COLOSSAL NAVAL PAGEANT
Great Parade of Warships In Honor of Dewey
at New York.
NATION PAYS GLORIOUS TRIBUTE 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 afternoon.
No victorious king or prince, com¬
ing home from a successful war, ever
received such a magnifficent ovation an
overwhelmed the hero of Manili Bay
as he stood on the bridge of the
Olympia at the head of n magnifficent
fleet of steel thunderers 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¬
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
was rippled under the fresh wind that
held out flags straight and jaunty, and
the wharves and piers and rocky
heights and grassy knolls were black
with frantic, enthusiastic people, who
strived weakly to make their shouts
heard above the perfect bedlam of
tooting whistles that accompanied tho
admiral ashore and afloat.
As the tomb of General Grant on
Biverside driveway was reached, the
fleet paid its tribute to the memory of

LATEST PICTURE OF ADMIRAL DEWEY.
the great warrior with a national salute
of twenty-one roaring guns, Tbe fleet
then anchored and reviewed the almost
endless procession of craft that steamed
past, so burdened with humanity that
they looked as if they would turn tur¬
tle before they got back to their piers.
’ Toward the end the parade 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.
Remarkable Was the Demonstration.
New York has never witnessed be¬
fore anything approaching such a won¬
derful, remarkable demonstration.
The Columbian naval parade, the 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 not beyond the mark to say that
three million people viewed the pa¬
geant irom ashore and that a quarter
of a million were afloat.
When New York turned out to the
celebration Friday morning light
haze hung over the harbor, but this
was soon dissipated by the bright sun
which bathed sea and city in its bril¬
liant radiance.
DEPARTMENTS ORDERED CLOSED.
Washingtonians Given a Chance t » l‘«r-

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

People who went down the bay were
lost in admiration of the display of
bunting along the water front.
On East river from the bridge to tho
battery where the sailing craft lay in
droves the spars were covered with
such a mass of color as might be com¬
pared to a maple grown hillside in the
deep autumn. The tall spars of the
clippers were conspicuous for their
ensigns 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
and were 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 tho upper
bay, the spectacle they made will ever
he treasured in the memory of those
who saw it.
Farragut's Flag Unfurled.
Just as the signal to weigh anchor
was given, a pull ou the halyards
opened the roll and spread the four -
starred flag which Farragut flew as ho
ran the fort in New Orleans. It was
the flag which was presented to Admi¬
ral Dewey. As it broke upon the
breeze, sailors at their stations and
the marines on the quarter deck greet-
J 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 tlie Olympia
\ was the escorting ship Sandy Hook,
with the mayor and other dignitaries
aboard, and in her wake at intervals
of 400 yards, stretched out a mile
long, were the great towering war¬
ships, the armored cruiser New York,
the battleships Indiana and Massa¬
chusetts, cruiser 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 mast¬
head and taffruil. On each quarter of
the New York were the black low-
lined torpedo boats, three on ench
side. Tho rest of the procession
trailed out for miles. Slowly and ma¬
jestically the procession moved.
Admiral Dewey went, up on the after
bridge as soon as the start was made
and remained there throughout the pa¬
rade, a heroic figure outlined against
the skies for the thousands afloat and
ashore.

The London limes publishes long
extracts from a private letter rom

Aguinaldo is getting the making best ol it,
that the Americans are no prac- |
tical progress; that Aguinaldo has re-
g ained his ‘ nfllleuce over lhe Tlllu 8« s

