Great Parade of Warships In Honor of Dewey
\t New York.
NATION PAYS GLORIOUS TRIBUE TO MANILA HERO
Over a Million People Witness the Grand and Inspir.
ing Scene Ashore and Aboard.
The great naval parade in honor of
Admiral Dewey occurred at new York
Friday aftornoon.
No victorious king or prince, com
ing home from a successful war, ever
received such a magnifiicent ovation ao
overwhelmed the hero of Manili Hay
as he stood on the bridge of the
Olympia at the bead of a magnifiicent
fleet of steel thunderera of the deep,
followed by a thousand vessels of
peace, each tiered and coated with
people, and sailed over the waters of
the upper bay and up the broad path- j
way of the sunlit river, whose banks
were gay with millions of flags and
streamers dancing in the wind.
The weather was ideal, the water i
was rippled under the fit ih wind that j
held out flags straight end jaunty, and '
the wharves and piers and rocky !
heights and grassy knolls were black j
with frantic, enthusiastic people, who
strived weakly to make their shouts
hear<l above the perfect bedlam of
tooting whistles that accompanied the
admiral ashore and afloat.
As the tomb of General Grant oil
Riverside driveway was reached, the j
fleet paid its tribute to the memory of
LATEST PICTURE OF ADMIRAL DEWEY.
the great warrior with a national salute
of twenty-ono roaring guns. The fleet,
then anchored and reviewed the almost
endless procession of craft that steamed
past, so burdened with humanity that
thoy looked as if they would turn tur
tle before they got back to their piers.
Toward the end the pnrado became
disorganized, and it took hours for the
heterogenous flotilla to get by. Dark
ness at last brought relief to the tired
admiral, who had stood on the bridge
for six hours bowing his acknowl
edgments to the stentorian expression
of homage.
ltMnnrkahle Wat tit a Demonstration.
New York has never witnessed be
fore anything approaching such a won
derful, remarkable demonstration.
The Columbian naval parade, tlio ded
ication of Grant’s tomb and the recep
tion of the North Atlantic squadron
last fall, all pale before this gigantic
ovation to the sailor, who, in a single
morning, destroyed an enemy’s fleet
without the loss of a man or a ship.
It is uot beyond the mark to say that
three million people viewed tbo pa
geant trom ashore and that a quarter
of a million were afloat.
When New York turned out to the
oelebration Friday morning a light
haze hung over the harbor, but this
■was soon dissipated by the bright sun
which bathed sea and city in its bril
liant radiauce.

Tho Pittsburg Post publishes the
following:
“United States Senator Mark Hanna
pays this of the possibility of Admiral
Dewey for the presidency:
“ ‘The practice of continually plac
ing the nniue of Admiral Dewey on the
prospective list of presidential candi
dates is indecent. It is an insult und
gvcat injustice to the hero of Manila
bay himself, as he has frequency said
that nothing in the world would in
duce him to run for president or any
other political office. ”
VISAS OPENS CAMPAIGN.
Democratlr l)nn<lldntp l ? or Governor of
Ohio Mnk*A Great S^eoch.
The democratic state campaign wae
opened at Hamilton,o., Satnrday with
a great demonstration and speeches
by John R. McLean, candidate for
governor, and tho candidates for other
offices on the democratic state ticket
anil others.
Great interest was manifested in
Mr. McLean s speech and be deliver-
great power in the presence
thousand people, who cheer-
NAlepeatedly.
People who went down the bay were
1 lost in admiration of the display of
j bunting along the water front.
On East river from the bridge to the
j battery where the sailing craft lay in
' droves the spars were covered with
I such a mass of color as might be com
; pared to a maple grown hillside in the
; <!op autumn. The tall spars of the
! clippers were conspicuous for their
j euxigns and signals. Every craft in
; the harbor was decked out from stem
! to stern with all the grace and attrac
! tiveness known to shippers.
It was exactly 1 o’clock, the hour
fixed for the start, when the fleet, with
anchors shore-hove, began to move.
The ships had swung to the flood tide
mid wero pointing down stream. They
faced about as on pivots, and headed
for the Hudson, followed by the long
line of vessels in civic parade.
When the ships had straightened
out for their journey across the upper
hay, the spectacle they made will ever
he treasured in the memory of those
who saw it.
FarrHffiit'ft Flair Unfurled.
Just as the signul to weigh anchor
was given, a pull on the halyards
opened the roll and spread the four
starred flag which Farragut flew as he
ran the fort in New Orleaus. It was
the flag which was presented to Admi
ral Dewey. As it broke upon the
breeze, sailors at their stations aud
the marines on the quarter deck greet
ed it with the hip, hip, hooray we got
from our ancestors. The flag floated
proudly all through the pageant.
On the north beam of the Olympia
was the escorting ship Sandy Hook,
with the mayor and other dignitaries
aboard, and in her wake at intervals
of 4t)o yards, stretched out a mile
long, were the great towering war
ships, the armored cruiser New York,
the battleships Indiana aud Massa
chusetts, cruisor Brooklyn, second
class battleship Texas, the old wooden
Lancaster, the gunboat Marietta and
the Chicago, the flagship of the South
Atlantic squadron.
Old glory fluttered from each rnast
head and laffrail. On each quarter of
the New York were the black low
lined torpedo boats, three on each
side. The rest of the procession
trailed out for miles. Slowly aud ma
jestically the procession moved.
Admiral Dewey went up on the after
i e us soon as the start was made
, and remained there throughout the pa
j rads, a heroic figure outlined against
. the skies for the thousands afloat and
ashore.

