Everything is About Ready for
Noted japanese Sailor

4 New York. July 2S.--With the ex-
ception of a few minor details the ar
arrangements for the reception and en-
tertainment of Admiral Count Heiha-
chiro Togo. chief of the naval stan
of Japan and the hero of the great sea
fight OF May % and 2S, 1904. In which
he annihilated the Russian feet 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
Liverpool on the Cunard liner Lusi-
tania, which is expected to arrive here
next Friday, August L. During the
trip across the ocean Admiral Togo
Twill occupy the royal suite on the mag
nificent steamer.
For several weeks the state and the
navy 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 APP
pointed Capt T. NJ Potts, U. S. n, as
the official representative of the gov
ernment and as the escort of honor of
Admiral Togo during his stay in the
country. Commander Hiraga, l. J. ",
the naval attache OF the Japanese en-
bassy in Washington, will act as the
official representative of the Japanese
government
The arrangements for the reception
OF Admiral Togo upon his arrival In
New York depend TO some extent upon
the time of the arrival OF the Lusi-
tania. Should the steamer arrive at
night the formal reception will be
postponed until the following morning.
Il is hoped. however. that the big
liner 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 Lusitania arrive al night
the formal salute will be postponed
until Admiral Togo visits the army
divisional headquarters on Governors
Island TO return the visit that Major
General Grant will make to him as
Official representative OF the army in
this part OF the country. Similar hon.
ors will be shown Admiral Togo on
the occasion Of his visit to Rear Ad-
miral Z. H. c. Leutze. L. S. ", the
commander OF the Brooklyn navy
yard. and by the United States war
ships which the Japanese admiral
should visit
IL 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
Admiral Togo will be the guest OF
honor at special receptions on Gov
ernor's Island. at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard and other places and, regardless
OF recent order OF the navy depart
ment, will be given every opportunity
to inspect every part OF the working
