thousand . men wore m . line and the ., air
was torn with the shouts of millions.
na ' a P ftraue ° ri bv was a mag
niheent and superb spectacle, bu the
worder of modern times was the great
land parade which occurred Saturday.
Thousands of brave men of our
land and sea orces, militia of lifteou
states and the veteiaira of the civil
and bpauish-American wars swelled
the procession and gave it the dignity
in size that it boasted in sentiment.
Walls of people, miles long, stretched
down the line of march on either side,
a dense, . linpregnable mass, b ifth j
avenue from Fifty-ninth street to the
Washington arch at Fourth street,
where the parade disbanded, Was sol
idly packed with spectators, who over
flowed into the buildings and win
dow's and on to the roof lines, sat in
embrasures and crowded scaffolding.
Along Broadway where it crossed
the avenue the skyscrapers were as
crowded at the top as at the bottom,
and for blocks dowm the intersecting
streets tenants hung from the win
dows and fire escapes, and multitudes
of them were oil the roofs lying flat on
their stomachs peering down. For
hours they waited patiently and good
natnredi.y to see Dewey, and when
they saw him they w r aited on uncon
sciously for three hours and a half
while the whole procession passed.
The first ceremony of the day was
the presentation from the city hall of
a gold loving cup to the admiral by
Mayor Van Wvck in behalf of the city
of New York.
Fnrade Begin*.
Seventeen aerial bombs from the
top of the Waldorf-Astoria heralded
the approach to the reviewing stand
in Madison Square. Jackies of the
Olympia marching rank on rank at
the head of the column, their appear
ance being the signal for great cheer
ing.
The commander wa3 on foot, walk
ing in front of his men as army offi
cers do. A squad of sailors dragging
a rapid-fire six-pounder brought up
the rear of the Olympia battalioD.
Then came the hero, the admiral,
and the officers of tho fleet. All were
in open barouches and at their head
was the man of the hour. Mayor Van
Wyek sat beside Admiral Dewey in
the carriage. The front seat was bank
ed with beautiful floral pieces.
The admiral was recognized on the
instant and the cheers and hurrahs
that had greeted the Olympia’s men
seemed tame compared with the shout
they raised.
The gallant captains of the shijis en
gaged in the destruction of Montejo’s
fleet, except poor Gridley, who died a
month after the battle, followed and
also got a rousing welcome.
The three admirals,
son and Philip, as they rode by with
their brilliantly accoutred staffs, were
easily recognized and got flattering
applause, as did many of the popular
officers of the north Atlantic squadron.
The governors of the several states,
who rode iu carriages, though many
of them were popular and would have
received big demonstrations at any
other time, passed almost unnoticed.
The crowds would have none of them.
They yearned only for the brass but
tons and gold lace of military and na
val heroes and would have nothing
else. Both Major General Miles and
Major General Merritt got ovations.
But it was Rear Admiral Schley who
divided rbe honors with the central
figure of the day.
DEPARTMENTS ORDERED CLOSED.
Washingtonians Given a Cliance to Par
ticipate In Dewey Ceremonies.
The president issued the following
executive order Friday:
“It is hereby ordered that the sev
eral executive departments, the gov
ernment printing office and the navy

