Manila Hero Arrives at New York
Two Days Ahead of Time.
OLYMPIA ANCHORS INSIDE SANDY HOOK,
Flagship Is Greeted By Admiral’s Salute and Demonstrations of
Welcome By fnnum^ahle Small Craft-Dewey

i New York special says: Much to
the surprise of every one in the city
the Olympia, with Admiral Dewey on
board, arrived off the Sandy Hook
lightship at 5:55 Tuesday morning.
There was a heavy mist on the sea,
end at first the marine observers were
inclined to think the vessel sighted
might he Hear Admiral Howison’s
flagship, the Chicago, hardly believ¬
ing Dewey would arrive two days
ahead of time.
The doubt wao ten?) cleared away,
however, and as passing x-essels rec-
ognized the flagship from Manila bay
there was a continuous blowing of
whistles in salute.
The first shout of welcome was
from the pilots and crew of pilot boat
No. 7, fifteen miles south of the Hook
lightship. It happened to be Pilot
John Peterson’s turn, and at 5:30 a.
in. he was put aboard the Olympia and
brought her around the Hook and into
the lower bay. The marine observers
along the const had sighted the Olym¬
pia in the first light of morn.
Tho shore batteries of Fort Hancock
let loose seventeen guns. The
ship replied with tweuty-one, and
go her anchors not far from where the
cup challenger Shamrock is moored.
The admiral was in his country
again, after twenty-three months’ nb-
? ence. He had returned “great with
the arduous greatness of things done”
and he scarcely seemed to realize it.
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 Dewev editions, which to-
getam made hundreds of pages in
biack and white and m colors, all
concerning tbo great admiral and the

a special meeting of the committee.
Mayor Van Wyck hurried to his of¬
fice, where he found the following tel¬
egram :
“Olympia arrived this morning. Will go
to Tompkinsvilie tomorrow.
(Signed) Geokge Dewey.”
The mayor advised the calling to¬
gether of all the city’s committees
and telegrams were sent out calling on
the members of the plan and scope
committee and the various sub-com¬
mittees to meet as quickly as possible
at the city hall.
Allndincr to his arrival two days
ahead of the time he was expecten,
Admiral Dewey said:
“I am sorry that I am ahead of the
schedule. The Olympia has been
steaming at the rate of ten knots au
hour since we left Gibraltar. Several
days ago we knew that we would arrive
before Thursday unless we moderated
our speed or went somewhere out of
our course. Captain Lamberton,
Lieutenant Brumby and I held a con-
sulfation.
“The propriety of running in to
Hampton Iioads or some other port in
the south was spoken of, but we con-
cluded that we ought not to touch
laud first anywhere except at New
York. It was suggested that we cruise
some distance outside New York bar-
until Thursday, but we knew that
if we did that we would be discovered
and reported. The weather looked a
little squally and it seemed better to
be inside the Hook than outside. But
the consideration that really decided
us to come into port was to give Cap-
tain Lamberton a chance to clean up
the ship beforo our voyage up the
harbor. Captain Lamberton and I
are very proud of the Olympia and we
wanted enough time at cur anchorage
to rub her down and make her look
spick and span. ,,
Ihe anchors were hard y down he-
fore details of the crew were washing
the ship’s white sides and touching up
the stains with paint.
The admiral’s first business was to
