Typhoid Fever Among the Crew.
jj§ NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Admiral
BCtoorge Dewey arrived off Sandy Hook
at dawn and the Olympia Is now an
r chored in American waters in the light
of Sandy Hook.
The first shout of welcome was from
the pilots and crew of pilot boat No. 7,
fifteen miles south of the Hook light
ship. It happened to be Pilot John
Peterson’s turn, and at 5:50 a. m. he
was put aboard the Olympia and
brought it around the Hook and into
the lower bay.
The marine observers along the
coast had sighted the Olympia in the
first light of the morning. The shore
batteries of Fort Hancock, manned by
gunners called from breakfast, let loose
seventeen guns. The llagshlp replied
with twenty-one and let go its anchor
not far from where the cup challenger
Shamrock is moored.
The ulrnlral was In his own country
again after twenty-three months’ ab
sence. He had returned “great with
the arduous greatness of things done,”
and his excellency seemed to realize it.
The pilot brought aboard the Sunday
papers and a reporter of the Associated
Press was received by the admiral in a
cabin littered with the illustrated
Dewey editions, which, together made
hundreds of pages in black and white
and in colors, all concerning the great
admiral and the preparations made to
receive him.
"It almost saddens me,” he said, "to
see what my people are doing for me.
The pride and gratification is immense
and I cannot express the appreciation
I feel. I did not know. I did not really
perceive until this moment the splen
did welcome that my countrymen are
giving me. The governors of many
states are coming to see me and troops
from Florida. Georgia and other far
away states are on tneir way to take
part in receiving me.”
The admiral stroked the head of a
tawny-haired dog, the “Chow" dog of a
Chinese breed that appears in the il
lustrated Interviews of the admiral.
“Bob here,” he said, "Is not well. He
yearns to be 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 board ship for twenty-three
mentis.”

ADMIRAL DLWEY KONORIP.
Olympia St«»iimn I'p the Hay Amid
Plaudit* of Hie People.
NEW YORK, Sep:. IS.—Through
.rolicking whitecaps the Olympia
moved majestically up the lower hay
today and passed through the pictur
esque strait guarded by Forts Wads
worth and Hamilton, amid the boom
ing of great guns, and there inside
the city gates Admiral Dewey and Ms
gallant tars received the glorious,
thunderous welcome of the steel
walled men-of-war, as the ship glided
up to its position at the head of the
column, there to remain until the
great naval pageant starts on Friday.
Never before perhaps, did a trium
phant warrior returning from a vic
torious campaign receive a more thun
derous welcome. Though thousands
upon thousands witnessed it from
shore, and the anchorage at Tomklns
vtlle, where the fleet lay, fairly
swarmed with luge, yachts and steam
ers and every sort of harbor craft,
all Jet black with wild cheering, ex
ulting people tnd the towering white
walls of the city beyond were brave
with a million of welcoming llags, to
day's greeting to Dewey was the greet
ing of his comrades of the navy, and
it was eminently fitting that his com
rades in arms should have the first
chance at him whom the millions are
waiting to honor.
Very early in the morning, before
Dewey left his anchorage inside Sandy
Hook, Rear Admiral Howison, com
mander of the South Atlantic squad
ron, aboard the Chicago, which ar
rived outside last night, travel-stained
and weather-beaten, after its Journey
of 21,000 miles around South Africa
foamed in past the Hook anxious to
join the North Atlantic squadron m
receiving Admiral Dewey.
Dewey's flagship was no sooner rec
ognized than preparations were made
to give the loudest welcome the ship
could give. The guns were manned,
the marine guards were paraded and
seventeen guns were loosened In honor
of Dewey.

of General Mamamilllo, the Spanish
officer who is settling Spain's military
affairs in the Philippine islands, to
send u vessel under the Spanish flag

insurgent ports, as stipulated by the
Filipinos, on the ground that the ports
are closed, that such a step, therefore,
would he unlawful, and because they
declined to accept the Filipinos' dec
laration.
The authorities are ready to send
an American vessel. The Spanish
committee, herefore, will return to the
insurgent lines and endeavor to effect
an arrangement for the delivery of
the prisoners on board an American

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 2.—There
seems to be a very general misunder
standing regarding the correct inter
pretation of the election law in respect
to the filing of certificates of nomina
tion and statements of expense. Can
didates have until twenty-live days be
fore election to file certificates of nom
ination. but their expense statements
must be on file within ten days after
the convention. According to the gen
eral understanding of the law it is not
necessary for judicial candidates to file
certificates with the secretary of state.
The law in this respect provides that
all persons nominated for any judicial
or state office by a convention repre
senting a district larger than a county
shall file certificates with the secretary
of state, except as otherwise provided.
Another section provides that Judicial
candidates must file certificates with
the county clerks and that they may
file them with the secretary of state
Ho far only the Fourth district Judicial
candidates have flleu certificates.

LINCOLN. Neb., Sept. 30.—The dis
trict clerk, on application from Attor
ney General Smyth, handed the sheriff
an execution on the Judgment In the
Hartley bond case for him to serve
upon the Lancaster county bondsmen.
The amount of the execution is $646,
000, and this ts to be served upon E. E.
Brown, N. S. Harwood and John H.
Ames. Mrs. Fitzgerald was released
from liability in the trial court anl
her name is not included. Similar
executions are to be served in each
county where the bondsmen live or
where property of bondsmen is situ
ated. An execution is said to have
been served in Douglas county some
time ago, but no reports have been
received to indicate that property has
been actually levied upon. Attorney
General Smyth recently said in an In
terview thut lie favored a compromise
between the legislature and the bonds
men in case the Judgment Is sustained.
This has given rise to the belief that
no property of the bondsmen will be
taken until the supreme court passes
on the case filed yesterday by the
bondsmen. Several of the bondsraet
are reported to be execution proof.
