DEWEY'S DAILY OVATION.
New York People Get Out Early to See the
Admiral.

New York. Sept. 2s.-Admiral Dewey
was considerably fatigued by the rounds
of visits and receptions yesterday, and
did not rise until later than usual today.
He breakfasted at 1880 and remained in
his quarters attending to mail. A large
crowd of sightseers were out early in
excursion boats, launches and rowboats
and became very enthusiastic when
colors sounded, and officers and crews
gathered on deck on various warships,
while half dozen bands played "Star
Spangled Banner
After finishing his correspondence
Dewey appeared on the quarter deck
and paced up and down for constitu-
tional. The people cheered wildly, and
the admiral was kept busy bowing in
return.
1t was learned definitely today that
but one organization of troops from
Texas will take part in the land parade.
The state authorities tried to make ar
rangements for a favorable rate with
railroads, but without success. The
organization to be here is the Garrity
Rifles. of Corsicana, their expense to be
paid by w. D. Garrity, founder of the
rifles.
According to the weather bureau at
Washington there is bad weather In
store for the naval parade tomorrow
Willis L. Moore, chief Of the weather
bureau at Washington, predicts showers
with south to west winds so strong as to
be inconvenient to large and dangerous
to small crafts.
Three hundred and fifty men who
fought under Dewey at Manila were
presented this morning on board the
Olympia with bronze medals awarded
them by congress.
Captain Lamberton made the presen-
tation, pinning a medal on the breast of
each man as his name was called. The
medals bear the admiral's face in relief
Dewey's Chinese servant was also deco
rated.
Rear Admiral Howson was an early
visitor to the Olympia.
Howison said today the Chicago would
appear in the naval parade, but would
not take precedence over Sampson.
A committee from Washington reached
the Olympia at II O'Clock.
As the army officers left the flagship
salute Of 10 guns was fired in honor of
Merritt. When the committee from
Washington reached the Olympia each
member of the committee was cordially
greeted by Dewey. Admiral Geo. W.
Baird, who sailed with Farragut and
Dewey in the gulf squadron in 1861, un-
rolled package which he had carefully
guarded all the way to the Olympia and
displaying faded blue admiral's ensign
upon which stretched four white stars,
he said to Admiral Dewey:
admiral, wish to present you with
the first admiral's flag ever brought out
in the navy of this country. The ad.
miral whose name and memory we all
revere, first hoisted this ensign upon the
good ship Hartford before New Orleans
and afterwards upon the Franklin and
since it came down from that masthead
| it has never been whipped by wind or
worn by elements. You, worthy sue
cessor Of that great admiral whose tao
tics you SO successfully followed short
while ago, deem proper person for
Farragut's mantle to fail upon"
Admiral Dewey was deeply affected,
with tears in his eyes, as he gazed at the
souvenir. 1t was several moments be-
fore he recovered his voice. Finally he
said: "I'll fly it, I'll fly it at the mast
head, I'll fly it in the parade; I'll fly it
always-and-and- strike my ad-
miral's flag this shall be the flag shall
strike."
| This was the most impressive scene
that has occurred on the Olympia since
her arrival at this port and for some
time no one spoke.
| Admiral Dewey and the officers and
men on the Olympia were formally wei.
coined to the state of New York this
afternoon by Governor Roosevelt and the
chief officers of the national guard oi
the state. Roosevelt was received with
a salute Of thirteen guns. He was met
at the gangway by Dewey, who conduct
ed him to the cabin. Major Gen. Mer-
ritt, commanding the department. OF the
east, paid his respects to the admiral
accompanied by full staff. Dewey and

different officers were presented. The
