Dewey Entered New York Harbor Two Days Early* ARRIVED TUESDAY MORNING Admiral's First Visit Was to Sir Thomas Lipton- Overwhelmed bv Regard of His j Countrymen. Admiral Dewey arrived off York on the 01vrap**a-at dawn on Tuesday * morning of last week. The first shot of welcome was from the pilots and crew of a pilot boat, No, 7, 15 miles south of the Hook lightship. It happened to , be Pilot John Pjterson's turn, and at 5:30 a. m., he was put aboard the Oiympia and brought her around the Hook and into the lower bay. The marine observers along the coast had sighted the Oiympia in the first* light of the morniog. The shore batteries of Fort Hancock, manned by gunners called from breakfast, let loose 17 guns. The flagship replied with 21 and let go her anchors not far from nrV^/>nn Honour Shamrock is ? ? moored. The admiral was ia his own country again, after 23 months' absence. The pilot had brought aboard the Sunday papers, and a reporter of the Associated Press was received by the admiral in a cabin littered by the illustrated Dewey editions, which together made hundreds of pages in black and -white, and in colors, all concerning the great admiral and the preparations made to receive him. "It almost saddens me." he said, "to see what my people arc doing for me. The pride and gratification is immense, and I cannot express the appreciation I feel. I did not kn^w; I didn't really perceive until this morning the splendid welcome that my countrymen are giving me. The governors of many States are coming to- see me, and troops from Florida, Georgia a&d other faraway States are on their way to take part in receiving me." Admiral Dewey stroked the head of a tawny-haired dog. the Chow dog of a Chinese breed that appears in the illustrated interviews with the admiral. "Bob here," he said, "is not well. He yearns to be. ashore. He is sick to get a little grass and to scamper around. I feel a good deal that way myself. I am mightly glad to get home. It isn't go ;d for a man any more than a dog to live on shipboard for 23 months." The admiral said that he i'elt tired, but he did not look so. His complextion is a clear broLZe, . his hazel eyes bright, hi3 bearing brisk and rather jaunty. Some deep lines are under his eyes and around his mouth, but his roice is singularly clear aa3 pleasant. The admiral's whole presence is that'of Itean in his fullest powers. His manMis gentle and kind, bat he is exceed^ly wary and?aid not permit himself ^ ^ ?-?+ / % 11 rit tn ayptymsp iaj wauuci yu iutv w ? those positive views he no doubt holds about the Philippine and American affairs there. His attention was brought to interviews in which he is described as going rather fully into the character of the Filipinos and their fitness for self-government. "**1 cannot stand for any interview giving my opinions on political subjects and the Philippines. I disown any views ascribed to me on those subjects." Alluding to his arrival two days | ahead of the time he was expected, Ad- 1 miral Dewey said: ':I am sorry that I I am ahead of the schedule. The Oiym- j pia has been steami1 g at the uoiiorm j rate of ten knots an hour since we leit I Gibraltar. Several days ago we knew j that we would arrive Thursday unless j ? we moderated our speed or went some- ' where out of our course. Oapt. Lamberton, Lieut. Brumby and I held a consultation. The propriety of running into Hampton Roads or some other ! port in the South was spoken of, but we concluded that we ought not to touch land first anywhere except at New York. It was suggested that we cruise some distance outside New York harbor until Thursday, but we knew that -- ill J * J if we did tiiat we wouia oe aiscoverju and reported. The weather looked a little squally and it seemed to be better to be inside the Hook than outside. But the consideration that really decided us to come into port was to give Capt. Lamberton a chance to clean up the snip before oar voyage up the harbor. Capt. Lamberton and I are very kproud of the Oiympia and we wanted enough time at our anchorage to rub her down and make her look spick and span." The Oiympia looks as smart now as a racbt. The anchors were hardly down j ^fore details of the crew were washing .o whitp sides and touching UD I ~ -?- w the stairs with paint. The admiral's first business was to send an officer ashore with telegrams for the navy department, Mayor Van Wyck and Gsd. Butterfieid, announcing the arrival. He then spent most of the morning over new^apers and receiving report ?? ? ? o rr> ^ rl o TT ers. lie was JUJu UU^mu^a uiuua; breakfast when Sir Thomas Lipton called on him. With Sir Thomas were Dr. Mackay and other visiting Eoglishmen. "I suppose you have come for the tea,"sa<d Adm'-ral Dewey, referring to L Sir Thomas's gift of five pounds of tea 4:o each man on the ship while he was at mm Coloinbo. uXo, you're welcome .0 that if anybody can drink it." replied Sir Tho.nas. The admiral ana the owner of the cup challenger had a 15 minutes talk As Sir Thomas ana his friends left l the Olympic a half hundred of the j p ship's crewforward cheered the baro- j net. i^I couldn't stop 'em," cried Admiral i wavirg his hand at Sir Thomas > ''They h.-.dii't any ordtrs to ; H|1 Dewey then had a succes- 1 Stable callcrs.

