The Olympia, her admiral, captain and
crew will be received September % by Rear
Admiral Sampson, on behalf of the govern
ment, by the governor of New York, the
mayor of the city, and other dignitaries.
There will be great naval parade up the
Hudson river, banquets and receptions, and
on September % there will be great land
parade, and governors by the score, from the
east and the west, and the north and the
south, surrounded by gaudily dressed
stats, will vie with each other to tell Dewey
what the people of the land think of him.
And they will tell him pleasant things.
They will tell him that he is the central fig
ure of the Spanish-American war; that his
was the only victory not tainted by charac-
ter-destroying jealousy; that his diplomacy
was as triumphant as his fighting. They will
tell him that in spite of sensational news
paper correspondents, who would make q
monkey of the lion, the people have an abid.
ing faith in his common sense and his judg.
ment of men and affairs. And all this hom-
age will not turn his head, for Dewey is a
true American who believes in the people
and who knows that charlatanism and often
sive jingoism are not American and that vel
low journalism does not represent anything
that is ennobling or commendable in our ma.
tional life.
Preparations have been made for the en-
tertainment of 100000 visitors during the
Dewey festival.

IN DMIRAL GEORGE DEWEY, the
~ hero par excellence of the Spanish

at New York Thursday, September %. He
will be accorded reception surprising IN
spontaneity and grandeur anything recorded
in American history. He will be received,
officially, by the government of the United
States, by the state of New York and the
city of Greater New York, and by repre-
sentatives from every state in the union;
and millions of his fellow-citizens will be
present to express by voice and action the
esteem in which the victor of Manila is held
by the common people of America. After
the New York reception is over, the admiral
will visit Washington, where the president
and his cabinet will tender him a reception
and present him with a sword of honor,
voted by the congress.

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.
It and the various gunboats being under
way and maneuvering without any order
often punched themselves in a way most
satisfactory to the Americans, as with the
proper distance all our guns could fairly
hail projectiles aboard them without miss
ing shot. Several of the Spanish gunboats
had lighters heaped with stone dashed on one
side, with the idea of protecting the sides Of
the vessels from our projectiles

Keeping up terrible and well-directed
fire our squadron swept five times in front
of the Spaniards, and then, under signal
from the flagship, withdrew from action,
going to breakfast as we got out from under
fire of the feet and the batteries of Sangley
Point and Manila city. A conference was
Immediately held on board the flagship,

"It was with 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 its ammuni
ton and had not lost single man or re.

incredible that the commanding officers
stared at each other in establishment.

series on Sangley Point were si1enced signal
vas 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-
sbled to get a mile or so closer in than any of
the other vessels. The Raleigh, having a
clear field, fired dozen six-inch shells into
the Ulloa, sinking it at its moorings, and
then firing into the arsenal and the town of
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 a 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.
"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 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 shoal
water.
while the destruction of the smaller YES
sells was going on by 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 fleet 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.

ron could catch up to it.
Zone of the bravest things and prettiest
sights that one could well 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 admirals ultimatum."

entrance of Manila bay and took possession

vite As the Baltimore, following the Olym-
pia, made its turn the battery of 9.2-inch
Krupp guns on the lunette of Manila opened
fire.
''The first shot passed over and beyond the
flagship Olympia. This fire was kept up
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 feet at Cavite, six
miles distant. When the Olympia reached

position it opened with its forward turret

STORY OF THE BATTLE.

