Williams, Author of ^^ Bullet and Shell." ^^ Memorial War Book," etc ADMIRAL GEORGE DEWEY, the hero of Manila Bay, was born at Montpelier, Vt, on December 26, 1837, his father being a prac ticing physician. His ancestors fought valiantly in the old Indian and French wars. One was Captain Samuel Talcott, who commanded the dragoons at Deerfield on the outbreak of King William's War, in 1690 ; another ancestor was Captain John Maudsley, who served in King Philip's War, while a third was Captain Elizur Holyoke, an early settler of Springfield, Mass., and a famous Indian fighter. Mount Holyoke was named after him. Captain Talcott came from Braintree, County Essex, England, and was deputy governor during 1637, and magistrate and treasurer of the colony from 1654 to 1660. The Admiral's grandmother was Mary Talcott, daughter of Samuel Talcott, of Glastonbury, whose dwelling is still standing in Marlborough, and on the Gilead church record is her marriage to Zachariah Perrin, in January, 1781. Their daughter Mary, born in 1799, married Dr. Julius Yemans Dewey, of Montpelier, and became the mother of the Admiral. She died when he was five years of age, his sister being two years younger. His father's reins of discipline seem to have been very lightly held, for George, being a vigorous boy, soon became unruly. Naturallj^ pug nacious, he was over-fond of fighting, and, not content with whipping his schoolmates,. even ventured to tackle his teachers. He finally grew to be the terror of his school, being the ringleader in all kinds of boyish mischief. - His teachers could do nothing with the embi-yo hero, resigning in rapid succession. Finally Zebina K. Pangborn, a college graduate and athlete, took the school. On his arrival he found young Dewey perched in a tree pelting his mates with stones he had stored in his pockets. Refusing to come down, Dewey was jerked from his perch and cuffed. He immediately organized a battalion of his mates and am bushed Pangborn on the road, pelting him with snowballs. The next morning a boy was called up in school for punishment, vsrhen George marched his battalion to the desk and announced that they were going to thrash the teacher. Pangborn made a vigorous defence, and getting hold of young Dewey, gave him an unmerciful thrashing with a rawhide and stout hickory switch, taking the battered boy to his father, who thanked him. George had now found his master, and grow ing obedient, soon became the best and brightest boy in the school. In after life George thanked his teacher for conquering him, saying that intelligent severity had made a man of him. On leax-ing the Montpelier school Dewey entered the Johnson Vermont Academy, remaining there one year, when he went to the Norwich University, located in the pleasant town of Northfield, Vt. Dr. Dewey, recognizing the natural combative qualities of his son, desired that he should enter the army, and George consented, though he preferred- the navy. The discipline of the university was strictly a military one, infractions of the rules being usually punished by "pack drill" round an old elm tree. Still mis chievous, the future Admiral had to spend many a weary hour in inarching round the tree, carrying a knapsack and musket. Reluctantly acceding to his son's wishes. Dr. Dewey asked for his appointment to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, but could procure one only for an alternate. The regular appointee failed in examination, but George passed triumphantly, donning the uniform of a cadet on September 23, 1854. During his term of study young Dewey often manifested his love of fighting, always resenting an insult. The result was several pitched fistic battles, and he once accepted a classmate's challenge to a duel with pistols. The encounter was prevented by the ofiicer of the day. It must not be understood that Dewey was brutal or insub ordinate in his instincts, his misconduct and pugnaciousness being the natural ebullition of a fearless boyish disposition. George Dewey graduated in 1858, being fifth in a class of fourteen, and was ordered for duty on the frigate Wabash, then in the Mediterranean Squadron. After cruising for a year, he returned to Annapolis for final examination, passing as midshipman on Jan- -uary 19, 1861, and receiving the rank of master on February 23, 1861. When Beauregard's guns were fired on Fort Sumter Dewey was at home in Montpelier without hope of imme diate employment. He started for Washington on the first train, and reported at the Navy Department on the following day, receiving a heutenant's commission on April 19, 1861, and was assigned to the old side-wheeler sloop of war Mississippi, in the Gulf Squadron under Farragut. After considerable tedious and unimportaiit service Dewey's ship followed Farragut in the attack on Forts Jackson and St. Philip, which defended the approaches to New Orleans, on the Mississippi River. During the terrific bombardment that ensued the Confederate ram Manassas attacked the sloop Mississippi and disabled her, but the ram received a parting broadside from the Federal ship, when a shell entered the magazine and destroyed the ram. Lieutenant Dewey was a power ful swimmer, having learned the art in Onion River, that ran beside his father's fields. While the crew were trying to reach shore he saw a wounded sailor on the point of sinking, so went to his assistance, support ing the man under a shower of shot and shell until they reached the bank. When the fleet participated in a night attack upon Fort Hudson, Dewey instructed his men to whitewash the deck in order that they could more readily discern the running gear of the guns, a novel but effective proceeding. In 1863 Dewey was transferred to the North Atlantic Squadron, as executive officer of the Agawam, on which he saw considerable fighting in the James River, during the closing operations cf General Grant in front of Petersburg and Richmond, and he took part in the final and successful attack on Fort Fisher, displaying great gallantry. Being pro moted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on March 3, 1865, he served on the historic Kearsarge and the Colorado. As an evidence of his courage, it is related that when orders were given on board the flagship Colorado to set the sails in a furious gale raging in the Bay of Biscaj', Dewey led the crew aloft and assisted in the task. Having performed more than the usual time at sea, Dewey was assigned in 1867 to duty at the Kil tery Navy Yard, Portsmouth, N. H., and there married Miss Susan B. Goodwin, daughter of War Governor Ichabod Goodwin, on October 24, 1867. His next assignment was to Annapolis, where he remained two years, receiving the rank of Com mander on April 13, 1872, and the command of the Narragansett. During the following December an event occurred which has since saddened the Admiral's life, his wife dying five days after giving birth to a son. Strong in his affections for hjs dead wife, Admiral Dewey has remained a widower, devoted only to his profession. Completing some surveys in the Pacific Ocean, he was made a member of the Lighthouse Board, and subsequently served in the Asiatic Squadron during 1882-83, being promoted to Captain on September 27, 1884, and given command of the Dolphin, then a part of the original White Squadron. He went in THE BIRTHPLACE OP ADMIRAL DEWEY montpelier, VERMONT THE ADMIRAL DEWEY RECEPTION In the City of New York 1885 to the Pensacola, flagship of the European Squadron, and it was while commanding that vessel that a characteristic incident occurred. The Pensacola was lying at Malta when a serious fight occurred on shore among the jack tars of different nations. One of the aides of the British Governor went on board the Pensacola and demanded a parade of the crew for the purpose of identify ing alleged ringlead ers in the