CRUISER BOSTON.

VALLEJO, Aug 29.-The cruiser
Boston arrived at Mare Island shortly
after O'Clock this afternoon. She was
given a hearty greeting as she steamed
up the channel. Whistles blew, fire
turned out en- masse to shout. The
crew was delighted with the reception,
and assembled on deck and cheereu
themselves hoarse. The arrival of the
cruiser was surprise to the citizens
committee, which had in preparation
a more formal welcome. She will go
back to San Francisco temporarily to-
morning, and upon her return
here the original reception programme
will be carried out.
