Dewey's Flag Lieutenant Honored by
His Native State.

A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga, last night
says: Georgia today made tribute to her
ranking hero of the Spanisn-American war,
Flag Lieut.. Thomas NJ Brumby of the
Olympia, by the presentation of a hand
some sword in recognition of his services
at Manila.
The occasion was one which allowed many
thousand citizens of the state to give vent
to their enthusiasm which began with the
sunrise. At an early hour the reception
committee called on Lieut.. Brumby at the
Aragon Hotel, and the carrying out of the
days program was begun. The distin-
guished party drove in carriages to the
governors office at the state capitol, where
Lieut.. Brumby was received by Gov. Cand-
Ter. United States senators and representa-
tives from Georgia, and visiting senators
and representatives, the judges of the SUI
rreme bench, and other prominent persons
At 1870 am. a joint session of the Geor-
gia house and senate was called, and Brum-
by, escorted by the governor and the sena-
tors and representatives of the state, was
presented to the assembly. After the pre-
sentation in the legislative hall. Lieut..
Brumby was escorted by Gov. Gambler,
Mayor Woodward of Atlanta, and others,
followed by the members of the general
assembly, to a stand at the Washington
street entrance to the capitol, where the
sword presentation took place. Mayor
Woodward introduced Clark Howell who
read the following telegram from Admiral
Dewey:
WASHINGTON, October 90
Hon. Clark Howell, Atlanta Ga:
1 rejoice that the state of Georgia, which
gave such loyal support to the government
during the late war with Spain. is now
honoring one of its most gallant sons, Lieut..
Brumby, for his brave and conspicuous ser
vices during severe period.
GEORGE DEWEY
Gov. Gambler presented the sword to the
lieutenant, and the cheers We're doubled as
the latter received the token. Lieut.. Brum-
by's emotion embarrassed him for some
time. 1T is true said he, Il had the for
tune of being at Manila. and however we
may differ about what l did, my personal
claim is that l did the best / could"
At the conclusion of the ceremonies the
guest of honor and committees went In car
riages at the head of the parade to the
reviewing stand at the corner of Peach
tree and Ponce de Leon avenues The pa
rade was made up of troops from Alaba-
ma, South Carolina, North Carolina and
Georgia, of civic organizations and socie-
ties, with the guests of honor in carriages
The G. A. R. veterans, Confederate Vet
Grams, and Sons of Confederate Veterans
were given the position of honor at the
head of the parade. At the reviewing stand
the parade was reviewed by Gov. Gambler
and Lieut. Brumby.

Plans for Battle ShiDs,

The board of construction held another
meeting at the Navy Department yester-
day for the consideration Of the plans for
the three new battle ships. The settlement
of the details of these ships, including ques-
lions relating to armor, guns and turrets
and coal capacity, is progressing slowly and
1t is stated that up to this point no single
feature can be said to have been finally
adopted. A proposition discussed yesterday
was to have the II and S-inch turrets super
imposed, as in the kearsarge, but receivable
separately, so as to avoid the necessity for
absolute concentration Of the fire of all
four guns in the turrets. No conclusion
was reached on this point.
