Washington. May I (Special cor
ceapondence) Twenty years ago to
day Admiral Dewey consummated tbo
Itack assigned him by Theodore Roos
levelt, "to iieek Iho enemy fleet and
Jdantfoy It." Ileforo that historic
HNt, all the world had been spelling
the name of the principal port In the
I Phlllipplnea "Manila." An noon as
I official report of the battle had been
published, the world learned that It
I had been In error, and the people of
this country took delight In declaring
that "Dewey knocked 'L' out of Man
ila "
Many thot at the time, and perhaps
atill think that after Dewey had ac
complished the talk aaalgned, he
should have sailed away, leaving the
Philippines to their fate, and avoid
ing what later came to be known as
"the white man's burden." But
Dewey didn't. He wasn't the "Mil
way" kind. Me stuck around that
vicinity, and subsequent events have
fully demonstrsted his wisdom as a
first class fighting man.
It will be remembered that soon
after Hewey took possession of Manila
I Bay, a German fleet came quietly In
a ll'-i-i hiipcrior In -I n-nttt li lei tli.it
I wlili li Dewey commanded. It was
under Hie command of Admiral inn
DledrlcliH. Dewey made a courteous
I Inquiry as to the reason why a fleet
I superior to his own had come upon
I the scene, and the German admiral
replied Unit he was there "by order
of the Kaiser." With continued
courtesy, Dewey Informed von I I . i -
rlcliH that If Germany was seeking
war, she could have It.
In accordance with his rights un
der International law, and In order
to protect the Interests of the United
Stales, Dewey eetabltahed certain
port regulations, portlrularlf with s
view to enforcing the blockade. He
assigned each visiting sblp to a parti
cular anchorage. One of von DM
rich' subordinates was careless or
.nnuci.nl In observing the regulations
ami wus notified by Dewey that he
huh lil lire upon the first vessel of
whatever nationality thus disobeyed!
the rules. He did. In fact, fin
across the bow of a ship moving Into
forbidden waters There was n ,
further trouble and as soon as lu
could do so without seeming to lisve
been driven nut. nn Oledrlchs steam
ed S..
one of the lilNtrolc Incidents of that
: meeting between Dewey and von1
nieilrli lm was the action of Admiral
Chichester of the Krlthish nay, who.
win 'i the German asked him what
I his attitude would be In case of host-
I il. tie., gave answer by placing his
.flagship between ion Dleilrlrb and
the Olympla. Deyy a flagship The
Kulser'a representative appreciated1
the fact that to fire ut the Stars snd
Htrlpes, serosa the I'lilon Jack nienl
fight from both, and Germany wan nut
needy then "Der Tag" had uoi eaj
.arrived.
In hi report to the Navy Depart
ment concerning all thai hapened at
Maiilla, Admiral Dewey related a
boast made by a Gorman captain,
that twenty years from then Germany
would begin a world war. It was In
fad Just Is years leas one month
from the dale of that prophesy that
Hie United Slates entered the con
nect thus foretold.
There has beeu an luiportaul ili
cloure since Hist time. In connection
with the visit of the German fleet.
It seems that Germany bad long cov
eted the Philippines, and, when war
broke out between Spain and the j
I'ulted States, closed a bargain for H e
purchase of the Inland. bating f MM
