after Z o'clock for her New York dock
Just as she got well under way a war
vessel was seen through the fog, and
passengers and crew, headed by the
Sandy Hooks captain, gathered at the
rail to read the newcomers name. To
get near enough to do this, the Sandy
Hook changed her course and headed
directly for the Olympia, blowing her
whistle as she did SO. AS soon as the
name was made out the Sandy Hooks
passengers cheered with all their might,
and in few moments an answering
cheer came over the water from the
garhere or. q AcE.

said the ship had had pleasant trip
across the Atlantic and that all on
board were well and glad TO be home
again.
The Olympia's crew We're put to work
Immediately cleaning ship. Many small
vessels are sailing around her and their
number is being augmented constantly.
The members of Admiral Deweys
family, who are stopping at the Wal
dorf- Astoria, did not seem surprised at
Sheir distinguished relatives early arri-
val. Charles Dewey of Montpelier, VT,
the admiral's brother, said:
This is not altogether unexpected,
as we thought the admiral would be
here couple OF days before the celebra-
ton. Probably ne desired to have
couple of days to get the ship in good
condition for the celebration"
No Official Denomination.
For the first time IN many years m
adnliral's salute was fired in New York
bay. Fort Hancock saluted with II
guns when the Olympia passed coming
III.
There was no demonstration Of an Of
fetal character in Rear Admiral Samp-
sons fleet off Tompkinsville when the
news Of the Olympia's arrival was re-
ceiyed Signals announcing Dewey's
arrival were hoisted and there was con-
siderable cheering, which, although a
violation of the strict rules and regula.
fions of the navy, was not officially
noticed by the commanding officers. 1t
had been planned that one Of the feet,
probably the Texas, would go down to
the hook and escort the admiral's flag
ship to her anchorage inside the hook,
but, of course, this plan had to be aban-
doned. There will be no action taken
by Rear Admiral Sampson in the mat
ter Of saluting Admiral Dewey until
the Olympia reaches the upper bay.
When the Olympia reaches the upper
bay Admiral Dewey will find that quar-
antine station will be decorated with
LOCO red, white and blue electric lights.
On the terrace the letters are nine feet
high, spelling stWe lcome Home" They
are set against natural background of
green and showed white in the day
time and will be lighted with electric
ity at night.

When the arrival of the Olympia was
made known the reception committee
IN this city at once communicated with
Hear Admiral Philip at the Brooklyn
navy yard and requested him to have

fcers and crew of the Olympia at once
conveyed to that vessel.
