THE GREAT GLORIES OF MANILA
Plea for Revival of Grade of Ad
miral For Dewey Size of Vic
tory Strain Cool Friend.
The following splendid tetter was
'written to Senator Perkins of Califor
nia and published in the Army and
Navy Journal:
U. S. S. Charleston,
Cavite, P. I., Oct. 30, 1898.
jMy dear Governor: I am sure you
will allow me to take up a small
amount of. your time in asking you
to ido all in your power to have Con
gress confer upon Read Admiral Dew
ey a reward approaching the value
of the great services .he has rendered
to our country. I speak not only as
a naval officer in this, but as a Cali
fomian, for Admiral Dewey in his ac
tion of May 1, the most brilliant and
far-reaching in its effect of modern
jiaval battles, was defending our "West
ern porta and securing the whole Pa
cific Coast against any possible Span
ish attack.
Of the battle of Manila May 1, I
need say few words, as all the world
recognizes its paramount importance
In the late war, but when one reraem
lers that the Admiral, with a squad
ron of only six cruisers, over 7,000
miles from a home port, or place of
repairs to his ships, entered the bay
ot Manila, passing iheavy batteries and
crossing submarine mines by which
the bay was defended" in order to reach
ihis enemy, who had a' greater number
of vessels with every advantage of po
sition, supported iby well placed bat
teries on shore, it is seen that Dewey's
victory haa no parallel in naval his
tory. And the completeness with which
the work is done, without the loss of
a man on our side, is, and will always
be, a surprise to men who study naval
actions. The conditions had been so
well understood by the Admiral, and
his plans so thoroughly matured, that
on sailing from Hong Kong he was

able to fix practically the ho;ir at
which ho would attack th Spanish
fleet, ami had to give few orders in
action beyond those to follow his t.z
and to close in on the enemy.
After the battle of May 1 can a
long period of anxious waiting and
exposure for the Admiral, who had it
in his power to compel the surrender
of Manila at any moment, l ut had
not the force to preserve order in a
city of 200,000 people and at th some
time guard the vital interests und.-r
his charge. Holding the city and hay
in a grip of steel, from which there
was no escape, in the face of the thin
ly disguised hostility of the naval force
of a pretended friendly power. Dewey
showed patience, resolution, unerring
judgment in every phase of the situ
ation, and a readiness to meet all con
ditions and act for the highest inter
ests of the country that have never
been surpassed by any military leader,
of our own or any other nation.
The surrender of Manila, and with
it practically the Philippine Islands,
was the result of Dewey's plans, and,
as he commenced the active operations
of the .brilliant war with a victory, he
closed it in a most appropriate fashion
by securing all the fruits of that vic
tory.
Our country is always ready to ap
plaud gallantry In battle, and no voice
was raised against the action of Con
gress in promptly carrying out the
President's recommendation to give to
Commodore Dewey the thanks of the
country and to advance him to the
grade of Rear Admiral. But Congress
and the President, all unwittingly we
must believe, did not see that their
action practically failed to do what
they intended. The Admiral was pro
moted two numbers on the Navy Reg
ister, a smaller promotion than was
given his juniors, he received his pro
motion only four months sooner than
he would have attained the rank of
Rear Admiral had he remained quiet
ly ashore during the war, and finally
the thanks of Congress carried no ad
ditional service, as such action did
during the war between the States,
when men far interior to Dewey were
given ten years' extra service.
It is not too late to correct the mis
take made, and it seems only neces
sary to state the case to secure prompt
action by Congress; action that wo.ild
be applauded by the country at large
and appreciated by the naval service
as lan act of justice.
The grade of Admiral was crea:cd
in our Navy for Farragut, who was the
leading naval officer of the world in
his day. His true successor in me.-u.
and in the grateful appreciation of
his country, is Dewey, and as the
grade of Admiral was expressly cro-
