EUROPE AND AMERICA.

A correspondent gives at length. elsewhere In
tOday's Tribune. his views OF the plans OF the
chief Powers Of the European Continent For
self-aggrandZemcn and Of their attitude
toward the United States His letter is more
than ordinarily Interesting. partly because OF
the importance Of the theme, partly because OF
the shrewd observance and sane Judgment OF
the writer. To these may be added the not
insignificant circumstance that the views ex-
pressed are those Of an American earnestly CON
WINGED Of the righteousness Of his country
cause and Of the greatness OF It's mission among
the nations Not every reader may agree with
all of his opinions but they are entitled TO some
attention and respect.
The three nations under consideration are

bulk of Spain, and to extend her empire I'm East

also in her plans.
Hitherto there have been two Instructions in

BURIAL OF SOLDIERS.
Bodies of Fallen Heroes Will Be
Brought Home.

Washington, Oct. 1--Arrangements
are making at the war department to
bring to this country for interment
the bodies Of all the soldiers of the
American army who died in Cuba,
Puerto Rico or the Philippines. Con-
gress made an appropriation of $500, 900
for this purpose, and the execution Of
the law has been placed in the hands
of the quartermaster general of the
army, with instructions to spare no ef-
fort or expense. The present plans of
the department contemplate the re-
moval ros the remains of the soldiers
buried in Cuba and Puerto Rico as soon
as the weather gets cold enough to
justify such action. A ship will be
fitted up for the purpose.

the other in shouts of welcome. Amid
all the noisy demonstrations of greet
ing flags and kerchiefs were waved
eXultantly.
THE PARADING HOSTS.
Down Main street, following Grand
Marshal Bruback and aides and the
platoon of police, led by Chief Pratt,
came the regimental band, under the
leadership of Bandmaster Schaffner
Then came the eight companies of in
fantry, under command of Major j. NJ.
Thompson and staff, in all 4S4 men.
The sight of the soldiers in their fight
ing attire and the patriotic music from
the band intensified the enthusiasm of
the unlocking multitudeS. Following
the troops came Helds band, the veter-
ans of the Grand Army of the Republic,
the remnant of the national guard Of
Utah, the University club and men,
berS of the lodge of colored MaSonS.
Next IN line, in carriages, were the
state officials, the mayor and city coun-
.cilmen, the board of education, repre-
sentative colored citizens, civic officials
and prominent personages generally.
TOOK STREET CARS TO THE HOST.
The line Of march was down Main
street to Third South, countermarch to
Second South. and east on Second
South to State street, where a dozen
or more cars Of the Salt Lake City
Railroad company were boarded.
Cheers uOon cheers were shouted for
the soldiers as they wended their way
eastward. All along Second South
street and uD to Mt. Olivet cemetery
hundreds of people lined the curb to
shout welcome and wave a greeting
to the regiment From every house
step, as the electric cars passed, a hur-
rah was sent forth.
HOME, SWEET HOME"
When the last steep hill was ascended
the regimental band played Home,
Sweet Home" 1t warmed every SOL
dier's heart to hear that grand old tune
as through the mist the barracks be-
came visible. Every face was turned
toward old Fort Douglas-home. Ex-
pressions of joy were on every lip, but
regrets for their dead comrades We're
as often heard.
At last, and shortly after the noon
hour, the post was reached. Orders had
been given by Major Thompson to get
the tired, cold, wet and hungry soldiers
under cover Of the barracks as soon as
possible. Without loss of time the men
were marched to their respective com
pany quarters. The heavy burdens
We're unlOaded and warm handclasps
dIiu oISClIOHdte greetings were OHefeQ
by friends and kindred. The officers
hastened to their home quarters to re-
ceive the loving welcome of family and
their fellows in command.
MUSIC BY THE BAND.
AS the officers and the soldiers were
going to quarters, the regimental band
took its position in the band stand and.
played Tennis March," ''Landjigger,'
Second Corps Cadets March," and
Home, Sweet Home" The music went
out on the thick snowy air as a fitting
close to a joyous and yet sad chapter
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-10-02

The gallant Twenty-fourth is home.
The coming of the soldiers was the oc-
casion for demonstrations of joy,
mingled with sorrow-gratificatio that
so many of the heroes of the war had
safely returned, and regret because
Captain Dodge, Lieutenant Augustin,
Lieutenant Gurney and several more
of their comrades-in-arms had sacri-
feed their lives to the cause of liberty
and Cuban independence. No regiment
won more laurels in the late war than
did the Twenty-fourth infantry, and it
was fitting to give the brave colored
boys an enthusiastic welcome on their
return. When. on April 20 last, the
regiment marched from Fort Douglas
to help administer an effectual death
blow to Spanish atrocities on Cuban
soil, the people of Salt Lake City cheer
ed the infantrymen on to victory, and
gave them their blessings, for it was a
righteous cause. But on that chill.
bleak day everyone was aDDrehensive
that all would not be spared their lives,
all would not return. Vacancies have
occurred in the ranks, and the recruits
have filed their places. The home
coming of the laurel-crowned regiment
yesterday was amid a heavy doWnpour
of rain, snow and Sleet from froWning
clouds. The tears from heaven Sancti-
fed the glorious achievement of the
marching heroes. and the dead and
wounded soldiers.
THOUSANDS BRAVED THE STORM.
Every preparation had been made on
Friday to welcome the victorious regi-
ment, and the disappointment in the
delayed arrival was keen indeed. On
Friday everybody in the city would
have participated in the greeting. Yes
terday the welcoming throng was not
small; it numbered nearly 10000 pa
triotic men, women and children, who
braved the wet, chillingf storm to do
honor to the nations heroes.
A SPONTANEOUS, PATRIOTIC
GREETING.
The regiment arrived at the Oregon
Short Line depot from New York Fri
day night at 10:35 and reposed in the
palatial sleeping cars until morning. In
the morning each soldier had a cup of
coffee, and patiently waited for the
command Forward: march"
At 1920 the command was given, and
the last part of the journey to Fort
Douglas was commenced. Headed by
g platoon of police, the line of march
was taken up on South Temple to Main
street. The paved sidewalk was taken
instead of the muddy street. The thou
sands of citizens at the depot cheered
the infantry as they marched east
ward The cheers increased IN violence
and vigor. The throng Swelled in
numbers from every direction. Soon
were whistles blowing, bells ringing
and salutes fired. At Main street the
street pavement became the line of
march. The street, Notwithstanding
the snow and the rain, was a mass of
humanity. Each seemed to vie with

him with mud.
Later in the day, the dispatch adds.
some American missionaries were sim
ilarly attacked, as was the Chinese Sec
retary of the United States legation
The latter's ribs were broken.
Sir Claude Mcdonald, British minis
ter at Pekin, reports that there is
dangerous feeling abroad.
Steps have been taken to call the at
tention of the Chinese government to
these outrages.
POISONED OR STRANGLED.
A special dispatch from Shanghai
says:
The announcement of the death Of
the emperor is confirmed. The reports
as to the means employed in his taking
off differ. One story has it that he died
of poison, and another that death was
caused by strangulation, while a third
that he was subjected to frightful tor
ture, a red-hot iron being thrust
through his bowels.
A later dispatch from Shanghai says
it was semi officially announced there
that the emperor of China committed
suicide on Sept. q.
