A PEACE JUBILEE. ="
German Citizens VIII Celebrate the
Recent Victories.

The Germans of this city have taken the
first step to properly celebrate the recent
victories won by the American armies in
the Spanish war, and while the plans are
still incomplete there is enough in evidence
to warrant the belief that the affair will be
a success. Twenty societies, composed OF
members of foreign birth or extraction, have
already signified their intention of taking
part in the peace jubilee The programme
will include a big parade in uniform, with
lures of the war, such as Uncle Sam hold
ing out the hand of friendship to Cuba, the
friendship OF England and other interesting
incidents. Two bands will be in line with
music for the procession. The real celebra-
ton, however, will take place at the old
German shooting park, now known as Ger
mania Park Here speeches will be de-
livered in both German and English by ora
tors yet to be selected. During the exer-
cses a peace oak will be planted by the
Gardeners Association. Capt. J. l.. Bieler
will be- chief marshal of the parade. which
will include the following societies. Ger
man Pioneers, Maennerchor, Liederkranz.
Harugari Singing Society, Independent
and SOuth-Side Turner's, Orphan ASSocia-
ton, German-American Veterans, German
Military Association, Butchers Association,
Gardeners Association, Schwaben Associa-

the battery do not complain of the hospital
service. Though they have seen more serv-
ice they complain less of their treatment
than any other Indiana soldiers. Many of
the members Of the battery, in the light of
their homecoming, will make no complaints
about their experiences. Porto Rico, they
say, is about as unpleasant place as is
conceivable, but they saw interesting life
there The trip home on the Concha was
much better than the trip on the Roumanian
to Porto Rico Some of the boys s'stood in
with the officers and sailors on the Rou-
manian, and thus secured many comforts
The Concha had a light load, and rolled
heavily in consequence. This caused wide
spread seasickness but it also induced
agility in clambering over slanting decks.
When the Concha reached New York the
soldiers made a rush for the town. Their
experiences there they dilate on as most
do anything for them. The street-car con-
ductors would not take their money. 1t is
counterfeit the conductor would say. The
boys say the Rough Riders own New YORK

inch collars before the war now strut
around with their flannel shirts fiaring open
At Pittsburg women presented each MEM
Der of the battery with tin bucket full or
coffee and two sandwiches and an orange;
Then the boys began to eat. The eating did
not stop until they rose from the tables at
Tominson Hail. From Pittsburg all along
the line people wanted to force food down
the threats of the soldiers from Porto Rico.
Whatever may have been their hardships,
and the boys do not call them severe, they
are ready to forget them all. When they
were at Porto Rico they were continually
comparing 1t with Indiana. and that made 1t
seem many times worse than 1T was. They
are not complaining, but are acting as good
soldiers They know the difficulties the
higher officers labored under, for they saw

GENUINE HoosIER CHEERS
Greeted the Battery Train as 1t
Rolled Through Indiana.

Yesterday morning at $50 o'clock two
coaches attached to the rear end of the
regular east-bound train on the Pennsyl-
vania road rolled out of the Union Station
bearing about one hundred men who formed
a committee to meet the Twenty-seventh
Indiana Battery. 1t was thought the COM
mittee would find the battery at Richmond,
but kilograms received along the route gave
the information that the artillerymen were
at Centervile Though the Indianapolis
people were very impatient to greet the
boys, the trip was a most pleasant one
Ono of the cars was Mr.. Van Wrinkles
private coach. In it were two barrels Of
apples and great baskets of sandwiches,
boxes of cigars, bundles of fire crackers and
packages of fiaring red neckties. On the
side of the car was great banner bearing
the words welcome to the Twenty-seventh
Indiana Battery" This banner caught the
eyes of people all along the route. There
was great cheering. "Dore" Johnson, who
was dubbed 1.-The oracle before the train
was ten miles out, sat on a stool on the
rear platform and discoursed as lecturer
on the country through which the train was
passing. He was born at Dublin, and seemed
to have lived IN every town between Indian
apois and Centerville. As the train passed
through Lewsville and Cambridge City Mr..
Johnson pointed out orchards, saying, We
stolen apples in. that orchard" Another
five miles passed and he said, see tnat
ground there? i was licked once for stand
ing outside the fence while another boy
stole watermelOnS.
COMMITTEE WORE RED TIES.
The members of the committee were sup
piled with red neckties, and it was funny
to see staid men who always wear somber
black with neckties which blazed forth
from their collars. AS the train drew into
Centerville great sound of yelling reached
the cars, and the men of the committee did
not wait for the train 20 stop before jump
ing to the ground and throwing themselves
into the arms of the boys of Battery A,
who knew of the coming OF the train
and were ready to greet their Indian
apolis friends. The When Band started up
a medley of patriotic airs and that new
Battle Hymn Of the Republic, ''Therell Be a
Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight. A
scene of violent handShaking, the slapping
Of backs and almost hysterical laughter
followed. The boys led the committee into
where the Centerville people had set tables
and had spread them with chicken. jelly and
all the celicacies of home. Two of the
members OF the battery-Ernest Commons
and Flavius Harvey-live in Centerviile and
the people of their town could not do too

