Sydney, Aug. 19.-With the cher
ishel ambition of eclips,ng all pre-
vious welcomes to the American fleet,
the people of Sydnev and of Austral-
ia are awaiting with bated breath the
arrival of the great armada tomor-
row, when the enthusiasm that has
been pent up through months of prep
aration will break out in veritable
pand emonium of noisy and tumult-
Gus greeting.
Millions of dollars will be expend-
ed for the entertainment of the visit
ing tars during the visits of the fleet
to this city and Melbourne.
Australia, still an infant in the
family of nations, entertains a great
admiration for the land of Uncle Sam.
The enterprise that has made the
United States a leader among ma
i'ons is expected, in the course of
years, to accomplish the same result
nCr the Yankees of the antipoies.
There are diplomatic reasons. too,
why Australia is anxious to cultivate
and maintain the friendship of Uncle
Sam. The policy of "A White Aus
tralia" cannot always be maintained
unless the Australian government
has strong backing. England has no

tralians realize. might some time
leave them in sad straits # Japan
should decide TO insist upon the ad-
mission Of orientals. With Uncle
Sam in possession of the Philippines.
the United States is forced to act as
buffer for the Asiatic menace which
is the nightmare of Australia.
The great Yankee fleet is sched-
uled to arrive off Port Jackson to-
morrow morning. The flagship Pow
erful of the Australian station, with
Vice Admiral Pore in command, will
meet the fleet and extend a naval
greeting. In the evening lord North
cote, governor general of the com
monwealth, will give dinner in hon
or of the officers of the fleet.
The arrival of the fleet tomorrow
will be made the occasion of a great
spectacular aquatic welcome on the
part of the public. Frcm the heads
at the harbor entrance tens of thou
sands of spectators will hail the ap-
proach of the battleships, which will
proceed to their moorings between
lines of pleasure steamers and other
harbor craft, bearing cheering multi
tudes. with flags flying and bands
playing. Once the battleships have
picked up their moorings, the fleet
of pleasure steamers will pass along
the line of anchorage and another
welcome will be accorded the
American bluejackets.
