Washington, Aug. 27.--Admiral Schley
reached Washington yesterday after
noon. When the train pulled into the
depot here he found compact mass of
spectators, who filed the depot and over
flowed out into the train shed. The ad-
miral and Mrs. Schley were greeted with
cheers and shouts OF "Hurrah for
Schiey" Everybody Joined in the
shouting, and the depot attaches crowd
ed about the admiral and insisted on q
handshake. At the gates the crowd in
vreased. and amid deafening cheers the
admiral and his wife. the former with hat
OFF. passed through two solid lines OF
people.
The president gave him most cordial
reception, thanking him as he had Samp-
son for the success of the memorable
engagement OF July 3, which he took oc-
casion TO say was the battle which
brought about the surrender OF Santiago.
Many Of the friends of the admiral and
Mrs. Schley learned OF their presence at
the hotel. and called during the evening.
Although considerably better. he is not
yet we'll, and expects to visit relatives in
Maryland. which probably will consume
several days, after which he will go TO
Connecticut to remain until about to
start for Porto Rico. Some ship other
than the Brooklyn, he said. would be
selected for this purpose. as the flagship
was about to undergo repairs.
The admiral talked briefly of some of
the principal incidents Of the fight which
led to the destruction Of Cervera's squad
ron, and other matters OF interest at this
time, new features OF which were re-
curing to him as time passed by. He
said:
1T is my opinion that the Spanish ad-
miral might have escaped with possibly
one or two of his ships had he adopted
different tactics in coming out of the
tharbor. Had he diverted the course of
his ships, sending some to the east and
others to the west, 1t is my belief that he
might have escaped with one or possibly
two of the vessels. Such course
naturally would have compelled us TO
separate our fleet and some Of Cerveras
ships might have been able to have
reached Havana"

ROCKY POINT.
Many Attractions For the People at the
Csarming Bayside Resort.

There are many reasons why Rocky
Point is the most popular of all the
Rhode Island shore resorts with many
people. Perhaps the greatest of them is
that the resort Is sufficiently far away
from the city to afford excursionists
good cool ride In the boats both going and
coming and yet not 80 far but that IL is
easy to reach from Providence at all
hours. The fast and commodious boats
of the Providence. Fall River and New
port Steamboat company make hourly
trips 10 Rocky Point, and during the
coming week. which will be the last of
the season at this popular place. IL is
probable that many people will take
advantage of the convenience OF the
time schedule to take trips TO the shore,
returning in the moonlight and the cool
Of the evening.
Tomorrow will be a big day at Rocky
Point. There will be concerts all day
by the National band and those who
have heard the concerts given by this
musical organization. at this place, in
the past, do not need to be informed re-
garding the character of them. The
programs of all the concerts will in
clude classical and popular selections,
and the solos and concert numbers alike
will be pleasing To the ear.
In the afternoon there VIII be a big
ball game in the enclosure, which will
be participated In by the Providence

Providence and Pawtucket will go down
in large numbers, and there Is an as
surance Of a large crowd. attracted by