MORGAN, GA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1899.
BOERS ADVANCE
TO BOUNDARY
Kruger’s Troops Prepare to Attack
the British Lines.
\
CLASH IS EXPECTED AT ONCE
Commander Joubert Gathers a
Strong Army On the
Frontiers.
A London special says: It is now
evident that Buffalo river, the north¬
eastern boundary of Natal, is to be
the opening scene of the war. In
view of its strategic value, Joshua
Joubert has taken personal command
of the Boer forces there, establishing a
strong line of pickets along the river
and has ordered the natives to drive in
all the stock.
All the available burghers in the
neighborhood have been requisitioned,
with the result that some two thousand
have mobilized at Wakkerstrom, tho
chief point of mobilization there.
From all points in the Transvaal,
Natal and Cape Colony came reports
of renewed military activity on the
frontiers, and while the movement of
individual command as yet do not show
concerted plans, it is evident that the
narrow, wedge-like strip of Natal,
whose apex is crowned with the omin¬
ous name of Majnba Hill, will be the
center of the coming storm.
Late Saturday afternoon the Boers
established a camp at Scheepers Nek,
near Vrykeid, and they will mobilize
a great force on the Buffalo river,
which the authorities at Dundee ex¬
pect will move across the border to
that point, probably at once.
It is is believed that a conflict at
this point will certainly occur within
a few days.
At the same time the Boers are col¬
lecting a force of 2,000 men under the
notorious commandant, Cronje, in the
Mulmani gold fields, near Mafcking,
where Colonel Baden-Powell is sta¬
tioned.
Dispatches from Tuli, Rhodesia,an¬
nounce that another force of burgh¬
ers is massed at Feitersburg, fifty
miles south, and that outlying parties
are posted at all the drifts along the
Mimpopo river.
The Boers openly threaten to raid
Vryburg, in British BechuaDaiand, as
soon as hostilities open, and The Kim¬
berly Advertiser complains of tho
apathy of the Cape ministry in not
taking steps to prevent this.
AGUINALDO TURNED DOWN.
For Third Time Otl* Refuges To Treat
With Rebel Leader.
A Manila special says: Aguinaldo’s
third attempt to shift his difficulties
into the field of diplomacy is a repeti¬
tion of the other one or two, with an
impossible endeavor to obtain some
sort of recognition of his so-called
government.
The Filipino envoys had an hour’s
conference with General Otis Sunday
morning. They brought from Aguin-
aldo a message that he desired peace,
and wished to send a civilian govern¬
ment commission to discuss the ques¬
tion.
General Otis replied that it was im¬
possible for him to recognize Aguinal¬
do’s government in any way.
A STORY OF HORROR.
Fifteen Passengers On An Emigrant Ship
Perished In "Wreck.
A Montreal special says: Two hun¬
dred and fifty scantily clad, baggage-
bereft men, women and children were
on board of an intercolonial special
which steamed into Bonaventure Fri¬
day night. They comprised the
greater number of those who sailed
from Liverpool on September 14th on
board tho steamship Scotman bound
for Montreal, which was wrecked on
the shores of the Straits of Belle Isle,
ou the morning of the 21st. It was
not ouly a tale of shipwreck that they
had to tell, but one of death, of suf¬
fering and pillage. Fifteen, at leaBt,
of the Scotsman’s passengers perished.
PRISONERS ARE RELEASED.
fillpinoit Deliver Up Fourteen American*
Whom Tltey Captured.
AdviceB from Manila state that the
insurgent commissioners arrived at
Angelas Saturday and stated the pris¬
oners were following.
Some hours later fourteen American
prisoners, all enlisted soldiers, were
delivered up by the Filipinos.
It is reported from Iloilo that the
Tagals liavo arrested Virayan, a gen¬
eral, charging him with being a trai¬
tor. Tribal discord, it is added, is
growing. Many of the rebel soldiers
have 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-
c , lttai x n( ii a> that 400 lives were lost
through tho floods at Darjeeling, eapi-
tal of tho district of that name, in ad-
ffition to those drowned on the plains.
Snow Fell In Michigan.
A terrible wind and snow storm pre¬
vailed in the vicinity of Bessemer,
Mich., Thursday. Several inches of
huow fell.
BOERS ENCOURAGED
Orange Free State Sides With
Transvaal Government,
ACTION MAKES WAR MORE CERTAIN
Great Kxeitement In Pretoria—Transvaal
Preparing; ami Hostile Feeling
Continue* To Grow.
Advices from London state that the
decision of tho volksraad of the Orange
Free State to join with the Transvaai
in the event of hostilities, although
fully expected, was the leading news
Thursday and will naturally stiffen the
Boers’ independent attitude, Tho
raad’s resolution has made tho broth¬
erhood of arms between the Transvaal
and the Orange Free States, of which
hitherto there was only a strong prob¬
ability, an absolute certainty, and the
British will have to face the situation.
Intense excitement continues to pre¬
vail at Pretoria, where, apparently, it
is believed that there is no escape
from war. The committee appointed
to consider the matter reported as to
what officials are necessary to carry
on the government in tho event of
war and fixing thoir salaries.
Tho field cornet at Pretoria ifi again
serving out rifles, commandeering is
actively progressing and all prepara¬
tions are being made to take the field.
An Englishman nnmed Bobertson
has been arrested at Johannesburg
charged with high treason. He is
alleged to have enlisted recruits for
the Imperial Light Horse.
The burghers are getting uneasy at
the concentration of British troops be¬
tween Ladysmith and Laingsnck, es¬
pecially at Glencoe and Dundee. The
nominal renson for the concentration
is the projection of the Dundee coal
fields; but the burghers shrewdly
suspect that the real reason is the
formation of a force which will advance
across the Transvaal frontier at Vry-
keid as soon as war is declared.
The Boers do not intend to bo caught
napping and are now massing around
Vrykeid, not, however, merely as a
protective measure, but to be prepared,
unless the British reinforcements
across tho border cease, to make a dash
in force through a portion of Zulnland,
crossing the Buffalo river at a point
below ltorkes Drift and then seizing
the railroad, ent off the British garri-
sons at Dundee and Ladysmith from
the south, which would not ouly inter¬
rupt the British lines of communica¬
tion, but would seriously interfere
with a forward movement. In order
to watch this portion of the railroad
exposed to a Boer incursion, the Brit¬
ish post will be established at Borises
Drift.
A telegram from Naples shows that
the British government is buying
mules there as welt as in tho United
States. It is understood that 10,000
will be purchased altogether, but as it
will take at least a month to get them
to Africa and a similar time to get an
army corps to the front, it is evident
that big operations will he impossible
until toward the end of October.
Information from Bloemfontein re¬
ceived at London Wednesday evening
leaves little doubt that the Orange
Free State volksraad is unanimously
in supporting tho Transvaal. Most
important light is thrown upon the
situation by a frank statement to the
Associated Press by Sir Walter Peace,
agent general for Natal in London,
who fought against the BoerB in form¬
er years. He said:
“The attitude of the Orange Free
State means its inevitable acquisition
by Great Britain. Peace in South Af¬
rica cau only be accomplished by war.
In iny opinion a war would not last
more thau two months. In order to
make pacification effective Great Bri¬
tain must nssumo absolute control
over the whole of south Africa.”
Amerlcim Aiding the Hour*.
The situation remains unchanged,
though if anything the feeling of gloom
has deepened. Cablegrams from Pre¬
toria and Capetown show that the gen¬
eral impression prevails there that the
boys will not recede from their posi¬
tion, and that the feeling of unrest at
Pretoria has been intensified. A dis¬
patch of Thursday announces that the
Transvaal government has begun to
appoint officers to go to the front in
case of hostilities.
TILLMAN “COMES ACROSS.”
Sinator Fay. What He Owe. to State of
South Carollnu.
According to Columbia dispatch
Senator Tillman has paid the amount
which the investigating committee
found he owed the penitentiary for
the brick, oats and other things wrong¬
fully received by him during the term
of Superintendent Neal.
The senior senator has sent his
cheek for $100.06 to {ho attorney gen¬
eral.
The bondsmen of Colonel Neal have
made good his shortage to the amount
of $2,000. Tho state will only lose
about $2,600 for which the bondsmen
are liable.
Reed’s Secretary Nominated.
Amos L. Allen, formerly privat*
secretary to Thomas B. Heed, was
nominated for congress by the repub¬
licans of tho first Maine district in
convention at Portland, Thursday.
No More Recruits Wanted.
Orders have been issued from Wash¬
ington to stop recruiting for the Thir¬
ty-eighth and Thirty-ninth volunteer
infantry, those regiments having al¬
ready secured an excess of recruits.
GEN. WHEELER
AT THE FRONT
Porac, Another Rebel Stronghold,
Captured By Americans.
FIGHT WAS SHARP AND SPIRITED
Alabamian and Mac Arthur March
Abreast In the Advance
Upon the Enemy.
A cable dispatoh from Manila says:
The movement against Porac, about
eight miles from Bacolor, in Pampanga
province, vihich bognn at daybreak
Thursday morning, was conducted
personally by General MacArtliur.
Genera! Joe Wheeler, with the Ninth
regiment and a battery, advancing by
two roads, while Gonoral Wheaton,
commanding tho Twelfth and Seven¬
teenth regiments, moved to block the
insurgents’ retreat from tho north.
The Thirty-sixth regiment accompa¬
nied General MacArtliur.
General MaoArthur entered Porac
at 3 o’clock, after half an hour's fight¬
ing. The American loss is not known.
Tho enomy fled northward. When tho
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, and the Thirty-sixth infantry, un¬
der Colonel Bell, with one gun, ac¬
companied General MaoArthur 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 fled 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 casualty and
Bell reported four men of his regiment
wounded. Tho artillery did not have
any men injured.
The day’s movement was a strate¬
gical success and resulted in the pos¬
session of Porac and the clearing of
several miles of oountry thereabouts.
The two columns, ono 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 tho captain
and commissary of Nasearno’s com¬
mand were taken prisoners.
The American loss was five wounded,
but there were many prostrations from
tho heat.
Englishmen from the insurgent linos
report that tho Filipinos at Barnban
have 7,000 new Japanese rifles.
TO RETAIN BRUMBY.
Admiral Dawey Will Kee,. G„or K lan On
Ills Stair While On Shore i>„ty
Admiral Dewey has made known to
the navy department that he desires to
retain Lieutenant Brumby as ono of
his staff while ou shore duty in this
country. This detail will raise Lieu-
tenant Brumby to the rank of captain.
The question under consideration,
however, is whother or not the comp-
troller will allow him the pay of a cap-
tain. The department claims that an 1
aid to a full admiral according to tho i
law, and certainly according to tho
regulations, must hold the rank of a !
captain. It is usual for an admiral to I
choose his aids from a class higher
than tho lieutenancy, but Admiral
Dewey wishes to retain the Georgian
and, of course, his wish is law in the
department.