disturb- ance. Captain Dewey glanced at the Stars and Stripes flying over his head, and, pointing to the flag, quietly said ; " This deck is United States terri tory, and I'll not pa rade my men for any foreigner that ever drew breath." George Dewey has always been rec ognized as a strict disciplinarian, but he knows when re laxation is proper and timely. He hates falsehood, and once punished a sea man for denying that he had been intoxi cated, saying it was the lie and not the offense he punished. Neat and precise in his dress and a stickler for naval etiquette, he was always considered a dude by his brother officers, but they never questioned his seamanship or his fighting qualities. Having made a. brilliant record during the momentous Civil War, the future Admiral spent thirty-three years of peace in studying the progress iu the system of naval warfare, his experience in sea and land duty preparing him for the crisis in which he won undying fame. In 1889 Dewey was made Chief of the Bureau of Equipment, and rose to the rank of Commodore on February 28, i8g6. During the initial and vexatious diplomatic troubles between the United States and Spain Commodore Dewey was an early applicant for the command GEORGE DEWEY AT ABOUT THE AGE OF THIRTY YEARS of the Asiatic Squadron, for he saw clearly that, in the event of a war , between the two nations, the best opportunity for gaining distinction and promotion would be found in Eastern waters. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt was also impressed by the importance of the Asiatic station, and nominated Commodore Dewey for that command. The suggestion met with considerable opposition in the bu reaus. But Roose velt said he wanted to see a good fighter at the head of the Asiatic Squadron, and, as there was no question regarding Dewey's belligerent qualities, he was fin ally selected by the President and the Secretary of the Navy. So averse were naval officers to going to China that he found it difficult to organize his per sonal staff, several ofiicers declining who now wish they had accepted. In due time war was declared and he won his wonderful vic tory in Manila Bay, on Sunday, May i, 1898. For his great services President McKinley appointed him an act ing Rear Admiral, Congress confirming the promotion, and voting the Admiral a sword of honor. The grade of Admiral was subsequently revived and conferred upon Dewey, the bill releasing him from the requirements of the retiring law, so that he can remain at the head of the American Navy as long as he wishes. The enthusiastic and spectacular reception given the Admiral by the citizens of New York City, during the closing days of September, 1899, was not alone a deserved tribute to his genius as a sea-fighter and diplomat, but also a recognition of the efiiciency of the entire American Navy in time of war.

With only four American cruisers and two gunboats he attacked and utterly destroyed seven Spanish cruisers and five gunboats, besides silencing and capturing the formidable shore batteries on Cavite Point. The remarkable feature of the battle was the absence of loss of life on the American side, as compared with an excessive loss in killed and wounded among the Spaniards. The engagement also gained for the United States territorial possession of the entire Philippine Archipelago. Commodore Dewey's fieet was lying at anchor in Mirs Bay, a few miles north of Hong Kong, completely stripped for active service, when Secretary John D. Long sent the following cable order to the future Admiral of the United States Navy ; Washington, April 24, 1898 Dewey, Hong Kong War has commenced between the United States and Spain. Proceed at once to Philippine Islands. Commence operations at once, particularly against the Spanish fleet. You must capture or destroy. Use utmost endeavors. LONG Never was a sterner or more comprehensive order issued to the commander of a fleet. Brief, incisive, and to the point, the message went from the executive head of the United States Navy to a man ready to obey orders under any circumstances. The American fleet on duty in Asiatic waters consisted of the cruisers Olympia, Boston, Baltimore and Raleigh; the gunboats Concord and Petrel, with the revenue cutter, Hugh McCulloch, as convoy to two supply transports. The six fighting ships had an effective strength of 1808 officers and men, with 57 guns of heavy calibre. The run of 628 miles from Mirs Bay to Subig Bay, thirty miles from Manila, was accomplished by noon of April 30. Ascertaining that Admiral Montojo was evidently waiting for him in Manila Bay, Commodore Dewey decided to enter that port under cover of night, and risking all danger from torpedoes and the land batteries at the entrance to the Boca Grande passage, to make an attack on the Spanish fleet. Waiting until the sun and moon had sunk below the horizon, the American Squadron sighted the Corregidor Island lights soon after midnight on the morning of Sunday, May i, and steamed slowly into the bay with all lights extinguished or carefully hooded. The throbbing of the engines and the kicks of the screws were painfully audible to officers and men, but no alarm was taken in the forts until a shower of sparks rose from the McCulloch's funnel. Then three harmless shots were fired, the Spanish guns being quickly silenced by a 4-inch and an 8-inch shell from the Concord and the Boston. The squadron went on to face the torpedoes, but nothing happened to check the mysterious movement until after sunrise, and the position of Montojo's fleet was revealed. It included the cruisers Reina Cristina, Castilla, Don Antonio de Ulloa, Don Juan de Austria, Isla de Luzon, Isla de Cuba and Velasco; the gunboats Marquis del Duero, General Lezo, El Correo, Quiros and Villaboros; two torpedo boats and two transports. The Spaniards had 1948 officers and men, with 44 guns, besides the shore batteries at Cavite. Running up the signal, " Hold your fire until close in," Commodore Dewey led his squadron onward. Then a geyser of mud and water rose near the bow of the Baltimore and soon after another shook the bay near the Raleigh. That was all that the dreaded torpedoes accomplished. As soon as the Spaniards saw the invading vessels every battery opened a furious fusillade, but the guns were badly aimed, for none took effect. The American crews responded with a hearty cheer, as the famous signal, "Remember the Maine," flew in the early sunlight. Then another signal was hoisted on the Olympia, "Fire when convenient," and the Commodore turned to Captain Gridley, who was in his conning tower, and said quietly : ' ' You may flre, Gridley, when you are ready. " The flag captain nodded, and one of the port 8-inch guns threw a 250- pound shell at the Reina Cristina, the Baltimore and the Boston quickly following suit, all of the three huge shells crashing into the Spanish flag ship. Better aim was now shown by Montojo's gunners, one of their shells cutting the wire rigging over Commodore Dewey's head, another tearing a long splinter from the main deck of the Olympia. " Open with all available guns," was the next signal, and a deafening roar filled the air as over twenty 5-inch and 8-inch guns opened, each delivering a shell every six minutes. The effect was marvelous, for the Spanish ships rocked under the impact of the terrific missiles. By con trast one Spanish shell passed clean through the Baltimore, a second glanced from her side, and a third cut the signal lanyards from Lieuten ant Brumby's hands, as he stood on the after bridge of the Olympia. The Boston was hit by another shell, which wrecked a stateroom, and a second struck her foremast. That was all the damage. The orders were for the squadron to steam slowly in line past the enemy, delivering broadsides as long as each ship had the direct range. Then they were to turn in regular