New York, Aug. 22. ——The conquering
returned Saturday
morning, after an absence of. five
months in southern sees, the North At-
lantic squadron again appeared oflf
Tompkinsville, and how r'lorious was
the homecoming. There was one stran-
ger in the fleet whose proud achieve-
ments have made her name famous,
the battleship Oregon, who came from
her far off Pacific: home to meet the
enemy.
The six mighty battleships which had
performed such wonders in naval war-
fare were apparently unscathed and
looked as bright and new to the casual
eye as when they sailed away, while
the ships of the enemy lie shattered
and wrecked off Cuban shores.
The Homeward Voyage.
Promptl'y at." 10 o’clock on Sunday
m-oming,_ August J4, the New York sig-
nalled to go to sea, and the Oregon,
nearest the entrance, moved o.11t The
Brooklyn followed, and as she passed
the Badger, the Vixen, the Massachu-
setts and the Oregon, the men of those
ships lined up on deck and cheered vo-
ciferously. When the New York pas-
sed the column on her way out to take
the lead her band was playing “Ain’t
I Glad to Get Out of the Wilderness."
and as the ships caught the air there
was applause.
It was decided to run at eight knots
an hour, the Indiana being incapable
of sustaining a greater, speed, and with
the New York leading, the b'g shins
headed eastward. At 6 o’ clock Cape
M‘aysi, on the extreme east of Cuba,
was sighted, and at 7 o’clock the col
umn ofships headed to the north. At
7.30 o’clock the land for whose free-
dom American bravery had been tested
and American blood shed, slowly faded
from view. ,
So the fleet that for nine long weeks
had aided and watched the progress 0!
freedom, took last leave of, Cuban
Shores. Monday morning found the
fleet in sight of some of ”the smaller is—
lands, but away from Cuba. and in the
Windward passage.
The Indiana had developed a nine
knot speed and greater progress than
expected had been made.
On Tuesday the fleet passed in view
of the island where Columbus made his
.first landing. The Indiana, early in the
day signalled that she had broken her
Five '
starboard condenser, and after she had .
spent three hours fixing it, she had to
go to work for a. similar length of time
on the port condenser. Despite the de-
lays, one- -half of the distance had been
made at Wednesday noon. the rate of
200 miles a. day having been accom-
. pushed. warm the exception of the In-
diana the fleet could have made eleven
knots an hour, the maximum speed of
the Iowa; and the Massachusetts, Or-
egon, New York and Brooklyn could
have made thirteen knots, but Admiral
Sampson decided to keep them all t.)—
gather.
Wednesday afternoon the Indiana
got up a speed of nine knots, and from
that time until Sandy Hook was reach-
ed the men in her boiler rooms and en-
gine rooms did splendid work. The-trip
was by no means made a. simple ex-
Besldes the daily rou-
tine, there were fire and collision drills
on all the ships, and active work done
in pain-ting and repairing. The weath-
er was fine, and rounding Cape Hat-
teras, usually so stormy, there was a
- calm, hot day.
Thursday and Friday were unevent-
ful, but very pleasant days. Saturday,
at 7 a. m., running by Scotland light,
the navy yard tug brought out an order
for the fleet to proceed up the North
river to Grant’s bomb, fire a salute and
return to Tompkinsville to anchorage.
There was nothing studied 01' formal
about fiche heroes.a¢s they came up the
bay and along the classic Hudson to
the tomb of the silent soldier and back
again to the "anchorage off Tompkins-
ville. It was such a. spontaneous and
tremendous outpouring of patriotic en-
'thusiam as the mill-ions who shared in
it will never forget. The time for mal'—
ing arrangements had been very brief,
only 'three days having been given to
the work.
The mavor of the city boarded the
flagship New York and in a bnio‘ ad-
dress to Rear Admiral Sampson ex—‘
pressed, so far as words could express
a feeli so intense, the thanks of the
oountr for 'the skill and devotion of
her sailors The rear admiral respond—
ed briefly, a1nd the warships, which had
never come to anchor, continued slowly
up the Hudson river until they came
opposite the granite pile within which
sleeps an immortal of the nation. Here
the guns of every ship, fresh from the
victories but just now acco-mpl shed,
belched forth the national salute {'0' the
hero of battlefields over which the tan-
gle of 1thirty years and more springs

jestically, the ships returned to theii
anchorage off Tompkinsville. That was
all, but a nation’s heart heart Was be-

The day was perfect. There was just 3
111011
the least suggestiOn of autumn in the!
air. The sun shone brightly all the
morning. Theheat was tempered by-
a gentle breeze. There were no serious .
accidents. The programme was can'-x
ried through exactly as scheduled, and
nobody was debarrcd from a view oil
the memorable spectacle, while through, 1
the veins of every man, woman and
child who loves a, hero (and who does
not?) the blood leaped and bounded
like a bloodhound in leash. Why
shouldn’t it have been a great day?
