 New York, Sept. 27.-The Olympia
 moved up the lower bay to-day, passed
 through the strait, guarded by Forts
 Wadsworth and Hamilton, amid the
 booming of great guns and then, inside
 the city gates, Admiral Dewey and his
 gallant tars received the thunderous
 stately ship glided up to the head of
 the column, there to remain until the Never, perhaps, did triumphant war rior returning from a victorious cam paign receive a more impressive well come. Although thousands upon thou sands witnessed it from the shore, bal cony, window or housetop and the men-of-war anchorage at Tompkins vile fairly swarmed with tugs, yachts and steamers and every sort of harbor craft all black with wild cheering peo- pie and the walls of the city beyond were brave with million welcoming flags, to-day's welcome to Dewey was the greeting of his comrades of the navy. To outward appearances the welcome he received from the fleet was strictly professional.
 Unrestrained Enthusiasm.
 One can find all the ceremonies done in his honor to-day described in the naval regulations as due to one of his rank But the naval regulations, rigor- ous as they are, could not restrain oc- casional rounds of cheers any more pers and the shouts of people aboard the excursion boats.
 Cheering from the Chicago.
 Very early in the morning before Dewey left his anchorage inside Sandy Hook, Rear Admiral Howison, com nander of the South Atlantic squadron, aboard his flagship Chicago, which ar rived outside last night ending jour- ney of 21 900 miles around South Africa came in past the Hook, expecting to join the North Atlantic squadron in re- ceivng Dewey upon his arrival. As he rounded the Spit, there to his surprise lay the Olympia. Dewey's flagship was no sooner recognized than the sides of the Chicago were manner, the marine guard was paraded and seventeen guns roared in honor of DeWey's flag. The Chicagos jackies cheered wildly as she steamed past. The Olympia re- sponded with thirteen guns and the thirteen guns and the two admirals waved welcome to each other from the bridges of their respective vessels
 Assistant Naval Secretary Aboard.
 Assistant Secretary of the Navy Allen aboard the Dolphin visited the Olympia to-day. The Dolphin flew the flag of | the assistant secretary and MT. Allen conveyed to Admiral Dewey the greet ings and compliments of President Me Kinley. Mr. Allen remained aboard as | the private guest of the admiral An officer from Fort Hancock shortly af- l rewards came aboard the Olympia to | convey the formal welcome of the ad | ministration and then few minutes af- | ter o'clock, just as the tide turned | flood the Olympia weighed anchor and | began her journey up the bay The tugs and harbor craft which had been lowering about for hours fell into her wake and puffed up behind her.
 Fort WadsyOrth's Salute.
 Suddenly a tongue of red flame leaped from the granite side of Fort Wads- worth and like the recoil came a streak of fire from the granite wall on the op- posite side. Then alternately from each side came the deafening roar of an ad- niral's salute of seventeen guns. Slow ly the Olympia passed the smoke wreathed forts answering the salute gun for gun until she became enveloped in her own smoke. But she pushed it aside and stood revealed before the ad- niring gaze of the whole Atlantic squadron waiting at anchor off Tomp tkinsville to receive her Every bit of brass and gilt on every ship of the re- ,eiving column had been furnished and every spot on the white hulls painted over. Along the railing of the ships the tackles stood elbow to elbow and aft were the marines drawn up to salute few of the tars ran up to the fight ng tops. Every officer had donned his most showy uniform and splendid they ooked with their gold epaulets and belts and swords gathered in the waists of the ships as the Olympia approached.
 Flame and Smoke BeIcIled Forth.
 From the New York parked the sig nal gun. six-pounder in the star board bow, and immediately every hip in the squadron belched forth lame and smoke. Louder and louder murdered the guns as the Olympia anne on. She replied with the thirteen runs to which Rear Admiral Howison's ank entitled him. On board the Olym- ,ia also the rails were manned and the ( ,and and marine guard were paraded. | As she came abreast of the Chicago the l ,uard presented arms, the drums gave 1 our ru es, the trumpets four flour ', shes and the band played Home Sweet { Iome, the officers at the waist raised heir gold-bound beavers and the sail ( rs cheered. Ship after ship took it's urn in doing honor to the admiral as he Olympia swept up the line of float
