THE ('.LORIES OK THE WAR.
lira ml Preparations Mado nt New York
for Return of Victorious Fleets.
NEW YORK. August l;.-Rear Ad
mirals Sampson and Schley and the six
vessels of the North Atlantic sijundron
Unit tire coming to this port are expected
to urrlve some tlmo this afternoon. This
Is iiivordliik' to navul olhVers'' reckoning,
but l hero Is ti possibility that tho squad
ron will not be hero until late In tho
evening, or perhaps tomorrow morning.
If it arrived off Sandy Hook this after
noon It will be met by a flotilla of ex
cursion craft and escorted up the bay to
tho man-of-war anohnrago off Tompklns
vlllo. As the warships pass In at Sandy
Hook the guns at Kort Hancock will
belch forth n salute. At Kons Wadsworth
ami Hamilton more salutes will be tired,
so that the arrival of the squadron will
bo aiinouuneed to tho cltlncns of New
Goods Now
York, who are waiting to do honor to the
returning sailors.
'I ne ottkers anil the men on the war
ships are unaware of any reception pre
paring for them, and Rear Admiral
Sampson will bo Informed by a message
sent down In a dlxjiatch boat a soon as
he arrives. The lars will then have to be
stir themselves In preparation for the
parade which Is to take place tomorrow.
If they have any doubt ubout what the
public thinks of their exploit! In Cuban I
wat. rs they will tie sutistled that New
York and New Yorker arc well pleased
after they have seen, what Is aw-iitlng
them. Judging by the number of excur
tl'rti aniers and tugs btlm; engaged tor
tomorrow, the river will .'e crowded with
lull kinds of craft, loaded with sight.ers.
I who will cheer the tars all the way along
Ithe route of the partde. A great many
I steamers and tugs were hired for private
txirties un,1 many not so,-engugvu will
take on all who want to go on the river
and follow the war ships up and down.
The harbor police exjiect a busy day
keeping tho river clear for the war ships.
nt yet they have framed no regulations,
but thiy will probably do so today.
The parade. If the war ships arrive on
time. Is to Btort at 10 o'clock from the
anchorage oft TompklnsvlUe. The war
ships will steam slowly up (tie Hfldson to
(.rant's tomb where a national salute ot
21 guuns will be fired. They U1 make a
wide circle and slowly steum back to the
man-of-w-ar anchorage.
The excursion steamers, It is expected,
will wait for the war ships to pass by and
then follow In tluir wake, making a long
and picturesque procession. Every vessel
will be gay with buntlnK. and It Is expj'.-t-ed
that there will bs more ars and
stripes artoat In the harbor than were
ever seen at one time before. As the ves
sels pa.'s Castle William a salute will be
lircd. This salute will be equivalent to
an announcement that the parade has
started.
Tho Texas, which haa ben thoroughly
j overhauled at the navy yard, Is ready to
j join In the parade and will be a-" i.t her
proper place In the line. The cruiser St.
I Paul will also loin the oarade: so will the
antique monitor Nahant. which has been
anchored In the harbor since the war be
gun. The vessels in lino will be the New
'orlr, Brooklyn, Texas, Massachusetts,
Oregon, Indiana, Iowa, St. Paul, and Na
hant. Oeneral Gillespie, commander of the de
partment of the east, was ordered j ester
duy to have tho forts salute the vessels,
and he In turn Issued orders to the offic
ers In command at the forts.
As the day Is to be a general holiday In
this vicinity the river front will be doubt
less crowded with sightseers. Every spot
frxvm which a view of the Hudson can be
obtained will be occupied. There will be
crowds on the riverside drive and la the
park, where the regulations of the park
department prohibiting walking on the
grass will lie suspended for the day. At
the battery there will be another large
crowd and on the piers and docks where
admittance can be'obttUned, there will be
thousands to cheer tho retmalng sailors.

ATLANTIC AUXILIARY FLEET. .
Battle Scarrtd Monitors V5eng Htted Ir
Service In Cuban Ports.
NEW YORK. August 13. A special to
the Tribune from Washington, says:
Tho navy department has decided to
send all the single turreted monitors to
Culm and Porto Rico for duty as perma
nent guard ships In the chief har'iors of
those" Islands.
Preliminary orders assigning officers
and crews from the regular navy to the
twelve seaworthy vessels of this type
are being made out and several of these
formidable vessels will start for their
new p-jots In a week or two. These mon
itors which were built for service In the
civil war. several of them bearing scars
of conflict after 30 years of disuse, were
reslored to excellent conultlon soon after
the Maine was blown up. some of them
being equipped with entirely new water
tube boilers and having the benefit of
extensive Improvements. During the war
with Spain they have been manned by
naval militia men and constituted the
chief source of strength of the auxiliary
naval force guara.ng the Atlantic coast.
Orders were given several days ago to
place them out of commission as soon as
possible and return them to the League
lsiand (Pennsylvania navy yard) until an
other emergency necessitated their use.
In the meantime, however, the compli
cated problems Involved In maintaining
law and order, partlcu.arly In Cuba, led
to consideration of the availability of
these vessels as guardshlps and the au
tnorftles quickly reached the decision to
utilise them for that purpose.
The vessels are the AJax. the Canonl
cus, the Mahopaca, the Manhattan, the
Wyandotte, the Nahant, the Nantucket
and the Pusalc. They draw only 12 feet
of water and each of them carry two
15-lnch smooth bore guns In Its turret. It
is intended that' they shall not only pro
vide for the defence of Cuban harbors
against exterior assaults, but their mag
asines ure to" be stored with large quan
tities of grape and cannlster for the pur
pose of maintaining order ushore. Their
Is no concealment on the part of the na
val and military authorities to use this
grape and cannister to command a whole
some respect of the United States au
thority among the Cuban insurgents and
other obstreperous elements which will
have to be restrained when the Spaniards
evacuate the Islands, and the naval offi
cers, who will be especially selected for
these vessels on account of their discre
tion and good Judgment, will have full
authority to u.sperse any mobs which
may come within range. In each of the
ports where monitors are located there
will be no necessity for a military gar
rison. 1
It Is proposed to locate these single tur
reted monitors at Matanzas. Cardenas,
Sagtia la Grande. Glbura, Xeuvltas, Man
lanillo. Guantanamo, Trinidad, Clenfue
gos. Itahia Honda In Cuba, and at Ponce,
tn Porto Rico.
It Is also the Intention of the navy de
partment to send the douliler.irrcted mon
itors Puritan, Tcrrtor. AmphHi'ite and
Xlmntonorrrah to Havana, Santiago and
San Juan dc Potto Rico, perhaps two ot
them being stationed at Havana. These
vessels, while amon.? the most disagree

NEW YORK. August 19.-A special dis

As It has been agreed that General
Blanco and his troops may take with,
them the guns and arms In tho fortlllca

will be largely such as the United State
government feels oo.iged to accept to.

where the withdrawal of the Spanish
forces might otherwise lead to riot and
pillage. There i s)Uil among the admin

The commissioners expect to give at

They will look Into the condition ot so

people In the cities as to tho Introduction
