The culmination of Admiral Uowey's triumphal homo-icomlng was reached today In the shadow of the dome of the national capltol. Here he received from the hands of the president the magnifi cent Jeweled sword voted him by congress Jn commemoration ot the victory of Manila bay. This was the official reason for the ceremony. But moro official sanction could never have thrown Into , the demonstration the fervor of enthusiasm that was meted out to the admiral as ho appeared before the i -vast audience , composed not only ot all the J highest officials In the land , but ot spectators * T drawn from every quarter of the United 6tatos. The battle of Manila bay was not forgot ten , but it might bo said to have been rele gated almost to second place In the desire to do honor to the man who had proved iilmselt BS great after victory as before It nnd who had shown In the- long aua trying - " 7/nthB that followed his naval triumph the /qualities of a statesman nnd a wise admin istrator as well us a fighting leader ot the victorious fleet And enhancing these qual ities was .that . of manly modesty , displayed In the quiet dignity with which ho met the occasion. This trait of Dewey'a character was evi denced from the moment ho reached the Bland sldo by side with the president. Ho paused at .thl . point for a moment unwill ing , apparently , to take the place that had been prepared for him on the right ot the platform lest he should appear to usurp the i place duo to the chief magistrate. President McKlnlc'y grasped the situation in an In- etant and taking his great sea captain by the arm placed him by gentle force In that chair that had been intended for him. Later In the day , as the carriages bearing the official party drove away from the capl tel between walls of cheering people , the piosldcnt again displayed his tact by re maining covered and Ignoring the demon- etratloa himself , leaving the acknowledg ment * o the admiral alone. TrylnR nit Well an Triumphal. For Dfiwey It was n. trying ns well us a triumphal day. It has been given to Ibvr officers In the naval history ot the country to sit before a crowd of thousands while the chief of the naval establishment dilated upon Iholr exploits and then to stand before the eamo crowd to receive at tne hands of the president a sword prepared for him at the behest of the representatives of the whole people. The strain upon Admiral Dewey reached almost to the breaking point. None but those nearest to him could see ihow he labored to repress his feellngs _ during the uddrcea of Secretary Long , but when he arose to receive the sword from the hands Dt the president no ono could mistake the ( lash of the white gloved hand as it rose to dash away the tears before the admiral came to the rigid attitude of attention before - fore his chief. When it became Dewoy's turn to reply bis voice failed him and ho made the ef fort twice before his lips would respond. When bo did succeed his tones were clear nnd steady , but so low that only these ncar- cet him could hear. There was an exquisite bit of comedy fol lowing the trying formalities , though It es caped all but these directly on the stand. As the admiral closed and took his seat ho turned to the president and in a tone of quizzical appeal Inquired : "Now , really , don't you think I did pretty well for an amateur ? " Once during the ceremonies Secretary Long embraced an opportunity to ease the trying situation for the chief actor in the day's events. When the secretary began bis addrrss the sun was shining directly in Admiral Dowey's eyes and , without his hat , bo was at Us mercy. The secretary quietly inserted In his address a low aside"Ad miral , turn your chair a little , wo don'l want to have you blind. " Sclilcy Given nil Ovation. One of the most remarkable features o ; tbo eventful day was the ovation to Rear Admiral Schley on the return of the part ) from the capltol to the Whlto house. His carriage was several numbers behind tha' ' of the president and Admiral Dewey am received an ovation that could scarcely be ranked below that accorded to the admlra lilmeelf. The tumult grow as tbo carriage proceeded down the avenue and the crowc purged around it till the horses were brough to a foot pace. Finally a ccinpany of High echool cadets came to the rescue and formei about tbo carriage In a hollow square. Thu protected and flanked by a force of police the carriage reached the White IIOUFO with a long cap between It and the next otllcla KUesta. . Out of the store of his experience the presIdent Idont was able to give Admiral Dewey ono valuable suggestion before leaving the cap Itol. Tbo venerable Cardinal Gibbous wa presented and , after un exchange of greet Ings , the president asked the admiral If h felt equal to a general ordeal of baud-Bhak lug. Tbo hero of Manila swerved from Ih shock , explaining that his right arm wa partially paralyzed from his experience In New York. "Let me suggest to you , " said the presl dent , "hereafter you shake the other man * band , don't let him ehako youra. You aav yourself by not letting them get the gras on you.

