Somewhat Rested.
PRESS TO CONVEY THANKS.

New York, Oct. 3.-Admira1 Dewey
and party went by the naval tug Nina
to Jersey City, where they boarded the
Pennsylvania railroad train leaving
for Washington at 1:2O p. m.
When Admiral Dewey left the Wal
dorf-Astoria to go to Jersey City the
steps and window sills of all the houses
between the end of the hotel on Thirty
third street and Fifth avenue were
filed with people anxious to catch a
glimpse of him. Down Fifth avenue
the line extended, each of the streets
being filed with people.
The admiral and his son came out of
the hotel together and Mr.. Edison
handed the admiral into his carriage.
The crowd Immediately recognized the
admiral, who was in civilian clothing
and cheer went up. Admiral Dewey
bowed his Acknowledgements.
The first carriage after that of AID
miral Dewey contained Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Dewey add Senator Proctor;
the second, Captain Coghlan and Mrs.
Coghlan and Commander Baird; the
third, Captain and Mrs. Lamberton; the
fourth, Lieutenant Brumsby and En-
sign Caldwell, and the fifth, the two
Chinese servants.
Admiral Dewey has received SO many
letters of welcome and congratulations
since his arrival in the United States
that he finds it impossible to answer
them as he would wish. He therefore
asks the press to convey his acl<nowl-
edgment of their receipt and his thanks
for the kindness and good wishes of his
many friends.

While Aguinaldo only offered to re-
lease the prisoners in Tarlac there is
great disappointment at the fact that
