New York, July 29.-With the excep-
tion of a few minor Details the ar
rangements for the reception and en-
tertainment of Admiral Count Heiha-
chiro Togo, chief of the Naval Staff
of Japan and the hero of the great sea
fight of May q and 2S, 1904, in which
he annihilated the Russian fleet in the
Straits Of Tsugaru, are completed and
the distinguished visitor, coming here
from England, where he represented
the Japanese government at the coro-
nation of King George, will be given a
royal reception. Accompanied by his
naval aide, Commander N. Tanizuchi,
Admiral Togo sailed today from Liv-
erpool on the Cunard liner Lusitania,
which is expected to arrive here next
Friday, August 4. During the trip
across the ocean Admiral Togo will
occupy the royal suite on the magnif-
icent steamer
For several weeks the state and ma
Wy departments have been busy ar.
ranging the plans for the reception
and entertainment of Admiral Togo
during the seventeen days he will
spend in the United States as the
guest of the nation. President Taft
appointed Capt. T. NJ. Potts, U. S. NJ,
as the official representative of the
Government and as the escort of hon
or of Admiral Togo during his stay in
this country. Commander Hirago, j. j.
N, the naval attache of the Japanese
embassy in Washington, will act as
the official representative of the JAP
anese government.
Reception Planned
The arrangements for the reception
of Admiral Togo upon his arrival in
New York depend to some etxent upon
the time of the arrival of the Lusitan-
ia. Should the steamer arrive at
night, the formal reception will be
postponed until the following morning.
1t is hoped, however, that the big lin
er will arrive at daytime. In that case
the saluting guns of Governors Island
will greet the Admiral with a salute of
seventeen guns, when the Lusitania
passes up the Hudson. Should the Lu-
sitania arrive at night the formal sa-
lutte will be postponed until Admiral
Togo visits the army divisional head
quarters on Governors Island to re-
turn the visit that Major-General

1t is safe to say that Admiral Togo
will have little time for rest during
his sojourn in the United States. Dur
ing his stay in New York one public
function will be followed by another.