■with the original program.
The corner stone will be cut by

He received a demonstration second
only to that of Dewey. People all
along the line fairly nrose at sight of
him, shouting their already lacerated
throats to the breaking point.
“Hurrah for the hero of Santiago.”
“There is tho man that smashed
Cervera’s fleet.”
“Hip, hip, hurrah for Schley,” and
kindred cries came from all parts of
the line.
In upper Fifth avenue soma enthsi
nstic lady threw him a handful of
roses. They lauded fairly in the car
riage. The admiral leaned forward,
picked them up and lifted them to his
lips. Instantly all the ladies in the
balcony seemed possessed with the
desire to have their flowers similarly
honored and he was fairly bombarded,
Many of the flowers fell into the I
street, only to be caught up by eager
spectators and carried to the carriage,
Before he got to Madison square, Ad
In iral Schley a as up to his arms in
flowers.
The mar i nes a ud sa i] 0 rs of the north j
Atlantic squadron, eight battalions of
them, attracted much attention.
Governor Roosevelt, riding a spir
jted black horse at tho head of the na
tional guard of New York and sur
rounded hv brilliantly uniformed offi
cerij) received a hearty ovation from
one end of the line to the other. !
The national guard of all the states ;
made a brilliant showing and were
evidently proud of their appearance
and of the reception they received.
Before Madison Square was reached
Admiral Dewey and the receiving par
ty, in carriages, passed the front of
the procession and alighted at the re
viewing stand opposite Twenty-sixth
street, aiid took their places in the
boxeb reserved for them. There for
the first time the admiral saw the
great arch of victory erected in his
honor. Captain Coghlan and Captain
Wildes joined him a moment later, the
crowds cheering like mad. Here the
admiral reviewed the entire parade.
Admiral Schley was very warmly
received at the reviewing stand. He
smiled constantly aud bowed to right
and left. He and General Miles both
carried bouquets of flowers presented
by some enthusiasts on tho line of
march.
The greatest applause given to any
of the military organizations was ac
corded to the crack Tenth Pennsylva
nia regiment, which got back from the
the Philippines a short time ago. This
regiment marched in the regulation
khaki uniform which they wore during
their service before Manila, The
colors, torn to tatters, set the crowd
wild with enthusiasm.
Next to the reception to the Tenth
Pennsylvania was that to the Georgia
troops, who marched by with state
and national colors flying to the tune
of “Dixie.” They were loudly eheer
ed.
About 600 veterans of the civil war
were iu the parade and about 200 of
these were Grand Army men.
There were several thousands of
veterans of tho Spanish war. Most
of them wore their service clothes aud
were repeatedly cheered,
The unarmed section passed quickly
in review and the parade was over. It
had taken just three hours and tweuty
eight minutes to pass. The first body
of the admiral’s sailors passed him at
2:12 p. m. The last man in line went
by at 5:40 p. m.
Hardly had the ambulances, which
brought up the rear, pulled under tho
arch when squadron “A” galloped into
place for the admiral, ready to escort
him to his hotel,
Saturday night a smoker given at
the Waldorf-Astoria to the sailors of
the Olympia concluded Now York’s
wonderful reception of Admiral Ddwey
and his men.
Admiral Dewey was very tired at
the end of the parade. He was driven
at once to the residence of Manager
Boklt, of the Waldorf-Astoria, escorted
by squadron “A,” aud accompanied
by Mayor Van Wyck. He dined with
his lieutenants, Brumby and Caldwell.
Admiral Dewey did not attend the
“smoker.” He was feeling too fa
tigued to leave his apartments, and re
tired at 10:15 o’clock.

“MAKING NO PROGRESS.”
An English Correspondent Asserts That
Aiffuinaldo Is Holding: His Own.
The London Times publishes long
extracts from a private letter from
Manila, whose writer asserts that
Aguinaldo is getting the best of it;
that the Americans are making no prac

gained b.is influence over the villages
aud has lately obtained a lot of money
with which he is endeavoring to
foment disturbances in Manila.
ACTRESS IS INDICTED.
The Grand Jury At Chattanooga

A Chattanooga special says: Mias
Julia Morrison, the actress, was in
dicted Thursday nfternoou by the
grand jury in the circuit court of
Hamilton county for the murder of
Frank Leiden, or Leidenbeimer, of
the ‘“Mr. Plaster of Paris” company

leans, brother-in-law of Leiden, ap
pears in the court papers as prose
cutor.
The papers were presented to the
court nud the case set for hearing
Tuesday, October 3d. The prisoner
was later very much cheered by several
members of the grand jury who called
to see her and stated that while they
were compelled under their oalhs to
find an indictment, they felt sure that
she would be acquitted on the state’s
testimony.
Miss Morrison has takeu very little
nourishment since her incarceration in
the county jail, and that, together with
the mental worry and great suspense
pending the trial, have told upon her
greatly, and she apoears haggard and
careworn.
She is visited daily by some of the
good women of the city and she has
wanted for nothing in the way of corn

ciated Press reporter she stated that
there were details connected with the
tragedy that had not been brought out
and that would not be adduced in evi
dence unless it became necessary to
her acquittal,

and crews gathered on the decks of the
various warships while half a dozen
bands played the “Star Spangled

After finishing his correspondence
Admiral Dewey appeared on the qulir
terdeck and paced up and down for a
constitutional. At that time there was
fl score of yac hts around the flagship,
The people on tho excursion steamers
and on the yachts cheered wildly at
the first sight of the admiral, and he
was kept busy bowing in return.
Three hundred and fifty men who
fought under Dewey at Manila were

During the day Dewey and
his officers and men on the Olympia
were informally welcomed to the state
of New Y'ork by Governor Roosevelt
and the chief officers of the national