Told In q Few Words by Capt. COEh-
Ian, of the Raleigh.
Capt. Joseph b. Coghlan, who commanded
the cruiser Raleigh during the battle, has
furnished what is perhaps the best short &C.
count OF the famous engagement. He says:
'The Olympia, at about IL so of April
50, passed Ell Fraile rock, small islet near
the southern side of the entrance, upon
which three-gun battery of 4.7-inch Hon.
toria guns had been erected. Next passed
the Baltimore in its line.
The Raleigh came next and was abreast
Of the rock at 1910 a. m. of May ]. As it
swung into the wake of the Olympia at 1918
4. 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
FL Fraile in about the same direction.
"The Raleigh then, at l2:l5 a. M, at a
distance of about 500 yards, fired the first
shot on the American side in the Philippine
campaign. Ell Fraile battery continued firing
as the squadron passed, the Concord and
Boston firing as they came by.
I'm all about six shots were fired at the
main body of the feet, and answered by
about the same number. As the McCulloch
came into line it also fred several shots from
ITS tnree-lncn nelu guns, with which IL ha0
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 McCul,och answered
%. X The feet being by the batteries and
over the mines a speed of four knots was
signaled.
''The whole squadron passed up the bay
at this speed, steering to avoid the shoals on
the southern side of the bay and expecting to
be about eight miles from Manila at day
light. 1t was a night of the most strained
suspense. Signal lights were being shown
from all along the southern side of the bay,
showing that the squadron's movements
were being observed and reported.
s"The crews of the various vessels were
ordered to lie down alongside the guns and
get what rest was possible. Moving slowly
up the bay the squadron was in front of
Manila at FIVE a. m, daybreak. 1t was imme-
diateiy seen that none of the Spanish feet
was in that vicinity.

THE BATTLE OF MANILA.
It Was Won without the Loss Of
SINGLE American Life.

Single American Life.
The story of the battle of Manila reads
almost like piece of fiction. On the morn.
ing of May l, 1893, Commodore Dewey
steamed into the harbor. His squadron
consisted of the cruiser Olympia (fiagship),
Raleigh, Baltimore and Boston, and gun
boats Concord and Petrol, and the revenue
cutter McCulloch, with two transports.
Here he met the Spanish feet, consisting of
the Reina Cristina, Castillo, Don Antonio
de Ulloa, Isla de Luzon, Isla de Cuba, Gen.
Lezo, Marquis de Duero, Cano, Velasco, Isla
de Mindanao, some small gunboats and a
transport. The total tonnage of the Amer
lean fleet was l9,O98 tons and that of the
Spanish real fighting ships was S,722 tons,
but the latter had the support of heavy and
well-mounted shore batteries. The result
of the battle was the entire destruction of all
the Spanish vessels and the silencing of the
land batteries. Commodore Dewey did not
lose ship ror man, while the Spanish lost

ton being nearest in, was ordered to lead.
The Concord was directed to 60 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.

opening on the batteries as their guns could
be brought to bear, driving the Spanish
troops ont of the fortifcations and sileneing
everything in that vicinity. During the sec

luty April 10, 1861, eight days before Fort
Sumter was fired upon.
He is now 62 years old and native of
Vermont. He was appointed to the naval
academy from that state in September, 1857
When he was graduated four years later he

He received his commission as lieutenant
when he was assigned to duty on the MIS-

dron. When Farragut's feet 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-
lssippi ever took part occurred in March,
1863, when the fleet 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
fred upon by the shore batteries, being
forced to retreat. But the Mississippi did
not attempt to get up into the channel. Il
was foggy day, made more obscure by the
smoke of battle. The sloop lost its bearings
and ran ashore. Before its officers were
aware of it it had struck directly under the
guns of battery which was one of the
strongest of the Notifications. It was only
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
ting it on fire.
Dewey got his first command in 1870, when
he performed special service with the Mar
ragansett. He made surveys of the Pacific
.oast until 1876, when he became light.
house inspector, afterwards being the Sec
rotary of the lighthouse board. During
1929 he commanded the Juniata on the
Atlantic station.
In September, 1884, Lieut.. Dewey was
made a 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-
NAMED unchanged then until 1893, when
he became member of the lighthouse
board. He received his commission as COM
modore February %, 1895, being about the
same time made president of the board of
inspection and survey, which position he
occupied until January, 1893, when he was
placed in command of the Asiatic squadron.
