fore his departure from Gibraltar yes

partment officials, it means that the

days the vessel will be at sea will be
utilized in making a slow voyage. AS

tions for the Dewey celebration to be
held here upon the admirals arrival. a

suggestion has been advanced, and may
be adopted, that the Governors of vari-
Gus States and their Staffs and any
State troops that may accompany them
be invited to act as an escort to Ad-
miral Dewey to and from the Capitol on
October 3, when he will be presented
with the nations sword.

Sentation of the sword and parade the
committee has been very much assisted
by President Mckinley, Secretary Long,
by prominent Senators and Represen-
tatives and ranking officers of the army

anxious that this national demonstra-
ton shall in every respect represent
the people and be known and considered
