Dewey to Remain at Manila Until He Applies for Relief
Washington reports Navy Department officials will not relieve Admiral Dewey at Manila until he formally requests relief. The policy aims to keep him focused on completing operations in the Philippines as Otis and Lawton push the campaign. Dewey has aided the army with Cebu and Negron, and only minor ports remain for capture. A close blockade will halt insurgent munitions, with Lawton’s Manila landing and ongoing expeditions closing the campaign. The bureau notes no foundation for replacing Dewey is present, and the end of his task is near with cooperation between ships and army.
