Good News From Dewey and the German Ship Irene
A Dewey dispatch notes favorable readiness shown by Admiral Dewey after the presentation of the ships Raleigh and Concord. The American vessels outperform the German Irene in tonnage and gun power, with conjecture that the Irene’s retirement was policy driven rather than due to force. The Raleigh and Concord carried about 1,300 men and departed the bay, as a stern note is issued from Dewey.
