OF the Navy for the services rendered by
Commander Dillingham;. Lieutenant Lei
per and the officers Of the Detroit for their
protection Of American interests and execu-
stion Of the requests Of the legation during
the revolutionary troubles. -.
Il can say, says Minister Powell, that
there is no Officer in kst1es American navy
more popular with the Dominican people
than Commander Dillingham;. His action
fat Sesua In stating to both parties, -outside
of this line you gan fight; inside of this line
is American property; this defend" re-
suited In there being no lighting near tins
/ 1.-THE next instance was the assault on
Puerto Plata, when he infoI med the insur-
gents that he would take charge of the fort
and that IL they wanted to fight they must
go outside of the town and do 1t, and he
would give the fort to the side that won;
rather novel way of settling or evening
up matters. fortunately, the government
troops proved the better fighters and Sc
cured the fort. This event may be said
to have been the turning point In the gov
erpment's favor. :
Here he struck another popular chord.
Learning of the memorial service to the
dead heroes who fell. on April 49, 1903, and
learning that he and his officers were to be
invited to the same, HE had made very
handsome wreath51or- crown as they are
called; then had 1t suitably inscribed, ana
the next morning with all the officers from
his ship that could be spared, and with 100
Of his crew, landed at the city wharf TO

and side by side they were carried from the
wharf to the church,. guard OF honor
carried the two -wreaths, one for the DO
minfcan heroes; the other for u: c. john
son. Arriving at the church, the Dominican
wreath was placed by Commander Dining
ham at the base of the catafalque. This
simple act on his part touched the hearts OF
all Dominicans, Irrespective of any par
ticular faction, andxwas commented upon
by all Through It our country made
friends among all classes.
''But aside from this incident, our lega-
ton is Indebted to, him for carrying out all
