Dewey brief seeks bounty for Manila Bay victory over Montejo fleet
Attorneys for Admiral Dewey and the Pacific Squadron personnel filed a brief with the Court of Claims seeking a 382,500 bounty for the defeat of Montejo's fleet. If awarded, Dewey's share would be 8194. The filing argues the Spanish force was stronger when forts and ships are combined, and it notes the crew's heroism navigating mines and dangerous channels.
