Snn Diego, April 14. The Ameri

home waterB on ho Pacific coast af
ter a cruise of nearly four months
around the southern end of the West
ern Hemisphere, cast anchor off hero
at 12:47 today, thirteen minutes
ahead or schedule timo. Tho shores
of Coronado Ueach were lined for a
in lie or more with sn entinmlantln
throng slithered from all over tho
West.
The day of the flcet'B arrival open
ed dark and-tbrealenlng, but by noon
tho sky was a sapphire blue. Tho
shores of Coronado beach, tho van
tage point to view tho coming ships,
were thronged all tho morning, spec
ial trains, steamers and trolley cars
being -taxed to their utmost to handlu
the crowds. I
l-'alnt films of smoke rising to the'
clouds gave tho first indication of the
approach of the fleet, and nt 10:30
the flagship at the head of tho ap
proaching column could bo mudo out I
by powerful glasses, twenty miles
away. '
As tho ships passed the Mexican
boundary lino the first real American
note of welcome sounded. A party ot
customs otnriais on duty at iia ju
ana hud erected a flagpole on tho
shore, and at just tho moment tho
Collect leu t crossed the Imaginary lino
conforming to the boundary moult
ed and the little baud of patriots I
gave three lusty cheers. This demon- '
st rut Ion could not riich the ships of;
the fleet to gain a response, but tbe!
fact did not in any way diminish the
enthusiasm of lite partjr.

The four flagships, I'dunei-i lent . tie n-. :

Approaching the lirst of the Coro

signed anchorage positions.
The ouciiniliig of die Heel was n
beautiful sight, and Hie passage of
tile vessels to anchorage was accom-i

whistles, the ringing of bells and con-1
