Dewey should have : loved two i r three clay-; sooner than ne dill, and two or three- clays se?n.climes are vital. But our VTaah* i officials were ? air aroueed to the neceeolty of giving Admiral I - an order by ai >gram from Dewey informing them that the British gov? ernor e.f Hongkong Insisted that our Heel must leave there. We were so dened by the immediate exlgencl war that the English government had to prod us lti the- ribs t<? wake us up. Then our Washington authorities la? med nu order and n<>t till then. They told Dewey t<> proceed to the Philip? pine Islands and capture or destroy the Spanish Meet. In other words, they gave him the stereotyped war or? der in the phraseology of the signal code, which, literally translated, read: "Go ahead and do the beat you can. We give it up."?Collier's.
