No portion of the tremendous welcome to
be extended to Admiral Dewey and his
flagship, the Olympia, on their now rapidly
approaching return to home waters will be
more impressive, more spectacular than that
to be assumed by the American navy.
Excepting a few boats now doing patrol
duty in the West Indies and elsewhere, all
the ships Of the North Atlantic squadron,
commanded by Admiral Sampson, and decked
out with every available stitch of gaily
colored bunting, their guns belching forth
noisy fire in heartiest salute and their rig
ging crowded with cheering, shouting jack.es,
will be on hand to honor the men and the
vessel that bore the brunt of things in
Manila bay. Every effort will be made by
the sea-fighting department of the nation to
match the unprecedented greeting to be
rendered by enthusiastic millions Of citizens

New Stories About
Admiral Dewey at
Home and Abroad

brought up the rear of that grim Indian
file of war ships that steamed slowly, yet
fearlessly, into Manila bay and destroyed
the power of Spain in Asia, those now at
the yard who were with Dewey when May 1
was made a red letter day in the American
calendar are only a handful. Captain
Thomas G. Treadwelf Of the marines, who
was on the Baltimore and spent the hours
of the battle in the ships fighting top,
where he found life sufficiently exciting to
make him forget to be afraid, is one of
them. Leonard j. G.. Kuhlwein, gunner,
served on the flagship and divided his time,
while the scridnmage was going on, between
duty below, in the forward part of the
ship, seeing that plenty of ammunition was
supplied to the men doing the shooting, and
duty on deck, where he was occasionally
summoned to make necessary repairs. Be-
sides there are Lieutenant Chadwick, who

Young Dewey a
Hero Even Their

Colonel Jim" Morgan, now a resident
of Washington, was a famous confederate
leader, and he was one of the officers who,
after the loss of the cause for which they
fought so hard, went to Egypt and enlisted
in the service of the Khedive. Said he
the other day:
IT'S odd that people didn't know that
hero before. We of the old confederacy
knew it long ago. Don't you remember
how the United States steamship Mississippi
was run Town by one of our ships and
sunk? Well, Dewey was a lieutenant on
board her, and he and his gun crew stood by
the gun he had in charge until the vessef
was almost under water. In fact, the
water was up to the muzzle of the gun when
the last shot was fired. Then, because it
was too late to escape in any ether way,
the future victor of Manila got out through

was on the Olympia while the battle was
being fought, and DR.. Moore. who was med
ical officer of one of the other ships.
1t is safe to say that each Of these men
will take as active a part as he can in the
welcoming of Manila's hero.
KuhIvvein's disappointment.
AS the spelling of his name would indi-
cate, Gunner Kunlwein is of German de-
scent, but a more thorough paced American
in spirit than he lis never trod the deck of
u Yankee ship. Kuhlwein is short, stocky
without being stout, speaks with a slight
accent, and has the face of a man with a
keen sense of humor. He is inclined to
reticence, like most good fighters, but there
Is one subject upon which he sometimes
speaks at length. lit is the g%rievous disap-
pointment he suffered on the day of the
Manila fight.
I'VE had twelve elegant torpedoes on the
Olympia" says Kuhlwein, land we had
practiced with them until we knew eX-
actly what they could do. Over and over
again we had discharged every one of them
and the launching mechanism had been used
sufficiently to be in perfect order. Ever
since l began as n gunner, and that was
long before the Olympia went into commits
sion, l had been hoping that some day ]
might have an opportunity to see a loaded
" pSto "'ANis' @' ~
to see what II would do. and when the bait
tie broke out / wondered If the chance had
como at last.
"But there wasn't any chance for tor
pedo shooting at the beginning OF the bat
tie. The Spanish ships were too far away.
In tho regular course of things l took my
place below, just under the forward turret,
when the fun began, so as to help send
ammunition VI.
1T wasn't the pleasantest place imagin-
able down there. We couldn't see anything
OF the fighting. and, besides, We knew that
II a shell entered our compartment, or We
were badly rammed, or a torpedo hit us,
we'd sure go to the bottom without the
ghost of a show. 1t wouldn't be right to
say thai we didn't feel skittish AT the be-
ginning of the scrimmage. But things got
mighty lively down there soon after the
first guns had been fired from our ships,
and then We had to hustle so hard We
didn't have time to be afraid.
About once in so often the big gun Just
Omaha daily bee., 1899-09-17

how Cervera's ships had been done up as
completely at Santiago as Montojo's had been
at Manila a little over two months before.
1t was like an electric shock to the men on
that ship. They yelled enough to lift the
sky in their cheering, and then they laughed
and hooted and shook hands with each other
and jumped up and down and danced. Every
body was pretty well stirred up that day,
from the admiral down to the stokers.
while every body was still congratulate
ing everybody else l was chased out on a
launch to take that dispatch to all the other
ships. They had been notified by signal al
ready, but they all wanted to read the dis
patch, and I left a great wave of cheering in
my wake all the way round"

