Dewey Welcomed in Austria

Vienna, July 19.-The Neue Freie
Presse has an article today heartily
welcoming Admiral Dewey to Austria.
Recalling the bold coup de main at
Cavite, the Neue Freie Presse sees in
the admiral the personification of dar-
ing GOODNESS, and dwells on his calm
ness and ~amiability, describing him as
a model soldier and gentleman, who
will be placed in the category with De
Ruyter, Nelson and Tegettsen. The
Neue Freie Presse then says: The
great welcome extended to Admiral
Dewey is intended, not only for the he
70. but, above all, to the glorious rep
resentative of the American nation to
which Austria-Hungary is united by
so many ties of interest.
