Dewey rose early and could be seen
from the Atlantic Highlands on the
Olympia's quarter deck. The warship
was surrounded by all manner of sail
ing and steam craft, including num-
Der of newspaper boats which had re-
manned near the flagship all night. An
outward bound British steamer saluted
as she passed with her small cannon.
There was no answering boom Of guns
from the flagship, but string of signal
flags was sent aloft in response.
An official visit was paid to Admiral
Dewey by Major Burbank, command
ant at Fort Hancock, and his staff.
The visitors were met at the gang plank
and escorted to the admiral's cabin,
where they spent half an hour. When
they returned to shore all the members
of the military party were enthusiastic
over their reception.
At o'clock the Olympia started up
the bay for the government anchorage
off Tompkinsville. The progress thither
was triumphant, all sorts of craft, in
Guiding the dispatch boat Dolphin, with
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Allen
on board, accompanying the Olympia
up the bay. The thousands that
greeted Admiral Dewey and the Olym-
pia had the satisfaction of seeing the
hero of Manila, who, as he stood with
Assistant Secretary Allen and Captain
Lamberton upon the superstructure, re-
peatedly doffed his cap to the cheering
crowds in returning their vociferous
salutations.
Howison just a Guest.
It was explained that while both Ad-
miral Dewey and Rear Admiral How
ison outrank Rear Admiral Sampson,
there will be no change in the arrange
ments giving Rear Admiral Sampson
full control Of the naval portion of the
demonstration in Admiral Dewey's
honor. Rear Admiral Howison will be
a guest at the ceremony, but his pres
ence will not interfere with Rear Ad-
miral Sampson.
Admiral Dewey's relatives who have
been stopping at the Waldorf-Astoria
as the guests of the city, started on the
government tug Narkeeta at 9:3O a. m.
to pay a visit to the admiral on the
Olympia. There were Is in the party,
as follows: Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Dewey of Montpelier, VT, W. T.
Dewey, their son, James H. Dewey, son
of w. T. Dewey, Charles Robert Dewey,
nephew of the admiral, and his wife;
Mrs. James L. Martin, Mrs. H. L. Fin
ley and Miss Frances A. Finley, Edwin
Dewey, brother OF the admiral, and his
wife and Mr.. and Mrs. F. B. McCuen,
the latter the niece Of Admiral Dewey.
Lieutenant Theodore Dewey was in
charge of the tug from the navy yard
and was aboard with his wife to meet
the others Of the party.
Admiral Dewey and Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy Allen, who came
aboard early in the day, had an an
imated talk on the superstructure of
the Olympia, the admiral occasionally
leaving Mr.. Aliens side to doff his cap
to some boat loaded with excursionists
who would yell themselves hoarse to
attract the hero's attention. All the
way up the lower bay the signal boys
were kept busy dipping the colors,

out thanks Of the admiral to his ad-
mirers.
Welcomed by Fort Wadsworth
AS the cruiser neared Forts Wads-
worth and Hamilton the sailors passed
themselves forward, while the marines
paraded the quarterback in full dress
uniform, standing at attention while
the ensign was lowered from the miz-
zen gaff to the monkey gaff and the
ships number was displayed. AS the
Olympia entered the channel the signal
corps wig-wagged a welcome, which
was answered by the ships signaller.
The slopes of the forts were crowded
with soldiers and as the first gun
belched forth it's welcome they cheered
Justify. The face Of the hero of Manila
was wreathed in smiles as his ship
answered gun for gun. A little later
the cruiser joined Admiral SIMPSONS
fleet off Tompkinsville, which thun-
dered out its welcome to the COM
mander-in-chief.
