D:wey's H;s.o::c Victory.

History affords no such record of sue
cess as that which has been achieved by
Dewey. AS the'details, are made known
and the completeness of the victory over
the Spanish fleet at Manila, and all that
1t, means, come to be known, the world is
amazed. While the victory was ex-
pected, n caused no surprise in any
quarter, except among the masses in
Spain who have been deceived by their
government into the belief that the their
naval powers were .nvfnclblc against
those of the United States, the extent OF
It and the %brilllancy OF the feat perform
ed by the United States forces were not
dreamed of.
That a bay splendidly fortified, and
the entrance to which was protected by
submarine mines, could be forced, an en-
tire naval feet OF the enemy be COM
pletely destroyed, and the attacking
squadron qbtain complete control OF a
territory containing populous cities, the
entire group OF islands containing a pop
ulation one-seveath that OF the United
States, and all without the loEs OF a sin
gle man or the loss of a single vessel

II there Is a parallel IN history l. has
not been searched out. The wonderful
accomplishment of Commodore Dewey
will cause his name TO be ranked in the
years to come with the greatest naval
heroes OF the world. and mark him as
a chief among all our American COM
nanders on the ecas. Honors to him
and his magnificent crew are being paid
throughout the length and breadth of
the country, and tributes will be paid
to them In every community in the land.
The victory demonstrates conciusively
the superiority Of American seamen, the
genius OF the American commander and
establishes the reputation OF the United
States as 4 naval power eecond to none
IN point OF excellence, even though It is
o,tranRed In size as to number OF YES
sells.
All honor. we repeat. to Commodore
Dewey and his brave men. But Che VIC

but through a peaceful means that con-
templated the main purpose. and not
tho forcible requirement OF territory
which would involve alliances with for
elgn nations for territorial conques,s.
The warnings Of the fathers OF the
country against forming entangling for
clgn alliances should be needed The
Moaeroe doctrine Is q principle TO which
We have consistently adhered, and can
be applied in two ways. What we will
do with the Philippines Is a Question
which will be wisely solved. Certainly
the United States will make OF her vic;
tory all that she can Justly make and
with honorable consistency. Spain Will
be obliged to pay dearly for all that this
government been forced to assume.
BY holding the Philippines until q
peaceful settlement Is made they will be
IN important factor in the final account.
They will be ours to make the most OF
on that basis. The Spanish offer 10 the
European powers OF the Philippines al
a trade to secure allies against the
United States, is a species OF bribery
which European powers may not :lnd 1t
honorable to accept, but these are de-
velopments that are yet to be worked
out In the meantime all honor to Dewey
and his brave men Is being echoed over
the country. and the American nag has a
prestige which 1t deserves through
American valor and patriotism.

TIE HERO OF MANILA.

TIE HERO OF MANILA.
Character and Characteristics of Com.
nodore GeorGo Dewey. a Quiet, Modest
Gentleman, butt Born Fighter.
A Washington dispatch says: Com
modore Dewey's record Is that OF a
fighter. His record during the civil
war IS full OF gallantry. Yet those who
know him for the past few years dur.
Ing hts residence In Washington say
that 1t is difficult for them to imagine
him as the hero OF such a terrific en-
gagement as that In the harbor Of Ma.
Mia. He was extremely popular in
Washington society, and his fondness
for society life, his elegant manners,
and his seeming inclination to take life
easy and to enjoy oil the good things In
It gave the impression to those who did
not know the real man, that he was
something OF a dilettante. He is slight
ly under sixty years OF. age, but is so
well preserved that he would not be ia
ken for more than ffty.two or fifty
three. He Is q little under the medium
height, stocklly built, with broad, heavy
set shoulders. He has snappy black
eyes, gray hair and mustache. Always
suuve, there is at the same time evil
dence OF great determination in his
character. He is one OF those men who,
while mild and'gentle in his ways,leaves
the impression that he Is a man OF
thorough knowledge and OF splendid re-
serve force.
II could never imagine Dewey getting
ratified under any circumstances" was
the remark OF q man who knew him
we'll during his residence in Washing

