ROYALTY GREETED AT DETROIT.
Returning Troops Welcomed with Open
Arms and Plenty to Eat.

Returning Troops Welcomed with Open
Arms and Plenty to Eat.
Detroit, Sept. 5.-Michigan's volun-
teers who had part in the Santiago
campaign received a thrilling welcome
when they reached Detroit yesterday
morning. The tired, sick and emaciated
men of the Thirty-third and Thirty
fourth Michigan enjoyed the substan-
tails and luxuries of life to an extent
unknown to them since they left the
state last spring. All the hotels util-
lied their space to give food and COM
fort to the soldiers, and the hospitals
and homes cared tenderly for the sick.
1t was a sight to see a grimy soldier
carrying an old canteen, haVersack and
blanket inscribing his mama with dirty,
tremulous hand upon hotel register,
and happier sight to see him seated
in a sumptuous dining room ordering a
genuine hearty meal. Sadder scenes
were enacted at the railway station,
when lines of ambulances rolled away
with the helpless ones.
The first section with eight companies
arrived at the Michigan Central station
at 1890 a m. The boys were greeted
by the Detroit naval reserves and great
crowds, which flied the adjoining
streets. The weaker were driven to
hotels in carriages ard others marched
to the places assigned through cheer
ing crowds. The other three sections
arrived subsequently an hour apart and
these arrivals we've similarly cared for.
The soldiers will proceed to their
homes next week on their sixty-days
furlough. Citizens of Detroit raised 4
fund toward paying for entertainments
of the troops and Governor Pingree
guarantees that the state viii pay any
balance needed. Specials from all over
the state say that interior towns are
waiting with open arms to welcome
their representatives in the war.
