DEWEY’S SAILORS IN.

Buffalo Brines 596 Time-Expired Men from Manila. The auxiliary cruiser Buffalo, with 596 time-expired officers and men from Dewey’s fleet, has arrived at New York. The men were brought home for discharge, having been relieved by the detachment that was carried to Manila last December. On the Buffalo were forty■ine seamen who were on Dewey’s flagship when the Spanish ships were destroyed. No ceremonies of any sort marked the arrival of the vessel. As a matter of fact, it was not expected before another week's time. She made a remarkably fast voyage, being only forty-five days out from Manila.
