Storm of Cheers.
New York Oct Admiral Dewey
arose early this morning and began
preparations for his departure at /
o'clock for Washington.
After light breakfast after which
he chatted with the members of his
family. the admiral expressed himself
as being much refreshed after the IA
tiguing incidents of the past week. The
admiral saw no visitors this morning,
but kept to his rooms attending to
some personal business until about II
o'clock when, with a party escorting
him. he started for drive before pro-
ceeding to the railway station.
When Admiral Dewey left the Wal
dorf-Astoria to go to, Jersey City, the
windows of all the houses between sd
street and Fifth avenue were filed with
people anxious to catch a glimpse OF
| him. Down Fifth avenue the line ex
tended each side, the street being filed
| with people.

personally escorted Admiral Dewey
| through the two days celebration as
| sembled in the hotel before - o'clock.
| They were st. Clair McKelway, Rich
| ard Croker, Ex-Governor Morton, Will
| lam McAdoo, w. w. Foster and James
| Spellmann. Senator Depew was miss
! ing. He was to go to washington.
| however. on a special train during the
afternoon and be present at the cere-
| monies there.
The committee went up to Admiral
| Dewey's room with some of the MEM
bers of the Washington committee to
| escort the admiral to the capital. These
/ were Senator Redfield Proctor of YER

Edison. Mr.. McKelway. who headed
| the local committee. went through no
| formality, simply saying:
| Gentlemen, here is the admiral
| Admiral Dewey bowed and when
asked if he was ready to go he said he
was, and he and Mr.. Edison started
! downstairs and took carriages. His
son, George Dewey. jr.. and the admiral
came out of the hotel together and
| Mr. Edison handed the admiral into
the carriage. The crowd Immediately
| recognized the admiral, who was in civ
ilian clothing, and a great cheer went
UP. Admiral Dewey bowed his ac-
| knowled gements.
George Dewey got into the carriage
and then Mr.. Edison entered. Sailor
| Nygar of the Olympia was on the seat
with the driver. The police cleared the
middle of the street and the carriage
started off. Then there was renewed
cheering and waving of handkerchiefs
and flags, and the admiral took off his
hat and smiled. Then the carriage
stopped, as Mr. Edison told the driver
to wait for the other carriages.
One Long Cheer.
The crowd tried to break through the
police lines when the carriage was
stopped, but the police managed to force
the people back again. The cheering
was continuous. The first carriage
after that of Admiral Dewey contained

tor Proctor; the second, Captain Cogh-
Ian and Mrs. Coghlan and Commander

two Chinese servants All the way
down the avenue to Twenty fifth street
the admirars arrival was awaited by

the people cheered him again and
again, the admiral acknowledging the
greeting by raising his hat and bow
ing. The carriages drove down twenty
fifth street to the river, where the ad-
miral boarded the navy yard tug
Nyack.
When Admiral Dewey's carriage
reached the Pennsylvania pier great
cheer went up, and the admiral ntteo
, his hat and bowed to the right and left
: until the carriage passed beyond the
crowd. General Miles hurried to the
. door of the carriage pushing the pollce

miral, as he stepped out. Then he was
: helped on board by the blue Jackets
