DEWEY'S MANILA BREAKFAST

1t is a pity to spoil that pretty story
telling how Dewey stopped the battle
of Manila bay, in orders to give his men
time for breakfast. 1t has been known
for some time that the American shins
really hauled out of the fight for a
time, because their ammunition was
running short but it has remained for
Mr.. Stickney, a former officer of the
navy and the correspondent of the New
York Herald, who served as Dewev's
personal aide on the bridge of the
Olympia, to tell how grave concern was
actually felt by the commander of the
fleet at that junoture
Mr.. Stickney says Dewey felt then
that at best only a drawn battle had
been fought, and much fault was found
With American Workmanship, for at
that time proof of the destructiveness
OF our fire had hardly begun to ap-
pear. The gunners believed they had
done good work, and they asked Stick
ney why they had been ordered out OF
the fight. Then it was that the com
modore's aide, knowing that the real
reason must not be confessed. replied
that the fight had been only adjourned
for breakfast. subsequently, he told
Dewey that in his newspaper dis
patches he should give this as the rea-
son for the movement, and the com
mander-in-chief replied that it mat
tered little what reason was given. so
long as it was not the real one.
With his own stock of ammunition
low. the enemy well supplied and the
enemy's fleet and land batteries IN
silenced, it was felt that the position
OF the American squadron, 1000 miles
from home and unable to be reinforced
within a month, was perilous in the
extreme. Before breakfast was over
the effect of the American fire had be-
come obvious enough, ii is true. but
Dewey's breakfast order, nevertheless
is instructive as showing clearly the
immense responsibility and the great
danger which had to be faced. and the
commanders full realization Of the sit :
uation.
The actual presence of the enemy's
mines and guns constituted but one
item in the problem, Dewey knew he
could rely on Spanish incompetence to
place their mines SO deep that they
were for the most part harmless, and
to point their guns wide Of the mark:
but he could not match their stock of
ammunition nor their advantage of
land occupation. As sticSney remarks
in his article in the February Harper's.
II was not so much what Dewey ac-
complished as the thoroughness with
which he did it. 1t was a case of sink
or SWIM and Dewey swan Justify and
got ashore, Dewey was a sick man
when he went into action. Iced tea,
hot coffee and bareback proved sin
sularly effective emetic but the ex-
element and engrossment of battle
proved wonderfully strong tonic.
