Glad to Walk Again
on Terra Firma.

New York, Sept. 27-Dewey set foot
on American soil for the first time in %
months when he stepped from the com
mandant's barge Undine on to the dock
at the foot of Main street, BROOKLYN
navy yard, at o'clock this afternoon
His visit to the navy yard was to return
the official call made by Rear Admiral
John W. Philip yesterday. The ad-
miral was dressed in full uniform with
epaulettes and cooked hat. He was ac-
companied by his aides, Capt. B. P.
Lamberton of the Olympia and Flag
Lieut.. T. NJ. Brumby.
The party was met by Rear Admiral
Philip, Gapt. Wildes and Lieut.. j. D. j.
Kelley. Officers of the different depart
ments Of the yard were present as was
Col. Huntington with marine guard
of $50 men, A large number of visitors
obtained admission to the yard, and
some of these rushed through the ranks
and warmly greeted Admiral Dewey,
who seemed pleased with his reception.
He was introduced to all the officers,
among whom he recognized several old
friends Rear Admiral John Erben, re-
tired, was among those whom Admiral
Dewey greeted with great warmth.
Among the officers present were Capt.
P. G. Assessor, Capt. Merrill Miller,
Commanders J. B. Smith, Lille, Lyon,
| Speyers, Nancy Gibson ard Swift,
Naval Constructor Bowles, DR.. Alfrend,
Lieuts r. T. Millinger and George e.
Burd
The party was conducted by Rear Ad-
miral Philip and his aides to the COM
mandant's residence on the hill where
Mrs. Philip received them. Preparations
were being made to fire a salute to the
distinguished visitor on his departure
| from the yard, but Admiral Dewey re-
uuested that the salute be dispensed
with, as he said it was an unnecessary
expenditure. Word was telephoned to
! the dock and no salute was fired, In all
about 20 minutes of time was consumed
J before the visitors returned to the I'm
{ dine and on their way to the boat they
/ called at the Ly. cum building in which
the commandments office is situated.
In order to avoid the crowd as much
| as possible Admiral Dewey left by the
rear entrance to the building and at the
same moment Rear Admiral Sampson
| accompanied by Lieut.. Commander
| John C. Fremont, supervisor OF the port
of New York, and Lieut.. Commander
Winslow entered by the front way
