I Captain F. B. Lawrence, chairman of the
' banquet committee, was called upon first
! to extend the greetings of the city snd
j the Loyal Legion to Admiral and Mrs.
Schley, and In so doing paid a hlgii com
pliment to the honored truest as did the
other speakers who followed. Tracing
the naal victories of modern time from
the battle of Trafalgar down to the pres.

the battle of Santiago was aa great, if
not a greater, victory than John Paul
Jores' remarkable one with the B"n
Homme Richard. Perry's battle on the
great lakes or Farragut's victories In the
civil war. and that the name of Schley
in future histories will e written along
side the names of those other command
ers t)f recent times. He bid the admiral
welcome to Omaha in no uncertain terms.
avr Is Alt Mlgkt.
Admiral Schley responded briefly, asaur
ing the people of Ctnaha that he seldom had
been greeted as warmly as he waa on the
occasion of this visit to the Nebraska
metropolis.
i "I was up in South Dakota yesterday."
! said the admiral, "and my welcome there
was so cordial, so sincere, so whole
j hearted. t:-,at I feared that If I stayed
longer in that rich land I would take root
i and never could get away. o I. or we.
came to Omaha, only to find a reception
i that even rivals that of the young state
i to the north.
"You have doubtless been somewhat
'disturbed within the Inst few months over
1 the discussion of the armament of our sea
going ships and the thickness of the armor
' carried, the weakness t the belt, or water
line, and other spots in the great ships.
' But let me toll you that the defects In
our ships are no greater. If as great, as
! the defects in 7S per cent of all the ships
j of all the powers, and there :s no need for
worry.
"And let me tell you, that gun for gun,

the equal of any In the world, and If the

I "The Army of the UnireiT Slates." was
the toast responded by by General Morton
1 The general painted a beautiful picture of
i the "great fire-eating monsters of the sea"
i aa he saw them riding at anchor In Cuba's
i southern waters when his troops were
j Unued on that disputed isle in the war of
ten years ago, and how he viewed them
with admiration and alarm. He told of
the loss of 1.700 men In the army killed and
wounded in the war. of the hardships the
land forces went through and the decrlva.
Hons the army experienced, "only to have

arose from the ranks of the army of the
rutted States a cheer for the navy that

Judge Lee Estelle was then called upon
to respond to the toast, "The Navy of the
United States." though the toastmaater
Issued the warning beforehand that tha
Judge did not know the difference between

respect, but said that whli he knew noth

Old Glory was flrat unfurled to the breeie

After the luncheon Admiral Schley made
his acknowledgement briefly when Intro
duced by Mr. Yates, who acted as toast
master. He stood up for the navy ss
against the attacks of the magazine writ
ers, saying:
"That while there were doubtless minor
defects In our rreser.t ships. 90 per cent of
them were better than the best of other na
tion.." Incidentally, he said: "That among
official circles It was known that Great
Britain's Dreadnanght was a failure, al
though no one In Great Britain advertised
that fact to the world, and would be use
ful chiefly as a basis for Improvements in
subsequently built vessels." The admiral
referred appreciating!) to his reception In
Omaha. "I like Omaha. I like your hos
pitality. I like your democracy, not politi
cal but social, and am glad to be here."
Dr. Miller and General Slanderson fol
lowed with a few brief remarks laudatory
of the g-jest.
