LESSONS FROM MANILA.
DeWey's Deductions From The
Battle.

Dewey's Deductions From The
Battle.
The San Francisco Examiner pub.
fishes the following from its special
correspondents:
Manila, June ID. Via HongkOng,
June 17)-Admiral Dewey said to me
today, when asked him to give "The
Examiner-Jourual' his ideas of the
lessons to be learned from his great
naval victory.
ELODIA
1.-THE first lesson of The battle teach
es the Importance of American gun
merry and good guns.
''It confirms my early experiences
under Admiral Farragut, that com
bats are decided more by skill in gun
merry and the quality of the guns than
by ell else. Torpedoes and other ap-
pliances are good in their way, but are
entirely of secondary importance.
''The Spaniards, with their com bin
ed fleet and forts, were equal to US in
gun power. But they were unable to
harm us because OF bad gunnery.
Constant practice made our gunnery
destructive and won the victory.
1.-THE second lesson of this battle is
the complete demonstration of the
value OF high-grade men. Cheap men
are not wanted, are not needed. are
loss to the United States navy.
"We should have none but the very
best men behind the guns. It will not
do to have able officers and poor men.
The men, in their class, must be equal
to the officers in theirs. We must have
the best Uen filling all positions on
shipboard. To make the attachments
of the officers valuable, we must have,
as we have in this fleet, the best men
to carry out their commands.
"The third lesson, not less import
ant than the others, is the necessity
for the inspection. Everything to be
used in battle should be inspected by
the naval officials. If this is done,
there would be no fault found at q
crisis in time of danger.
"Look at the difference between our
ships and the Spanish ships. Every
thing the Spanish had was supplied by
contract. Their shells, their powder,
all their materials, were practically
worthless, while ours were perfect.

and directs that the following rates be
adopted for the transportat by

ploying fifth class differential rates, as
prescribed IN general tariff of class
rates No. 1 and amendments thereto,
under the rules governing same, in
connection with the rates as above es-
tablished.

the night, and no one was near at hand.
The leak was small when he found it, but
he knew that the action of the water would
enlarge it long before morning, and wash
away the entire embankment, inundate the
country and destroy his own and thou
sands of homes. So he brave1y put his
finger in the cTevasse, and kept it there all
the long night through, until help came and
the opening was properly stopped. He had
saved his country.

down, no matter how slightly, there is an

stroyed forever.
