COMMITTEE AGITATED.
Thrown Into a Tever by Dewey's
Early Arrival.
New Vot I;, Sept. 2. The unexpected
arrival of tho ciulser Oiymplu, with
Admlial OeoiRc Dewey, for a time com
pletely upset the elaborate plans of tho
reception committee. Hefor. piocoed

Artci a hasty meeting In the city hall,

ton, this afternoon visited the warship
and tnlked over the plans with the ad
mlrnl. When the programme was ex
plained to him, Admlial Dewe said II
was veiy satisfactory and that he
would temalii nboatd the Olympia until
Ft iday morning and then would receive
the otllclal visit of Mayor Van "ck.
He said:
"As I wioti to General Huttei field. I
am entirely In the hands of the com

makes will be ngieeable to mc Kleveti
'(lo(k Fildav I'll be tbeie, but 1 want

The admlial ameetl to all of the pro

that be should spend Friday night at

"I will stay on boaid the ship that

"How about the crew of this ship?"
'ntiulied Admlial Dewe "Ilo.v will
they get ashoie" We have got S"iO
men heie and they all want to get over
fiom where we nre am hired"" Mr
McAdoo explained that the city would
supplj boats for the tiansfer. "That's
all light." said the admiral with a
smile "Thitt will be very satlsfac
tot The men can go ashoie In the
moinlng I've arrived heie a few
davs in advance of time." be continued,
"but I thought It would be better to

behind," soothlnRly said the admlial
to the committeemen "You know
the I state I come from. AVe have tj
sctatch gravel In Vermont I thought
It would be better to spend two or three
days In sight heie. If we were one
day behind It might have upset r nue

DEWEY IS A SAILOR.

Does Not Believe Filipinos Capable
of Self Government An Alleged
Opinion of Otis.

"I thought this thing In the Philip

as It should have been. 1 can't Imaag
Ino how they have stood out so long.

Is the gieat tiouble. It Is enough for
a man to do one thing, to be one thinr.
