THE PRINCETON LINTON: TIURsDAY SEPT 81 1899

various Spanish gunboats or smaller vessels
followed its example. The Reina had been
under way but short time when steam was
observed issuing from its main escape pipes,
showing that it was badly injured.
"Soon after it apparently lost control of
itself, and one Of the gunboats was seen to
shove its bow around and point it to the
westward, showing that its steering GEAR
must have been injured also.
1T continued to maneuver, being turned
by a gunboat for about half an hour, when
it became stationary, and it was afterward
found it had touched bottom and stuck.

had lighters heaped with stone dashed on one
side, with the idea of protecting the sides of
the vessels from our projectiles. =

going to breakfast as We got out from under
fire of the fleet and the batteries If Sangley
Point and Manila city. A conference was
Immediately held on board the : flagship,
where reports of expenditures Of ammuni-
ton and casualties were verbally made to
Admiral Dewey.
ut was with a feeling of the greatest
establishment, as well as of intense gratifca-
ton, that we learned the squadron had ex-
pended only about one-third of it's ammuni-
ton and had not lost a single man or re-
ceived injuries worth speaking Of. 1t was so
incredible that the commanding officers
stared at each other in astonishment
"About ten o'clock it was seen that all the
Spanish gunboats had run behind the arsenal
of Cavite for protection; that the Reina
Cristina was aground and in flames; that
the Don Antonio Ulloa's and the Castillo S
stern moorings had been cut; that they were
swinging to the wind, and that the Castillo
was on fire beyond control
"A little after II o'clock strange sail was
seen coming up the bay, the Baltimore being
sent to communicate with it. It proved
to be an English vessel.
|"Signal was made to go in and destroy
the batteries. The Baltimore, from it's posi-
ton being nearest in, was ordered to lead.
The Concord was directed to go in and burn
the transport steamer Isla de Mindanao
The Baltimore, being some distance from the
main squadron, was able to get into action
some time before the other vessels of the
squadron could get up. 1t attacked in the
most gallant manner, stopping at one time
directly under the battery at Sangley Point
and pouring in terrific fire.
1.-THE Olympia, Raleigh and Boston fol-
lowed in as fast as they possibly could,
opening on the batteries as their guns could
be brought to bear, driving the Spanish
troops out of the Notifications and silencing
everything in that vicinity. During the sec.
ond part of the engagement the batteries at
Manila remained quiet. AS soon as the bat
teries on Sangley Point were silenced signal
was made for the vessels to go in as close as
possible and destroy all the Spanish men-of-
war that could be found
''The Petrol, by its light draft, was en-
abled to get mile or so closer in than any Of
the other vessels. The Raleigh, having a
clear field, fired dozen six-inch ehells into

While the destruction Of the smaller yes.
sells was going on by a boats crew sent in
from the Petrol, the Olympia got under way
and steamed over for Manila, starting with
no vessels to aid it. The Raleigh, Boston
and Baltimore followed as soon as they
could get their engines going, leaving the
Concord, which had just joined the feet after
the destruction Of the Isla de Mindanao and
the Petrol to carry out the destruction Of
the remaining vessels.
"The Olympia succeeded in reaching Ma
Mia and anchoring in front Of the city be.
fore any Of the other vessels of the squad
ron could catch up to it.
"One of the bravest things and prettiest
sights that one could we'll imagine was the
reserve squadron, by order of the admiral,
running in and anchoring inshore of the
Olympia. Communication was established
with the shore by landing some of our peo-
pie on board a neutral vessel, where our
acting consul, Mr.. Walker, the British con.
sui, conferred with them and carried into
Manila the admiral's ultimatum"
On May 2 Commodore Dewey cut the cable
communication between Manila and Hong.

during the whole of the battle AS the Con-
cord swung past Manila it fired two shells at
the lunette battery. These were the only
shots fired toward the city, Our squadron
kept moving, the speed increased to eight
knots, to the Spanish fleet at Cavite six
miles distant. When the Olympia reached
point about $500 yards from the Spanish
position it opened with it's forward turret
guns, the only guns which could be brought
to bear.
''The Olympia kept up this fire until
point was reached where our squadron could
turn and pass parallel to the Spaniards, at
distance of about 5000 yards. The Olympia
was some 20 minutes under fire from the
lunette battery, the fleet at Cavite, and the
batteries on Sangley Point before it reached
a position from which its fire could certainly
be effective.
GAS the Olympia turned to run parallel to
| the Spaniards at distance of about 5000
yards (nearly two miles from the enemy
the Baltimore, following in its wake, opened
with its forward eight-inch guns, and the
| ships following opened as they reached the
same point and could bring their guns to
bear.
1.-The Raleigh was about 30 minutes under
fire before it could fire in return. Each of
the vessels of our squadron opened with all
guns, following the example of the Olympia,
as they came into position to do so.