It would be interesting to know ‘jUSl.
how many people saw the returning
warships as they steamed up the bay
and up the Hudson river. There must
have been millions. of them. And. yet,
tremendous as the niulti-tudc, little un-
comfortable crowding. VTzhis is doubt-
less accounted fcr by the great length
of the naval parade. Staten Islanders
could see the ships without coming to
Manhattan. Thousands of Brokly-nites
were equally I‘ortunaxte. From the Jer-
sey shore the splendid spectacle was
equally as visible as from the western
shore cf Manhattan island. Riverside
park was thrown open, and it is estlo
'mlaited that 150, 000 persons were accom-
modated on its grassy slopes.
0n the water, h01'ever, there was
such a gathering of craft of all sorts
that it is perfectly safe to say that its
like has never been seen here before.
From the moment the’hull of the flag-
ship New York was discovered looming
up away down through the NarroWs,
until long after the entire fleet drop-
ped anchor off Staten Island in the af~
ternoon, the harbor and the rivers were
alive with craft of all sorts, sizes and
descriptions, from mudscows to trans-
Atlanti’c liners. ..
Thirteen Gone for Sampson. " "~
A fleet o-f‘tugs and steam yachts
scudded down through the Narrows to
escort the fleet, and with this mosquito
convoy the big fellows ploughed grand-
Iy along at the speed of eight knots,
which speed they held all the way to
Claremont. Fort Hamilton and Fort
Wadsworth began the day’s saluting
with thirteen guns for Rear Admiral
Sampson When the Narrows were
passed the battleship Texas, flying the
brand new flag of Commodore Philip,
sounded her salute of thirteen guns,
and from the flagship New York came
the answer of eleven guns for the new-
ly made commodore, so long known to
hisfiwors hipping crew as Captain Jack
Phlllp “We -m%--
The steamer Glen Island, bearing the
mayor and the reception committee,
came up about this time, and Mayor-
Van Wyck and a. special committee
were transferred on the police boat Pa—
trol to the flagship, where the mayor
delivered the address of welcome and
Rear Admiral Sampson made his re-
sponse. Meanwhile, the flagship had
signalled to the Texas to fall in line
art the rear, and the order was obeyed.
The warships proceeded steadily with-
out coming to anchor at any time. First
came the flagship New York, flying the
Stars and Stripes, as, indeed, did ever-y
vessel in the line, and from the main-
mast the broad blue flag of the rear
admiral, with its two white stars. Rear
Admiral Sampson himself stood upon
the bridge Then came the battleship
Iowa, and upon her bridge the grim—
faced officer who is known and admir-
ed throughout the country, as Fighting
Bob Evans, could be plainly seen. Fol-
lowing her came the Indiana, then the
Brooklyn, the flagship of Rear Admiral
Schley. No rear admiral’s flag was fly-
§
when two flag officers of equal rank
meet the flag of the senior is the only
one shown. The Brooklyn loomed high
above the water, and her graceful lines
and three tall stacks caught every eye.
The battleship Massachusetts followed
closelv, and then came the Oregon,
which with rthe Brooklyn ran down the
fleet and formidable Cristobal Colon,
and drove her a. Wreck- upon the south-
ern shore of Cuba. The Oregon attrac-
ted especial attention, not only on ac-
count of the wonderful record mode
on her trip around Cape Horn and. in
the battle of $ntiago, him because she
{Tad never before entere the port of
ew York. The Texas, whose captain,
now Commodore Philips-mid the roar
of battle and :in the presence of death
uttered the memorable words: “Don’t
cheer, the poor devils are dying,"
brought up {the rear.
In a Maze of rleasure Craft.
The entire fleet was now So surround-
ed by a seemingly inextricable mass of ,
tugs, rowb-oats,~sa.ilboa.ts, steam yachts i
and excursion steamers that it was dif-
ficult to see it well at any great dis-
tan-cc. Ant the same time the’air was
full of one great, gorgeous and hilari-
ous medley of, sound. On nearly every
steamer was a. bond~ “The Star Span-
gled Banner" was the only thing play—
ed, but nobody excepting those persons
who stood next the players could tell
whalt was being played. Every steam
whistle on' the bay opened up its bra-
zen throaot in one long whoop of delir-
ious joy and exultaetion. S'o tremen-
dous was the racket that when Castle
Wfll-iam let go its salute as the New
York came abreast of the font, puffs of
smoke were the only things that told
folks ashore that the salute was being
fired. It was a pantomime salute. But
if the ears weie filled to overflowing
with the gallant sound, the eyes could
not appreciate at once the scene. In
the center was the long line of slowly
moving warship-s, the graceful cruis—
ers and the low lying and deadly bat-
tleships, 'all of them clad in their grey
war paint and looking much as they
did when they went into action on that
fateful third of July. None of the war-
ships bore any decarations other than
the1Stars and Stripes, the signal flags
and the rear admi-ral’s and commo—
dore’s flags. They looked grim aind
menacing, even Within the shores they
had gone forth to defend.‘

SAGASTA’S INTERVIEW DISL‘IKED. ,
The President’s Instructions to
’ Commission Will Be Clear Cut.
