New York, Aug. 28.-The executive

from Admiral Dewey. In the first.
slated Leghorn. August l6 he says;
Il shall, without fail, reach the low.

anchor there for the night to be ready
for the official arrival and naval pa,
rade on the following morning Sat
urday, the 3Oth While | should be
gratitied to meet any of my friends in
the navy, and especially the command
ing officers of the ships engaged AT
Manila, May l, 1898, | feel that tins
matter of invitation should be left EN-.
tirely with the committee. | would
suggest that at the end of the display
Of fireworks off the battery, the OIym-
pia should return to North river and
anchor off Twenty-siXth street, While
your letter seems to indicate that the
battalion of the Olympia would lead
in the land parade. still am in doubt.
1t would be a qualification to me and
the officers and men of the olympia
should the Olympia's battalion Of
about $50 men be placed at the head
of the column. In reSerence to the
smoker it is proposed to give for the
men. that is a matter that comes with
in the province OF the captain of the
ship, but / have little doubt that he
would be pleased to accept for them,
[ am much pleased for various raasons
that YOU have eliminated dinner
from the programme, and thank your
self and the committee for the careful
arrangements made to spare ne any
unnecessary fatigue"
In the second letter, written from
Naples, August II, the adnira' asks
that good, large military band be
detailed to lead the Olympia battalion
at the head of the land parade the
Olympia small band being hardly
equal to the occasion.
Admiral Dewey has been notified
that all his requests will be carried
out.
