Admiral Dewey's
Own Story of How
He " on Battle

January 3, 1898, Commodore Dewey
took command OF the Asiatic squadron
at NaKasaki Japan il was as # the
fate that had sent him there had given
him warning OF what was In store for
him, for he began at once a Clamor
for more ammunition. But, in spite
of his repeated appeals. II was not
until the day before the war was de-
tciared with Spain that the cruiser Bal
| timore brought him enough shot and
| shell to risk battle. AS It was, he
sailed from Hongkong to fight against
/ one OF the oldest of the worlds sea
powers with only 60 per cent OF the
fun complement OF ammunition in his
vessels magazines.
Dewey's Squadron Faces Enemy.
There were four protected cruisers
In Dewey's squadron-the Olympia his
flagship: the Baltimore. the Raleigh
and the Boston. He had also the Con-
cord. an unprotected cruiser; the gun
boat Petrol and tho revenue cutter Nc
Culloch.
Against him Ia Manila Harbor were
seven Spanish vessels and behind
them the guns of the fortificattons.
On the night OF April 80 the COM
modore sailed into Boca Grande. the
main channel into Manila Harbor,
and, with the same disregard to the
talk OF 'torpedoes" that his old com
mander. Farragut. had once shown.
drove IN through the darkness toward
the greatest day IN his life.
Excerpts from the admiral's own
account OF the destruction of Montoio's
squadron tell the story:
"A comparison OF the relative
strength Of the two squadrons shows
that we had six ships TO the Span
iards' seven. but we were superior in
class and In ornaments The Span
iards had some twenty-five small gun
boats not brought into action. but
which might have been transformed
into torpedo boats for night attack or
defense of the entrance to the bay
We had ffty-three guns above the
four-inch caHher and the Spaniards
thtrty-one: fifty-six guns under four
inch. TO the Spaniards forty-four;
eight torpedo tubes to the Spaniards'
thirteen; officers and men, 1,456. to