Dr. Sanborn of the port physicians' stall visited the Olympia and looked at her papers. Eleven of the crew of 375 men have typhoid fever. Some of the eases are conva'escent and oil of them are of a mild type according to Dr. Pert-Vio chin's snr;rf>nD. Xo One has - o # died cf the fever, and with the exception the sailors and marines are well. Dr. Percy is unable to account for the presence of typhoid on the ship. The cases a.e not numerous or serious enough to cause him alarm, and it is probable that the sick men will be taken asho ? to a hospital. Uii rze B dwell, collector of the port. Pes'master Yancott and several of th?j cis... 2113 officials visited the admiral aud were personally conducted arcuud the ship by him. All day tugs, sail boats and excursion steamers came up near the 01} mpia and took a look at her. Everybody who asked was permitted to come on board. The Olympiad anchorage was rather a lonely place, and altogether not a great many vessels made a point ot going there. It is, how<-ver. near the: main ship channel. The North German Loyd steamer Saale, outward bound; passed close to the Olpmpia The Saale's passeneers crowded to the rails. Admiral Dewey responded to waving pocket handkerchiefs by lifting his cap several times. The SaaleV band played 'The Sta* Spangled. Banner," and the Olympia dipped her flag. The CunarderJQraiiia passed out half an hoi"* afr^rwards. She fired 17 sig nal b<inbs. Admiral Dewey directed the Olympia's band to play ' God Save the Queen." ?~ ? "V The admiral, about 5 o'clock, returned Sir Thomas Lipton's j visit. Lieut. Brumby and the admiral's son, Geo, G. Dewey, were with him. Sir Thomas met the admiral at the starboard gangway of the Erin with his friends and the entire party went to the after cabin, where the health of the admiral, the Shamrock and, of course, the Columbia; were drank amia enthusiasm. The admiral remained on board for nearly half an hour and then started for his ship. The Erin's crew began to cheer and as his launch drew awav the entire ships' company, guests, of Sc^rs, crew, servants. Cingalese and all, I led by Sir Thoma?, with a nip, hip, hip gave three honest cheers, the kind that the admiral heard fr^m the British warships in Mani'a bay. Admiral Dewey waved his gold bound cap like a school b^y as he stood on the rail of hi> little white canopied laur.ch^ A Gunboat CapttuedA dispatch from Manila says the insurgents have capturtd the United Stares gunboat Urdaneta. in the O ani river, in the northwest sideof Manila bay, where she was patrolling. One' officer ana nine of her creware missing. The United S-ates gunboat Petrel, s-ent to investigate the matter, returned aud reported that the Urdaneta waa beached 0 r\ : .U, opp w-ife tne town 01 vraui, uu iuc Orani river. She was riddled with ballets and burned, and the following guts, with their ammunition, were captured: Oae 1-pourider, one Colt automatic gun and one Xordenfeldt 25-miilimetro gun. The crew of the Urdaneta are prisoners or have been killed. Further details are lacking. A SMALL BOAT. A disnatch from Washington says the gunboat Urdaneta which was captured with her crew at Orani, about 25 miles from Manila, on the Bty of Manila, is a little craft of only 40 tons displacement, noli much larger than a small tug. She flras capture-! by the navy early in the war and has been o*? police duty in the .bay for mouths past. The records of the navy department show that she was one of the boats of which the Oregon is the parent *>hip. That is she was supposed to draw all of her supplies from the battleship, to be manned from the Oregon's ere* and to act under the instructions of the Oregon's commander. According to the last rcpvr:s to the department, the little boat was last May under command of Naval Oadet Welbjrn C. Wood, but the personnel of the crew is no; a matter of record, being subject to frequent change. Wood was appointed to the naval academy from Oregon, had pass ed his academic,course and was'performing two years' service at the time of his capture. ' . Will Dewey Kun? The presidential bee is undoubtedly buzzing under the cap of Admiral Dewey. The temptation is too great for him to resisc, aud despite his seeming indifference to the feeiiag of his countryman it can be plainly seen that Dewey is th'nkiog of g*eucr honors than have already been piled upon him. 'I guess I'll stick to ihe ?e;i,'' says the good-natured hero, but that is the strongest language he has u^ed in speak ing of the presidency. To announce his candidacy at this time would be distasttful and wholly presumptiou?, but! it can be said that the Dewey boom is on. TUT V i* caning iiLuuii. Messrs. J. D. Ha>elden snd T. C. Robinson of the State board <>f control, the committee to investigate irregularities in the contraband room of' the State dispensary, have about completed their work and will nox prepare their report to be submitted at the meeting of the board next week. It is thought that the disclosures will not be | so very startling as has been presumed, J but the facts will doubtless be sufficient | to cause some changes in the office.

