On this coming Friday the Pan-Americans
will review parade given in their honor by
| the Regulars stationed in and about Washing
ton and the Dist Militia, thus exhibiting rep
resentations of every branch of the U. S. service,
! regular, volunteer, and naval as the marine
guard will also be ordered out, accompanied by
the Marine Band, The present intention is that
the programme shall be carried out on the
White House grounds, although it is claimed
the space is not large enough to furnish accom-
mediation for the thousands that will be in line.
The brigade of the Dist. Militia will alone fill
the lot. ''Very likely" said Col. Urell ''the
| Arsenal grounds will be selected instead, as
ample room is afforded there for the various
man@uyres of the different organizations. 1t
will be almost impossible to form SO many men
in the White House lot that good showing
may be made thereon. One good thing about
this parade is that it will be the first step toward
the amalgamation of the regulars and the
volunteers.
Brig. Gen. Ordway and Adit Gen. Long have
gone to New York. They will return Tuesday,