order, and use the starboard guns on the return trip, and continue repeating the manoeuvre of evolution. As Dewey's ships turned for the second time the Reina Cristina steamed out, heading for the Olympia. Word was immediately passed to con centrate every gun on the Spanish flagship, which being obeyed, the Cristina was seen to shiver, one shell smashing Admiral Montojo's bridge ; but he stepped over to the other end, ordering his vessel to return to her moorings. As the Cristina's stern came in view. Captain Gridley sent in as a raking shot an 8-inch shell, which shattered the Spaniard's steering gear and tore its way through the hull. At this juncture the Raleigh was caught by an insetting current which carried her close to the bows of two Spanish cruisers, that failed to take advan tage of the opportunity. Captain Coghlan raked both vessels and then resumed his place in the moving and fighting line. The discharge of so many heavy cannon caused great banks of white smoke, the masses of rolling vapor covering the surface of the bay, only the flashes of the guns revealing their positions on ship and shore. Under cover of this smoke, two Spanish gunboats darted forward, one aiming to torpedo the Olympia, the other to attack Dewey's transports. The Olympia drove back her antagonist with her foretop rapid-fire guns, and the Petrel pounded the other one so severely that she ran for shore, being sunk before reaching it. At 7. 45 Commodore Dewey made signal to cease firing and proceed to the eastern side of the bay. Ordering breakfast served, the Commo dore summoned his ship commanders for report. They announced the astounding fact that not a man had been hit, the death of Chief Engineer Frank B. Randall, of the McCulloch, of heart disease, being the only casualty. After a rest of three hours the squadron again proceeded to the attack. It was known that the Reina Cristina was out of the fight, and Admiral Montojo was seen transferring his flag to the Isla de Cuba. The Baltimore now led the line and headed for the Austria and Cristina. The Spaniards were growing more accurate in their aim, two shells exploding on the Baltimore's deck, disabling eight men. Swinging his ship around. Captain Dyer delivered a broadside at the Cristina, which crumbled under the terrific discharge and blew up, a shower of fragments and the bodies of men falling all around her. Captain Cadarso, her commander, being among the killed. The Austria next received the fire of the Olympia and the Raleigh, a shell from the latter exploding her magazine, and she sank, taking with her the gunboat El Correo. The Velasco encountered the Boston, and so terrific was the latter's broadside that she listed to port, then careened to the starboard and went down. The Castilla was then seen to be on fire, her crew scuttling their ship to prevent the magazine from exploding. Captain Robiou, of the Don Antonio de Ulloa, then showed his heroism, for though the Olympia and the Boston kept pouring in huge shells, riddling the Ulloa, the Spaniards clung to their guns, Robiou nailing his ensign to the mast. Finally the Ulloa sank, her officers dying at their posts. The battle was now practically ended, Dewey having literally obeyed his orders to destroy the Spanish fleet. But the shore batteries were still firing. Although they were not doing much harm, it was necessary that they should be silenced. In less than an hour the task was accomplished, the end coming suddenly by the explosion of the Cavite arsenal mag azine. Thus ended the battle of Manila Bay. Twelve Spanish war vessels were sunk or destroyed, a transport was captured, as well as the forts and arsenal of Cavite, while the entire Philippine archipelago became American territory. The Spaniards had 424 killed, 210 wounded, while only two officers and six men were slightly wounded on the Amer- can side, and every ship remained in good fighting trim, a record unequaled in the history of naval warfare. The officers who commanded the ships composing Admiral Dewey's fleet in Manila Bay were Captain Charles V. Gridley, the Olympia ; Captain Frank Wildes, the Boston; Captain Joseph B. Coghlan, the Raleigh; Captain Nehemiah Mayo Dyer, the Baltimore; Commander Asa Walker, the Concord; Commander Edward P. Wood, the Petrel; Captain D. B. Hodgson, the revenue cutter Hugh McCulloch. Captain Gridley was subsequently invalided and ordered home. He died in Kobe, Japan, June 5, 1898. Commander Lamberton succeeded to the command of the Olympia, being commissioned Captain on May 11, 1898. ^he Dewey Arch THE QUADRIGA, SURMOUNTING THE ARCH AND REPRESENTING VICTORY ON THE SEA. JOHN Q. A. WARD, SCULPTOR THE DEWEY ARCH on the Madison Square plaza in honor of the great Admiral is a magnificent art production. It was the out come of an idea of Charles R. Lamb, one of the vice-presidents of the National Sculpture Society. His suggestion meeting with approval, a committee of five was appointed, consisting of President Ward, Charles Rolhnson Lamb, Karl Bitter, F. Wellington Ruckstuhl and John De Witt Warner. The site selected by an advisory committee of archi tects, composed of George B. Post, Bruce Price and Charles C. Haight, was at Twenty-fourth Street and Fifth Avenue for the arch— thus per mitting the addition of a colonnade, starting at Twenty-third Street and ending at Twenty-fifth Street. All of the members of the Society freely gave their services in mak ing the original models, and in superintending the final modeling of the figures and groups. The material employed is known as "white staff," closely resembling marble. While in general outline the arch suggests the Arch of Titus and Vespasian, erected in Rome by the Emperor Domitian in commemora tion of the taking of Jerusalem by the Roman legions, a definite change is made by follovidng the Arc de Triomphe of Paris in piercing east and west the piers, thereby lending lightness to the towering structure. The height of the arch proper is 80 feet, the figures composing Sculptor Ward's quadriga, which crowns it, making it reach the height of 100 feet from the roadway. The space inside the arch is 30 feet wide from pier to pier, and the full width is 70 feet. The actual cost of the arch was $35,000 for material and artisan labor. The work of the artists and sculptors who designed the structure and its embellishments is estimated at $350,000 in value, but was contributed by them as their share in welcoming Admiral Dewey. The most conspicuous feature of the arch is Ward's colossal figure of Victory, which crowns the structure. Standing amidst a group of Tri tons, at the bow of a boat drawn by sea horses. Victory is seen extending the crown of laurel to the hero of the day. On the large piers on the north and south sides of the arch are four colossal groups. They represent "The Call to Arms," by Philip Mar- tiny; "The Combat," by Karl Bitter; "The Triumphal ^Return," by Charles H. Niehaus; and " Peace," by Daniel C. French. The spandrels on the eastern and western fagades of the arch are occupied by two large alto-relievos, representing "The Protection of Our Country," by Wilham Couper, and "The Progress of Civilization," by Johannes S. Gelert. The spandrels of the large arch have figures symbolizing "The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans," by E. Hinton Perry and "The North and East Rivers," by Isidore Konti. The spandrels of the minor arches on penetration of Twenty-fourth Street are occupied by medallions as follows : " Commodore Lawrence," by Henry Baerer; "Commodore Preble," by Carl F. Hammann; "Commodore Bainbridge," by Ralph Goddard; "Commodore John Barry and Admiral Davies," by Frederick R. Kaldenberg; "Admiral Worden and Commodore Foote," by Frederick Moynihan; "Admiral Dahlgren," by Caspar Buberl. On the attic are placed eight figures, each nearly 12 feet in height.