AT THE OLD ARMoRY.
The Battery Takes Up Temporary
HEADQUARTERS.


Headquarters.
After the magnificent reception to the
boys at Tomlinson Hall, the battery took
up it's headquarters in the armory building,
which none of them had seen. for months.
Lieutenant Waterman conferred with Capt.
Curtis at Tomlinson Hall, and it was de-
cided not to go into camp until tomorrow
morning, as it has been the mastering Of
ficers' policy to avoid working on Sunday
any more than is necessary. AS it was too
late to do anything last night, the boys
were ordered to report at Camp Mount to-
morrow morning at o'clock, when their
tents will be pitched. 1t was arranged to
place the cars containing the battery's guns
and camp equipment in the Pennsylvania
Company'S yards until Monday morning,
the company promising to seal the cars.
While nominally at the armory, many of
the boys were in reality at their homes for
the interval between last night and to-
morrow morning. Yesterday afternoon
spent the late hours of the day on the
streets. More than one was seen riding
about the city in family phaetons loaded
with mothers and sisters, who insisted on
coddliGg the returned heroes-the only vol
unteer Hoosier soldiers who got out of the
country
planned to Lieutenant Waterman that while
the books are in good shape, blanks will
have to be provided, so that the accounts
can be transferred to them. This will take
several days, but it is the hope to have the
boys furloughed within week.

George w. Johnston, the first captain
Battery A ever had, was on the train which
went from this city to meet the battery.
He was a person of much interest. Captain
Johnston took charge of the battery in 1852,
and was it's commander until 1885. When he
left it the battery had won 81 200 in prizes.

BATTERY AS FUTURE.
The Organization VIII Probably Go
Into State Service Again.

It is definitely decided that Battery A will
be remustered into the state service. All
that it requires to consummate it is the
formal agreement between the two parties.
the men on one side and the state officials
on the other. At no time since the battery
went away has the Governor wavered in his
purpose to remuster the men should they
desire to be in the service again, but moth
ing definite could be said about the matter
until some expression had been heard from
Captain Curtis and his men. When that
officer arrived in the city yesterday he was
asked by a newspaper man what plans had
been discussed by the battery members dur
ing their absence for being again sworn
irto the state service. Said he: II am
now an officer OF the United States, and as
such am not at liberty to discuss this mat
ter fully. The old Indianapolis Light Ar
tilery will never die cut. however and as
soon as the men are mustered out of the
federal service the old organization will be
re-enected on tha same lines as II was when
the call for troops came. The Twenty

The members of the battery brought home
many souvenirs of their service in Porto
Rico. Some of them wear "swagger" fancy
shirts, and one wears a Spanish flag around
his waist. Five skulls taken from a Porto
Rican cemetery are placed side by side with
ugly-looking centipedes bottled in rum as
the most grewsome remembranceS of the
campaign. Ok goads, canes, cups made of
cocoanut shells and hempen slippers are
packed with cigarettes made of black to-
bacco strong enough to strangle an Ameri-
can cigarette smoker. One of the members
Of the battery brought home five hundred
of these cigarettes.
