New York, Aug. 20.-Bradstreet's saws:

turn of peace, with the expectation OF
benefits to our export trade naturally ex-

of the feeling thus expressed Reflection
of the growth of fall trade is found in the
steady Expansion now going on in bank

Gen. Tomas Estrada Palma, dele

everything in it's path. The storm

and booming cannon. From Castle
William came the first salute. 1t was
merely a fash of bright red, which
was Immediately smothered in sheet
of smoke before any defamation was
heard. Then came the roar across the
waters, and the ships headed right in
the river on the way to Gen. Grants

All along the line, on piers, on sheds,

were damned with passengers, sinking
the sides of the vessels almost to their
guard rails on one side, giving the
impression that even the ships them
selves bowed in unconscious salute to
the returned naval heroes. The width
of the Hudson river was a struggling,
futtering. darting mass Of color, con-
fusion and cheers. AS the grim-look-
ing battleships moved up the river the
crowds became denser, and the en-
thusiasm was more marked. AT Riv-
erside drive, with it's steep, grassy
slope, the scene was like a vast amphi-
theater. Tens of thousands of per-
cons covered the green slopes, and a

thousands of people along the banks

STYLES of river craft blended their
shouts in a royal welcome Saturday

to the return of the victors. For al

heartiest enthusiasm for the home

Early in the morning the seven big
ships the New York, Iowa, Indiana,

the ships of the squadron were imme-
