Secretary Lone ¢ > out his reply to Dewey, which has been cabled by direction of the President, as follows: ** Washington, May 7.—Dewey, Manila: The President, in the name of the American people, thank you and your of- ficers and men for your splendid achievement and overwhelm- ing victory. In recognition he has appointed you acting admiral and will recommend a vote of thanks to you by cone gress.—Long.”” THEY CHEERED FOR THE HERO. As the last word of the dispatch was uttered several of the onlookers called for three cheers for Dewey. They | were given with a will, and the usual official serenity of the |navy department for the moment was broken by a round of cheers which fairly shook the building. Assistant Secretary Vanderlip has received a cable from a friend who was on the McCulloch during the great nayal engagement in Manila, in which he says: ‘*The Spanish fleet of eleven war ship was destroyed totally.
