The Postponement Gives General

That Admiral Dewey has accepted Sa-
vannah's invitation to be her guest and
partake Of her hospitality is matter Of
qualification not only to savannahians.
well He will not come here from
atlanta, however, but instead will
make his visit 10 Savannah a special oc-
casion instead of simply paying a pop
call after his ovation at the Capital city.
This news was somewhat of disapr oiut-
ment when first received yesterday. but on
second thought everybody recognized that
il would be much better to have he Ad-
miral when he would be the city's special
guest and then, 100, il obvates the hur-
Tied preparation which would have been
necessary had the Admiral accepted the in
vitation to come here from Atlanta. which
would have placed him in Savannah the
latter part of next week.
News of the Admirars acceptance came
much quicker than was expected The
patch from its Washington correspondent
at noon yesterday, giving information of
the result of the committees visit. The
dispatch was Immediately bulletined:
THE Invitation Committee consisting OF
Messrs. Tiedeman, Estll, Purse and Ad-
Ter, called Admiral Dewey this morn
ing and had a delightful visit, last ng over
an hour and a haif. lie accepts Savannah
Invitation, the date to be fixed hereafter.
lie said it would be pleasure for him 10
visit Savannah at the same time he goes
TO Atlanta, but he cannot do so now he
cause he is expected in Washington FRI
day to attend meeting of the Philippine
Commission. He said he cou.d nos well
refuse 10 visit Atlanta because of his high
regard for Lieut. Brumby, and the fact
that Congressman Livingston introduced
the resolution, giving him a vote of thanks
for his victory at Manila. The committee
is well pleased with the success Of their
visit, and they believe they will be able 10
make the demonstration greater at Eater
date"
As the appointment of the committee
with Admiral Dewey was at noon, it was
not expected that the result of its mission
would be made known here before o clock
at least, and the early Information was
somewhat of a surprise. The committee
left here, however, with the intention of
stopping at the same hotel with the Ad-
HnIdl ana lnlS uOuDllesS brought ABOUT
the earlier meeting. The statement con-
tanned in the dispatch that the committee
had "a delightful visit lasting over an
hour and a half" shows that the Admiral
Is just the genial, wholesouled and unos-
tentatious gentleman which everyone here
had conceived him to be.
Mayor Myers received the following dis
patch from Chairman Tiedeman:
washington, d. c.. Oct. 1S.-Hon. Her
man Myers Mayor. Savannah, Ga: Ad-
miral Dewey accepts invitation of Mayor
and Aldermen date of visit 10 be named
hereafter by him, possibly in December or
January Meeting of Philippine Commits
sion, Of which he is a member, requires
his immediate return from Atlanta TO
Washington. The committee was most
cordially received by the Admiral.
George w. Tiedeman, Chairman"
The news that Admiral Dewey had ac-
cepted The invitation to be the citys guest
at date to be named later by him soon
reached the olher members of the com
mittee. and was received with general cat
isfaetion. The explanation of his reason
Tor not accepting Immediately was entire
ly satisfactory. the precedence of official
business over social claims being recog-
uized by all. The result Of this is that
Georgia will be twice honored by Admiral
Dewey. The dispatches did not mention
dieut. Brumby, but this was doubtless be-
cause The date of his acceptance is condi-
TONED upon that of Admiral Dewey's.
