Admiral Dewey's Own Story
of How He Destroyed Foes
in Battle of Manila Bay

January 8, 1898, Commodore Dewey
took command Of the Asiatic squadron
at Nagasaki, japan. 1t was as II 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, 1t was not
until the day before war was declared
with Spain that the cruiser Baltimore
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 full complement
of ammunition in his vessels maga-
zines.
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-
boat Petrol and the revenue cutter Nc
Cu1loch.
| Against him in Manila harbor were
seven Spanish vessels. and behind them
the guns of the Notifications.
On the night of April 80 the COM
modore sailed into Boca Grande. the
main channel into Manila har6or, ana,
with the same disregard to the talk
of "torpedoes" that his old commander.
Farragut, had once shown. drove In
through the darkness toward the great
est day in his life.
Excerpts from the admirafs own ac-
count of the destruction of MontoJo'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 armaments. 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.
I've had flfty-three guns above the
four-inch caliber and the Spaniards
thirty-one; f1fty-six guns under four
inch, to the Spaniards' forty four:
eight torpedo tubes, to the Spaniards'
thirteen; officers and men, LASS, to the
Spaniards' 1.447.
