Admiral Sampson Relative to
the R,eceptiOn


WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Orders have
been issued by Acting Secretary Allen to
Captain Robley D. Evans, who command
ed the battleship Iowa during the war
with Spain, directing that officer to con-
fer with the Dewey reception committee
of New York and with Rear Admiral
Sampson, respecting the PARTICIPATION or
the navy in the ceremonies incident to
the homecoming of Admiral Dewey. Rear
Admiral Sampson has been directed to
prepare a programme to be followed py
the ships of his squadron in the reception
of the admiral. This programme, before
being put into execution, will be approved
by the department, but the approval is
merely perfunctory as the suggestions OF
Admiral Sampson will undoubtedly be
Admiral Sampson is also expected to
confer with the reception committee or
New York so that upon the days or the
Olympias arrival there may be no con-
fusion in the execution of the ceremonies
determined upon. 1t seems TO be finally
decided that the North Atlantic squadron
will not go abroad to meet the Olympia.
but that Admiral Dewey will be requested
to furnish the Navy Department, before
leaving the Azores, the route he will take
in crossing the Atlantic in order that Ad-
miral SIMPSONS command may meet him,
perhaps within a days sailing from New
York.
1t is the expectation of the Washington
reception committee that the Sub-com-
mttee, which 1t Will send to New YORK,
will board the dispatch boat Dolphin and
meet the Olympia in the outer bay of New
York. 1t mas been suggested that posi-
bly, arrangements might be made for a
delegation of the crew of the Olympia to
accompany the admiral to Washington.
The committee has addressed a letter to
the admiral requesting him to advise
them as early as possible OF the date of
his arrival here, so that final arrange
ments can be made for meeting him in
New York with q special train.
