May I. A bushel basket would not begin to hold the letters and messages of felicitation and good wishes that poured In upon v Admiral George Dewey todar on the tentn anniversary of the battle of Manila bay. Many of the messages were from personal friends, Others came from 'admirers scattered throughout the country. The unusual number of the greetings was probably due In large measure to the appeal recently issued by the New York Alumni, association of Lafayette college, . calling upon municipalities and Institu tions of learning throughout the United States to observe "Dewey Pay" by for warding a message of love and sym pathy to the hero jof Manila bay.;. ; 1 -The-n Htot iftMaaHa, Bay on jomJUI 181)8, wrought a great cnange in me career of the United States as a worl.l power. However unforeseen me y have been the -events which lollowea. tnose In authority inj 1898 were by no means unaware or the immediate possi mimes of. the program which caused Commo dore Dewey to hold his ships at Hong kong, where he had assembled bis force of the Asiatic squadron during the lat ter part of February It is now well understood that the policy of strength ening and providing these - ships with ammunition was urged upon the govern ment bv Theodore Roosevelt, then as sistant secretary of the navy. In view of the more immediately interesting 4 events close at hand the operations in the Astatic waters were almost forgot ten by the general public. . - Only a languid Interest was taken m the report that Commodore Dewey had been ordered by the British government to leave Hongkong, although war had not then been formally declared. When President McKinley Issued a proclama tion of war Dewey sailed from Hong kong for Mlrs bay, a neighboring har bor, and there prepared for his work. The government ordered Dewey to at tack and destroy the Spanish fleet. It was not known how dangerous this force might be to American shipping In the Paelnc In any event, the -Philippine Islands were Spanish territory, and us such were open to attack as a means of weakening the enemy. Furthermore, Dewey was far frem home and needed a harbor for his ships. No better shel ter offered than the harbor of Manila. Tlrst JTews of Battle. When "the first news-of the engage ment In Manila bay arrived. 10 years ago today, after the first wave of na tional exultation cme a feeling of ap prehension. For the first time In a f reat many years an American naval oree had engaged a foreign enemy, and the country wondered' as to the cost or the victory. It was hoped that It would be light. The esrly reports, relating the. destruction of the Spanish fleet, Indi cated such a heavy fire that the people dreaded lest the details would bring tiding of a heavy sacrifice of life on the victorious sidp. . Commodore Dewey's prompt action in cutlng the cable held off all details ror days. It was not until one week after the battle, on the 7th of May, that the astounding news came that not a single' life had been lost in the engagement. i Commander Carlos O. Calkins, well known In Portland and wno marnea a Portland girl, was navigating officer of the fleet and to his wide knowledge of Manila harbor and Its freakish cur rents Commodore Dewey was able to sain entrance to the- Inner bay without the slightest trouble. Calkins directing the fleet movements from the bridge of the Olympla. The remarkable disparity of results of the battle was the first revelation to the world of the great superiority not only of the American ships and guns, but of the American gunners as well. A short time later, early In July, the demonstration was repeated, off Santiago, when the fleet under Admiral Sampson destroyed the 8panlsh vessels fleeing from harbor, and with the loss of only a single American seaman In the 10 years that have elaps-jd since the Dewey victory momentou'j changes have occurred. The united States has settled down to an accept ance of a new responsibility. The ma chinery for the evolution of a system of self-government In the Philippines has been set in motion. Schools have been scattered throughout the islands and have materially raised the standard of Intelligence.
