		One of Dewey's friends wrote to him that "[a]ll the children born on the first of May are being named 'Dewey' by their parents." Telegrams and letters of congratulations from friends, relatives, fellow navy veterans from the Civil War, and total strangers were sent to the Pacific in huge numbers.

	The Mock Battle of Manila in the Spanish American War
		Though Admiral Dewey refused to provide either arms or support for the ground campaign, Aguinaldo believed the Americans were his friends and allies in the effort to win Philippine Independence.
		Dewey had Manila blockaded by sea, and within two weeks Aguinaldo's insurgent force of 20,000 Filipinos moved within a few miles of the city to surround it with 14 miles of well placed trenches and fortifications.
		Admiral Dewey referred to them as "the Indians" and promised Washington, D.C. that he would "enter the city and keep the Indians out." In its imperial wisdom, the United States began to see itself more and more as a force bent on protecting the Philippine people from themselves, than as a liberating force.