Boyle; "Commodore Perry," by Jonathan S. Hartley; " Lieutenant Cushing, " by H. Augustus Lukeman ; "Admiral Farragut,'' by William Ordway Partridge. The impressive beauty and dignity of the arch are greatly increased by the colonnade leading up to it from the north and the south. These twelve groups of towering columns were an additional decoration to the reviewing point. On the pedestals of the triple columns at Twenty-third Street and facing south are elaborate groups. That on the east repre sents " The Army," by Frederick W. Ruckstuhl, and contains figures of soldiers belonging to the Revolutionary, Civil and American-Spanish wars. The group on the west symbolizes "The Navy," and was mod eled by George E. Bissell. The eastern and western groups on the northern pillars at Twenty-fifth Street represent " The East Indies," by Charles A. Lopez, and "The West Indies," by Isidore Konti. The double columns between the groups and the arch have a single figure of "Victory," designed and modeled by Herbert Adams. Massive globes crown each pillar and add much to the general effect. Never before has so elaborate a work of art been produced in this country. Its conception and execution shows the rapid progress in artistic taste among the people of America at the close of the nineteenth century. Already there is a movement on foot to reproduce the arch and colonnade in enduring marble and bronze. The cost of the per manent work is estimated at $1,000,000.

Coghlan GOVERNOR THEODORE ROOSEVELT GOING TO BOARD THE OLYMPIA TO WELCOME ADMIRAL DEWEY ON HTS ARRIVAL IN NEW YORK HARBOR The Olympia THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE, OVER THE EAST RIVER, AS IT APPEARED DURING THE NIGHTS OF SEPTEMBER : THE LETTERS, MADE UP OF THOUSANDS OF ELECTRIC LAMPS, WERE THIRTY-SIX FEET HIGH AND 30, 1899 New York's Official Reception The Grandest Welcome ever Given to a Nation's Hero PRELIMINARY RECEPTIONS UNDER bright warm skies, flecked by fleecy clouds, the people of the great city of New York gave on September 27, 28, 2g and 30, 1899, a gladsome and hearty wel come to Admiral George Dewey, the hero of Manila Bay. The demonstration during these four days was the most imposing and enthusi astic ever seen in this country, and the scene can be compared only with those occurring in London during Queen Victoria's Jubilee in 1897. It is estimated that 3,500,000 persons participated in the Dewey Reception on land and water, as actors or spectators, nearly 1,000,000 of these coming from the cities, towns and villages in other States of the Union. The official ceremonies during Friday and Saturday, September 29 and 30, were impres sive and picturesque, and but few accidents marred the occasion. The Admiral had promised that his flag ship, the Olympia, should arrive in New York waters on Thursday, September 28, but as he surprised the Spaniards at Manila, so he took the City Reception Committee unawares by passing Sandy Hook at daybreak of Tuesday, September 26, receiving a hasty and unusual salute from the formidable batteries placed at that strategic point. His unexpected arrival, however, made certain and secure all of the arrangements for the reception on sea and land, and also gave full opportunity for presentation of messages of welcome from the President of the United States and the Secretary of the Navy. There were also formal visits to the Admiral by Governor Theodore Roosevelt, who tendered him a welcome in behalf of the State of New York; by Major General Nelson A. Miles, commanding the United States Army; and by Major Gen'eral Wesley Merritt, com manding the Military Department of the East. Admiral Dewey also exchanged visits of cere mony with Rear Admiral Henry L. Howison, commanding the South Atlantic Squadron; Rear Admiral William T. Sampson, command ing the North Atlantic Squadron; and Rear Admiral John W. Philip, commanding at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. A delegation from the Municipal Reception Committee, consisting of St. Clair McKelway, Senator Chauncey M. Depew, General Howard Carroll, Richard Croker, Secretaries Warren W. Foster and Alfred M. Downes, and Ex-Assistant Secretary of the Navy William McAdoo, also called on the Admiral and explained the details of the ofiicial reception arrangements. At an early hour on Wednesday, September 27, the Olympia left her anchorage in the Horse shoe, near the New Jersey Highlands, and steamed up the bay to the naval rendezvous off Tompkinsville, Staten Island. Rear Admiral Howison's flagship, the Chicago, had just reached her anchorage after a very long voyage, and received the customary salutes from Rear Admiral Sampson's fleet, when the heavy batteries at Fort Wadsworth and Fort Hamilton opened fire with seventeen guns each as the Olympia approached, in honor of the ranking officer of the American Navy All of the war vessels at anchor followed suit as the Olympia approached, being joined by the Governor's Island batteries. For nearly an hour the morn ing air was rent by the deafening detonations of these guns on land and water, the return salutes of the Olympia being lost in the general clamor. Many yachts also fired salutes, and- there were guns fired on the New Jersey shore, while every steamboat and tug within hailing distance added to the uproar by long and pierc ing steam whistles. Then followed the cere monial visits already mentioned. THE CITY'S WELCOME At sunrise on Friday, September 29, the bay and harbor of New York became brilliant with color, for every vessel in port was early decked with flags and signals. Along the shore of Bay Ridge lay some eighty steam yachts waiting for the time to form column and join the marine escort to the Olympia on her passage up the North River to a final anchorage off the Grant Tomb. Each yacht was dressed in bunting from mast-head to water-line, every tint in the rainbow being presented as the flags fluttered in the bright sunshine. At the city wharves and docks on both sides of the North and East Rivers all of the shipping began to hoist a multitude of flags and ensigns The steam ships of all the foreign and domestic lines were particularly noticeable for their brilliant dis play of bunting. The American, the Red Star, the Holland-America, the Quebec, the Phoenix, the North German Lloyd, the W. R. Grace & Co's Merchants' Line, the New York and Cuba, the Plant, the Hamburg-American, the Panama, the Scandinavian- American, the Atlas, the White Star, the Starin, the Arrow, the Mallory, the Anchor, the Clyde, the French 109 IIO THE ADMIRAL DEWEY RECEPTION In the City of New York Line, the Havre, the Hayti, the Hahfax, the Cunard, the Cornell, the Porto Rico and all the other companies vied with each other in making a holiday display on their steamships and piers. All excursion steamboats preparing for passengers who intended to join the water parade were actually canopied with flags and streamers, while every tug and sailing vessel contributed to the wealth of color. From all lofty buildings of the city waved the Stars and Stripes, adding greater beauty to the inspiring scene. " Old Glory " was in its full glory, and the sun never shone on a more animated or magnificent spectacle. The strong breeze kept every flag in motion ; the air was crisp, though warm, and the prospect of a clear, fine day delighted the many thousands who proposed taking part in the grand water parade or view ing it from the banks of the North River. At a very early hour immense throngs of spectators began assembling at all vantage points on the water side. On Bay Ridge, Staten Island, the Battery, and every wharf on both sides of the Hudson River there were gathered many thousands, while the New Jersey cliffs and the slopes of Riverside Drive were dense with joyous spectators, all waiting for the marine pageant. On every command ing housetop in New York there were other thousands. The Chesebrough, the Washington, the Bowling Green, the Empire, the Standard Oil, the Washington Life, the St. Paul, the Dun, the New York Life and other towering downtown structures had each its quota of spectators, and all the way up town these masses of people were to be seen on all the lofty roofs. The Mayor's steamboat, the Sandy Hook, left pier A, North River, at ii o'clock. Among the Mayor's guests on board were: Governor George Wesley Atkinson, of West Vir ginia, and staff : Brigadier Generals John W. M. Apple- ton (Adjutant General), Thomas E, Davis, Arnold C.