At the produce exchange, to, which v the cotton men took them, they were similarly received and attended the musical close of the day's prore-dings. Thence the party went to the navy vara in Brooklyn where they were given a charming reception by Admiral Philip ^ in person and Lieut. Mu ligan. These officers took charge of the visitors and to >k them over the Cincinnati and Buffalo. They also eave them a clcse personal inspection of the Yacht Col- t] umbia in the dry dock.

The rush to get d aboard the Olympia never abated for-a v minute, and as great indulgence was b shown Dy Admiral Dewey, a goodly por- t tion of those who besieged the gang- 0 ways got aboard. At times the ship t was fairly overrun. These crowds and the official visits the aanr.rai received n scarcely gave him and his officers time D to breathe. f Owing to the stream of official visi- p tors, the roar of salutes continued al- 0 most without interruption all day. 1 Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, at the head of the Washington committee, called e * ? ft . i to submit tne programme ior tne re- j; eeption at the national capital, and fe Maj. Gen. Merritt and his staff, stiff g with gold braid, came over from Gover- a nor's Island to officially welcome Admiral Dewey in the name of the army, c They were received with all the honors 4 befitting their rank. a Commander George W. Baird, who t sailed with Farragut and Dewey in the e west Gulf squadron in 1861, unrolled a package rhich he had carefully guard- J ed all the way to the Olympia and dis- 1, playing a faded blue admiral's ensign d upon which-were stiched four white j stirs, he said to Admiral Dewey: "Ad- 9 miral, I wish to present to you the first i admiral's flap ever 'broken out' in the 4 navy of this country. The grand old v> admiral whose name and memory all so k revere, first hoisted this ensign uooo k the good 3hip Hartford, before New a Orleans, and afterward upon the Franklin, and since it came down from that 3 *nasthf?ad.vit has never been whipped bj a fhe wind or worn by the elements, fc You, the worthy successor of that great a admiral whose tactics you so success- i, fully followed a short while ago, I deem e the proper person for Farragut's mantle to fall upon." This flag was made by Quartermaster Knowles out of a blue "number', flag when Farragut was first made a rear ? admiral. Two white stars were sewed on it. When Farragut was made aD d admiral two more white stars were sewed on it. Farragut fLw this flag on the a tT.uf \T?w flrlfloni ^ JJ.H uwaftu r in the Mediterranean. 1 Admiral Dewey was deeply affected and tea::s were in his eyes as he gazed ? at the souvenir. It was several mo *ments before he could find his voice. Finally he said: 'Til fly it?I'll fly it ' at the masthead?I'll fly it in the parade?I'll fly it always?and?and, s! when I strike my admiral's flag this will ' be the flag I shall strike." 11 This was the-most impressive scene c that has occurred on theOlympia since ? her arrival in port and for some time no 1' one spoke. The silence was broken by Dewey who called his Chinese steward c and ordered a case of champagne. Thursday night there was a prelimi nary illumination of rare beauty. Ail the buildings on the wator front were S lighted up On the Brooklyn bridge, b in letters of fire 30 feet high, flashed t< the words, "Welcome D?wey," while C simultaneously from th2 shores of the 1< East and North rivers, Staten and G Governor's islands, red fire glowed and 1 sputtered, sending'up fantastic clouds ( of smoke, turning the calm water into 0 a sea of lurid flame and transforming S the craft in the harbor into red spec- 0 tres. v While much powder was flung into ^ smoke down the bay Thursday, much ' more was burned Friday during the naval pageant up the Hudson River. The marine parade eclipsed all previous water pageant on this side of the world. It moved at one o'clock, in four divis- ] ions. First, came the Olympia, flaDk- c ' ' ' 'L- ^ n ed on eitner side Dy me lorpeuu uu#m. j They were followed by a fleet in doable t column, led by the Carsair, the flag- p ship of the New iork Yacht club. The \ third division of the fleet consisted of j the merchant marine steamers and an j indiscriminate fleet of tugs, barges and unattached vessels brought up the rear. The line was several miles long, some estimates going as high as nine. When the parade reached (irant's tomo in ^ River park the Olymoia came to anchor ^ below two beautiful floats representing 1 Peace and Victory, and each warship * in its turn dropped in below the flag- j ship. The national salute of 21 guns ^ was fired in honor of the hero of Appo- ^ matox. The torpedo boats and revenue a cutters anchored opposite the line of I warships under the bluff, and between these two lines the civic part of the parade passed in review. Friday night the i'luminatiens and g fire works were grand, and surpassed s anything ever seen in New York. ? The militarv parade Saturday was a j grand event. There were over twenty s housand soldiers in line, and they preented a most handsome appearance as he marched pass the reviewing stand nd saluted the hero of Manila. , This ended the festivities, and the isitors began at once to leave the city or Home. The South Carolina coningent left Sunday morning and are nee more at home telling friends of heir experience. FLOODS IS" INDIA, Inch Property Destroyed and Hundreds of Lives Lost.