Roosevelt there were in the welcoming
party other men whose grasps of tho
admiral’s hand were something more
than formal.
Rear Admiral Howison said that
Chicago would appear in the naval
parade but that he would not take
precedence over Admiral Sampson.
FARRAGUT'S OLD ENSIGN
Presented to Admiral Dewey. Who Wa*
Deeply Affected.
One of the most touching incidents
since the arrival of Admiral Dewey at
New York occurred Thursday, when
the faded admiral’s flag that was float
ed by Admiral Farragut was presented
to Admiral Dewey.
Commander George W. Baird, who
sailed with Farragut and Dewey in tho
West Gulf squadron in 1861, presented
the historic emblem in a neat speech.
Admiral Dewey was deeply affected
and tears were in his eyes as he gazed
at the souvenir. It was several mo
ments before he could find his voice.
Finally he said:
“I’ll fly it. I’ll fly it at the mast
head. I’ll fly it in the parade. I’ll
fly it always, and when I strike my
admiral’s flag, this will be the flag I’ll
strike."
PRISONERS ARE RELEASED.
Filipinos Deliver Up Fourteen Americans
Whom They Captured.
Advices from Manila state that the
insurgent commissioners arrived at
Angelas Saturday and stated the pris
oners wore following.
Some hours later fourteen American
prisoners, all enlisted soldiers, were
delivered up by the Filipinos.
It is reported from Iloilo that the
Tagals have arrested Virayan, a gen
eral, charging him with being a trai
tor. Tribal discord, it is added, is
growing. Many of the rebel soldiers
hare revolted, many European prison
ers escaping in the meanwhile.
Lives Lost In Floods.
Lieutenant Governor Sir John Wood
bury announced to the council of Cal
cutta, India, that 400 lives were lost
through the floods at Darjeeling, capi
tal of the district of that name, in ad
dition to those drowned on the plains.

OEN.WHEELER
AT THE FRONT
Porac, Another Rebel Stronghold,
Captured By Americans.
FI8HT WAS SHARP AND SPIRITED
Alabamian and MacArthur March
Abreast In the Advance
Upon the Enemy.
A cable dispatch from Manila says:
The movement against Porac, about
eight miles from Baeolor, in Pampunga
province, which began at daybreak
Thursday morning, was conducted
personally by General MacArthur,
General Joe Wheeler, with the Ninth
regiment and a battery, advancing by
two roads, while General Wheaton,
commanding the Twelfth and Seven
teenth regiments, moved to block the
insurgents’ retreat from the north.
The Thirty-sixth regiment accompa
nied General MacArthur.
General MacArthur entered Porac
at 3 o’clock, after half au hour’s fight
ing. The American loss is not known.
The enemy fled northward. When the
Americans entered the town they
found it entirely deserted.
The attacking party moved on Po
rac in two columns. The Ninth in
fantry, with two guns from Santa Ri
ta, was commanded by General Wheel
er, aud the Thirty-sixth infantry, un
der Colonel Bell, with one gun, ac
companied General MacArthur from
San Antonio. Both columns struck
the town at 9 o’clock and opened a
brisk fire, which was replied to by the
enemy for half an hour. Then the in
surgents flod and the Americans
marched over their trenches and took
possession of the place.
Just before the fight Smith’s com
mand at Angeles made a demonstra
tion by firing artillery up the railroad
track.
Liscum reported one casually and
Bell reported four men of his regiment
wounded. The artillery did not have
any men injured.
The day’s movement was a strate
gical success and resulted iu the pos
session of Porac and the clearing of
several miles of country thereabouts.
The two columns, one from Santa
Rita and the other from San Antonio,
united before Porac, according to pro
gram, stretching around the place for
some miles.
Tho insurgents are estimated to
have numbered 600 men. Ten dead
Filipinos were found and the captain
and commissary of Nascarno’s com
mand were taken prisoners.
The American loss was five wounded,
but there were many prostrations from
the heat.
Englishmen from the insurgent lines
report that the Filipinos at Barnbau
have 7,000 new Japanese rifles.
TO RETAIN BRUMBY.
Admiral Dewey Will Keep Georftiflm fin
His Staff While On Shore Duty.
Admiral Dewey lias made known to
the navy department that he desires to
retain Lieutenant Brumby as one of
his staff while on shore duty in this
country. This detail will raise Lieu
tenant Brumby to the rauk of captain.
The question under consideration,
however, is whether or not the comp
troller will allow him the pay of a cap
tain. The department claims that an
aid to a full admiral according to the
law, and certainly according to the
regulations, must hold tho rank of a
captain. It is usual for an admiral to
choose his aids from a class higher
than the lieutenancy, but Admiral
Dewey wishes to retain the Georgian,
and, of course, his wish is law in the
department.
