InE TEXAS GETS AN
 UNUSUAL WELCOME.
People at Brooklyn Greet the Battle- ship as She Entered the Harbor or-wn
 Be Daeled and Repaired.

New York, Aug. 2-Baek from the coast of Cuba, battle scared and pow der stained and punetured in spots, with her formidable guns bristling ill the sum light and her officers and crew laughing and cheering like school boys on heli- day trip, the United States battleship Texas, Captain J. W. Phillips in com mand, steamed slowly up the lower bay from Sandy Hook Sunday on her way to the Brooklyn hayward amid salvos of greeting from the thousands of peo- pie who crowded the decks of the out ward bound exeursionists.
 Salutations Of welcome came from all sides. Every vessel that boasted steam whistle let it shriek for all it was worth. The sailing vessels were also ill evidence and the silent dipping of the colors aboard the pleasure yachts, while not so demonstratiye as the shrill notes from the steamers was equally effective. The cheers of the excursionists and passen- gers on the numerous ferry boats was taken up by the people who watched the black painted warship from the New York and Brooklyn shore and the brave sailors responded with waiying caps and handkerchiefs
 Captain J. w Philip was on the bridge directing the course of the Texas. When he reached the navy yard the dock J 5o1I~otf ,,,I rines who greeted their fellows with fu- rious enthusiasm and welcomed them back with joyous cheering.
 Willing hands did the work of secur- ing the vessel to her moorings at the dock and as soon as the gangways were placed in position hundreds of relatives of the men rushed aboard to embrace those who had fought so nobly and sue. cessfully in the cause of humanity.
 The general outward appearance of the big floating fort showed that the Texas had had rough time of it, and a close inspection revealed the places where the shells of tho dons had pene- trated the port bow and starboard su- perstructure.
 The firing of the port turret gun across the upper deck shook the vessel considerably and she will need gener- eral overhauling, as her decks and sup. ports have been loosened.
 All the sailors who were seen said that the Texas was wonderful ship and her record off Cuba had laid all doubts at rest as to her being an unlucky vessel.