It often lias been saidttiat the late Cornelius Vanderbilt was the “best of
the Vanderbilts.” lly that was meant that he was the hardest worker, the
most generous hearted, the most public spirited and the most lovable of the
numerous and enormously rich family which bear that name. Though the
sou and grandson of men of immense wealth, Mr. Vanderbilt began as a
hank clerk after a common school education, and underwent a useful training
in industry and independence. Ilis fortune is estimated at 3125,000,000,
though it is impossible to know the exact amount. Tlio total inheritance tax
to be paid to the Nation and State out of the Vanderbilt estate has been esti
mated at from 33,500,000 to 35,000,000.
W-HAT NOBLE MEN AND
WOMEN ARE OOiNS FOR
THE CUBAN REPUBLIC.
The Cuban Orphan Fund, which is
now fully started and doiug good
■work among the orphaned children of
the “reconceutrados” of Cuba, is
really the outcome of the American
Commission to Cuba last fail, prior to
the raising of the American flag over
the island.
The organization is entirely non
sectarian; the children are cared for
physically and mentally, entirely ir
respective of any religious sect. Their
condition is pitiable, and the neces
sity for bettering it is imperative.
The men at the head of the fund are
men who have personally cone in
contact with the misery, poverty and
utter destitution of the children of
Cuba.
These men are intelligent, farsee
ing, and fully appreciative of the
benefit which must eventually accrue
to the United States if these orphans
are properly educated and trained.
There is to be no attempt made to

proselytize them, beyond teaching
them to be moral aucl honest.
To better understand tho terrible
condition of the peasants of Cuba,
who are the ones now being benefited,
a few quotations from the report of
one of the American Commission sets
the facts more plainly before the pub
lic. He says:
“Cuba was not Bartering from a
commercial or financial panic. It was
in a state.of utter prostration and col
lapse. Business and agricultural life
hail long ceased. The whole island 1
was dead.
“Even now the result of Weyler’s
order of reconct-nuiUion is uot under

