ScnOr Dewey, who is believed to have
been an American, came sailing into
the harhor with an armada, aud with
out even saving gooi morning to our
brave ADMIRAL, he ordered his ships TO
open fire.
"Caramba, but that i Yankee
trick - shouted tho admiral 10 those
around him and he at once srdored his
guns 20 reply.
The Battle listed FOR hours The
waters Of the bay were red with blood
Victory was within the noble span
iards, and Senior Dewey had already
ordercd his few remaining ships to
surrender, when 10 IL was discovered
that our heroic sailors were out OF
cigarets and cuss words. The admiral
raved and stormed, but Il was no use.
Senor Dewey saw how 10 was, aud he
was encouraged TO fight on. and Mt
last, rather than continue the noise.
which was pain nful TO many sick per-
sons ia the city, our gallant admiral
concluded TO surrender. In doing so.
however, he stipulated that nonc Of
his heroic band should be fed on clam
chowder or exhibited in dime museum.
and thus spanish honor Iyns snvcd In a
great nation. The enemy lost three
ships AID ten men TO our one, and
there was nothing for him TO exult
over Had Senior Dewey been gen
tleman he would have sent word that
he was coming but who ever heard of

1t is needless To remark that our mar
unanimous government promoted every
sailor OF the feet, and ordered n medal
weighing three pounds TO be struck
of for every officer.
