VOL. LI—NO. BATTLESHIP 25. HEARTY AND CORDIAL BRITISH WELCOME Every Point of Vantage on the Rock Occupied by Specta- tors—Population Massed on Water Front— Official Calls—Receptions Planned for the Americans---Pro- gramme for Reception of Fleet at Hampton Roads. of the United States Atlantic fleet, composed of the Connecticut, Vermont, XKansas and Minnesgta, under command of Rear Admiral Sperry, arrived here | this morning from Vlilefranche. Al-| though the arrival of the squadron | lacked the noisy accompaniment of thundering guns, the formal excuange | of salutes being postponed until to- morrow in_defere) to the day, the British welcome was no less hearty and cordial. Throngs Watch the incoming Ships. From the mioment the glistening white hulls of the American ships were mere specks upon the blue water of the Mediterranean, every point of van- tage on the rock of Gibraliar was oc- cupied, and by the time they were ready to round majestically into the harbor the entire population seemed to have been ‘massed on the waterfront. The two British battleships, Albemarle and Albion, and the four shjps of the second eruiser squadron, just returned from South American waters, the Rus- siar battleship Tsarvetich and Slava and the protected cruisers Begatir and Oleg, the French gunboat Cassini and the Dutch gunboat Heimdall, lying in- side the breakwater, with sides man- ned, flags dipping and bands playing, greeted the Americans as each in turn entered and was berthed. The Ameri- can battleships responded with flags and music, the band on board the Con- necticut playing the national anthem of each country represented. As. they passed the bluejackets aboard the Rus- sian warships uncovered and stood with bared heads while the American | bands rendered “God Save the Czar.” | Official Calls. The official calls began as soon as the visiting ships were moored. Vice Admiral 8ir J. B. C. Goodrich, the ad- miral superintendent and commander of all the naval establishments at Gibraltar, although Rear Admiral Sperry’s senlor in rank, did not wait for the latter's visit, but immediately svent aboard the Connecticut to exiend his greetings. At the same time he insisted that the ships of the divisions | due here tomorrow should, as far as| possible, anchor in the basin instead | of on the Algeciras side as previously erranged. ’I*hx senfor officers uvr e foreign warships followed suit and later in the day Rear Admiral Sperry returned the calls, going first to Ad- Gibraltar, Jan, 31.—/The first dlvmon‘ !
