proud of being an American citizen. Do you remember the day when Dewey
sailed into Manila Bay to capture or destroy the enemy's fleet? You
might have seen the admiral standing on the bridge calmly giving his
orders. He did not even wait until the mines should be removed from the
harbor's mouth, but sailed in at once. Let us not despair of our country
while such valor exists, and may the future add new glories to the past.
