ANDERSON, Ross, Iowa
The following is a clipping from a
recent issue of the Los Angeles (Cali
fornia) Herald, and is a description of
Dewey's Manila victory by John P.
Brotherton, former shipmate of Joshua
Jordan, of near Boss. Mr. Brotherton
was hereon a visit about two years
ago aud formed many pleasant ac
quaintances, who will pe pleased to
hear of his safe return, but regret to
learn of the loss of his eye-sight:
It is a hurrying hungry crowd that usually
alights at the Arcade depot in tbe rooming
from the 7 30 Sao Francisco train. Every man
is intent on his own breakfast and his own busi
ness and has but little hoed for his neighbor.
So it is not probable that many of the passen
gers paid much attention to a pioasant-faced,
elderly looking man, drossed in the uniform of
a petty officer of the United States navy, as,
with the uncertain step of one whose eyesight
is dim, he slowly wont down tho car stops and
out of the depot enclosure Friday morning. His
name is John P. Brotherton and ho is just home
from Manila where ho took part in the great
estof our
country's naval battles
on that memor
able Sunday morning, tho first day of last May.
Mr. Brotherton is an oiler, which rank ho ob
tained by twenty-six years of faithful service in
tho navy. Ho arrived at Maro Island on the re
ceiving ship Independence a few days ago, and
was there granted an honorable discharge from
the service on account of his rapidly failing
vision. The home for his remaining days is a
neat little cottage of his own in Univorsity,
where ho expocts to ljvo with his brother and
tho latter's family. Mr. Brotherton is a very in
teresting man to talk with, hav
ing all of tho easy, natural fluen
cy common to men of tho sea. Ho
received a Herald reporter cor
dially and proceeded to tell his
story which is here given as near
lyas possible in his own language:
Departure
for
the
Orient
I joined tho gunboat Concord, Capt. J. P.
Walker, at Maro Island, on the 4th of last Jan
uary," said Mr. Brotherton. Ou the Ml], wo
left for Honolulu, where wo stopped three days
to take on coal. From there wo sailed for Yo
kohama where we joined the flagship Olympia
and delivered her some ammunition. Then we
went over to Chemulpo, Coreo, and after spend
ing a night there set out for Hong Kong. We
reached there about February 22d and found
the Raloigh and Petrel waiting for us.
I did not get on shore during the time wo
wero at Hong Kong, but I had no trouble find
ing out that the feeling among tlie English
there was very warm toward us, while the
Frenchmen and Spaniards had a good deal of
sympathy for Spain.
"Of course we sailors did a lot of guessing and
talking about a war with Spain, but we really
knew nothing about it until April 15th, when
we got orders to paint the ships war color. A
few days later, after war had been declared, we
received orders from the British government to
get out. We did so and went to Mirs Bay, a
Chinese harbor seven or eight miles from Hong
Kong. Here we waited until Consul Wildman
came up from Manila. He was taken on board
the Baltimore. Tbe Baltimore and the Boston
had joined us a few days before we left Hong
Kong. Then when all was ready
Hong Kong we started out for the Philip-
to
pines. The trip took us about
four days, and on Saturday after-
Manilla noon, April 30th, the Concord and
Boston ran ahead of the rest of
the fleet into Subig bay in the island of Luzon,
about seventy miles north of Manila. Subig bay
resembles the bay of Manila in having a narrow
entrance and good depth of water, although it
is not so large.
All the way down from Mirs bay we had been
throwing overboard things which were only in
the way and could bo of no service in battle,
and by the time we reached Manila bay wo
were in fighting trim. Tbe ships were in fine
condition from top to bottom and the boys
wanted nothing but to get at tho Spaniards.
About midnight we passed Corregidor Island
lying in the entrance to tho bay. Not alight
was to be seen, and though there were batteries
on the island several hundred feet above the
water, and water batteries, too, wo didn't hear
a sound from any of them. But out in the
channel botween Corregidor Island and El
Fraile island there was a spy in a little tug-boat
waiting for us, and when he saw a few sparks
fly from tbe Boston's funnel he sent up two or
three rockets.
"There were three modern five-inch guns
mounted on El Frailo, and they at once opened
fire in the dark. Tho Concord and the Boston
each returned with three shots but none of
them bit. Tho ships entered tho harbor in or
der of seniority—that is, the seniority of tho
captains. The first was the Olympia, then the
Baltimore, Raleigh, Boston, Concord and Pet
rel. After these camc the McCullough and the
transports Zafiro and Nanshaw. These three
wore left about three miles to the roar of the
firing lino when the lighting commenced in the
morning. Well you know the story of tho battle
pretty well. You want me to
The Battle give my impressions of it? It
of just seemed to me wo were going
into a routine target practice.
Manila There was no great excitemont.
Everybody wont about his own business just as
usual. Way down in tbe ship whoro 1 worked
it was very not it was a hot morning anyhow.
But wo didn't have time to think of the heat
there was just one idea for us all and that was
to get in and sink thoso Spanish ships and we
did it.
The firing commenced about half-past 5. We
had not had a thing to eat, not even a cup ,of
coffoo. At 7:30 wo pulled off, but wo had
stayed with the work until every one of tho ene
my ships was ruined or sunk. Then we ato
breakfast. There wasn't much of it, but what
thare was was good beef tea and the sort of
things that brace a man up.
