ana Tomorrow. On Monday great
dep. onstrations in honor of the return
or Greedy will be held.
The organization of the naval diyis-
lon, which will be landed to partici-
pate in the ceremonies, is completed.
The naval divisions of the parade will

ing naval cadets, naval apprentices,
marines and brigade from the north

TO preside. Addresses will be made by
Secretary Chandler, Sam1 j. Randall,
senator Hale and perhaps Commander
'ScRiey. The programme for the cere- {

e1S the municipal authorities.
The survivors generally protested 6
against this sayidg they were entirely
able to care for themselves; but Gen.
Hazen firmly persisted, saying what
the department was doing was for G
their own good.
The surgeons and Gen. Hazen, then +
went to Admiral Willis residence {
where Lieut.. Greedy was questioned as
to his condition. He replied he was
well in every way except he was
weak. The surgeons gave it as their +
opinions that Greedy would require a
great care, his condition being IN 2
favorable. He has gained flesh at the
rate OF two or three pounds daily, but
muscle or strength. The rest of the \
survivors all gained flesh-too rapid r
not in so marked de-
gree as in the case of Lieut.. a
Greedy. Lieut.. Greedy asked the o
surgeons to permit him to y
make his quarters at the Rock a
ingham House. with his family, and
took place as to It's advis-
ability. 1t is likely however, that the
surgeons will yield to Lieut.. Greely's
wishes, but surgeon from the feet
will be assigned to the duty of watch
ing over him while he is in Ports
or until other arrangements G
are m-le by Gen. Hazen.
Hfhe employees of the navy yard and 8
cadets were drawn up in line before
Admiral Wells residence, at the navy
yard this morning, and were permitted II
to catch glimpse of Lieut.. Greedy as
he walked from the house to settee :,
under the trees on the lawn. d
Lieut.. Greedy is not permitted to
talk with visitors, and reporters are ;,
not allowed to interview him. He is b
so weak everything must be done to
avert the taxing of his strength, and
he is now being dieted on malt food. +
The object of retaining the surviv-
ors so long under military surveil-
lance and medical care, is that they d
may gradually have their muscles
hardened and their str myth made
genuine instead of 6c' itious, as the d
surgeons think is the case at present.
