Admiral Dewey and his Kiillunt lars re
ceived the glorious tliundormiH wel
come of the steel walled men-of-war as
the ship glided up to her position at the
head of the column there to remain
until the nieut naval pageant starts to
morrow Never before perhaps did n
triumphant warrior returning from a
victorious campaign receive a more
thunderous welcome Though thous
ands upon thousands witnessed it from
shore and the main anchorage at
Tompkinhville where the lleet lay fairly
Mvarmed with tugs yachts ami steam
ers and every sort of harbor craft till
jet black with wild cheering exultant
people and tho towering white walls of
the city beyond were brave with a mil
lion welcoming lags yesterdays greet
ing to Dewey was the greeting of his
comrades of the navy and it was emi
nently lit ting that his comrades in arms
should have tho lirst chanco at him
whom tho millions are waiting
to honor Tho people will begin I
to get at him on Friday and j
Saturday To outward appearance the I
welcome he received irom the fleet was
strictly professional One can find tho
salutes the trumpet nourishes tho
drum rallies tho parading of the ma
rine guard and all of the ceremonies
dono in his honor yesterday described
in the naval regulations as duo to one
of his rank But that only impressed
tho mind the more because oven tho
naval regulations inelastic as they
were could not restrain tho pent up en
thusiasm when it broke forth as it did
occasionally in rounds of cheers any
more than it could the boll cords of tho
skippers and tho joy shown by the peo
ple aboard the excursion boats Cheer
ing is not permitted by tho naval regu
lations aboard men-of-war but no ro
proof followed yesterdays breaches of
discipline
Arrival of tlm Clilrngo
It was a perfect day though drifting
clouds driven by a strong land breeze
obscured the sun during tho morning
uud the waves of the lower bay were
capped with white foam In tho after
noon tho flying clouds disappeared tho
breeze died away and the sun bathed
the sea in brilliance Very early in tho
morning befoie Dewey left his anchor
age inside Sandy Hook Rear Admiral
Howison commander of the South At
lantic squadron aboard the Chicago
which arrived outside Tuesday night
travel stained and weather beaten after
her journey of aiOOOniilesaround South
Africa foamed in past tho Hook mix
iustojoin the North Atlantic squad
ron in receiving Admiral Dewey
Doweys flagship was no sooner recog
nized than preparations were made to
give the loudest welcome tho ship could
give The guns were manned the ma
rine guards were paraded and 17 guns
were loosened in honor of Dewey
Willi Clipurrt from the Crow
The Chicagos jackies cheered wildly
as she steamed past Tho Olyinpia re
sponded with 111 guns and the two ad
mirals coining together from tho two
ends of the earth waved a welcome to
each other Tho Chicago continued to
the upper bay and in turn was saluted
by tho New York Only tho flagship of
a squadron salutes on the appearanco of
a rear admiral
The long lines of crazy quilting tho
universal language of tho sea flattered
irom tho signal halyards of tho Now
York Rear Admiral Sampsons flag
ship and tho Chicago and after a good
deal of wigwagging from tho bridges of
both ships thu Chicago dropped her
anchor at tho foot of the column close
under tho lee of Stateu Island Hear
Admiral Sampsons blue flag came
down as soon as tho Chicago found her
berth Rear Admiral Howison is his
MMiior and to tho main truck was
hauled up tho two starred rod ponntint
which denoted that ho was outranked
It was noted that tho Chicago did
not go to the head of tho column tho
place to which she was entitled becauso
tho place was reserved for tho Olympia
and to have gone there would have
forced Deweys flagship to tho end of
tho ship canal
Rear Admiral Sampsons gig was
manned and he went to pay his respects
to Rear Admiral Howison Ho was
followed by the other rhips
Meanwhile the beautiful white yacht
Dolphin wjth Assistant Secretary of
tho Navy Allen aboard had hurried
down to tho Olympiii The Dolphin
flow a whito flag containing four stars
with a fouled anchor in tho field the
flag of tho assistant secretary ami ilr
Allen personally was conveying to Ad
iniral Dewey the greetings and compli
ments of President McKiuloy Ho
went aboard in a launch and was re
ceived at the gangway by the admiral
himself
Oljinplu SuIN li tho Hay
An officer from Fiat Hancock shortly
nfterward came aboard to convey tho
formal welcome of the army ami then
few minutes after U oclock Just a
the tide turned flood the Olyntpiv
weighed anchor and began her journey
up the bay The tugs and harbor craft
Which had been hovering about since
lavlight tooting and shrieking their
tilutatuins at every opportunity fell
iin lurwake and puffed proudly up
eh id her livery vessel she passed
gave her a vaporous salute and as the
shipping increased the noisy demon
strations bieaine almost continuous
The figure of the hero of the day was
in full relief against the sky as he stood
on the bridge chatting with Assistant
Secretary Allen anil a group of olllcers
lie occasionally turned and smiled and
bowed to the noisy escort Tho Olyin
pia was very stately as she came on
her white hull with high free board
seemed frail but the ugly looking gnus
frowning front spnusou and turret
showed where laid tho power that had
destroyed Spiins sea power on tho
other side of tho world
SHAW ATTOPEKA