As soon as the firing ceased the command
ing officers of each ship were summoned to the
flagship. You can imagine tho admiral's sur
prise when they reported no ono killed or badly
hurt. He congratulated each of the captains
on their fine work, and told tliom to do tho
same for bim to their crews. Oh, I tell you the
admiral was just the man for that place! He
knew what ho was doing, and overy man in the
fleet thinks the world of him
It was a beautiful sight to see tho old salt's
face light up with pleasure and devotion as he
spoke of his beloved ex-commander. One hear
ing him could not doubt tho sincority of his
words.
When the captain came back I tell you there
was a lot of cheering. Tho boys were crazy and
cbeored and sang and said what they thought.
Of course some of 'om usod kind o' strong lan
guage but I remember well ono fellow who
said: Well fellers, I feel as though we've got
those pepper eaters to tho bottom at last.'
You see, during tho fight the boys didn't suy
much, but tlioy turned loose afterward. On the
way down the captain read us the proclamation
of tho captain general of the Philippines. Con
sul Wildman had brought a copy of it with him
from Manila. It called us Americans pigs, sav
ages, cut-throats and everything that was bad,
and
I
tell you it riled us up a whole lot.
About 9 o'clock we went back
into action again and in half an
hour the forts at Cavite were
done up. Wo hadn't been through
very long boforo the insurgents
got in and took everything in
sight that they nould carry off—organs, pianos,
sewing machines, everything you could think of.
Capture
of
Cavite
I have a picture here which I took from the
commandant's house. They would liavo had
that if it hadn't been so high on tho wall that
they probably didn't see it.
"Tnat evening (Sunday) just before sunset a
boat hove in sight, coming into the harbor.
Dewey sent out the Concord and the Raleigh
with the instructions: Find out what that ship
is. If she is a German, warn her off if she is
English, admit her if she is Spanish, capture
her.' So you see that even thon Dewey had his
suspicions of the Germans.
"But as wo drew near to the vessel wo noticed
smoko rising from her farther side. Wo went
to look it up and found that it was a Spanish
tug, evidently trying to escape past our fleet by
hugging close to tho side of the larger ship. Wo
took lior commander on board the Concord and
found out afterward that he was the same who
had caught us entering tho channel tho night
before and that ho had this same tug at the
time. The ship was an English gunboat, but I
don't remember her name.
"The Olympia and the Petrel did most of the
work in reducing the forts, and the next day

the Olympia's marines landed and took posses
sion.
Mr. Brotherton liimsolf did not go ashore
until the 8th, a woek after tho battle, but he
brings with him a number of interesting souve
nirs of his visit, such as a long, wicked-looking
Mauser cartridge, a Hotchkiss rapid-tiro shell,
a Spanish belt buckle of brass with a crown and
crossed cannons and balls upon it. He tolls an

Bay.
aQd
Raleigh left Manila on
July 7th. \Ye steamed up tho coast and as we
were ontenng Subig bay the German cruiser
Irene came swiftly out and hurried off to the
north. She had not oven waited to hoist an
chor, but slipped hor cable.
"With our battle-flags flying we hoadod for
Grande island in the bay, where we knew there
wero some Spanish soldiers. Thero wore some
works thrown up near the water and after
ward wo found several five-inch guns there un
mounted. But not a soldior was to be seen. Fi
nally Capt.. Coagland of tho Kalcigh gave tho
signal to open fire. Tho Concord sent two throe
inch, shells into the barracks ou tho hill, fifty
or sixty feet above tho water, fairly blowing
tho end off the building. Then those fellows
swarmed out of there like hornets. There wero
C00 of them. They surrendered to us on condi
tion that we should not turn tliom over to the
insurgents at Subig. Wo were just going to
take them on board when somo insurgent boats
camo up from Manila, claiming authority from
Dewey to take them. Our captains were doubt
ful about tins, so after taking their arms wo
left them on the island, where they could not
get away, and went back to Manila to see the
admiral. He said that ho had given the insur
gents orders to take the captured soldiers and
that wo should givo them up. So tho insurgents
brought them down to Manila."
Mr. Brotherton has ono of tho captured rifles.
It is an old Sharps' 45. Instead of lead, the
Spaniards had brass balls for their cartridges,
in direct violation of international law. Mr.
Brotherton has one of them and it is a very ug
ly-looking affair. He also shows a bamboo
cano with a solid silver head, carried by ,i cap
tured Spanish sergeant.
Being asked of his opinion of tho Spanish
soldiers, Mr. Brotherton said
They are a queer lot of fel-
Spanish lows, and keep very quiet after
•tnlriiorc
tl,ey
nre
captured. The ones we
took up at Grande island did not
seem much jut out about com­
ing with us, but when they were turned over to
the insurgents they seemed to lose all heart.
But tlie whole thing shows what kind of men
wo have and the kind of stuff behind our guns.
And it shows, too, the result of plenty of hard
work at tho targets, where every man has to do
his share of practice."
Mr. Brotherton retires from liis life on the
sea with many interesting mementos gathered
in all lands and many recollections of tilings
seen and done, but of all these, proudest and
most precious to him are tho things and the
thoughts which carry his mind back to that
Sunday morning in May when he fought with
Dewey in Manila bay.
