Deweys triumph, says the New York
journal.
As his carriage rolled between the pillars
that hanl1ed the avenue in front of the
Wsldorf-Astoria, between Thirty-third
ana Thirty fourth streets, a shout went
up that was only equalled by the homage
paid 10 Dewey himself Rear Admiral
Schley was touched by the demonstration,
and lifted his hat. keeping the head barred
as he bowed right aud left
Just before the eud of the parade Rear
Admiral Schlcy left his place in the stand
and unnoticed by the mass of the multi
tude. which was intent upon the passing
hosts, slipped into the Albemale, where
he changed his uniform for civilians dress.
As he passed. however, a few recognized
and cheered him, but there was no unusual
demonstration. That was to come after
ward.
Soon after the Admiral entered the hotel
a carriage drew up at the Twenty fourth
street entrance. At that time jostling
swarms of sightseers filed every inch of
space between Fifth avenue and the Al
bemale. The parade was over and the
crowd was chiefly interested in getting
home. The police were fighting and shout
ing to keep them on the move. The throng
was packed so tight that movement was
almost impossible.
In the height of the confusion the Rear
Admiral emerged from the Twenty-fourth
street entrance accompanied by the hotel
manager, and pushed his way to the car
rage Somebody, no matter who, recog-
nized him and proposed three cheers for
Admiral Schley.
In an instant the dense crowd became
crazy with emotion Cheer after cheer
rent the air, and those nearest the hero
seized him in their arms and literally bore
him TO the carriage. Their enthusiasm
was SO unbounded that they used the Ad-
miral rather roughly. He was thrown into
the carriage, and half dozen enthusiasts
clambered in after him, shaking his hands
and shouting themselves hoarse.
Those who could not get nearer turned
their attention to the horses and sought
10 loosen them from the carriage so that
they themselves might act as motive pow
err. The crowd rocked this way and that
like a troubled sea, striving for the honor
of drawing the AdmiraIs corrage
For a time it seemed as if panic was
imminent but the police charged the
crowd, scattering them in every direction,
and finally succeeded in making way for
the carriage.
Even then 1t was a struggle to get away.
The multitude surrounded the vehicle,
roaring unanimously and stretching out
their hands to shake that of the hero of
Santiago.
At last the carriage succeeded in press
ing through the mass, and drove rapidly
away. Those who witnessed the demon
stration agreed that it was one of the
most remarkable, if not the most impress
sive of the day.
Shortly after this Admiral Sampson, ac-
companied by several aids entered a car
rqQa a 40 10
was cheered, but there was no such DEM
onstration as that accorded to Admiral
Schley.
The ovation to Schley was as extraor-
binary as il was Unprecedented. The mo-
ment his name was shouted the crowd be-
came delirious, and the tremendous move
ment to do him honor seemed to animate
every individual of the immense throng.
Dewey His Natural Self.
1t was on the boat carrying the Admiral
from Warren street to the pier at River
side Drive that ne became pain George
Dewey, says the Press. He was as delight
cd as a schoolboy in the honest belief that
it was the lofty sentiment of patriotism
that impelled the great demonstration and
that he was only the modest focus around
which this feeling centered for the time
being.
Richard Croker scarcely could keep away
from the Admiral, and was perfectly help
less in his presence, too. Dewey would
say something that deserved an answer,
and Croker would stop and try TO think
of an apt reply. OF course he was lost
and floundered. but by that time the Ad-
| miral was exchanging views with former
Gov. Levi p. Morton, who came from his
| native stale, Vermont, so the utter lack
of quick appreciation and conversations
ability on the part OF Croker was passed
off nicely by the sympathetic tact of the
! Admiral.

what they had done what part their
state played in the war.

miral, Dewey said he wanted to tell him
