The Olympia's crew were put to work
Immediately cleaning ship. Many small
vessels are sailing around her and their
number is being augmented constantly.
The members of Admiral Dewey's
family, who are stopping at the Wal
dorf- Astoria, did not seem surprised at
Sheir distinguished relatives early arri-
val. Charles Dewey of Montpelier, vt. !,
the admiral's brother, said:
''This is not altogether unexpected,
as we thought the admiral would be
here couple of days before the celebra-
ton. Probably ne desired to have a
couple of days to get the ship in good
condition for the celebration +"
No Omcial Demonstration.
For the first time il many years an
admiral's salute was fired in New York
bay Fort Hancock saluted with II
guns when the Olympia passed coming

There was no demonstration Of an Of
fetal character in Rear Admiral Samp-
sons aeet off Tompkinsville when the
news of the Olympia's arrival was re-
ceiyed Signals announcing Dewey's
arrival were hoisted and there was con-
siderable cheering, which, although a
violation of the strict rules and regula-
tions of the navy, was not officially
noticed by the commanding officers. It
had been planned that one of the feet,
probably the Texas, would go down to
the hook and escort the admiral's flag
ship to her anchorage inside the hook,
but, of course, this plan had to be aban-
doned. There will be no action taken
by Rear Admiral Sampson in the mat
ter of saluting Admiral Dewey until
the Olympia reaches the upper bay.
When the Olympia reaches the upper
bay Admiral Dewey will find that quar-
antine station will be decorated with
] 1000 red, white and blue electric lights
On the terrace the letters are nine feet
high, spelling NV elcome Home" They
are set against a natural background Of
green and showed white in the day
time and will be lighted with electric
lily at night.
