f. Lee, August Broacker William A.

Past Department Commander J. Walter
Mitchell of the Spanish War Veterans,
who will preside. The valiant deeds of
Admiral Dewey and his brave men behind
received the telegram from Secretary of
the Navy Long saying that he must
capture or destroy the Spanish fleet,
causing Admiral Montojo to strike his
colors in defeat.
The search for the Spanish fleet proved
to be a difficult task. even after Dewey
had arrived in Manila bay on account of
a heavy fog which enveloped it, and
he had even gone SO far as to think of
leaving. Montojo's fleet consisted of the
Reina Crstina, Don Juan de Austria.
Isla de Cuba. Isla de Luzon. Don Antonio
de Ulloa. Velasco. Duero and LEGO. The
American fleet consisted of the Olympia.
Boston, Raleigh. Baltimore, Concord.
Petrol, Nanshan, Zafiro and the revenue
cutter Mccullough. The battle began at
the Spaniards, which did no damage.
Fire When You're Ready.
When the Americans were well within
| range Admiral Dewey turned to the
commander of his ship and said: when
you are ready you may fire, Gridley"
Immediately the forward guns of the
Olympia. the flagship. spoke, and the
! battle was on in earnest.
! The American admiral kept his ships in
motion. to avoid furnishing permanent
targets for the enemy. The Spanish ad-
miral followed suit. Thus the fight devel-
| oped into a running one. Five times the
ships passed the enemy, and at 7:45 am.
| Dewey withdrew in order that his men
might rest and get breakfast.
Two hours later he resumed the fight,
which lasted until 1:O5 pm, at which
time Admiral Montojo struck his colors.
| 1t was brilliant success for the Ameri-
cans The great battle had been won
with the loss Of but a single man. The
/ Spanish lost or had captured all their
ships and GOO sailors had been killed.

until Senator Depew had obtained the adoption
of an amendment providing $4,000 for the con-
struction OF a new revenue cutter to take the

The Senate also considered the Elkins Joint

though there is little expectation that it will pass
