and let go her anchors not ear from
where the cup5 challenger Shamrock is
moored.- The admiral was in his own
country again. ,'after % months -absence.
He had returned "great ina the arduous
greatness Of things donoa ana lie scarce
lyseemed to realize it. The pilot had,
brought aboard the Sunday papers and
MTeporter cf'the Associated Press was
received by the admiral in a cabin lit
tered by illustrated Dewey editions.
1t almost saddens me, ne said, ''to sec
what my poCple are doing fer me-. The
pride and gratifcation)is immense and I
cannot express the Appreciation | feel
I.did not know, [ did not really perceive
until this morning the splendid welcome
that my countrymen are giving ne. The
governors Of many states are coming to.
see me, and troops from Florida, Georgia
and otherfar away states are one their
waY'to ta&e part in receiving nc"
The admiral stroked the head CT.
.tawny haired dog, the chow dog Of d
Chinese breed that.appoafs in the illus
treted interviews with thcadmiral. Bob.
here" he said, is not well. lie yearns
to be ashore He is sick to get a little
grass ana to scamper around. feel d
good deal that way myself am mighty
glad to get home. Al is no5 good for q
man any more than a dog to liyo-on ship
board for % months.
The admiral eaid that he felt, tired but
he did not look SO. His complexion is 3
clear bronze, his hazel eyes bright, his
bearing brisk and rather jaunty. Some
lines are under his eyes and around his
mouth, but his voice is singularly clear
and pleasant, The admirals whole pres
once IS that Of man in his fullest pow
crs. His manner is gentle and kind but
no IS exceedingly wary, aad did not r3r-
nit himself to wander off in5o politics or
to exercise thos3 pcsi5ive views he no
doubt holds ABOUT the Philippines and
American affairs there. His attention
was brought to interviews in. which he
IS. described as going rather fully into.
the character Of the Fiiipiaos and their
capabilities fer self government. = car
not' stand Tor any ioteaiaw3 giving
my opinions on political subjects and the
philippines. I disown any views as
cri4ed to me on those subiocts.
Alluring to his arrival two. days ahead
q the-time he was expected +, Admiral
Dewey said: Il am sorry that I am
ahoad OF the schedule. The OLYMPIA
had been s5eaming at the uniforn, rate
Of ten knots an hour since we left Cib-l
raltar. Several days age we knew tn It
we would arrived before Thursday un-
less we moderated oar speed or went
some where out Of our. coarse. Capt.
LamSerton. LieUtenan5 Brumby and I
held a consultation. The pronriety OF
rUn2ing into Hampton, Roads o.. some
other port ia the south was spoken. 'oe,
but we concluded that we ought net to
touch land first, any where except as
New York. 1t was Suggested that we
cruise come distance outside of New
York harbor until Thurs hay bus we
knew that if we did that we would be
discovered apdraported. The whether
locked little squaily and it seemed bet
ter to be inside the Hook than outside.
But the consideration thatre really decided
US to come into port was to-. give Capt.
Lan}barton a chance to clean up the ship
before our voyage up the haFbor. Capt.
Lamberton and I are veyy proud Of the
Olympia and we wanted enough time at
our anohorago" to rub her down and
make her look spicil and span.n