The waiting crowd uncov ered and the president and the admiral iromptly did the same as they paasod rap- dly Into the lobby of the senate. Dewey wag followed by his war captains and the ull cabinet acted as an escort. The presl- cnt with his cabinet was shown Into the iresldant's room , while Admiral Dewey with ils captains occupied the room of the vice ( resident. There was a wait of half an hour , hen the party took up their march to the stand in the same order as they had enterea he capltol. The band struck Into the soul- moving strains of "Hall to the Chief" as the > rocesslon moved slowly down the 'steps to ho stand. The crowd cheered long as the party took heir seats , Admiral Dewey rising with bare lead to respond to the ovation. A colored ervant In livery threw a naval cloak over ho admiral's shoulders as he took his seat. Prayer was offered by Rev. Bristol , Presl- ent McKlnley's pastor. Ross Perry then made the Introductory address , which was ustlly cheered. Miin for the Honr. "Admiral Dewey : The nation's capital welcomes you , the nation's hero.

This morning Colonel Daggett's force prcad along the road from Bacoor toward mus and three companies of the Fourth egimont under Captain Hollls were thrown ut from Imus , the two commands forming a junction. The entire line crossed the Iver nnd drove tha Filipinos from their renches to the westward , through rice ioWs and thickets. The marines , whoso services were ten- iercd by Admiral Watson , crossed the river near the 'bay ' , forming a part pf the line ot advance. Before the forward movement was begun the 'American ' artillery held the enemy's position. The only American casualty waa the wounding of a lleu- enant of artillery. Several wounded Filipinos were attended by Surgeon Major 'enrose and members of the ambulance corps. A number of prisoners were taken. General Lawton , while riding up the road o Imus , was a target for many shots. Tha telegraph line waa cut yesterday in a wind commanded by the enemy's trenches , at ,100 yards distant and when Lieutenant Cunningham , with a repair party , appeared o restore the wires , two men and.

The Americans took ono prisoner ana captured twelve rifles , 6,000 Cartridges , a quantity of rice and hospital supplies. . Another UtiMtratlon-of the insurgent policy ot evading meeting the Americans In force was shown by the fact that our lines swept across several miles of country firing by vol- ey and cheering , the Filipinos melting be fore thorn. Only occasional glimpses of the enemy could > be had oa they ran from their trenches and dodged through the bushes like rabbits. Ono body of the enemjr under a lormor mayor of Imus retreated toward Perez Das Maras and another in the direc tion of San Francisco de Malabo. Lieutenant Knabenshlne , .with a party of scouts , crossed the river last night and tound 'twwity-clght dead Filipinos In the Tenches , fifteen of whom had been killed by one shell. When the marines marched Into Imus the soldiers cheered them and General Lawton commended them on their work.

NEW YORK , Oct. 3. As the sun set , a great ball of fire behind the Navcatnk hills , nnd the sparkling stars came Into the flaw less heavens , the biggest crowd of sightseers nnd yachtsmen who over sailed down Sandy Hook to witness the attempt of a foreign mug-hunter to wrest from America the yachting supremacy of the world , returned to New York crestfallen and disappointed. The winds from the caves of old ocean had proven too light nnd shifty , and the first of the International aeries of 1S99 between the two greatest racing machines ever produced by England and America degenerated Into a drifting match and had to bo declared off bis cause rclther could reach the finish line In the time allotted by the rules. To avoid just such winds as occurred today , In which luck nnd not the crew and yachts win , the rules provide that If one of the boats docs not finish within five and a half hours the race Is declared off , BO at the end of the time this evening , whin the yachts were fctlll four miles from homo , with the Shamrock lending by something moro than a quarter of a mile , the committee officially declared that there had been no race. The yachts were then taken In tow by their re spective tugs and brought iback to their anchorage Insldo Sandy Hook. The clean limbed racers had sailed out this morning fresh for battle , 'but the sea had refused them a field of conflict. Under the rules the first raoo Is now postponed for two days , or until Thursday. The day promised well at first. The eky was smirched with a few dirty clouds , but clear enough to permit the thousands of spectators who lined the Jersey shore to see almost every foot of the course. The waves were crested with white caps hero and there and a fairly fresh breeze blow out of the north northeast , but after the Columbia and Shamrock had crossed the line , the wind turned flukey and variable and the race was a fizzle almost from the start. But the fluke today gave the yachting sharps and the spectators much to think about and some surprises. The Columbia Is undoubtedly the pret- tlor boat. She Is tall , stately , with grace ful lines and towering masts. The Irish boat , Wlti her broader beam and longer bass line , looked slower and heavier. Perhaps her green color makes her look clumsier , as If she were" forced through the water , -whllo the slim Columbia pierces It Hko a rapier. Though Indecisive in every respect as to the abilities of the great rival single- stickers , today's race Indicates that the Irish boat with her English skipper and her Scotch crew , Is the ablest eloop ever sent acrcis the Atlantic In the tope of lifting the 100 guinea cup which tbo Americans brought back forty-eight years ago nnd which has since been successfully defended against the world. Kncli In Tarn Xlc-nln tlie Other. During the five nnd a half houra' eaillng the Shamrock was thrice ahead and twice the Yankee boat showed the way. For the first ten minutes the Shamrock led , then for five the Columbia's graceful bow ehowcd ahead of the green boat ; for forty- flve minutes following the Shamrock , then for three hours the Columbia , and for the last hour and a half It was the Shamrock that led the way. The breeze blew as high as twelve knots an hour and as low as three and shifted about through olght points of thp compass. Each In turn beat the other running before the wind and was In turn beaten , beating against the wind at various stages of the tace , so that many of the experts who saw the two boats sail today are disinclined to believe that there Is a pin to choose between them ; but when the race Is closely analyzed It Is absolutely proven that the Columbia showed Its superiority at every point of run ning , sailing , reaching and beating when ever the wind freshened and that it was only In the lightest air that the Shamrock could make headway against It. Both had their share of good and bad luck. The Columbia had the bettor of the shifting winds on the run down to the mark and beat the Shamrock 2 mlnutis nnd 44 seconds ends , while on the beat home , after Increas ing ita lead to over a mile at one time , the Shamrock overhauled the Yankee and was a quarter of a mile ahead when the time al lowance expired.

