It wns suggested to the admiral that the Democratic slate hnd been settled with Admiral Dewey for the presidency and Gen. Wheeler for the vice presi dency. "I am not a politician. I am a sailor, my training has been all thnt way. I am at home on board my ship. I know my business, or nt least should know It, und I do not want to mix up In the af fairs of government. I am perfectly satisfied to live nnd die a simple sailor, who tried to do his duty. I am not a politician. I cannot make a speech even. I wish I could, but I have to be content with my lot." Some one snld Just then to the ad miral that his son was reported to have made a statement to the effect that his father was a dyed-ln-the-wool Republican. The admiral laughed outright, and turning around, pointed to a piece of wood lying on the deck some yard' away, at the same time saying: "My son knows as much about what my politics ore as that piece of stock." The ndmlrnl would not say a word about the alleged Interference of the German Admiral Dlederlch at Manila. I'liexpoctedly, 00 hours ahead of time, Admiral Dewey stole Into New York bay nt 7 o'clock Inst Tuesday morning. New York appreciated how Admiral Montojo must have felt on thnt Mny morning when In a simi lar fashion the admiral stole Into Man ila Bay. The reception committee had nskrd the ndmlrnl to reach New York by September 28. He replied that he would. A reporter of the Associated Press was received by the admiral In a cabin littered by the Illustrated Dewey edi tions, which together made hundreds of pages in black and white and In colors, all concerning the great ad miral and the preparations made to receive him. "It almost saddens me," he said, "to see what my people are doing for me. Tho pride and gratification .Is Im mense and I can not express the ap preciation I feel. I did not know, I did not really perceive until this morn ing the splendid welcome that my countrymen are giving me. The gov ernors of many states are coming tp see me, and troops from Florida and Georgia and other far-away states nre on their way to take part In re ceiving me." The admiral stroked the head of a towney-halred dog, the Chow dog of a Chinese breed that appears In the Il lustrated Interviews with the admiral. "Hob here," he said, "Is not well. He yearns to he ashore. He Is sick to get a little grass and to scamper around. I feel a good deal that way myself. I am mighty glad to get home. It Is not good for a man any more than a dog to live on shipboard for 23 months." The admiral said that he felt tired, but he did not look so. His complex Ion Is a clear bronze, his hazel eyes bright, his bearing brisk and rather Jaunty. Home deep Unfa are under his eyes and around his mouth, but his voice Is singularly clear and pleasant. The admiral's whole presence Is that ot a man In his fullest powers. His manner Is gentle and kind, but he is exceedingly wary and did not permit himself to wander oft Into politics or to exercise those positive views he holds about the Philippines and Amer ican affairs there. Alluding to his arrival two days ahead of the time he was expected, ad miral Dewey said: "I am sorry that I sm ahead of the schedule. The Olymp ia has been steaming at the uniform rate of 10 knots an 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. Capt. Lamberton. Lieut. Brumby and I held a consultation. The propriety ot 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 if we did that we would be discovered and reported. "The weather looked a little squally and It seemed to be better to be inside the hook than outside. But the con sideration that really decided us to come Into port was to give Captain Lamberton a chance to clean up the ship befoie our voyage up the harbor. Captain Lamberton and I are very proud of the Olympla. and we wanted time at our anchorage to rub her down and make her look spick and --pan." "I can not stand for uny Interview giving my opinions on political sub jects. pd the Philippines. I disown any views 'ascribed to me on those sub jects," said the. admiral.
