Welcome Extended by Gov ernor of the State, Shores Blaze at Night With Brilliant Display. Many Visitors Hard Put to Por Places to Sleep at Night. THE STREETS RESPLENDNET WITH DECORATIONS DEWEY FORMALLY NOTIFIED BY GEN ERAL, MILES OF THE RECEP TION AWAITING HIM AT WASHINGTON. New York, Sept. 28. Although the celebration in honor of Admiral Dew ey does not begin until tomorrow, the admiral was kept busy today ,by re peated calls of distinguished visitors, while the Olympia, lying off -the Stat- en Island shore," was, surrounded ajl day by all kinds of craft filled with cheering thousands. The features of the day were the welcome extended Dewey by Govern or Roosvelt; the call of the Washing ton committee, headed by General Miles, to inform the admiral what reception was in etore for him at the capital; and the presentation to the admiral of the flag which Farragut flew at New Orleans, and which Dewey will fly tomorrow Tonight the shores and hills of Stat- en Island from St. George, where the Olympia is lying, to Fort Wadsworth, gleamed tortin a prunant welcome to Line hero of Manila. Red fire burned on the hail -tops urni one the side of the hill opposite the flagship "Dewey" Dlazed in letters twelve feet high. Thousands viewed the display. The city is filled to overflowing o night with visiting civilians and sol diers and many are hard put to to find a place to sleep. Decorations abound everywhere, and tomorrow will begin a welcome to Dewey such as has not been seen since the civil war. THE OVRERFLOW. The Hotel Keepers association is op eTating a systematic plan for the housing of visitors and is receiving the oo-ope nation of the Merchants' associ ation and the city authorities. The overflow in Manhattan is sent to Brooklyn ank3 to other rilacee across the rivers, where thousands can b cared for. The authorities in all departments Where life and property are concerned have been working incessantly and have rerfedted their plans for the eventful days. Chief of Police Devery having decided that there must be no obstacle in the way of the ambulance and fire department .service has made ah. announcement 'that was 'like an ice water drenching to the army of truck men who expected to coin money by standing trucks in the side streets along the line of parade and selling seats on 'them. The chief found that there were available corners for only about five hundred trucks, while he had on file applications for netarly two thousand truck stands. To add to his tribulations he was besieged by a host of small fry politicians working in the interests of certain truckmen con stituents and was annoyed until his patience was exhausted. He finally de clared that not one permit would be issued, for the reason that he intended t keep th streets clear for ambu lances and fire apparatus. TO PROTECT LIFE. "I have perfected the arrangements f or an ambulance service along the line oi march," said he. "All the ambu lances in the city not needed for other work will be disjtribu'fced at intervals along the line, while all the members of the fall the various hospital staffs that can be spared will be in attendance to man the ambulances. A complete chain of telephones will cover the line from start : to finish, and I know that we are prepared to meet any emergency, no (matter how severe a call it .may make upon us." THE, NAVAL PARADE. The formation and route of the ya val parade as laid down will insure ev ery vessel in the parade column pass ing in review before, the admiral and his flagship, passing the mah-of-var three times, and also passing the great allegorical -floats "Peace" and1 A ic tory" twice. Every vessel that car be laid hold of will go out in the excur sion fleet.' Not one that will float -is free of a contract to carry sight-seers.

From the Battery upward the principal streets were ablaze with crimson and blue aial white from hun dreds of illuminated signals of wel come. The multitude sought the wat er front where could be seen "Weltfome Dewey," emiblaz'oned in huge letters on the bridge". Red fire glowed on the bay shores, while search lights from several points, including the ships of the squadron, united in their rays over( the head of Liberty, forming an electrical' May pole. Buildings all over the. city were illuminated, while huge kites bore aloft brilliantly colored displays . A CHORAL WELCOME. New York sang its welcome to Dewey and the fleet tonight. Fifteen hundred members of the People's Choral union, on two steamboats, went down, the bay to serenade the Olympia, and while about it serenade the New York and Chicago too, and everywhere was re ceived with great enthusiasm. The Olympia acknowledged' the serenade with a band and noise. Dewey re ceived a committee from the singers and came out on the forward deck iand waved torch in greeting to the sere naders. A huge bouquet of roses was presented to the admiral. IN THE MORNING. Dewey was considerably fatigued, and did not rise until later ifhan usual. Hhe breakfasted at 7:30 and remained in quarters attending to mail which is accumulating very rapidly since he came into the bay. There was a large crowd of sight-seers out early and, they became enthusiastic when "at colors" was sounded and officers and crews gathered on the decks of the various warships, while a half do.u bands" played "The Star Spangled Banner." After finishing his correspondence Admiral Dewey appeared on the quar ter deck and paced up and down for-a constitutional. A score of yachts were around the flagship.

Admiral Dewey's Chinese servants were decorated. Rear Admiral Howison was an early visitor to the Olympia, and the boat load of visitor had the gratification of (hearing the admiral's voice. When Howleton was leaving the ship, and al most in the launch, Dewey shouted: "Henry, what about that dinner? "Oh," replied Howison, "I forgot it and I m going elsewhere tonight." "Nev er mind," said Dewey, "sorry I men tioned it." Another visitor, Captain Chadwick ot the New York, walked with Dewey on the quarter deck for almost half an hour. Later Dewey was joined' by Brumby and had an animated conver sation until a party of junior officers from the Chicago interrupted them. A boat Hoad of women attracted the ad miral's attention and catching sight of a flaxen haired Dole boy dressed in sailot clothes in the bow of the boat, he invited the party on board and de voted several minutes speaking to the littles chap on the quarter deck.
