Long voyage of the Dewey ends in the Philippines in 1905
The Dewey towed a fleet to the Philippines arriving after 193 days at sea. It left from Santo Domingo Bay in late 1905 and faced two major drydock dangers. Storms near the Canaries caused towline breaks and the hulk drifted. Repairs in Las Palmas delayed progress before Suez and finally Singapore and Sabang guided the fleet toward Manila.

Pension Plea Tied to Oil Trust Influence in Washington
Lawrence Nicolai, former National Oil Company proprietor, testified before a Washington bankruptcy referee that Standard Oil paid him 3000 dollars annually to refrain from selling oil and gasoline in the District. He claimed the pension ceased when the trust lowered prices, leading to his bankruptcy, and alleged two other Washington firms, though not saying they belong to the trust, are controlled by Standard. He also said several earlier firms, now out of business, are receiving pensions from the trust.
