Presented xarraxut's Flag.
One touching incident of the after.
noon was the presentation to Admiral
Dewey Of the FIRST American admiral's
dag. The presentation was made by
Commander George w. Baird, who
sailed with Farragut and Dewey in the
Gulf squadron in 1881.
Admiral Dewey was deeply affected
and tears were in his eyes AZ he gazed
1t the souvenir. It was several mo-
ments before he could find his voice.
Finally he said:
I'm it. I'll dy it at the masthead
Ill fly it in The parade-IIl fly it al.
ways-and-and-and when l strike
my admiral's Gag. this will be the flag
shall strike"
This was the most impressive scene
that has occurred in the Olympia since
her arrival in this port, and for some
time no one spoke. The silence was
broken BY Dewey. who called his Chi
nese steward and ordered q case Of
champagne. The Washingtonians re-.
mained on board chatting with the ad-
mirsl for an hour. A portion of the
committee left for Washington at 2:SO
o'clock.

icle says So trucks filed with armed
Boefs and 20 with horses left for the
border by way OF Eldansfontein. The
plan Of campaign drawn up at Pretoria
proposes to employ . corps of 2.OOO men
to defeat the slender force in Rhodesia
and to hand the territory over to the
natives. It is hoped that q force of
10000 burghers will be sufficient to
rush the Natal border, capture the
forts and hold them to prevent the
landing Of British reinforcements. The
Boers rely upon having supplies enough
to last them for year. They expect
before . year has expired that Russia
will intervene by creating q diversion
In some part Of the British dominions.
All tho burghers count privately on re-
ceiving support from Cape Colony.