THE OFFICIAL VISITS On arrival at the naval anchorage Mayor Van Wyck paid a visit of ceremony to the Olympia, being accompanied by his Secretary, Alfred M. Downes, and President Guggen heimer of the Council and President Woods of the Aldermen. The visitors were escorted by Admiral Dewey to his cabin, where the Mayor delivered his speech of welcome. He said: "Admiral Dewey — With pleasure and bythe direc tion of the city of New York, I meet you at her magnifi cent gateway to extend to you in her name and of her million visitors, leading citizens of forty-five States, representing almost every hamlet in the nation, a most cordial welcome, congratulating you upon being re stored to family and home. "A loving and grateful nation is gladdened by your safe return from the most remarkable voyage of history : so far-reaching in its results that the clearest mind cannot yet penetrate the distance. It has already softened the voice of other nations in speaking of ours; changed permanently the map of the world ; enlarged the field of American pride and completed the circle of empire in its western course. ''Your courage, skill and wisdom, exhibited in a single naval engagement of a few hours, brought victory to your country's arms, and then you dealt with your country's new relations to the world with the judgment of a trained diplomat. By common consent you have been declared warrior and states man — one who wears the military uniform until the enemy surrenders, and then dons the habit of the diplomat. " The greatest reception awaits you that was ever tendered to railitary or civil hero. Such an outpouring of the people was never dreamed of before. Never has the heart of America turned ^th such perfect accord and trusting confidence to one of her sons as it does to you. " I place at your disposal the freedom and unUmited hospitality of the city of New York." Admiral Dewey, deeply affected by the Mayor's glowing words, replied: " Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen — Of course it would be needless for me to attempt to make a speech, but my heart appreciates all that you have said. Ho"w it is that you have overrated me so much I cannot under stand. It is beyond anything I can conceive of why there should be such an uprising of the country. I simply did what any naval captain in the service would have done, I believe." Then, noticing the Mayor's stenographer, the Admiral exclaimed: " Oh, you don't want to take my speech; I couldn't make a speech worth reporting." "Admiral," said the Maj^or, "no tongue can ever utter or pen write an overestimate of what you did for your country. The City of Ne'w York has had made to commemorate this reception to you, the hero of the Spanish-American war, a badge, a fac-simile of which they desire I should present to you in commemoration of the event." '¦ How beautiful !" exclaimed the Admiral, bending over the sparkling badge of gold and diamonds. " How magnificent ! How splendid ! Oh, that is too beautiful! Here, Sing," to his Chinese attendant, " now pin that there, sir, so it won't drop off." On leaving the Olympia Mayor Van Wyck was saluted by the guard at the gangway. Admiral Dewey then returned the ceremonious visit required by naval etiquette, and all was ready for the grand water parade, which was to escort the war fleet to its new anchorage in the North River. THE WATER PARADE Weighing anchor on signal at the hour of noon, the war ships moved in stately line up the bay. Silent and grim, with only the regu lation flags flying, these powerful and battle- tried vessels steamed through the gaudily decked assemblage of peaceful craft that were to fall in line behind and form the escort, which then moved in the following order: Police boat Patrol Fireboats New Yorker and Van Wyck Sandy Hook, flying the flag of the City of New York Armored cruiser Olympia, flagship of Admiral Dewey, blue flag with four stars New York, armored cruiser, flagship of Rear-Admiral Sampson, red flag with two stars Indiana, battleship, first class Massachusetts, battleship, first class Texas, battleship, second class Brooklyn, armored cruiser Lancaster, gunnery ship, type of old navy, of the Hartford class Marietta, gunboat Scorpion, auxiliary cruiser Chicago, protected cruiser, flagship of Rear Admiral Howison, blue flag with two stars Torpedo boats Porter.

All of the escorting vessels were loaded with guests and passengers, fully 150,000 per sons being thus afloat. Notwithstanding the immense number of yachts, steamboats, pro pellers and tugs that had received positions in the parade line, the several divisions moved promptly and in good order, the column being some twelve miles in length. As these gaily decorated craft steamed in the wake ofthe war ships the bright rays of the sun that had illumined the striking and magnificent display of bunting suddenly became overcast, and for a few minutes there was a slight shower of soft. 112 THE ADMIRAL DEWEY RECEPTION In the City of New York warm rain. But as the Olympia passed the Statue of Liberty the rain-cloud drifted rapidly over Long Island and the sun threw a brilliant rainbow on the northern sky, one end seeming to rest on the Island of Manhattan, the other on the New Jersey hills. The beautiful omen was greeted with gladness alike by those on the vessels of war and of peace, and the mighty flotilla swept on up the broad Hudson. As the Olympia drew near the Battery, tumultuous cheers greeted the flagship of the hero of the day, uttered by the 20,000 spectators waiting there. These cheers were soon taken up by the other crowds along the shore, all the way up the river, making a great volume of sound as it floated over the breeze-kissed waters of the harbor. Above the Grant Tomb had been anchored ruled the hour, and amidst all this joyful and somewhat discordant clamor Admiral Dewey stood on the bridge of his flagship, amazed, and almost stunned, by the vigor and sincerity of his welcome to the land of his birth, which he had served so brilliantly and well. By sun set the marine parade had dissolved and silence again rested on the river. THE PYROTECHNIC DISPLAY As the shades of night began to fall upon the holiday-throbbing city, vast throngs were re-assembling on the wharves of Manhattan Island, Brooklyn, Jersey City and Hoboken, all eager to see the promised displays of fireworks that were to close the festivities of the day. While these crowds were gathering on the banks of the North and East Rivers a curious perfect network of light occupied the sky. The Atlas globe on the tower of the New York Life Building was illuminated. In the centre of the Brooklyn Bridge stood fiery letters, 36 feet high, forming the oft-repeated legend ' ' Wel come Dewey." Anchored off Hoboken was the Erin, the steam yacht of Sir Thomas Lipton, who had come to race for the America Cup. The yacht had her masts and funnels defined by lines of electric light, the word "Erin" hanging amidships in dazzling green letters. Then a new feature in this brilliant display was added, for all of the warships were soon ablaze with electricity, while their powerful searchlights danced to and fro over the now glittering waters of the Hudson River. Wher ever the eye turned, it was blinded by the magic' light of the dynamo, and all the cities Lieut. Brumby Lieut. Mulligan Capt. Wildes Rear Admiral Philip Capt. Lamberton Admiral Dewey Marines VISIT OF ADMIRAL DEWEY TO REAR ADMIRAL PHILIP AT THE BROOKLYN NAVY YARD GUARD OF MARINES SALUTING two large railroad floats bearing gigantic figures of Victory and Peace. Sailing between these triumphal decorations the Olympia turned down stream, and, on re-passing General Grant's Tomb, fired a national salute of 21 guns, com ing to anchor soon after. Each of the war vessels followed suit in firing salutes and anchored in Une below the Olympia. The column of