cERvERAs' CAPE VERDE SQUADRON

Philadelphia, July 1.-The celebration of the Fourth of July in this city was unusu- ally elaborate. Not in the history of the city have the decorations been so profuse- The parade was a gigantic affair compos- ed of huge floats and marching men.
 The Pennsylvania society of the war of 1872 had charge of the exercises in 1nde- pendence Hall. Unusual interest attached to the ceremonies because the old state house which has been undergoing restora- ftion was to be formally turned over to the city quaint feature Of the exercises was an elaborate historic procession in which the sons of veterans took a con spieuous part.
 After the reading of the declaration of independence the old building was turned over to the city. EX-Senator George l.. Edmunds delivered the oration of the day.
 Washington, July arlington cele- brated the Fourth of July as because the capital of the country In common with the city was thrown into intense excitement and enthusiasm by the news from Santiago mad every one seemed to begin the day with the determination to make it memor- able. A platoon of light battery A fired Mckinley at 10 a. m. The society of the Sons of the Revolution and Sons of the American Revolution followed their usual custom and held patriotic exercises at the base of the Washington monument. The marine band was present and many ad- dresses were delivered.

IMPROVEMENTS
 ID BE HURRIED

Washington, July 4.-Reinforcements are to be hurried to General Shafter as rapidly steamships can carry them notwith- standing the fact that additional troops are not now badly needed as was indicated by the developments of Friday and Satur- day. The dispatch received by the war de- partmert from General Shafter show a confidence in his present ability to control the situation. In fact, he says that he is master of the city of Santiago, which his troops entirely surround. The position he occupies makes it impossible either for the Spanish forces to evacuate the city or for General Rando's troops to reinforce them.
 During the afternoon Secretary Aager, General Miles and General Corbin. had. a conference with the president at the white house concerning the sending of. reinforce ments to Shafter and it was determined to { take no chances, but to send the troops at once. sf
 TAe auxiliary cruiser St. Paul is now at New York taking on a cargo of ammuni- tion for Sampsons feet She will take the Eighth Ohio infantry, the regiment known the Presidents Own," from New York to San Francisco. The St. Paul will leave New York late Wednesday afternoon and will make flying trip to Cuba.
 The Sixth Massachusetts and Sixth llli- nois will move probably in a few days by either the Yale or the Harvard from Newport News.

rhe nayat Chattanooga

Chattanooga, July 1.-The Fourth of July was celebrated here with an enthusiasm and genuine spirit of patriotic fervor never before shown in this oity. Elaborate exer- cises were held at the big city auditorium, into which 5000 citizens and soldiers were crowded. Brigadier-General Fred Grant was present and read the Declaration of Independence. General Grant was given a great ovation. A patriotic address was delivered by General Sovan, of the First Mississippi gallant Confederate soldier, who "gloried in the fact that he now wore the uniform of the United States
 Rev Dr. H. c. McCook, chaplain of the Second Pennsylvania Volunteers, also de- livered a patriotic address. Chaplain Me- Cook is a member of the famous family of lighting McCooks,' and his address was seasoned with kindly and fraternal refer ences to the south and was greeted with enthusiasm.
 At Camp Thomas the day was celebrated by national salute fired by detail from a number of regiments. The signal corps gave a display of fireworks at an early hour this evening. A

of the Merrimac is likely to be another re- suit of the events transpiring today. It may now come about either by the surren- der of the city, which would include the surrender of Hobson and other American prisoners in the city, or else by the eX- change of FSSbson for Admiral Cervera or some other hfSNl ranking naval official Un- til today the possibility of exchanging Hob- son was slight, as this government had no Spanish prisoners of high rank to offer in his place. Now, however, they have one of the foremost AdmiraIs of Spain, over 1900 prisoners, and many officers or distin- guished rank.
 To exchange a Spanish admiral for an American naval constructor might seem strange under ordinary circumstances, but it would be done without any begrudg1ng by the authorities here, and would be par ticularly appropriate in view Of the action of Cervera at the time Hobson Surrendered to him. The dispatch from the front stat ing that there was likely to be some crfti- cism because of the treatment of the for- eign military attaches excited much indig- nation among the military authorities hfSe. Some of the highest officials in the service declare that the foreign attaches had re- ceived everything in the way Of aecommo- dation, supplies, rations, etc., given to our own officers and men. What was most sur prising was that this protest should come at moment when our men were fighting in swamp and thicket under blazing sum- with a thousand dead or wounded, and un- der the fire of an entrenched enemy.
 There is every disposition here to extend the most complete courtesy to these gen tlenen that is eonsistent~with the. <circum- stances. There is no purpose, however, to recognize them as a superior set, or give them greater attention in mounts. tents or attendants than our own officers and men receive.

