The victory at 'Manila bay gave you rank -with the most distinguished naval heroes of all times. A Crucial Tent. "Nor was your merit alone in the brilliant victory which you achieved In a battle fought with the utmost gallantry and skill , waged without error and crowned with over whelming success. It was still more In the nerve with which you sailed from Hong Kong to Manila harbor ; In the spirit of your conception of attack : In your high , commanding confidence as a leader who had weighed every risk and prepared for every I omergonc'y. and who also had that unfaltcr- | Ing determination to win , and that utter I freedom from the thought or possibility of I swerving from his purpose , 'which ' are the I very assurance of a victory. No captain ever ! faced a moro crucial test than you , when on that morning , bearing the fate and honor of ] your country In your hand , thousands of I miles from home , with every foreign port In I the world shut to you , nothing between you and annihilation , but the thin sheathing of your ships , your cannon and your devoted officers and men , you mowed down the en emy's batteries on shore and on sea with un flinching faith and nerve , and , before the sun was half way up In the heavens , had sl- lencod the guns of the foe , sunk the hostile fleet , demonstrated the supremacy of the j American sea power and transferred to the United States an empire of the Islands of the Pacific. "Later , by your display of largo powers of administration , by your polso and prudence and by your great discretion , not only In act , but also in word , which Is almost moro Important , you proved yourself a great , rep resentative cltl7.cn of the United States , as well as now Its great naval hero. The lus ter of the American navy was gloriously bright before and you have added to It h new luater. Its constellation of stars was elorloufl before and you have added to It another star of the first magnitude. And yet many of your grateful countrymen feel that In the time to come It may be youi still greater honor that you struck tlio first blow , under the providence of God , In the entrenchment of those beautiful Islands which make the great empire of the sea ; In relieving them from the bondage and op. presalon of centuries and In putting them on their way under the protecting ehleld of your country's guidance to take their place in tha civilization , the arts , the Industries , the liberties and all the good things of the must enlightened nnd happy nations ot the world , so that generations hence your name shall be to them a household word , en- nhrlned In their history and In their hearts.

Whutovor the passing tribulations and difficulties of the present moment they will In duo time coon and surely give way to the glorious dawn of anew now day , a day not o"f any more selfish Im perial dominion of people over another , but of nn Imperial mental and physical growth and expansion of all the peoples whatever their race or language or color , who have come under the shelter of the broad shield of the United States of America. "Ily authorizing the presentation of this sword to you as the mark of Its approval , your country has recognized therefore not only the great , rich fruits , which even before returning from your victory you have poured Into her lap , but also her responsibility to discharge the great trust which Is thus put upon her and fulfill the growth ot her em pire that la now her charge. It Is a de mand upon all the resources of her con science , wisdom nnd courage. It Is a work in the speedy and beneficent consumma tion of which he Is entitled to the cordial help , ympatby and uplift of all her cltUens , not the talnt-heartod doubts and teasing cavils of any ot them. It Is a work on which she has entered In the interests of early peace In these now lands , their stable government , the establishment In them of law and order and the security of life and property and the American standards ot prosperity and homo. "Let those who fear remember that though her children , guided by you , took the wings of the morning and dwelt In the uttenmost parts of the sea , even there the hand of our father's God shall lead them and His right hand hold them. In this work. In view of the great part you have taken In the sudden development of her sovereignty , your full knowledge of the situation and the just hold you have on the hearts of all her people , she looks for your continued service and lis tens for your counsel In the high hopb and purpose that the triumphs of her peace shall bo even greater than her triumph in war. 1'roMi-iitH ( lie Sword. "It Is my good fortune , under the terms of the enactment of congress , to have the honor of presenting to you this beautiful sword. If , during the many coming years which I trust will bo yours , of useful service to your country , It shall remain In peace , oa God grant It may , that fact will perhaps be duo moro than anything else to the thorough ness with which you hoyo already done Its work. I congratulate you on your return across tlio sea In full health of mind and body to receive It here ; hero In the national capital ; hero on these consecrated steps where Lincoln stood ; hero standing between the statue of the first president of the United States and him who is the living president today ; hero In this 'beautiful ' city adorned with the statues of its statesmen and heroes the number Incomplete until your own Is added ; hero amid this throng of citizens who are only a , typo of the millions nnd millions moro who are animated by the same spirit of affectionate and grateful welcome.

" The president handed the admiral the sword with a deep bow and there was a roar of applause as Dewey received It. The crowd was hushed as ho turned to reply. He said : "I thank you , Mr. President , for this great honor you have conferred upon mo. I thank the congress for what It has done.