escorting vessels followed the same route, passing the fieet as it proceeded to the dispersing point off West 23d Street. The scene that ensued was most remarkable. Cheers rose again and again from a million human throats, the yachts fired salutes, which were returned by a battery of artillery stationed on a railroad float near at hand, and every steam whistle on steamboat, propeller and tug rent the air with its piercing voice. A feeling of mad enthusiasm glow of light was thrown over the waters of the harbor. Docks, warehouses and sheds on the river piers, the big buildings and ferry houses, soon had their outlines defined by rows of elec tric lamps. The Pennsylvania Railroad slips were made visible by huge keystones, the Am erican Line of steamships flashed forth a large panel in living fire bearing the word ' • Wel come "in big letters. The legend "Welcome to Dewey " flashed from the docks of the Cen tral Railroad of New Jersey, and tl-.ere were countless designs on many of the piers tm the New York shore to add beauty to the picture. Searchlights threw their powerful rays from the Brooklyn Bridge towers, the Madison Square Garden, the Bowling Green and many other noticeable structures. Similar rays were flashed from Brooklyn and Jersey City until a seemed to be bathed in harmless fire. Those who were fortunate in seeing this wondrous spectacle from the committee and excursion steamboats found themselves passing through a fairyland of light, while the Statue of Liberty began to glow in the huge bed of red fire ignited at its base. Many of the Pennsylvania ferryboats were illuminated on every deck and along their guards, adding to the bewildering masses of light as they passed from slip to slip. Rockets and bombs then rose from the parks of Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn and other bor oughs, and lofty buildings were brought into bold relief as masses of red fire burned on their roofs. Suddenly a shower of rockets rose from floats opposite the Grant Tomb, and on the upper waters cf the East River, followed by THE ADMIRAL DEWEY RECEPTION In the City of New York "3 pyrotechnic bombs, which, bursting, filled the sky with huge masses of red, white, blue and green fire. The thunder of cannon was next heard and these floats began moving down stream. For over two hours there was a con stant and ever-changing torrent of colored fire, the warships taking an active part in the daz zling display by discharging signal rockets originally intended for use in time of war. As the floats were swiftly towed down stream, the banks of both rivers became almost as distinct as at mid-day, and when these floating volcanoes met off the Battery, greater torrents of bombs, rockets and Roman candles rose, until it seemed as if the entire harbor had suddenly taken fire. The sulphurous gases from these displays soon precipitated the threatening rain, which began falling heavily on land and water, sending the dawn railroad trains followed each other in rapid succession, bringing visitors from afar, and the streets of New York were soon thronged with people, all eager to witness the closing ceremonies in a reception such as had never been given even to the Imperial Caesars of the Roman Empire. Every elevated, cable, electric or trolley car at the disposal of the street railroad companies in all the boroughs of thfe consolidated city was set running, yet they were unable to carry all the travelers. The air was filled with the music of bands or the roll of drums, as 30,000 sailors and soldiers marched uptown to their several rendezvous, while over 3,000,000 men, women and children pro ceeded to some selected point on the line of march. Those who did not possess tickets for a stand were among the first to appear, and by U. S. Senator Chauncey M. Depew, Richard Croker, St. Clair McKelway, and Warren W. Foster, Secretary of the Dewey Executive Committee. Breakfast was served in the cabin by Delmonico, but the Admiral and his aides had already broken their fast on nautical fare and took only coffee. The Patrol reached Pier A, North River, at 8.20 o'clock, and as the Admiral stepped ashore a salute of seventeen guns was fired in good style by a police detail with cannon they had borrowed from the Navy Yard. Walking quickly between two lines of policemen, the party emerged on Battery Place plaza, where they were met by another sub-committee, headed by ex-Commissioner William Berri. Here the Admiral shook hands with Rounds man Cornelius P. Tubbs. St. Clair McKelway Admiral Dewey Patrolman William Mackey Roundsman Cornelius P. Tubbs ADMIRAL DEWEY LANDING AT PIER A,, NORTH RIVER, SEPTEMBER 30 HIS FIRST STEP ON MANHATTAN ISLAND ON HIS RETURN FROM MANILA countless thousands of spectators to shelter, though shelter was often diflficult to find. As the last rocket and bomb burst and disappeared the people hastened to their homes, wet but en tirely satisfied with the magnificent spectacle they had witnessed. Admiral Dewey saw it from the deck of his flagship, being too tired by the events of the day to be able to accept Mayor Van Wyck's invitation to make a tour of the rivers on the steamboat Sandy Hook. Then the rain ceased, and the electric lights on house top and pier renewed their brilliancy and main tained it until daylight. THE FINAL DAY On Saturday morning, September 30, the sun again shone brightly, giving cheerful promise of a clear, warm day. From early 9 o'clock every foot of sidewalk space for seven and a half miles was fully occupied. Even those who had secured seats on some one of the immense number of stands along the route were early in their places, so that at the hour of 10 o'clock nearly everybody was ready. Admiral Dewey stepped out of his cabin on the Olympia at seven bells, and, descending the after-starboard gangway to his barge, was quickly taken to the police boat Patrol. The Admiral was in the full uniform of his high rank, and accompanied by Captain Benjamin P. Lamberton, Flag Lieutenant Thomas M. Brumby, and Ensign Harry H. Caldwell, his secretary. On reaching the Patrol the Admiral was received at the gangway by a police platoon guard and by the special reception committee, consisting of ex- Vice- President Levi P. Morton, The second troop of Squadron A had been drawn up along the north side of the park, where a line of carriages was also in waiting. Before entering his carriage, the genial Admiral noticed some newspaper reporters he had met on the Olympia while she lay off Tompkinsville. "Do you know, boys," he said, laughingly, " I've hardly got my eyes open yet. I'll have to hurry and get them open, won't I, or I'll miss some of the best parts of the celebration." ' ' What do you think of your reception thus far ? " asked one of the group. "Magnificent, perfectly magnificent." Then there was a blare of cavalry trimipets, and the cavalcade started for the City Hall. Scarcely had he entered Broadway when the eyes of the Admiral were attracted by the mul titude of flags and other decorations before him 114 THE ADMIRAL DEWEY RECEPTION In the City of New York ADMIRAL DEWEY AND MAYOR VAN WYCK LEAVING CITY HALL, AFTER PRESENTATION OF THE GOLD LOVING CUP PHOTOGRAPHED BY THEO. K. HASTINGS IN FRONT OF THE HOME LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY BUILDING, OPPOSITE CITY HALL and he remarked on their profusion and beauty. As the cortege swept by old Trinity Church chimes in its lofty steeple played patriotic tunes. THE GOLD LOVING CUP As usual, the Admiral was ahead of his schedule time, and arrived at the grand stand in front of the City Hall before he was expected. The 1,500 school children who were to occupy the opposite stand and sing national odes had not yet assembled, nor did they arrive until the Admiral had departed, thereby causing poign ant grief among the little ones, who, however, went through their