THE LONDON TIMES
 ON SIMPSONS VICTORY

London, July 5.-The Times remarks edi- torially this morning:
 Admiral Sampsons brilliant exploit was as complete as Admiral Deweys was Noth- ing but the conviction that his plight with in the harbor was hopeless could have justi- fled Admiral Cerveras attempt to leave. Had he been able to judge correctly of what was passing in General Shafter mind, doubtless he would have remained. The difficulties of navigation probably light.
 Tt is not too early at this moment to foresee the wide consequences of the un- challenged supremacy of the American fleet in Cuban waters. Overpowered after an heroic defense, hr only course is-her to sek peace, which, even if onerous. can not be tfishonorable

THE DAY AT MIAMI.
There Was No Organized Effort to Celebrate
 the Fourth
snecial Disnatch to The Age-Herald,

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald. Miami Fla, July 4.-Although a gen. era order suspended all work and drills in camps today with the exception of guard and police duty, there was no organized effort to celebrate the national day. The city was even quieter during the day than on Sunday. The unfavorable news from Shafter published in a local paper threw a partial gloom over the military, which
 was. only relieved by a hope that the call for more men to the front would give the regiments here the activity they earnestly desire.
 The situation is different tonight how ever Soldiers and citizens have combined | on a double 'ceIebra tion and Bedlam reigns supreme The last fireworks in town have been exploed and even the heavily armed TXans have expended their ammunition in addition ss honor of the day and in celebration of the navy. The change came about sunset when the Second Texas commanded by General Op- penheimer were drawn up in review be-
 fore General Whaton. After the ceremony
 of saluting teh colors had been fully gone
 through with on the large open space in
 front of the Royal Palm hotel where the
 division headquarters are established
 The Second Texas was the only regiment
 to make any extra display. By order of
 the commanding officer, Sampson's mes-
 sageto the na ton, which had been handed
 to Colonel Oppenheimer by Assistant Adju-
 tant-General Rowland. was read to the
 regiment, and before the reading had fin-
 ished there was a truly Texan yell from
 the troops, which was taken up by a
 large crowd watching the military display
 and in two minutes the demonstration had
 spread from end to end of the encamp-
 ment.
 One of the men in long line under review
 was so impressed by the great news that he drew forth the immense six-shooter
 with which every thoroughbred Teyan is provided and turned it loose in dangerous proximity to the crowd of spectators, caus- ing an immediate flank movement. He will F probably get thirty days for using his gun instead of his lungs The city and camp
 is in a wild uproar tonight without any of the Baccanalfan side, drink cannot be
 procured in the town, and the utmost good
 humor prevailed, the dominant idea seem-
 ing to be to make as much noise as possi-.

Chicago, July 1.-The people of Chicago took unique and patriotic manner of eel ebrating Independence day A week ago everything was well advanced for one or the largest pyrotechnic displays in the history of this city. Everything had been arranged on an elaborate scale. Speeches were to have been made by numerous prominent men, All the preparations came to a sudden stop, several days ago when the army and navy league sent their mis- sionaries among the people and argued that the money expended for fireworks and other accessories could be put to better use by donating the money to the support of the soldiers fighting before Santiago. As result the treasury of the army and navy league has been enriched by some thousands of dollars. No organized cele- bration was therefore held in Chicago to- day
