cabin Rear Admiral Sampson said he was
delighted with the evident good health Of
Admiral Dewey and he told the admiral
that he looked much younger than most of

TALKS ABOUT THE HERO.
Rear Admiral Sampson remained on board
Tor more than an hour. and after returning
TO the Dolphin he said: Admiral Dewey is
delighted, as is every one aboard, to reach
lis native shores again. He is much moved
by the great kindness and enthusiasm of
the people. and. though shrinking from too
much m and public display, feels
deeply the regard of which these are the
outcome. In fact. he feels and expresses
himself precisely as a man Of his fine tenn
permanent may be expected to do. The
country honors in him these fine qualities
as well as the sterner ones which have
given him his fame"
Rear Admiral Sampson had first learned
of Admiral Dewey's arrival at the Brook
Ign hayward. where he went about 10
o'clock to see Rear Admiral Philip. Soon
after Rear Admiral Sampson had gone Rear
Admiral Philip voyaged down the bay in the
Narkeeta and paid an official call, attended
b. Commander j.. d. j. Kelley. The rear
admirals salute was not fired in this case,
by request of Rear Admiral Philip. Admiral
Dewey received these official visits in UNI

with this exception the sailors and marines
are we'll Mr.. Percy Is unable to account
for the presence Of typhoid on the ship.

MANY LOOKED AT THE OLYMPIA.
George Bidwell, collector of the port. Post
master vancott and several of the customs
officials visited the admiral and were per-
sonally conducted around the ship by him.
All day tugs and sailboats and excursion
steamer came up near the Olympia and
took a look at her. Everybody who asked
was permitted to come on board. Some of
the parties OF sightseers on launches and
steamers were invited by the officer Of the
deck to come up the gangway. The Olym-
pias anchorage was rather a lonely place,
and altogether not a great many visitors
made a point Of going there. 1t is, however,
near the main ship canal. The North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Saale, outward bound,
passed close to the Olympia. The Saale's
passengers crowded TO the rails. Admiral
Dewey responded to waving handkerchief
by lifting his cap several times. The Saale's
band played the "Star-spangled Banner
and the Olympia dipped her flag. The
Cunarder Urania passed out half an hour

pia's band to play God Save the Queen"
The admiral about ) o'clock returned Sir

and the admiral's son. George c.. Dewey,
were with him. Sir Thomas met the ad-
mira at the starboard gangway with his
friends and the entire party went to the
after cabin, where the health of the ad-
miral. the Shamrock and, of course, the
Columbia were drunk amid enthusiasm. The
admiral remained on board for nearly halt
an hour and then started for his ship. Tn

a hip! hip. hip. gave three honest cheers

British warships in Manila bay. Admira
Dewey waved his gold-bound cap like a
schoolboy as he stood on the rail of his little
white canopied launch, being given a hearty
welcome in his own home waters by a hun.
dred foreigners.
Admiral Dewey purposes. unless his plan.
be changed by the reception committee, tc
