,
who lmpresses one with anything
but the sturdy herolsm and intense
patriotism that are wrapt up with
In his calm exterior. Heis no the
orstIcal fighter. In his youth, after
his liberation from the tolls OF An
napolis, he was lieutenant on the

ten TO pieces. Lieut.. Dewey stuck
to his guns TO the last and he did
not quit the vessel until he went
with the captain alter all Others had
got out Of the destruction. Admi-
raj Porter singled out the youthful
lieutenant for special praise. He
spoke Of him In words that are the
sweetest reward that an officer can
be given-above wealth or fame, or
above even promotion. But pro-
motion came promptly for the gal
liant young sailor. In 1855 he was
. Lieut.. Commander. As Comman-
der he was stationed In the Aslatlc
squadron OF which he Is now the
master, and in 1854 he was lifted to
the rank Of Captain. which WAS
soon to be followed by the uniform
OF a Commodore. He knows the

From the time the news OF the
overwhelming defeat at Manila be-
came public the murmurings OF

broken into revolution. IL Is

OUR MEN IN ACTION.

The following is from an article
describing the bombardment OF
MatanZas, written by a newspaper
correspondent who was on board
one Of tho United States vessels:
The behavior Of our men-of-war
10 action was splendid. The news
got from the flagship that the men
were just as cool as though they
we're at target practice. This is al
so true OF the Puritan and the Gin
einnati.
II is also true, however, that the
men on the Puritan and Cincinna-
ii wept during ten minutes when
the New York was engaged alone,
while they had to wait for orders.
Then, while the Puritan engaged
and there still came no order for
the Cincinnati to fire, the grief OF
Capt. Chester's crew was almost
unbearable.
Finally, when the Cincinnati got
orders to engage, she steamed q,
first broadside on, and then took q
position where the Bubal Cava bat
teries could not strike her. She
fairly enfiladed the batteries, and
her men exclaimed with ever,
shot:
: "Take that for the Maine ~
There was no rejoicing, no cheer
!, ing. Everything was carried o.
with an earnestness Of purpOs
which showed a sensation Of whlc
joy was not part. The men fel
the pleasure Of conflict pulsatin
Q 10 their veins, but not the pleasuT
OF killing for Killings sake.
: Too much can not be said OF n
: gunnery OF the men on the ship.
d nor can too much be said in prai'
: Of the discipline which prevailed.

Men too weak to help themselves were
found lying unconscious in the streets
of Long Island City, and in every in

learned that there were neither doctors
nor nurses on the trains of the con-
valescents.
Lieutenant Charles Edwards of the
Seventy first New York Regiment, and
a professional nurse, in reply to ques-
tions by General Dodge said: I was
technically starved for four weeks after

was the best treatment for the disease
Many of the deaths in Cuba were due
to the ignorance of the men affected.
The doctors told them If you eat you
die Still they ate. The volunteer Ia
dies who went to Montauk as nurses
tions were all right, but they did not
accomplish their purpose They had at
their quarters soda-water, ginger ale,
champagne cider chicken and bread
and butter. They svmpathiZed with
the men landing from the transports
and invited them to eat and drink. OF
course the men wanted to eat and the
volunteer ladies gave them chicken and
other edibles A few days later the
men would be dead and the ladies
would go around blaming the Govern
ment."
