Admiral Dewey Likely to Return Home by Suez Route
Washington readers debate how Admiral Dewey should land home from Manila Olympia via the Suez Canal. Supporters favor a grand naval escort to greet him, others propose a quiet arrival at a eastern yard before a public homecoming with receptions. The piece extols Dewey's career from the Narragansett to the Asiatic squadron and notes his wish to travel home by sea lanes through the Mediterranean.