LAND PARADE GREAT CLIMAX
Admiral Dewey Reviews a Great Host of
Patriots at New York.
FIFTY THOUSAND IN LINE
Event Unparalleled and Wonder
of Modern Times.
Schley Divides Honors With the
Hero of Manila.
The laud parade in New York Sat¬
urday in honor of Dewey capped the
climax. The city, state and nation
united in one vast demonstration wor¬
thy of tho hero of Manila. Fifty
thousand men were in line and the air
was torn with tho shouts of millions.
The naval parade of Friday was s mag¬
nificent and superb spectacle, bn*: the
wonder of modern times was the great
land parade which occurred Saturday.
Thousands of bravo men of our
land and sea forces, militia of fifteen
states and the veterans of tho civil
and Spanish-American wars swelled
the procession and gave it tho dignity
in size that it boasted in sentiment.
Walls of people, miles long, stretched
down the line of march on either side,
a dense, impregnable mass. Fifth
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¬
dows and on to the roof Hues, sat in
embrasures and crowded scaffolding.
Along Broadway where it crossed
the avenue the skyscrapers were as
crowded at the top as at tho bottom,
and for blocks down the intersecting
streets tenants hung from the win¬
dows and fire escapes, and multitudes
of them were on the roofs lying flat on
their stomachs peering down. For
hours they waited patiently and good
naturedly to see Dewey, and when
they saw him they waited on uncon¬
sciously for three hours and a half
while the whole procession passed.
The first ceremony of tho day was
tho presentation from tho city hall of
n gold loving cup to the admiral by
Mayor A’nn Wyck in behalf of the city
of New York.

