Admiral Sampson. upon receiving
the news off ’l'omnklnavlile. detailed
his chief of stall, Captain Chadwick, of
the trulser New York, to go down to
Sandy Hook, meet Admiral Dewey and
confer with him as to what plans he
might have in view. on account of his
unexpected early arrival of Admiral
the day set for the reception.
Rear Admiral Philip gave it as his
opinion that there would be no change
in the original plans for the naval pn-
radc or attending ceremonies. 'l‘hc
unexpeted early arrival of Admiral
Dewey is likely to settle a difference
between. Governo Roosevelt and the
city members of t e Dewey committee.
It was reported yesterday that the gov-
ernor intended to anticipate the mall-
or's reception committee by going
down the buy on a private yacht and
being the flrst man to board the Olym-
pia.
There was no demonstration of an
official character in Rear Admiral
Sampson's fleet off Tompkinsviile.
when the new of the Olympia's ar-
rival waa received. Signals announc-
ing Dewey's arrival Were hoisted and
there was considerable cheering. It
had been planned that one of the fleet
should escort the admiral's flagship to
her anchorage inside the Hook. but of
course this planrhnd to be abandoned.
This afternoon the various commit-
tecs were in session planning the re-
ceptlon.
The scene in the lower bay became
livelier as the day advanced.
small craft flocked about the Olympia.
many of them bearing decorated tops
and all sounding their whistles. ’l‘he
big liners outward and inward bound
saluted the admiral and the flagship
was continually responding.
A launch from the Erin with Sir Tho-
mas Lipton on board went alongside
the Olympia early in the afternoon.
The despatch bout Dolphin with Rear
Admiral Sampson or his representative
on board hailed the Olympia soon after
i o'clock and fired the admirnl's sa-
lute of seventeen guns.
NO SURPRISE lN WASHINGTON.
Washington, September 26—Not the
slightest surprise was expressed at the
navy department over the arrival of
the Olympia before her scheduled time.
One of the officers on duty in the de-
partment rcmarkedairyly that Dewey
bad a llablt of surprising people. Ad-
miral Barker, who is about starting
for New York to welcome Dewey. ex-
plained that now it was undoubtedly
necessary 'for Captain Lamberton to
have at least a full day to clean up his
ship and put the big wldfe cruiser into
the apple pic. order which would be re-
quired in order that she might pass
muster under the keen and critical eyes
of the. many naval men who might be
among the throng of visitors expected.
