MANILA BAY, MAY |, 1898

Twenty years ago, May list, in the
early morning, Admiral George Dewey,
in command of the American Asiatic
squadron, gave the now famous order,
''You may fire when you're ready,
Gridley.'
And the Battle OF Manila Bay was
on. Perhaps the term battle" is ex-
travagant as the Spanish ships were
entirely destroyed with no loss or men
on the American 81 Ups.
Just as when the skillfui surgeon,
after years of training, carefully
chooses his Instruments. makes all
necessary preparation and in few mo
ments successfully concludes COM
piicatea operation. The American ships
were grooned for the fight, decks
scrubbed guns polished, sailors alert,
officers calm The destruction of the
Spanish ships was a partial response to
the slogan of that war, Remember
the Maine"
1t was said that the admiral of the
German fleet then lying in the Manila
Bay was itching for a chance TO get
into the scrap but was restrained by
Dewey's vigorous threat. The Ger
man admiral contentel himself by
prophesying that Germany would be al
war with the United States inside OF
twenty years which has proved him TO
be O better prophet than fighter
1t is unfortunate that the navy IN
the present war has had no opportu-
nifty to excell the record of Admiral
Dewey at Manila Bay.

The nation did not paue a moment
yesterday to reflect that three years
ago 115 American citizens persisted
when the ruthless had of Kaiserism
terpedoed the passenger vessel Lus-

of the Lusi5ania and scores of similar
outrages against humanity, has been
cleared forever from the earth.