Seventeen aeriat bombs from the

ing.
The commander was 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
tho rear of the Olympia battalion.
Then came the hero, the admiral,
and the officers of the fleet. All wero
in open barouches and at their head
was tho man of the hour. Mayor Van

“United States Senator Mark Hanna
Ka y B ti )is of tho possibility of Admiral
for the presidency:
“‘The practice of continually plao-
ioff tho name of Admiral Dowey ou tho

Powder Explosion Kills Five.
Five men were killed by tho explo¬
sion of a keg of power in a flro that
destroyed Cline Brothers’ hnrdware
store at Lockport, lad., Wednesday.
The loss is estimated at $50,000.
Harrison Concludes Argument. ]
At Wednesday’s session of the Anglo
Venezuelan boundary arbitration tri¬
bunal in Paris, former President Har¬
rison concluded his argumont on be¬
half of Venezuela.
$1 PER YEAR.
He received a demonstration second
only to that of Dowey. People all
along the line fairly arose at sight of
him, shouting their already lacerated
throats to the breaking point.
“Hurrah for tho hero of Santiago."
“There is the man that smashed
Cervera’s fleet.”
“Hip, hip, hurrah for Schley,” and
kindred cries came from all parts of
tho line.
In upper Fifth avenue some onthsi-
astic lady threw him a handful of
roses. They lauded fairly in the car¬
riage. The admiral leaned forward,
picked thorn up and lifted them to hia
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
street, only to be caught up by eager
spectators and carried to the carriage.
Before he got to Madison square, Ad¬
miral Scliley v as up to his arms in
flowers.
Tho marines ana sailors of the north
Atlantic squadron, eight battalions of
them, attracted much attention.
Governor Itoosevelt, riding a spir¬
ited black horse at the head of the na¬
tional guard of New York and sur¬
rounded by brilliantly uniformed offi¬
cers, 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 appearanoe
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, and took their places in the
boxes reserved for them. There for
the first time the admiral saw tho
great arch of victory erected in his
honor. Captain Coghlan and Captain
Wildes joined him a moment later, tho
crowds cheering like mad. Here the
admiral reviewed the entire parade.
Admiral Schley was very warmly
received at the reviewing stand. He
smiled constantly and bowed to right
and left. He and General Miles both
carried bouquets of flowers presented
by some ontlmsiasts on the lino of
march.
The greatest applause given to any
of tho military organizations was ac¬
corded to the crock 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, Tho
colors, torn to tatters, set the crowd
wild with enthusiasm.
Next to the reception to tho 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 cheer¬
ed.
About 000 veterans of the civil war
were in the parade and about 200 of
these were Grand Army men.
There wore several thousands of
veterans of the Spanish war. Most
of them wore their service clothes and
were repeatedly cheered.
Tho unarmed section passed quickly
in review and the parade was over. It
had taken just three hours and twenty-
eight minutes to pass. The first body
of the admiral’s sailors passed him at
2:12 p. m. Tho last man in line went
by at 5:40 p. m.
Hardly had the ambulances, which
brought up the rear, pulled under the
