The New York Herald says Admir- /
Dewey has cabed to this city his &C
ceptance Of an invitation to banquet
to be given in his honor by 100 promi-
nent and philosophical citizens.
Ii is likely that Admiral Dewey will
return to this country as soon as peace
negotiations with the insurgents have
been concluded He will return via the
Suez canal and will come to New York
While the exact date Of his departure
must depend in large measure on the
conclusion of terms Of peace with the
insurgents, it is expected by the Wash
ington authorities that the hero Of
Manila may leave the Philippines with
in a week or two.
Thirty-seven prominent citizens have
already announced their intention Of
subscribing 800 each for banquet in
honor Of the great captain, and there
is no doubt that by today the list will
be filed by the sixty-three Others neces-
sary 70 make the one hundred men and
the $40, 600 planned for.
Thus. when Admiral Dewey does ar

Der. there will await him, in addition
TO the civic celebration which will be
most elaborate, banquet arranged by
one hundred of New York 'smost wealthy

be the most splendid ever prepared TOR

The banquet which is to be given by
one hundred citizens will be held i'll the
Waldorf Astoria. In splendor it will
probably outrank any dinner ever given
In this city.