programme for the enter tainment of some ten thousand delighted spec tators. Mayor Van Wyck received the Admiral on the high platform. There a group was ar ranged, preparatory to the presentation of the gold loving cup ordered by the Reception Com mittee. In this group were Governor Theodore Roosevelt, Warner Van Norden, Captain Frank Wildes of the Boston, ex-Mayors William L. Strong and Frederick W. Wurster, Senator Chauncey M. Depew, President Seth Low, Gen eral Howard Carroll, Major General Nelson A. Miles, ex- Vice-President Levi P. Morton, Gen eral Horatio C. King, Richard Croker, Rear Admiral Schley, Comptroller Bird Sim Coler, James C. Carter, Captains Joseph B. Coghlan and Nehemiah M. Dyer, and Commander Ed ward P. Wood, with the Special Escort Com mittee. On seeing Rear Admiral Schley, the Admiral greeted him most cordially, and when the hero of Santiago Bay replied, saying ' ' Ad miral," the hero of Manila Bay exclaimed: **No, no, Schley, I'm no Admiral to you. We are just boys together, as in the old days." Taking advantage of a moment of silence, the Mayor stepped forward, and said: ADMIRAL Dewey— The true dignity of manhood can never be over-estimated in the study of the influ ences which build up or preserve a state. Hero- worship, if it be merely a manifestation of a full recognition and appreciation of such manhood in the individual leader's performance of duty to State, either in war or in peace, is most commendable. It holds up his high standard to be emulated by the living as well as the unborn millions to be. To such a hero death itself bows, for he lives in memory for all time. In this spirit I shall not hesitate in this presence to freely express America's estimate of your character and achievements. The nation would gladly have its dominion extended over the face of the globe, in order that admiring millions of additional fellow-citizens might be here to-day to pay homage to you and wel come you back. Your countrymen are interested in and know every detail of your life. Your joys and your sorrows are theirs. They have traced your ancestry and your character and deeds from the cradle rocked by a fond mother, to the Olympia rocked by the rolling waves of the mighty deep. Tney listen with delight to the story of the fighting Deweys bravely doing their duty in every war of their country for two hundred and fifty years; of your pointing out, when a mere child, to your father the pictures in the clouds of ships and battles, including the battle of Lake Erie and the form of Perry saving his country's flag from the disabled ship ; of the devotional impress stamped upon your character by a loving mother ; of your struggle with the schoolmaster, w^hich taught the necessity of dis cipline in the affairs of life ; of your inherited love for children and music ; of your alert, bright and vivacious boyhood, mingled with the mischievous, but never ¦with the malicious ; of your deferential respect for those of your mother's sex ; of the romance of your courtship and happy marriage ; of your service under Admiral Farragut in the Gulf Squadron as the execu tive officer of the Mississippi, when you plunged iron shot and shell through the armor of the Confederate ram Manassas ; of the sturdy and fearless manner in which you defended your ship against the guns of Port Hudson, and the quiet and orderly manner in w^hich you abandoned her w^hen she sunk, calling for special commendation of your superiors in their report ; of the circumstance that between wars Farragut for forty- eight years and you for thirty-three years devoted yourselves to the study of your profession, and both at the end of a long peace w^ere found fully equipped and ready to give your country splendid service and to raise yourselves to the highest plane of fame and renown. The romance of sea warfare has charmed and en chanted the imagination of man as no other tlieme has ever done, arousing in him the sentiment of patriotism and inspiring the poet with songs of his country and her heroes. This has always been so, whether in the times when Neptune with his trident rode the sea in a shell-shaped boat drawn by dolphins, or when the Vik ings roved the north main carrying all before them, or when the sea kings with the modern navy were stationed upon the ocean to guard and protect the equal rights of civilized governments and their commerce upon the highways of the sea. The world stood enthralled and then broke out in loud huzzas which can never be silenced, when the electric spark flashed the news over the globe that on the ist of May_, i8g8, your fleet had destroyed in Manila Bay the Spanish navy, silencing the forts and taking the Philippine Islands, thus stripping the East of every vestige of Spanish domination. Spain was that mo ment conquered. The Pacific Ocean was that instant THE ADMIRAL DEWEY RECEPTION In the City of New York 115 cleared of hostile forces, leaving to the remainder of our naval and laud forces the task of sweeping clean the Atlantic Ocean and her islands of the depressed, half-famished and scattered bands of Spanisli strag glers. This all was accoraplished in a naval battle of less than seven hours, including the coolly-ordered in termission for breakfast. Not an American killed, but two hundred Spaniards laid low, seven hundred wounded, the Spanish navy destroyed and an empire lost to her forever. History records no achievement of such superb completeness as the battle in Manila Bay. This demonstration is no mere tribute to a personal friend, a fellow citizen. It is a simple and deserved recognition of the debt due the public servant who has proved himself grandly and officially faithful to his country's welfare and honor. You are called a man of destiny. You are ; but it is the destiny of merit and worth — the conscientious obedience to duty of one skilled in his art and judgment. Our republic has no reason to fear a comparison of her sea fighters with those of other nations. The birth of the republic gave her Paul Jones ; the war for freedom of ocean highways gave her Perry, and the war for her moral and physical integrity gave her Farragut. She points with pride to each one of this trinity, and says to all nations, '' iMatch him if you can." The war against Spain, waged for common humanity's sake in behalf of her island neigh bors, gave her Dewey, who can safely be proclaimed chief among the naval heroes of the world. The route of these idolized nautical sons of the republic is well marked. Their exploits go resounding through time, partaking of the vast and overwhelming character of the ocean upon which they rode, lived, acted and attained their great achievements, which are the pride of all Americans. From your entry to your departure from Manila Bay yon were a history maker, and if the old style prevailed of naming the period after him who bore the most illustrious name of any living man, this would be known as the Dewey age. Solitary in the grandeur of your achievements, you are lifted above all those who have gone before you. To the Mayor has been assigned the personally pleasant duty of presenting to you, in the name of the City of New York, the metropolis of our country, this loving cup, a keepsake, to remind you from time to time of her love for you and her special pride in your deeds of valor, "which she believes will for ages to come insure the full respect of all nations and people for our starry flag, whether flung to the breeze over the man- of-war or the ship of commerce. Admiral Dewey was visibly embarrassed by the ejilogium of the Mayor, but replied as follows: Mr. M.