THE NAVAL MOVEMENTS.
Programme Will Be Left Entirely to
Admiral Bunce.


Admiral Bunce.
NEW YORK, Aug. PA special to
the Sun from Washington says:
The naval demonstration upon the
occasion of Ii Hung Chang's arrival at
New York next Friday, will be on a
larger scale than had been expected,
and in point of spectacular effect 1T is
expected to exceed anything OF the
kind since the assemblage OF foreign
war vessels in the North river, pre-
ceding the opening of the Chicago eX-
position Orders have been prepared
by the naval authorities, and will reach
Admiral Bunce on his arrival off
Tompkinsville on Wednesday after
noon for his guidance during the pas
sage I'D the river of the St. Louis, and
the subsequent inspection of the YES
sells which the yicerOy VIII make be-
fore leaving for the west. 1t is now
proposed to afford Ii every chance OF
seeing the best specimens of the Amer1-
can navy under the most favorable
circumstances, and each commander
will be ordered to take especial care In
cleaning up his vessel and IN having
their sides shine and the bright work
to glitter during the whole time of his
stay in the east.
Admiral ounces fleet is to be aug
mented by the battleships Maine and
Texas and will include the Massachu-
setts. Perhaps the armored cruiser
Brooklyn, AFTER her trial off the New
England coast, will join the fleet for a
day or two to permit Ii to see the
finest ship of her class yet built for
any naval power.
The whole squadron will anchor off
Tompkinsville some time on Wednes-
day and will at once begin prepara-
lions for according Ii all the honors
laid down in the naval regulations for
occasions of great ceremony
On Friday morning the fleet Will
probably move down to the lower bay,
and then take up position and wait the
arrival of the St. Louis, and as she
passes by each ship will run to the
fore-truck the imperial colors of China
and fire a salute. The exact mum Der
of guns, however, have not been deter
mined, as there is some question what
salute Lis rank entities him. While
in Europe he was generally recognized
as having the rank of lord high ad-
miral which calls for nineteen guns, or
the same number laid down for a sec
Rotary of the navy, but as this govern
ment does not recognize that title, it is
1880
as imperial prime minister OF China.
The salute will be the first ever fired
to the Chinese colors from the deck of
an American warship in New York har-
bor and this ensign will be displayed
for the only time in many years from
a ship attached to the North Atlantic
squadron China's' war vessels seldom
visit countries away from home, so
that the opportunity of firing off gun
powder in honor of their arrival here
is a rare occurrence and has seldom If
ever been observed here.
The programme for the naval honors
next Friday will be left almost entirely
to Admiral Bunce, but he will be in
structed that the ships are to be ex-
pected to recognize Lis arrival in some
way and the most probable manner
will be in forming either one long line
or an open line through which the st.
Louis may pass while each vessel fires
off a salute and the sides are manned
by sailors and the marines drawn up
on the quarter deck at present arms
