The Navies of Europe to
Show Disting uished Hon
ors to Admiral Dewey.
FRANCE and ENGLAND

Proposal That Americans Pre-
sent House to the Admiral.

Washington, May A.-Admiral Dewey's
home coming by way of the Mediterrean-
mean is likely to give occasion for distin-
guished honors from the navies of Eu-
rope, most of them being represented by
extensive squadrogs In those waters and
some OF them having their chief naval sta
tons at Mediterranean ports. Already
Ambassador Cambon of France has called
the attention of the authorities at Paris
to the return of Admiral Dewey by way of
the Mediterranean and the probable sail
ing of his flagship Olympia past the
French naval ports in Algers. These are
opposite the British possessions of Gibral-
tar and Malta. at the entrance to the Med
iterroanean and are easy and natural stop
ping places along that route. 1t is hardly
expected that the admiral will touch at
Toulon, the great naval depot of France
At the ports of French Algiers he will he
accorded every honor due not only to his
nigh rank but to the universal esteem in
which he is held by the naval fraternity.
Tho British authorities have taken no
steps thus far to have the admiral stop
at British ports but 1t was stated to-da Y
by one of the British officials that Dewey
would be assured most enthusiastic
greeting if he stopped at any British sta
tion and that undoubtedly steps would he
taken to induce him to touch at Plymouth
ana Portsmouth, the southern naval de-
pots of England. if there was any pros
poet of his acceptance. In any event IL
is said. the admiral is quite likely 20 stop
at Malta and Gibraltar, as these are the
usual coaling places. and this would give
an opportunity for an expression of Brit
ish esteem for him. In the event that the
admiral could be induced to stop in Eng
land en- route home, 1t is said that III.
