Fayal, Azores. March 30.-The United
States cruiser Raleigh, Capt Joseph B.
Coghlan, from Manila on Dec. Is, is
coaling here, will coal at Bermuda on
April and expects to reach New York
on April Is. The Raleigh has been in
stormy weather in the Atlantic but
has been behaving splendidly and
proves to be good sea boat All are
well on board.
This is the first of Admiral Dewey's
squadron of warships to be bound for
home. She has on board a number of
men who belonged to the crew of the
flagship Olympia. Many changes in the
personnel of the Raleigh have been
necessitated since the battle of Manila
She participated in all the movements
about the Philippines, i. e., in the battle
of Manila bay, the capture of the Cor
regidor forts, the capture of the gun
boat Callao, the bombardment and cap
ture of Subig and the bombardment of
Malata fort, forcing the surrender of
Manila.
After leaving Manila on Dec. Is, the
Raleigh stopped at Singapore, Colombo,
Bombay, Alden. Port Said, Alexandria,
Malta, Algiers and Gibraltar In all the
British colonies the officials of the Brit
ish army and navy and the civilian
populace gave the American warship an
enthusiastic welcome, showing her Off
GERS and crew every form of courtesy.
Dinners with American decorations and
American national music were given to
Captain Coghlan and his officers
everywhere, in marked difference to the
reception of the Raleigh on her outward
passage two years ago. Governors,
generals and admirals and other high
officials wished to visit and inspect the
ship. The Raleigh still has her war
paint on.
At Singapore she met Spanish
transport having on board troops and
soldiers from Manila. Although flying
warship's pennant, the Spanish ship
lowered her colors and permission was
granted the Spaniards to visit the Ra-
leigh, where they fraternized with the
American sailors, who gave them much
needed food and clothing. Many of the
Spaniards showed the Americans
wounds inflicted upon them by the
shells of the American fleet.
The quarantine from Bombay was
waived at Alden. At the island of NAL
ia. in the Mediterranean. the Raleigh
met the British Mediterranean feet,
consisting of 10 battleships and num-
Der of cruisers. The British sailors ex-
tended a most cordial welcome to the
Americans and the sailors of the fleet
and the soldiers of the garrison enter
tanned the crew of the Raleigh ashore,
the best feeling prevailing.
During her stay at Malta the Raleigh
was crowded with British red coats and
blue jackets. The American officers
were entertained at Cairo by United
States Consul Harris and all the British
and Egyptian officers were present.
The French at Algers showed a
marked difference There was no re-
ception except from the British and
American residents, although the
French officials We're polite.
At Gibraltar the crew of the Raleigh
saw the Spanish fleet commanded by
Admiral Camara. 1t consisted of six
ships and was anchored across Alge
ciras bay. The Spanish fleet and the
Raleigh sailed at the same time and
proceeded close to each other. The Ra-
leigh hoisted the Spanish flag and sa-
luted it. The salute was promptly re-
turned by the Spanish admiral from his
flagship. the Emperador Carlos V. Tho
