[Illustration: GOLD MEDAL PRESENTED BY THE AMERICAN NATION TO ADMIRAL DEWEY FOR THE VICTORIOUS BATTLE OF MANILA BAY, 1898.] =The First Chilian Medal.=--This was awarded to the participants in the first campaign, which, as the inscription on the reverse states, covered the inclusive period of ~DE 14 DE FEBRERO DE 1879 A 7 DE JUNIO DE 1880~. This legend is on a blue enamelled ground, in the centre of the silver medal, bordered by a band of red. The five arms of the star are covered with scaling which forms the centre of the panels; the points are tipped with balls; conventional rays are issuant between the arms of the star. On the obverse, in the centre, is a laureated, Grecian head, symbolic of the Republic; it is gilt and encircled by a blue enamelled band bearing the legend ~CAMPAGNA A BOLIVIA I EL PERU~. The decoration depends from a red, ribbed ribbon, and regulation brooches were issued with the medals for suspension. =The Second Chilian Medal.=--For the campaign which resulted in the capture of Lima a silver Cross with five arms was awarded. The terminals of the arms are protected by beads and the panelling is scaled as in the other decoration; issuant between the arms, three leaves of laurel. In the centre of the obverse and reverse is a gilt five-pointed star upon a radiated ground. On one side in a blue enamelled band is the record ~CAMPAGNA DE LIMA 1887~, and on the other ~REPUBLICA DE CHILE~. This decoration depends from a blue ribbon, from a regulation silver buckle brooch. (See facing page 356.) =Tonkin, 1883-5.=--The French medal for the China War of 1883-5 bears on the obverse, within a wreath of laurel, with ribbon entwined, the head of "the Republic," helmeted and laureated, with the word PATRIE on the forehead.
