Messages Pour From Friends

Washington. 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. The United States navy
In the same period has been almost
rimihled In strength and the feat or
end In it a mammoth battleship fleet on
a vovage around the world? has at
tracted universal attention? and coin
ment.
Many Changes.
Ten .vears also have wrought a great

American navy.' Of the captains, none
