New York, Aug. 20. —New York and the nation have’ fitly today signalized the apprecia tion of the republic of her victo rious fleet. An imposing naval pageaht of warships has been received in the harbor of the largest city of the country with acclamations of delight and ad miration, ann the ovation from shore and from the great flotillas of all sorts of craft on the water has significantly given to the returning heroes some idea of the esteem and admiration in which they are regarded by the people. The fleet of Admiral Sampson was reported off the Highlands early and soon the bay began to liven up with gaily decked ves sels of all kinds from an ocean liner to small rowing craft The navy yard tug Nina, which put out to sea yesterday afternoon to intercept the fleet, returned, passing the narrows at 8:10 o’clock. The fleet approached the narrows in the following or der, about a cable’s length apart: New York, armored cruiser, flagship of Admiral Sampson commanding the north Atlantic squadron, Capt. F. E. Chad wick; lowa, battleship, Captain Evans; Indiana, battleship, Capt. H. C. Taylor; Brooklyn, armored cruiser, flagship of Rear Admiral Schley, Capt. F. A. Cook ; Massachusetts, bat Jeship Capt. F. S. Higginson ; Oregon, battleship, Capt. A. S. Barker. The New York was flying Rear Admiral Sampson’s blue flag with two white stars ; her decks were crowded with her white clad clew, who lined up silently observing the animated scene. At 9:24 Fort Hamilon fired the opening gun of salute, Fort Wadsworth fallowing. The lowa returned the salute. The shores of Staten Island were crowded with people cheer ing and waving flags, bunting was flying from every flagstaff, innumerable craft crowded with eager passengers were cheering and waving frantically. The men on board all the ves sels crowded the decks, all look ing neat, dressed in white duck or blue clothing. Signals were made frequently from the flag ship to the follo.wing squadron. The steam yacht Eleanor, covered with flags from the tip of her jib boom over the three masts to the taffrail, and from each mast head on both sides to the rails, led the fleet. The Brooklyn in passing did not display the flag of Rear Ad miral Schley. Her center funnel was seen to have been shot through the starboard sides. The Brooklyn was flying her battle ensign, which looked stained and frayed, as if they had seen plenty of service. As the svuad ron approached Tompkinsville the New York saluted the bat tleship Texas, which lay at an chor flying the flag of Commo dore Philip. The salute was returned by the Texas. The fleet slowly assembled off Tompkinsville and then pro jeeded up toward the North •iver in the same order, with .he Texas in the rear, accompan ed by an immense crowd of ..[iTOT craft, leaving the St. Paul T-18 VOLCANO Erilpts A f ter Centuries of .

Sampson and Schley to Report in Washington. Washington, Aog 20.—Admi rals Sampson and Schley have been ordered to report at Wash ington, and it is expected they will reach here the early part of next week, probably Monday. As they ha v e been appointed to serve respectively on the Cu ban and Porto Rican commis sions, their visits here will af ford an opportunitv to meet their associates on these com missions and to discuss with the authorities the general policy to be maintained by this govern ment on the Spanish evacuation of the West Indies. Naval officials were consider bly relieved today when early reports reached them that Ad miral Sampson’s fleet had beeu sighted off the Highlands at 5: 40 a . m. They hid begin to fear the elaborate preparations made in New York city for the reception of the fleet might miscarry by reason of some delay in arriving. The time of arrival is looked upon as a trib ute to the accivacy with whic our naval comm mders can cal culate on the length of time for a long cruise. The fleet left Santiago at 10 a. ra., last Sunday, and at that time Admiral Sampson notified the department that he would reach New York early Saturday morning. In .his calculation he was obliged to reckon on the speed of the slowest ship in his flest as the one governing the movements of the entire fleet. The arrival, exactly as calcu lated, is said to ba in hue with the performance of the monitor Monterey, which made the six weeks trip across the Pacific to the Philippines, arriving within twelve hours of the time on which ths arrival had been cal culated- After the naval review today the battleships and cruisers will go to the Brooklyn navy yard and there be docked and repair ed.