stood or appreciated iu this country.
Should the commanding general iu the
American Army issue au order the re
sult of which would be that one could
t.avel from New York to Rochester
and not see one cow, not one chicken,
not one farm house, not one man
working in the fields, it would be
something similar to the result of
General Weyler’s reconceutration or
der in Cuba.
{ 18t5ffl ? l
“The whole rural life of three great
provinces—Havana, Matanzas and
Santa Clara—was absolutely blotted
out. Occasionally a clump of banana
trees, whose roots had escaped the
lire, or a scarlet creeper, would show
where a farm house had stood; but
the tropical growth quickly covered
the ruins. It was inconceivable that
in the midst of this teeming vegeta
tion the country should be a desert,
for no sign of human life appeared.
“On the contrary, every town and
citj- visited was thronged with beg
gars, many of them emaciated aud
gaunt; women, children, cripples and
a few broken-spirited men; and the
dreadful odor of every place occupied
by Spanish soldiers. There was no
deceucy, there was no sanitation; in
our sense of the word, indeed, there
was no discipline. It was a wanton
and profligate devastation in the time
of peace.”
Amid all this misery, and herding
together like cattle, wore the little
children, the future citizens of Cuba,
whether as a republic or as a part of
the United States. And it was for the
upbringing ami developing of the
future generation of the island that
the Cuban Orphan Belief Fund was
started.
Mr. Charles IV. Gould, who is very
prominently connected with the fund,
made a remark a few days %go which
corroborates a statement made by a
Catholic priest, who hadjust returned
from Havana, as to The patriarchal
system in Cuba. Mr. Gould said:
“i never saw anything to equal the
love and sacrifice of the Caban
parents. The men died first, the
women followed, and it is the children
who are left.”
These remarks give an idea of what

"Wilson, and these three brave
jvomen, to use the words of one of the
" prominent members of the fund, “are
n ioing as true missionary work as any
ever did.”
v Miss Gill writes:
Vln Sancti Spiritus we found a
condition of suffering which is much
more serious than anything which we
have seen before. There are over four
hundred children who need to he
taken care of right away, and the
town has only been able to provide
for twenty-five little girls, who were
selected because they were physically
worse off than anybody else in town.
Although they have now been cared for
nearly six weeks, they are still mere
little skeletons, and almost make one
doubt whether it was any kindness to
help them to live a few years longer.”
Mis3 Gill’s last report gives most
encouraging news:
“We may now count that the Santa
Maria del Rosario work is established.
It is, as you know, of a purely settle
ment character, with headquarters in
a house rented from ex-Governor
I Mora, in which Miss Levy and Mrs.
Bar3aga, her Cuban assistant, reside
and in which the kindergarten will be
held for the present.
“The house has been furnished, and
the women are thoroughly installed
in their new home. The boys of the
town have come in quite large num
bers, requesting instruction, and sev
eral women have been in to ask if they
might be taught to sew and clean and
work according to our American
methods. The little children simply
SCHOOL Folt ADVANCED GILLS,
swarm around the house. The Mayor,
General Boze, of the Cuban army,
will have a tract of municipal land
plowed up for them with the town
oxen, and Miss Levy is going to give
them seeds an l simple little tools and
arrange for a man to advise them about
simple crops, hoping that in this way
she may come to influence their diet
and, to some extent, their housekeep
ing ideas.”
It has been urged by many that the
directors of the Cuban Orphan Fund
are wasting an unnecessary amount of
money on thoir plant—i. e., the pur
chase of buildings for homes, orphan
asylums and schools. This is not the
case, as the buildings which are set
tled and used for this purpose are prac
tically given for the purpose.
The pictures here presented were
all taken on the spot, and show the
practical good which is being done by
the representatives of the fund.

Enthusiasts in the gentle art ot
angling will be interested in the rec
ords of a recent expedition to Lapland.
It is an uncomfortable and expensive
voyage, and the entire absence of any
proper food in the country renders it
necessary to take everything which
the ordinary civilized being may re
quire. Bnt in these days of condensed
nourishment of all kinds that is not
a very formidable matter. On arriv
ing at their destination the party of
two rods and their followers found
the river frozen so that thoy had to sit
down patiently on the banks aud wait
for a thaw. When that came there
was too much water, aud fishing was
an impossibility. But when the river
got into condition they had grand
sport. They fished for eleven days,
and during that time the two rods got
a total of 282 salmon and 155 grilse,
in all weighing nearly 5000 pounds.
The best day’s catch for one rod was
thirty-three salmon and twenty-two
grilse, weighing 553 pounds in all. —-
