and when the great ship lay to at quar-
antine, Capt. TeInplin Potts, u. s. n.
went aboard to extend the greeting of

hachiro Togo. chief of the naval staff
of the Japanese empire and victor of
the battle of the Sea of Japan, who will
spend II busy days in doing America
series Of receptions and entertain
ments have been arranged 1vr rne
doughty admiral and his staff by the
most prominent people in the official
life of the country, and but few royal
princes who have visited this country
have been accorded such a welcome as
is being extended to the japanese pa
triot.
Washington Awaits Togo.
For weeks official Washington has
been astir in anticipation of his coming.
Dinners, luncheons, sight seeing tours,
visits to the military and naval sta
tions in the vicinity of New York, and
entertainments by prominent bodies of
Japanese will claim his time. Wher-
ever he may elect to ago courteous
Washington official will be at his ell
bow to see that his every want is
satisfied.
Immediately after he was comfortably
located in a hotel, Maj. Gen. Grant, in
command OF Governors Island waited
upon him and upon his return
visit will salute him with 10 guns.
Admiral Togo will receive a like salute
when he calls upon rear admiral E. H.
n - he nd a nj n he New
York navy yard, as we'll as from the
warships that may happen to be in port
at the time and are visited by the jap
anese delegation
The program for admiral Togo's en-
tertainment while in America has not
as yet been made fully public, but 1t
is known that he will be the guest OF
honor at many notable functions,
among them a dinner at the white
house and luncheon given by seere-
tary of state Knox. The Nippon club,
of New York. and the japanese Society
of America will also be his hosts.
VIII Have Free Access.
The official announcement that ad-
miral Togo will not be affected by the
order restricting the privileges Of in
spection Of navy yards and shops by
distinguished foreign visitors, Is re-
garded as criterion for judging the
efforts that VIII Dc UdQc W cHlSI ldi1
amuse and instruct the representative
of Japan.
These restrictive orders were put in
effect to prevent any foreign visitor
from gaining too much knowledge of
American navy yards and their equip
ment and for a time 1t was feared that
the rule would be applied to the admi-
raj. This rule also applies to our ar
mored war vessels. Togo, however, will
have every opportunity to see all that
is interesting in our navy yards and he
will be welcomed aboard any battleships
or armored cruisers that happen to be
in the vicinity. One Of the most inter-
esting of his visits of inspection with
be paid to the New York navy yard,
where the battleship Florida lies nearly
completed. Japan has no battleship in
commission or building that compares
with this giant fighter.
Other points. of interest in the Admit
rails itinerary will be the navy and
army schoola Annapolis and West
Point, respectively. Here the summer
cadet camp will be paraded before him
in review and displays of skill and
prowess arranged for his entertain
ment.