Army and Navy Club, which, being a

times a day. A friend of his said to-
day that he was certain the commodore
had at least twenty-five suits OF clothes.
He was always elegantly and faultless-
ly dressed.
He vas also one Of the governors OF
the Metropolitan Club, the other swell
club OF the capital.
When he received his orders to com
mand the Asiatic squadron the men,
bers OF this club gave him q farewell
dinner.
At this dime. Colonel Archibald Hop
kins proposed q poetic toast to him,
which, in view Of the Manila engage
ment, seems prophetic and well worthy
Of reproduction. 1t was as follows:
Fill all your glasses full tonight,
The wind Is off the shore,
And be It feast or be It fight,
pledge the Commodore.
Through days Of storm, through days OF
calm.
On broad Pacific seas;
At anchor off the Isles OF Palm.
Or with the japanese.
Ashore. anoat, on deck, below,
Or where our bulldogs roar:
To back a friend or breast a foe.
We pledge the Commodore.
We know u honor'll be u~nstaIned,
Whcre'er his pennant files;
Our rights respected and maintained.
Whatever power defies.
And when he takes the iomeward tack,
Beneath an Admiral's flag,
Well hail the day that brings him back,
And have another jag.

Few men in the navy were more IA
mlliar with ships than he, although he
was not distinctly a scientific officer. He
always kept his ships neat and In per-
feet order, and was always ready, as q
prominent naval officer said last even-
ing, to fight them. He came to Wash
ington in 1889 as chief Of the bureau OF
equipment and recruiting, the bureau
of which Commodore Royal B. Brad
ford is at present the efficient head. He
served for four years In that capacity
with the rank OF commodore, and when
Mr.. Cleveland came in for the second
term was appointed on the lighthouse
board, 1t being his second service in
connection with that bureau. When
Admiral Selfridge was ordered to the
command Of the Mediterranean squad
ron, Commodore Deweysw made pres
ident Of the board OF Inspection and re-
view. succeeding Captain Rodgers. As
president Of that board for two years.
Commodore Dewey had opportunity to
famillarize himself in every way with
the qualities of our modern vessels.
For some years his health has uot
been the best, as he had a delicate oper-
alton performed upon his liver when he
was on the Asiatic station In the later
SOS. He had recovered thoroughly by
the last autumn, and desired further
sea duty before his retirement, which
will come in about two years. He was,
therefore, ordered 10 command the Ash
attic squadron, having some time in the
carly fall been promoted to the full
rank Of Commodore. This was the first
time he ever had q flag OF his own as a
naval officer.

Wood From a Spear.

! James \. Low has been caned again.
The last time this was done by polit-
icaI offenders who had been in his
| charge at Oahu prison. Now that Mr.
Low is leaving the place, he has been
given a testimonial by the employees.
The presentation was made at $50
last evening in the receiving room at
the Jail. Deputy Kamana, native,
made the address. He said:
When we, the employees of Oahu
Prison, heard OF your resignation as
JailOr it came to us with regret as
you have always held our respect as
our superior officer and have ever
treated US justly and well.
Now that the day has come round
when you take leave Of us, we take
pleasure IN presenting you with
slight token of our Aloha in the shape
of a gold-headed cane. The weed is a
piece that was taken from a spear
that tradition says was used by Kane
hameha l. The gift is Of little mon
etary value, but we ask you to value
it not on this account but rather be-
cause Of the good wishes that go with
you to your new sphere Of labor. We
rejoice to know that in your new po-
sitiOn you have a bright prospect be-
fore you; rest assured that you carry
from Oahu Prison, the sincere good
wishes for true success as Manager of
The Honolulu Sugar Co.
The cane was handed to Mr.. Low by
T. Burke, one of the lunas. The in
scription says: Presented to James
A. Low by Employees of Oahu prison
The stick is one with historical inter
est and coming as it does, with the ear
nest tribute of men with whom Mr..
Low has long been associated, will be
valued highly. The remarks made by
Mr.. Kamana, were genuine express
sion of the sentiment the employees
hold for Mr.. Low, who they unite in
saying has been exactly as described.
While discipline has been maintained,
the kindliest feeling has always exist
ed between Mr.. Low and his men from
the highest to the lowest in the force
Only a brief response could be made
by Mr.. Low, who was taken by sur
prise completely He said he was glad
that the men who had been with him
so long realized that he had tried upon
all occasions to treat them fairly and
On his own behalf for
the men he would say that he found
them responsive to all his desires for
the very best and cleanest and most
management OF the place.
He ascribed not a little of what meas
ure of success had been achieved in
his work to the cooperation Of the
men.
