in the pouring rain until the last man in the parade had passed and the shouts had died away.
 The beauty and picturesqueness of the pageant was destroyed by the indictment weather. The carriages in which the spon- sors rode had to be closed and the effect of the decorations on each vehicle was spoiled and the beauty of the occupants obscured. The rain poured in through the sides of the conveyances and the sponsors as well as the veterans suffered much inconvenience. Several states. dropped out of the parade when the rain was at it's heaviest, but for the most part the veterans plodded along until the end was reached.
 Distinguished Guests
 The parade was escorted by the Sons of Veterans. Following the commander-in- chief and his staff next in line came the Mrs Stonewau Jackson, Miss Winnie Da- wis, Mrs. John B. Gordon, General and Mrs. Longstreet and others.
 The first corps of confederate veterans commanded by Lieutenant General s. D. Lee, followed the carriages. General Lees corps, made up of the divisions of Geor- gia, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama and Mis- sissippi.
 The second corps, commanded by General Cabell, included the divisions west of the Mississippi, and New York and Chicago.
 The third corps, commanded by Lieuten- ant General Wade Hampton, included the divisions of Kentucky, Virginia, North and South Carolina.
 The reunion is at an end. The next en- campment goes to Charleston, s. c. But one ballot was necessary to decide this point, but the majority was not strikingly large.

called into the service of the United

and they have been ordered TO move to
the designated points with the least
possible delay.
Instructions, assembling all the vol
unteers at either Tampa or Cnicka-
manga Park, have now been amended

The Spanish fleet, according to dis
patch from Curacao, was still at that
place yesterday. 1t arrived there Sat
| urday. Curacao is an island of the
Dutch West Indies, and is seventy-fve
miles from the coast OF Venezuela. 1t
is said that the Spanish fleet went there
| to recoal from transport vessels station
ed in the ocean nearby.
Admiral Simpsons fleet, which was at
Puerto Plata, Santo Domingo, Satur-
day, was said vest, rday to be heading
toward Hayti. II is expected to take q
position in the Windward Passage, at
the eastern end of Cuba, to intercept
the Spanish squadron if it comes north.
From Curacao to Puerto Plata in a
straight line is about FIVE hundred
miles, though going through the Mona
Passage and circling around the central
part of the North Dominican coast to
Puerto Plata it would probably be
about six hundred miles.
The auxiliary cruiser Harvard, form
ery the New York, of the American

lack the battleship Oregon when the
latter appears.
