ITALIAN CRUISER GIOVANNI BAUsAN.
Brazil sends two vessels. Her flagship is


the turret battleship Aquidaban, vessel
which formed one of the Brazilian squadron
which came to America two years ago, aft
er the fall of the Emperor Dom Pedro, to
announce the new republic. Brazil's other
vessel is the Jamanderi, a 270-foot-long pro
tected cruiser The United Netherlands
send one vessel, the ironclad Van Speyk.
The Argentine Republic also sends one, the
Nueve de Julio. Portugal, Denmark, China
and Japan have also notified our govern
ment that they will be represented, but
have not signified the name and style of
their vessels. Altogether not less than 60
of the greatest warships in the world will
be present.
At the head of the line as the fleet sweeps
up New York bay, will be the cruiser Phil
adelphia, flagship of Admiral Bancroft
Gherardi who will be director general of
the review. On the Goth the feet will move
up to the review anchorage on the Hudson
river, where small buoys, numbered, will
mark the anchorage of each ship. The an
chorage will extend from Thirty-fourth
street to Eighty-ninth street. During the
afternoon of the Goth all final arrangements
will be completed and the last orders is
sued. At s a. m. of the 27th all the vessels
will hoist colors and dress ship" in unison.
AT 10:30 n. m. President Cleveland will go
aboard the Dolphin at the Twenty-fourth
street landing and the review will begin.
AS the Dolphin moves off she will fire her
signal gun, and the Miantonomoh will
respond with one of her 10inch guns. All
the yards will be manned on all the vessels,
and the Dolphin will move up through the
fleet. AS she comes even with each ship
in turn the order will be present arms,
sound four hourishes, officers and crew sa-
lutte, and the band plays the national air
AT the last flourish begins 2l-gun salute.
After the Dolphin has passed up flag and
commanding officers will leave their ships
to pay their respects to the president on the
Dolphin when she anchors. Fifteen min
utes before the president lands from the
Dolphin preparatory signal will be made
from the ship, and as he leaves the ship
every vessel in the fleet will man yards or
rail and fire salute following the motion
of the Dolphin. With the last gun the
presidents flag comes down, and the cere-
monies of the day are ended. In the even
ing there will be an exhibition of search
lights from to $3.50 and of Very and Ar
dois' night signaling between $50 and 0.
Of course the entire space of the Hudson
occupied by the parade will be patrolled by
guardboats and traffic suspended for the
time. The three Spanish caravels (repro-
ductions Of those Columbus came in), if
they arrive on time, will have a place Of
honor. After the parade there will many
entertainments of foreign officers by New
York clubs and much feasting and jollif-
cation among the sailors, and then-all
hands off for the Chicago Worlds fair and
''go as you please"
The Dolphin, on which the president will

Secretary of the Navy Hilary A. Herbert
