Dewey Described by Rail Official as Daring Yet Mild Mannered
Andrew Stevens recalls Commodore Dewey as a distinguished looking man about six feet eight inches tall with grey hair and a heavy white mustache. On the Foote during a Chesapeake trial he kept his eyes on a speed instrument, never flinching, earning admiration as a commander born to lead. He is gentle and popular with men, with a temperament more suited to statesmanship than war.

Pigeon Messenger Plan to Arm Warships With Homing Birds
The Navy accepts Edwin F. Baker from Baltimore to supply homing pigeons for war and scout vessels. He estimates 10 000 pigeons can be sourced from Baltimore, Philadelphia, Trenton, Fall River, and Boston. About 1000 birds are in training in Baltimore now. The plan calls for 200 birds per vessel, from different cities, with nearest city birds released first if needed. Messages are carried on aluminium and oiled paper bands on each leg.