The government was determined tills year that the course should bo protected against unofficial Ires- pcreers. A flotilla of revenue cutters and swift torpedo boats , flying red-barred while flags , guarded the course , keeping excursion steamers , yachts and luge at a perfectly snfo distance from the canvas-clouded racers. On the way down they maintained two par allel lines , n cnllu apart , two line fences through which not one of the pushing , crowding fleet of excursion vessels was per mitted to poke its nose. The broad expanse of sen Insldo , without wash or swell , was left clear aud free for the maneuvering of the racers. On the way back the patrol vessels were equally efficient. When the yachts were on the starboard tnck the torpedo boats were In column on the same course and the rev enue cutters abreast , behind the yachts , tin's forming a right angle , In the hollow ot which the yachts sailed without embarrass ment When the yachts changed course each ves sel of the patrol licet changed with It , simply altering the direction ot the moving angle and koeplng the excursion boats fenced off. It was only toward the close , when the hope of finishing the race WBB given up , that the oxcuraton boats crowded about the ends of the patrol lines , many of them making straight for home. Yankee * Quicker Than Illvnln. The couno was laid fifteen mllea dead before the wind nnd back. The direction of the wind carried this course south , south- v.eHt from the Sandy Hook lightship , al most straight down the Jersey coast to a point off Asbury Park , where a whlto float with a red ball was ( placed to mark tbo turning point. Tha Columbia was admir ably handled throughout the race. Though the Shamrock was Drst across the line by forty-three seconds the Columbia's Deer Island crew of Yankees , wearing their pic turesque watch caps In Iselln'o colors , were eo much handler than their Scotch rivals that they had the Columbia's spinnaker and balloon jib eot flrst by ithree minutes. The spectators marveled at the cloud of canvas the Leviathans carried. Straight up Into the air the Blender yards carried the point ot the pyramids of canvas for 175 feet. It is hard to realize that this means the height of an ordinary twelve-story building and that the frail ( hulls were Cowling along under the pressure of 14,000 feet of ' canvas. The twin ballobuSjwlth their 'following wln.l , lifted the Columbia along like a great gull In the tcn-knotbrec2o' and carried It In ton minutes past the Shamrock. But when the win died to six knots , as It did within n few minutes , the Shamrock forged steadily ahead , until at the end of forty-five minutes It led by 200 yarda. Then a sudden haul ot wind to the north , northwest reached the Columbia flrst. The big-bellied spinnaker was taken In , Its mainsail was smartly gybed and it passed the Shamrock as ir the latter 'had ' been moored to its wharf. Instead or a run the canting of the wind now made It a reach for the outer marker , but the Colum bia gradually edged over toward the Jersey coast with the intention of getting the wind astern and running straight before it. The maneuvers were successfully accomplished after crossing the Shamrock's bow , but Just as the spinnaker was set aboard the Colum bia the wind cantered back to the north , northwest and left it with a cloud of canvas , shivering like a collapsed balloon.