on shore. But the Brooklyn navy yard,
chief station of Uncle Sans war ships,
where the Olympia will be laid up for re-
pairs soon after Dewey steps off its deck,
will burn none of the red fire which will
make ruddy the festivities incident to
Dewey's arrival.
Bluff Admiral Philip, who commanded
the Texas while the battle of Santiago was
being fought, and is now commandant Of the
yard; Captain Wildes, now captain of the
yard, who had charge OF the Boston on that
May / which showed his countrymen the
manner of man Dewey is, and just as many
others now stationed at the yard as can get
away for the day will be out to see the show
and take part In it. But no formal program
has been laid out for 50 much as the making
of a display Of bunting at the yard, though,
should the admiral desire to pay the docks
and ships a formal visit, the customary
honors will be accorded to him. They will
be the same as would be shown to an officer
OF like rank assuming command on board
his flagship.
They Fought with Dewey
Unofhcially the men of the yard are fast
becoming keyed up to as high a pitch of
excitement over Dewey's arrival as any
body else. There isn't a man in the place,
from ~commandant down to the newly en-
listed on the old receiving hulk Vermont, or
the apprentices in the shops, who won't be
thrilled to the finger tips at sight of the
modest man who won the first great victory
In the war with Spain on the far side OF
the world, a victory the Significance OF
which Is not fessened by the fact that an
other one, quite as decisive, was won a
little more than two months later, around
on this side of the planet, which virtually
completed the work he had begun SO mag
nifcently.
Naturally the keenest interest in Dewey's
homecoming is felt at the yard by the
men who were at Manila with him. Many
of them left Manila before him, and, two or
three months ago. some hundreds were sta
toned in Brooklyn, the receiving ship Yer
mont fairly swanming with them. But now
most of the men have dispersed. A large
proportion of them left the service when
their time expired. and those who re-enlisted
have been drafted upon by ships on station
until hardly any are left.
Besides Captain Wildes. whose vessel

stirred up but once before, and we knew
that he had great news. He must have seen
that we were eager, and ! guess he was
willing to make us walt a little. He looked
out upon us and smiled a hallelujah smile.
and then said:

naval academy he was always at the top
of everything, except in his studies. He
was a splendid athlete, a boxer and a

Anderson, baron of the exchequer, and
as Miss Anderson Lord Robert Cecil fell
in love with Ter. Lord Roberts father
disapproved of the marriage, and
sthaightway the young couple took the
matter into their own hands and were
married. Because of this, Lord Rob
ert's father would have nothing to do
with them. and the young man was
forced to turn to newspaper work to
support his wife. In his early work, as
we'll as in his political duties, his wife
helped him greatly by acting as his
amanuensis.
The first eight years of Lady Sails
bury's married life were spent in this
way, until on the death of his brother.
Lord Robert Cecil became Lord Gran
bourne. and journalism was put aside
for the work of the politician. 1t was
at this time that Lady Salisbury took
upon herself the duties of political
hostess-duties which became her well.
She was shrewd, practical and of steady
Judgment, and when her husband sue
ceeded to the mnrquisate she took her
position as mistress of Hatfield house
with distinction. Four times Lord Sails
bury has been foreign secretary, and
three times prime minister so that
Lady Salisbury's political and social du-
ties have been by no means light.
Among those favored folk who know
Lady Salisbury in, private lifesshe is
greatly beloved for her kindly sympa-
thy and the steadfastness of her regard.
The hauteur which she bears so we'll
as the wife of the English premier in
political circles vanishes at home. Like
Mrs. Gladstone, Lady Salisbury has no
icve for the smart" set in society. Of
late years the parties at Hatfield have
been composed mainly of members of
the family; but when she was stronger
Lady Salisbury delighted in gathering
about her the cleverest men and women
OF the day. Few know it, but the man
agement of the big estate at Hatfield
has always been under Lady Sails
bury's care. and in her most active days
the tenants knew her as n good bust
ness woman who allowed nothing to es
cape her eye.-Chicago Record.

IS AN LIABLE WOMAN.
The MarchiOness of Salisbury Has
Done Much to Increase Her
Husbands Influence.

One OF the most interesting, and at
the same time most capable women of
England to-day is Lady Salisbury. In
her capacity as a political hostess. it
is doubtful if her equal could be found.
and tits not too much to say that on sew
eraa occasions, through her tact, stray
ing politicians have been brought into
the paths which. according to her hus-
bands views. are the right ones. The
story of her life is interesting, not only
10 England and the English, but TO
all who can appreciate the noble quail
ties of good woman In her younger
days she was the heroine of somewhat
romantic. courtship. She was the
daughter of the Hon. Sir Edward-Hall