to the westward, until we passed them

the Raleigh fired with it's guns elevated to

George Dewey is a veteran among the
naval officers of the United States. He re-
ceived his first experience under Admiral
Farragut, and aboard the old steam sloop
Mississippi, to which he was assigned for
duty April 10, 1861, eight days before Fort
Sumter was fired upon
He is now 81 years old and native Of
Vermont He was appointed to the naval
academy from that state in September, 1857.
When he was gradual ted four years later he
was sent aboard the steam frigate Wabash,
and went on a cruise in the Mediterranean.
He received his commission as a lieutenant
when he was assigned to duty on the Mis-
sissippi, which joined the West Gulf squad
dron. When Farragut's fleet forced an en-
trance to the Mississippi Lieut.. Dewey was
in the thickest of the fray upon the Old steam
sloop.
The most spirited fight in which the Mis-
slsslppi ever took part occurred in March,
1863, when the feet tried to pass by the con-
federate batteries at Port Hudson. Some
of the ships managed to pass up to the mar
row part of the channel, where they were
fired upon by the shore batteries, being
forced to retreat. But the Mississippi did
not attempt to get up into the channel. It
was foggy day, made more obscure by the
smoke Of battle. The sloop lost it's bearings
and ran ashore. Before its officers were
aware of it it had struck directly under the
guns Of a battery which was one of the
strongest Of the Notifications. It was only
a brief breathing spell before $50 shots
struck the Mississippi and riddled it from
end to end. The obscurity made it possible
for its crew to take to their boats after SET

Dewey got his first command in 1870, when
he performed special service with the Mar
ragansett He made surveys of the Pacific
coast until 1876, when he became light
house inspector, afterwards being the Sec

the Ulloa, sinking it at its moorings, and
then firing into the arsenal and the town of
Cavite wherever a Spanish flag could be
seen: Shortly after one p. m. the Petrol sig
nailed: The enemy surrenders.'
At this time troops from the batteries on
Sangley Point could be seen getting out of
the batteries and running up the beach as
fast as possible. While our squadron was
sweeping down to the westward the first or
second time small steam vessel was seen to
come out from behind Sangley Point and at
tempt to pass at full speed ahead of the
squadron, apparently heading for our re-
serves.
1.-The Olympia Immediately opened on it
with Its secondary battery and the Raleigh,
which had been ordered to leave the main
line of battle and attack anything which
might attempt the destruction of the reserve
squadron, sheered out of line and opened
with its secondary battery. In a few min.
utes the small vessel turned toward the land,
ran on the beach, and was deserted by its
crew, sinking just as it struck the ehoal

about the same number. AS the McCulloch
came into line it also fired several shots from
its three-inch field guns, with which it had
been supplied by the Raleigh and the Balti-
more. Signal was then made for the reserve
squadron to come up on the port side of the
main squadron, also asking if everything
was all right. The McCulloch answered

over the mines a speed of four knots was

The whole squadron passed up the bay

THE BATTLE OF MANILA.
1t Was Won Without the Loss of n
Single American Life.

The story Of the battle Of Manila reads
almost like a piece of fiction. On the morn
ing of May l, 1898, Commodore Dewey
steamed into the harbor. His squadron
consisted of the cruiser Olympia (tlagship)
Raleigh, Baltimore and Boston, and gun
boats Concord and Petrol, and the revenue
cutter McCulloch, with two transports.
Here he met the Spanish fleet, consisting of
the Reina Cristina, Castillo, Don Antonio
de Ulloa, Isa de Luzon, Isla de Cuba, Gen.
Leo, Marquis de Duero, Cano, Velasco, Isla
de Mindanao, some small gunboats and a
transport. The total tonnage of the Amer
lean fleet was 1908 tons and that of the
Spanish real fighting ships was 1922 tons,
but the latter had the support of heavy and

rotary of the lighthouse board. During
1928 he commanded the Juniata on the
Atlantic station.
In September, 1884, Lieut.. Dewey was
made captain, and placed in charge of the
Dolphin, one of the four vessels which
formed the original "White Squadron" He
was placed in command of the Pensacola, of
the European squadron, in the following
year, remaining as its commander until 1888,
when he became the chief of the bureau of
equipment and recruiting, with the rank of
commodore.
The duties and rank of Capt. Dewey re-
manned unchanged then until 1893, when
he became member of the lighthouse
board. He received his commission as COM
modore February %, 1896, being about the
| same time made president of the board of
inspection and survey, which position he
occupied until January, 1898, when he was
placed in command of the Asatic squadron.
On May 7, 1898, Commander Dewey was
promoted to be rear admiral and given the
thanks Of congress. Still later he was mads

of the battle'was the entire destruction of all

the Baltimore in it's line.
''The Raleigh came next and was abreast
of the rock at 1910 a. m. of May l. As it
swung into the wake of the Olympia at 1918
a. m. the first gun of the operations in the
east was fired by the Spaniards from Ell
Fraile rock, the projectile passing over and
between the Raleigh and Petrol. About a
minute after a second shot was fired from
Ell Fraile in about the same direction.
The Raleigh then, at 1915 a. M, at a
distance of about 300 yards, fired the first
shot on the American side in the Philippine
campaign. Ri Fraile battery continued firing
as the squadron passed, the Concord and
Boston firing as they came by.

Facts About olives.

Every one knows there is such an
article as olives, most everybody has
eaten them, but few are aware of their
nature, properties and characteristics,
to say nothing Of their origin, home,
cultivation, preparation, etc.
The original home of the olive tree
was in Syria and Palestine, thence it
was carried to Greece, where it -four
ished in the time of Homer, who
makes mention of the tree and its
fruit. The origin of the olive is lost
in antiquity, but there is little doubt
that 1t is many centuries older than
the Greek poets.
The olive tree is a small one, gen.
orally from l to feet in diameter and
10 to 80 in height. Old specimens are
found which have attained larger pro-
portions, but these are exceptional.
Italy Is the most prolific country at
the present time in the production of
olives, France and Spain being second
in the order named. olives are also
produced in many other countries
They were planted in California by the
Spanish missionaries somewhere
about 1865, and to this day Mission
olives are considered the best in the
state.
