NO LANDING AT MANILA.
Rear Admiral sperry Decides to Keep
Sailors on Board.

Manila, Oct. s. Rear Admiral
Sperry has finally decided not to land
any men here and to maintain a prac-
tical quarantine Of the ships during
their stay. There are still several
new cases Of cholera daily, and it was
decided that it would be safest and
best not to take any chances of its
spreading to the fleet. The officers
will be allowed brief shore liberty un-
der close restrictions.
The final decision of the admiral
to observe quarantine is grievously
disappointing, because the rapid de-
cline Of cholera led the people to hope
that intercourse with the feet would
be permitted

BATTLESH|P FLEET
ARRIVES At manila
MEN-oF-WAR PREPARE TO TAKE
PART IN POSTPONED FETE
ON THE WATER.
TARS' VOYAGE TO
CITY is PLEASANT
Vessels Are Compelled to Go Single
File Through Basilan Straits
Bands, Moro Handclaps and Festiv-
tiles Mark Long Trip.

Manila, Oct 2.-The Atlantic battle
ships entered the bay Friday and pre-
pared to take part in the big water
festival. The passage through the
Basilan straits was made entirely in
the single-column formation and the
narrowness of the passage prevented
any maneuvering. AS soon as the
open sea to the north was reached,
however, the vessels changed to q
double-column formation and proceed
ed in that manner.
An interesting and picturesque
demonstration of welcome was &C.
corded the ships here as well as at
Zamboanga. Gen. Bliss, commanding
the department of Mindanao, aboard
the coast guard steamer Negroes
headed a large fleet Of steamers,
launches and Moro vintas or native
canoes, all gayly decorated.
Negroes Fire Salute.
The Negros fired the admiral's sa-
lutte in honor of Admiral Sperry as the
Connecticut steamed by leading the
fleet and the flagship replied with the
governors salute in honor of Gen.
Bliss, as department commander The
Negroes then turned up the straits and
sailed in company with the Connect
cut for few miles, the crew of the
flagship manning the sides and the
bands of the two vessels alternating
with patriotic airs.
This ceremony was reepated with
each vessel of the fleet as it steamed
by, and many of the native crews of
the vintas fired salutes to the Amer.
leans from their lantagaa or wire
bound bamboo guns.
Moros Are Enthusiastic.
AS the vessels passed they testi.
fed their enthusiasm by clapping their
hands, the sound timed to the pc.
culiar cadence that is distinctive OF
the Moros.
Many of the vintas had bands com
posed of native instruments aboard
and these played weird native tune
of farewell as the ships of the fleet
swung into the double column cruis
ing formation and steamed away
across the open water toward Manila
ue last ueSSdSS tldl Was SlS
nailed to the Connecticut by the Ne
gros before the latter turned back
was:
! Gen Bliss and the military ant

Moro province bid Admiral Sperry
