Every ship in the harbor was flying every

thu buildings in the lower part Of

places from which the river could be seen,
were black with sightseers. When the
leaders in the parade got opposite Cover
nor's island the battery in the old fort be-
gan salute and the fleet steamed along
half hidden for q few minutes in smoke
from the cannon. The ships dipped their
flags in answer. but did not return the salute
with cannon. The bands played national
airs on the British ships as they proceeded
up the river, and the strains of music
waited across the water were plainly heard
by the crowds along the shore. The crew
on the mimic Columbus fleet cheered and
waved their hats as the navy steamed by.
1t was just II rs O'Clock when q sim

NEW YORK. April 28-President and
Mrs. Cleveland and party arrived here
from Washington City tonight. The
Pennsylvania depot in Jersey City was
hung with flags of all nations, streamers
and innumerable yards of bunting in
honor of the arrival of so distinguished
party. A rush was made when the train
pulled in and men DOTTED their hats and
women viewed Mrs. Cleveland with ad-
miration as the presidential party was es-
corted by members of the reception COM
mittee down the platform to where
the carriages were in waiting. The
party proceeded to the Victoria
hotel President Cleveland excused
himself from accepting an invitation ten
dered by Clarence w. Bowen on behalf of
the Union League Club to attend ban
quet there this evening. The cabinet Off
GERS were also compelled to decline a sim
liar invitation, owing to the lateness of the
hour of their arrival.
The reception given to the officers of the
visiting naval fleets ana the Duke of
Veragua by the Union League Club this
evening was a most brilliant affair. The
club house was handsomely decorated and
illuminated and impressiveness was added
to the scene by the presence Of marines and
q detachment from the Sixth artillery, act
ing as guards and escorts. In the assem-
blage that gathered to welcome the guests,
1000 people were present. The Duke of
Veragua, escorted by Cornelius Bliss, ar
rived shortly before 10 O'Clock.
With him were his brother and
son. He was escorted to the
library, where the visiting admirals from
our own navy were presented to him, as
were admirals and other naval officers from
the foreign ships. Fully half the guests
were in uniform. The supper was pro-
vided IN the banquet hall and the visitors
sent back to their ships shortly after mid
night with good impression of New York

GERS when they endeavored to arrest him

forts on the harbor turned their guns

by the snow-whits American vessels and

which place there is. 90 is said a large
number OF Brunswick refugees. II this
opinion is the correct one steps should be
taken 40 once to have the baggage and
clothing OF the refugees at that and other
places M the southern part of the state
thoroughly disinfected.
It is impossible. of course, TO say
whether this opinion is a correct one or
not, but it seems TO be a very reasonable
one The only thing that appears to
throw doubt upon its correctness is that
none of the residents Of Card. so far as
known, nor any Of the refugees at that
place has been attacked by the disease.
Still il does not follow that the germs of
the fever are not there Mr. Warren's
system may have been in a condition to
make him an easy victim of the fever.
There are good many cases of yellow
fever at Brunswick, but nearly all Of them,
Judging from the death rate, are of a mild
type, and most of them are among people
who, from all accounts, are not in posi-
tion to have the best sanitary surround
ings The colored people especially are
attacked, and it is a notorious fact that it
is difficult matter to get them to pay
attention to the laws of health.
That the fever will linger in Brunswick
until frost the physicians do not seem to
have any doubt, but there is hopeful
feeling among them that the death rate
will be very small If this feeling gener-
ally prevails among the Brunswick people
it will have an extremely beneficial effect
in enabling those attacked to recover
from the disease.
In the meantime, however, the situation,
as far as business is concerned, is just as
bad in Brunswick as if there were a dozen
deaths a day. The poor have no way of
earning a living and are almost wholly
dependent for food upon the charitably
people of this and other states.
There is no danger that more win be given
than is needed, because assistance will be
required for at least six weeks, and it
ay be two months.