^YOR: It will be quite impossible for me to express in words how deeply I'm moved by this — all these honors— one after the other : That beautiful cup -ythe freedom of the city, this great, magnificent recep tion. I cannot say what I want, but speaking for my self and the gallant squadron I had the honor to conimand at Manila, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Turning around and pointing to his Manila Bay Commanders — Lamberton, Walker, Dyer, Wildes and Wood — the Admiral added: *' These are the men that did it. Only for them I couldn't have done it." The tone of sincerity with which he uttered these last words impressed every hearer. The magnificent gold loving cup which was thus presented to the Admiral cost $5,000,- and was designed and made by Tiffany & Co. It is Roman in form, and made entirely of eighteen- carat gold. The handles are formed of three dolphins wrought in green gold. Around the neck are forty-five stars emblematic of the union of the States. The body of the cup is divided by the handles into three panels, which are employed for the principal decorations. On the front panel is a portrait in relief of Admiral Dewey, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, the whole resting upon an eagle with out stretched wings. Underneath this panel, upon the band around the foot of the cup, are the letters "G. D.,U. S. N." The second panel has a picture of the Olympia, chased in half relief, and beneath is a shield with the four stars, betokening the recip ient's grade. On the third panel is an escut- . cheon, upon which is engraved the inscription, "Presented to Admiral Dewey by the City of New York." The coat of arms of the City of New York appears below this inscription. About the foot are a, series of anchors, a rope tied in three knots, dolphins, seaweed, and other nautical devices. The cup is illustrated on page 150. It stands 13 inches high, and has a capacity of 4)4 quarts. After presenting the cup there was no delay in starting for the steamboat waiting at the foot of Warren Street to carry the Admiral and his escort to the Riverside Drive. THE LAND PARADE The trip up the North River was quickly made. Admiral Dewey being in most excellent spirits, relating anecdotes of the Philippine campaign, greeting old friends and shaking hands with those gentlemen who were pre sented to him. His love for children was again shown when he landed at the recreation pier at the foot of West 125th Street, for he cheer fully greeted a bashful little boy, shook hands with him and asked him how he liked the show. Major General Roe, having meanwhile received satisfactory reports from all the division com manders, then announced that everything was ready for the parade. "Then let us start at once," said the Admiral. ' ' We must not keep the people waiting." The Admiral having seen his orderly, Sut ton, seated beside the coachman, stepped into his carriage, as did the other guests and comniit- teemen, and they were quickly driven to I22d Street, where the sailors of the flagship Olympia were waiting to escort their beloved com mander.

Warren Keifer, commanding Battalion, consisting of the famous Astor Battery and Manhattan Borough Volunteers Spanish-American War Colonel John Jacob Astor, commanding First American Flag hoisted on Morro Castle, carried like a blanket by twelve Santiago Veterans Battalion consisting of Brooklyn Borough Volunteers of the Spanish-American War Colonel William Henry Hubbell, commanding Police Rear Guard SCENES ALONG THE ROUTE Along the entire route of march, from One Hundred and Twenty-second Street, on River side Drive, just below Grant's Tomb, down to the Triumphal Arch and Court of Honor, in Madison Square, a multitude of stands had been erected for the accommodation of spectators, many having twenty-five rows of seats. Every window and many of the roofs along the route were occupied. Admiral Dewey thus passed through dense masses of people, all wild with enthusiasm and patriotic fervor. From the moment that the battalion of Olympia sailors and the Admiral's carriage came in sight at the beginning of the route until the hero alighted to review the long column of troops, tumultuous cheers filled the warm September air. The Admiral was evidently embarrassed by the warmth of his reception and he told Mayor Van Wyck that it was more trying to his nerves than the nocturnal entrance into the Bay of Manila. But as these volleys of cheers continued to beat upon his head, the destroyer of Montojo's fieet grew accustomed to the torrent of popular clamor, and contented himself with acknowledging each new salute by politely touching his gold-laced chapeau. A beautiful feature was the immense stand erected on Central Park West at Seventy-second Street. It was occupied by 2,300 children representing all the boroughs of the consolidated city. These children wore white and blue caps and capes, and were so arranged that those who wore the blue represented the word "Dewey" against a background of white, producing a very novel effect. As the Admiral's carriage turned out of Seventy-second Street the chil dren burst into a mighty chorus with ' ' See ! the Conquering Hero Comes ! " All along the route Rear Admiral Sampson and Rear Admiral Schley received hearty and enthusiastic greetings, as did also Admiral Dewey's fighting captains, Dyer, Lamberton, Wildes and Coghlan and Commander Walker. Admiral Dewey recognized Miss Helen Gould, as she sat on the platform in front of her Fifth Avenue residence, and gracefully lifted his chapeau, receiving a smile and a bow. The head of the marching column was halted at Thirty-fourth Street to permit the occupants of carriages to take their places on the reviewing stand at Twenty-fourth Street. With his accustomed promptitude the A dmiral soon signified his readiness to review the troops and they began marching, nearly four hours being required for the entire column to pass that point. Admiral Dewey carefully attended to the acknowledgment of salutes of officers and he rigidly obeyed the regulations calling for salutes to the national flag. A pretty young woman came forward during the afternoon to present some flowers to the hero of the day. As the Admiral turned to accept the fragrant gift his e}'e caught sight of the Stars and Stripes carried by a regiment. " One moment. Miss," said the Admiral, as he lifted his chapeau to the flag. ' ' Now I will take the flowers. They are very beautiful. Thank you very much.'' On another occasion a magnificent bunch of orchids was handed to the Admiral. Learn ing that the flowers had come from a lady occupying one of the Hofl^man House windows, he gallantly turned around and bowed his acknowledgments to the unknown giver. The next moment he was again saluting the flag he had so bravely unfurled in Manila Bay. THE FINALE Admiral Dewey, having seen the American- Spanish war veterans pass, was quickly driven in company with the Mayor to the Waldorf- Astoria. A family party had been contem plated for Saturday evening, but the strain on the Admiral's physical powers proved so severe the plan was abandoned, and soon after dining with his stafi: he retired for the night. Sunday also was devoted to rest. THE OLYMPIA SAILORS' SMOKER A smoker-vaudeville entertainment was given on Saturday evening to the Olympia's "men-behind-the-guns," in the ball room of the Waldorf-Astoria. The sailors were de lighted with the entertainment provided for their amusement. They were also briefly addressed by their first Captain, John J. Read, General Miles, Sir Thomas Lipton and Rear Admiral Schley, who were detected among the spectators in the boxes. There was an abund ance of refreshments, but every Jackie present left the room sober but enthusiastic. THE ADMIRAL'S DEPARTURE Bright and early on Monday, October 2, the Admiral rose and breakfasted, finding the Washington committee waiting to escort him to Jersey City. In due time he entered the special train and started for Washington, where he received more honors, the chief incident being the presentation of the magnifi cent sword voted him by Congress.
