WASHINGTON. July PA cable

from Admiral Dewey means that, IN
the presence of the President, Secretary
Long will present TO the nero OIL MAMA ila
Bay on the steps at theseast front OF the
Capitol the sword which Congress voted
to him in recognition of his conduct OF
the battle of Manila Bay.
Secretary Long stated to-day that ne
had no reason to believe that Admlrai
Dewey would arrive in New York Har-
bor before October /, the date originally
set by that officer. The committee
here is doing everything it can to ma
tionalize and internatiOnaliZe the Ad-
miral's return, and has addressed in
vitations to foreign governments to
send warshipS to New York to take
mart in the ceremonies incidental to
the Admirals arrival. Some of the
members Of the Diplomatic Corps have
unoficially represented to the naval Of
ficiaIs that their governments cannot
accept invitations from municipalities,
and the Department of State may con-
seouently be called upon to formally is
sue invitations, especially as some of
the governments have indicated their
desire to be represented at New York
bv a man-of- war when the Olympia is
at that port.
Admiral Dewey will be escorted from
New York to Washington by a special
subcommittee. He will travel in a
special train elabOrately decorated. and
upon arrival there will be escorted TO
his hotel.
After paying his respects to the Pres
ident and Secretary Long the admiral
will be escorted to the east front or the
Capitol. where the presentation will oc-
cur. The evening of that day Will be
marked by a grand military, naval and
civic parade. which will be reviewed
by the President, Secretary Long and
Admiral Dewey The city will be IL
Illuminated and a pyrotechnic display
will add to the occasion.
Secretary Long told me to-day that
he had reached no decision as to the
duty to which the admiral will be as
signed upon his return.
II will consult with him about the
matter upon his return he said.
There is little doubt. however. that
the admiral will be stationed in Wash
ington and will be placed at the head
of an important board. probably adj
visory in character. Should reor-
sanization of the department occur and
a board of admirals conduct the me-
chanical business of the department
Admiral Dewey will remain in Wash
NEW YORK, July 21.-A London
cable to the World from Trieste says:
Privately Admiral Dewey expressed q
determination not to be candidate for
President and hoped Mckinley would
be reelected.