Washington, D. 0., Aug. 22.——The sec-
retary of state spent Saturday at 'the
White House with the president.
pu-‘blished interview with Premier Sa-
gasm, in which the latter is reported
to have stated that the. present condi-
tion of affairs between this country and
Spain is “not peace, but a suspension
of hostilities," and the remarkable dis-
patch from Havana, reporting-six ques-
tions that the Spanish commission ex-
pects to discuss with our military com-
mission, formed the principal theme of
conversation between the president and
secretary.
These questions suggested from Ho.-
‘vana as a basis of discussion are con-
sidered by the administration as being
too ridiculous for serious
tion, namely, “est-o the form of gov-
ernment to be emblished'in 'Cuba."
A prominent official of the state de-
partment in referring to this matter
said: “Our commissionsocs to H3-
vana for 1the purpose of arranging for
the evacuation of the island of Cuba by
Spanish troops and volunteers, for the
establishment by the United States in
its own way of a stable government
for the island when the Spaniards have
departed. ‘
“This in brief is 1the work that the
commissioner has laid out for it. Simp-
ly this and nothing more, and the men
whom the president has appointed to
represer t him in Cuba and Porto Rico
will see to it that his wishes are carried
out on this line.
‘.‘It is well to bear in mind, however,
in this connection, that orders have
been issued to the commandant of the
Brooklyn navy yard to rush forward
wiit‘houl delay the Work of repainting
and putting in first class condition the
four great battleships, Iowa, Massachu-
setts, Indiana and Oregon. The orders
are explicnt. All other work upon smal-
ler craft is to be suspended and n01th--
ing is 'to interfere with the work on the
battleships. The administration does
not intend to be caught napping, and
those four mighty war craft are to be
ready in short order for any emergency
that may arise. It is a polite notice5
to Spain that if she wants any more
of the same sort that she has already
received we will be ready to give her
a. second installment of Manila. and
Santiago.”
SPAIN’S PEACE COMMISSION.
Names of Men Who Will Serve on the
Important Board Announced.
London, Aug. 22.—The peace commis~
sion will be composed of Senor Leon y
Castillo, the Spanish ambassador to
France; Senors Moret rand Merry del
Val and General Ce-rvera.
London, Aug. 22.—The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Sunday Times says:
The country is still without official
news of what is happening in the colo-
nies. The only intelligence the public
receives is contained in a few meagre
press telegrams which have been al—
lowed to pass the censorship.
Great surprise and indignaxtion have
been produced by the news of the at-
tack Upon and fall of Manila. Nothing
is known as to the conditions that led
to the surrender of the town. Agitation
is growing among the independent clas—
Ses with-out distinction of politics.
Serious rumors concerning Cuba are
current, and cable-grams are said to
have been received from General an-
co saying he fears the volunteers will
incite the Spanish and Cuban popula-
tion to revolt against the peace condi-
tions.
The battleship Pe‘ ayo and the armor-
ed cruiser Emperadi ' Carlos V have
been ordered to crui along the north—
ern coast for a time, landing the San-
tiago "troops at Vigo and Santander.
The evacuation of Porto Rico will be-
gin in September, but it is not expect-
ed that the embark-ation of the Cuban
troops will be commenced before De—
cember.

Spain ’5 Latest Demand.
Madrid, Aug. 19. -—The government
has resolved to insist that the capitu-
l1a1t~ion of Manila af-t er the signing of
the protocol shall have no effect in
the peace negotiations unfavorable to
Spain.
In any event the government holds
that the capitulation, 'ha ' been
signed by the commander oft town,
does not entail the surrender of the
whole of the Philippines.
All the indications are that the peace
negotiations will be prolonged. The op-
position factions are redoubling the ag-
itation for convoking the Cortes, and it
is said that Senor Sagalstxa begins to
hesitate, although he. shares the opin-
ion of the Duke of Almodovar de Rio,
the foreign minister, as to the inconve-
nience involved in a meeting of the-
Cortes and a series of debates during
peace negotiations.
It is possible the Cortes will meet af—
ter the elections to the. councils gen-
eral about the middle of the month or
September.
