THE GRADE OF ADMIRAL
Urged That 1t Be Revived for the Benefit of
Rear Admiral Dewey.
2ettcr of Capt. Glass. who Command
cd the Charleston, to senn-
tor Perkins.

Although there may be some conflict of
opinion among naval officers as to the pro-
priety Of advancing either Admiral Samp
son or Admiral Schley to the proposed
grade Of vice admiral. the opinion is prac-
tIcally unanimous in favor of the PROPOSE
lion to revive the grade OF admiral, or at
least that of vice admiral. for the special
benefit Of Rear Admiral George Dewey for
his gallant and unhlemished record in the
Philippines The position of naval officers
generally on this subject is well expressed
IN q letter written by Captain Henry Glass
who was in command of the cruiser
Charleston on the occasion Of the capture
OF Guam, TO Senator Perkins of California.
The letter is as follows:
II am sure you win allow me to take up
q small amount Of your time in asking you
TO do all in your power to have Congress
confer upon Rear Admiral Dewey reward
approaching the value Of the great services
he has rendered TO our country j speak
not only as naval officer in this, but as a
Californian. for Admiral Dewey In his ac-
ton of May ] last. the most brilliant and
far-reaching in its effect of modern battles
was defending our western ports and secur-
ing the whole Pacific coast against any
possible Spanish attack.
Importance of the Pattie of Manila,
''Of this battle of Manila of May / need

ognizes is paramount Importance n he

late war. When one remembers that the
admiral, with a squadron of only six cruis-
ers. over 1000 miles from a home port or
place of repairs to his ships, entered the
Bay of Manila, passing heavy batteries and
crossing submarine mines by which the bay
was defended in order to reach his enemy,
who had a greater number of vessels, with
every advantage of position, supported by
well-placed batteries on shore, il Is seen
that Dewey's victory has no parallel in
naval history.
After the battle of May 1 came n long
period of anxious waiting and exposure for
the admiral, who had it in his power to
compel the surrender of Manila at any mo-
ment, but had not the force to preserve or
der in city of 100000 people and at the
same time guard the vital interests under
his charge. Holding the city and bay in
grip of steel, from which there was no es-
cape, in the face of the thinly-dsguised
hostility of the naval force of pretended
friendly power, Dewey showed patience
resolution, unerring judgment in every
phase of the situation. and readiness to
meet all conditions and act for the hign-
est interests of the country that have never
been surpassed by any military leader of
our own or any other nation.
Promotion Made Not Enough
Our country is always ready to applaud
galiantry in battle, and no voice was raised
against action of Congress in promptly car
ryirg out the Presidents recommendation
to give to Commodore Dewey the thanks of
the country and to advance him to the
grade of rear admiral. But Congress and
the President, all unwittingly, we must be-
heve cid not see that their action practi-
cally failed TO do what was intended.
The admiral was promoted two numbers
on the navy register. a smaller promotion
than was given his juniors. He received
his promotion only four months sooner
than he would have attained the rank of
rear admiral had he remained quietly
ashore during the war, and finally the
thanks of Congress carried no additional
service, as such action did during tie war
between the states. when men far inferior
TO Dewey were given ten years extra
service.
1T is not too late to correct the mistake
