New York, Sept. 27. Through frolick ing whltecnps tho Olympia moved mujestlenllv up the lower bay today and passed through the picturesque strait. guarded by Forts Wadsworth and Hamilton, amid the booming of great guns. Admiral Dewey and his gallant tars received the gloilou", thunderous welcome of the steel-walled men-of-war as their stately ship glided up to her position at the head of the ei-Himn, there to remain until tho great nival pageant starts on imiiuij. .i.-- perhaps, did a tilumphant warrior re turning from a victorious campaign re ceive n more impressive welcome. Al though thousands upon thousands wit iv ssi d it from shore, balcony, window or housetop, and the man-of-war an i h irage at Tompkinsville, where the lleot lay, a city swarmed with tugs, a.-hts and steamers and every sort of ! rU jr craft all black with wild, cheer mg. exultant people and the lowering white walls of the city beyond were 'raw with ii million welcoming Hags, Mduy's greeting to Dewey was the greeting of his comrades rf the navy. And It was eminently lining that his eomrndes-in-nrms should have the first t nance at him whom the millions are waiting to honor. Tho people will be gin to got at htm on Friday and Satur day Even naval regulations, rigorous and inelastic as they are, could not restrain the pent-up enthusiasm when It broko forth, as It did oecasslonully, in rounds cif cheers, any more than it could the b.-ll cords of tho skippers and the Joy of the people aboard the excursion boats. Cheering Is not permitted by the naval regulations aboard men-of-war, but no reproof followed today's breaches of discipline. It was a per fect day, though dry clouds, driven by .1 strong land breeze, obscured the sun during the morning and the waves of tin lower bay were capped with white foam. In the afternoon the clouds dls eppeaied, tho breeze died away and the sun bathed the sea in brilliance. A Loud Welcome. Wry early In the morning, before Dewey left his anchorage In Sandy Hook. Hear Admiral Howison. com mander of the South Atlantic squad ron, aboatd his llagshlp, the Chicago, w hkh arrived outside last night, travel Hiulned and weather-beaten after her buii-ney of 21.000 miles around South Afilc.i, foamed in past the Hook, ex pecting to Join the North Atlantic squadron in receiving Dewey upon hla .irrlval. As Howison rounded the Spit, there right under his eyes lay tho olympia. Dewey's llagshlp was no sooner recounlzed than preparations were made to give her the loudest and most hearty welcome a ship could give. The sides were manned, the marlnu guard were paraded and seventeen roaring guns were loosed In honor of Dewey. The Chicago's Juekles cheered w lldly as she stenmed past. The Olym pia responded with thirteen guns, and the two admirals, come together from the two ends of the earth, waved a welcomo to each other from the bridges of their respective vessels. Hear Admiral Sampson's blue (Ian came down as soon as the Chicago found her berth In the upper bay. Hear dmlrnl Howison Is his senior. Hoai Admiral Sampson went aboard tin- Chi ago and paid his olllclal respects to his senior. The captains of the other ships, tho Indiana. -Massachusetts.' Hrooklyn. Texas and Lancaster, fol lowed suit. Meantime, tho beautiful white yacht Dolphin, with Assistant Secretary of the Navy Allen aboard, had hurried down to the Olymplu. Mr. Alien personally was conveying to Ad miral Dewey the greetings and com pliments of Proildent McKInley. When the assistant secretary of tho mivy goes aboard a warship the regit. latloitH prescribe that his (lag be holste 1 to the main top. Up went the tlag, but at soon as tho greetings had been ex changed, at Mr. aiii loquest It wan hauled down and .Mr. Allen remained aboard as the private guest of the ad miral. It was the doslro of tho navy department not to dolruct In any way from the honors to be accorded Dewey. An offlcer from Fort Hancock shortly afi-rwatd came aboard to convey tho formal welcome of tho army and then a few minutes nfter nine lust as th. tide turned for the Hood, the Olympia weighed anchor and began her journey up the bay. The tugs and harbor craft which hall been hovering about since daylight, tooting and shrieking their salutations at every opportunity, fell Into her wake and puffed proudly up behind her. Kvery vessel she passed gave her a vigorous salute, and as the chipping increased the noisy demon stration became almost continuous. The tlgure of the hero of the dny was In full relief against the sky as ho stood upon the bridge chatting with Assistant Sec retary Allen ami the group of officeis. He occasionally turned and smlled.and bowed to tho noisy welcome. The grassy heights of both Wads- worth and Hamilton were thronged worth and Hamilton were throngol with spectators as she approached the Narrows. Suddenly a tongue of red flame leaped fiom the granite side of Fort Wadsworth and like the recoil came a streak of fire from the granite wall on the cpposlte side. Then "alto-nate-lv from each side came the deafening roar of an admiral's salute of seven teen guns. Slowly and majestically the Olympia passed the smoke-wreathed forts, answering the salute gun for gun until she became so enveloped In her own smoke that it seemed she might have broken her steam chest. Then she pushed through the smoke curtain and stood revealed before the admir ing gaze of the whole Atlantic squad ron, waiting at anchor off Tompkins ville to receive her. Kvery bit of brass nnd gilt on every ship of the receiving column had been burnished, every spot on the white hulls painted over, and every marine and sailor looked his best. Kvery olllcer had donned his most showy uniform. From the New York barked the sig nal gun, a slx-pounder In the star board bow, and immediately every ship In the squadron breathed forth flame and smoke. lewder nnd louder thun dered the guns as the Olympia came on. She replied with the thirteen guns to which Hear Admiral Howlson's rank entitles him. "Home, Sweet Home." As the Olympia came abreast of tho Chicago the guard presented arms, the drums gave four rullles, the trumpets four nourishes and the band played "Home. Sweet Home." with swell ing cadenza upon the minor bars. The officers at the waist raised their gold-bound beaveis, and the snllots cheered. Ship after ship took Its turn In doing honor to the admiral as the Olympia swept grandly up the line of floating fortresses and the Hood of sentiment welled up within their hearts. Farther than ears could hear, the steam Jets on the crnft lying at the battery and up the North and Fast livers could be seen as they roared their welcome. It --- DEWEY'S VICTORY. THK FL13KTS.

The American loss was elffht men Hllxlitly wounded and $l.v damiiKo donn to tho ships, wns such ii soul-maddening concert of steam whistles as American steamboat mun are famous for. In a few moments the sharp rattle ot the anchor chain was heard, as the Olympiads anchor catted In Its bed In tho water. Then came tho admirals nnd captains from all tho ships, trooping In their swift water carriages to pay their respects to the nation's hero. First, Hear Ad miral Howison with his aides, splendid In gold braids, arrived. As they came aboard they were given tho honors due their rank. Admiral Dewey was still In fatigue uniform when ho received his old classmate at the gangway. There was a cordial smile nnd a hearty handshake, with a "How are you," Howison," that thrilled the spectators. The olllclal visit to the the Olympia lasted over an hour. Meantime scores of row boats, tugs, launches and yachts formed about her, many with wives, sweethearts or friends of those aboard. Almost the first to make the gangway was tho Narkeeta, with Admiral Dewey's relatives. The party wa.i given a warm greeting and taken to the cabin. One of the officers wns to overjoyed at the sight of his wife he had not seen for twenty-three months that ho rushed down the gangway and kissed her In the presence ot lO.OM) peo ple.