TorrKA Sept 28 Commander-in-Chief
Albert D Shaw of tho J A R
spoke yesterday at tho state encamp
ment and was accorded a rousing recep
tion
During the day Colonel Shaw denied
published stories that he desired to head
the Dewey parade These stories are
infamously false ho said I never
thought of such a thing I wanted an
escort of a 000 old soldiers to be a guard
of honor to tho admiral and to follow
him in the parade
Later Colonel Shaw issued a state
ment to the public submitting facts
in justification of requests made to
Major General Roe that tho veterans
be allowed to have the right of lino in
the Dewey parade Colonel Shaw
cites as precedents the places accorded
the veterans at the Chicago jubilee and
at tho reception of tho Tenth regiment
Pennsylvania volunteers at Pittsburg
and adds In tho light of these com
paratively recent parades the latter in
honor olVur gallant soldiers who served
in the Philippines and who possibly
heard some of Admiral Doweys guns
1 could not but feel that the Grand
Army comrades of NeV York repre
sentative of the greatest state in tho
Union which sent nioro men than any
other state to preserve the nation from
ruin were as richly entitled to head the
line of the Dowoy parade as wero tho
comrades of Pennsylvania to lead a sim
ilar civic pageant in honor of cur Spanish-American
war heroes
It gives me great pleasure to extend
to Governor Roosevelt as tho commander-in-chief
of 1150000 G A R veter
ans my warm congratulations on the
just and patriotic stand ho has taken in
behalf of the ageing veterans of tho na
tion in using his influence to have their
just request granted that they lead tho
parade in the city of New York in honor
of tho great Admiral Dewey thus as
suring to our newest veterans that
when they grow old in their turn they
shall not be the tail of any public pro
cession

correspondent of tho Morning Post says
Twenty trucks tilled with armed
burghers and horses left Johannesburg
for the border yesterday by way of
Elaiidsfontciu Tho plan of campaign
drawn up at Pretoria proposes to em
ploy a command of 2000 men to defeat
the slender force in Rhodesia and to
hand the territory over to the native-
It is hoped that a force of 10000 Boers
will bo sufllcient to rush the Natal bor
der capture the forts and prevent the
landing of reinforcements It is as
serted that before a year is past Russia
will interfere by creating a diversion in
some portion of the British domains
A run is commencing on tho banks in
the Transvaal and Orange Free State
The Cape Town correspondent of tho
Daily Mail says Tho Boers I believe
will construe tho occupation of Laing

London Sept 28 A few days now
should witness a definite development
in the Transvaal The volksraad was
sitting in secret session last evening and
the burghers doubtless had the result of
tho deliberations of tho Orange Free
State volksraad to guide them in mak
ing a decision as to the reply to Mr
Chamberlains latest dispatch which
will probably be handed to the British
diplomatic agent at Pretoria Mr
Greene today and be discussed by the
British cabinet tomorrow
The secretary of state for war the
Marquis of Lansdowne was busy until
a late hour last evening at the war
oflico A telegram from Naples shows
that the British government is buying
mules then and in the United States
It is said that 10000 are purchased but
it will take a month to get thein to
Africa and a similar time to get an
army corps to the front it is evident
that big operations will be impossible
until toward the end of October It is
believed tho British note will demand
tho absolute fulfillment of the conven
tions of 1881 and 1884 which have been
violated in numerous points but will
nccept a live years franchise

American horses will drag English am

clash at arms Orders caiuo from Lon
don by cable yesterday to a firm of horse
doalers at tho Union Stock yards to buy
up all tho 1200 pound gunners the
western market offered and make ar
rangements for immediate shipment
Stress was laid upon the fact that the
animals wero wanted for the impending
South African campaign and the com
mission was marked rush and im
perative
Tho horso market at the yards was
stirred by the news Telegraphic or
ders wero flashed to breeders in Illinois
Missouri Iowa and Nebraska for reser
vations of choice stock with tho ex
pectation that tho first consignment will
leavo Chicago for England the latter
part of tho week
Tho specifications that must lo ad
hered to in tho selection of the artillery
horses dealeiH say will mako the filling
of such a wholesale order somewhat
difficult of accomplishment at this
time It is demanded that the animals
bo full mutlo and weigh not less than
1200 iKMinds Tho prioes which tho
British government sot as a limit rango
from 1 10 to 125 u head
One firm declared that tho extra high

cornering of choice stock if a consign
