PROMINENT PAPERS
Were Not Granted Interviews by the

WASHINGTON, May S.-Secretary Por-

concerning the authenticity of certain al

pers: Enquiries have been made so fire.
quently that 1t seems that an official state
ment should be made concerning the quo
tations alluded to, which are bogus, not
only in text, but in substance. The presi-
dent made no such comments, either to rep
resentatives Of the press or to individuals.
Since his Inauguration he has strictly ad-
hered to the policy Of not talking for pub
lication, and this will continue to be the
invariable rule in the future. Any other
course would be injurious, for reasons
which need not be dwelt upon. The same
applies to Mrs. Mckinley, who has several
times recently been misquoted as having
granted authorised interviews.
'The president and administration, Of
course, rejoice in all the reputable sue
cesses Of American journalism, Of which
we have many fine specimens nowadays,

tracts from rather than add to the brill
liancy of these achievements. Our papers

more in the line Of escort. 1t was holi-
day. Thousands had, perhaps, arranged to
leave the city for the day, or had already
done so at the hour Of the parade, and
for numberless others churches held their
doors open alluringly. Sunday is a day
when nearly every one has somewhere to
go. Therefore 1t Is doubly to the credit Of
the people that they turned out SO fully and
gave the departing soldiers hearty fare
well. The enthusiasm was spontaneous, the
cheering general and the yelling not excep-
tional. Thousands Of miniature flags were
fluttering from hatbands and hands, and
thousands of little pieces Of red, white and
blue silk emblazoned the bosoms of patri-
otic wearers.
Yesterday people stood along the side
walks in comfortable proximity, and there

their good clothes on and they did not care
to have them rufrled. The line Of march

the route been the same on Friday even the
remarkable crowd of that day could have
been cared for.
The parade was not an extensive one,
but what there was Of 1t was good. 1t was
well and systematically arranged also, and
every division knew where 1t belonged. All
the organizations seemed to have had an

word, with the others tacitly understood,

The send-off at the depot before the train
pulled out was worthy of those who partic-
ipated in 1t. 1t was hearty, sincere, true
and affectionate, and moved even those
who engaged in 1t. The Herald received
the following telegram from Capt. Steere
last night:
"RAVENNA, Cal, May s, 1885,

express through The Herald the thanks of

their hearty God-speed.
"HENRY STEERE, Capt. Battery"

Erauduleut LIQUORS

The newspapers of this city recently gave
the names of several prominent liquor
dealers here who are being sued for heavy
damages in the United States circuit court
for handling bogus Hennessey brandy, An
gostura bitters and other imitation goods.
In the same article attention was called
to the fact that several other DEALERS in
this city were implicated in the sale Of
fraudulent liquors and that heavy damage
suits against them would shortly be insti-
tuted. AS no names were mentioned It has
been thought that this somewhat indefl-
mite accusation might work injury to in
nocent parties. and for this reason the rep-
resentatives Of the plaintiffs in this action
desire to have 1t announced that the genu-
Inc Hennessey brandy and Angostura Bit
ters are carried in large quantities by H. ].

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
An Exciting Runaway on Seventh
Street Near Westlake Park

Considerable excitement was occasioned
yesterday by runaway which occurred
on Seventh street In the vicinity of West
lake park, and that 1t did not result fatally
is something miraculous, when the crowd
ed condition of the streets in that neighbor-
hood at that time is taken into considera-
tion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ike Barman were driving
along Seventh street at the park listening
to the music, when suddenly their horse,
a high-spirited animal, became frightened
at an electric car, and before Mr.. Barman
could control him bolted down,Seventh
street With great difficulty and
presence of mind Mr.. Barman avoid
ed colliding with any of the numerous
vehicles and, keeping well into the curb
stone. finally got the animal under control
and succeeded In stopping him at the cor
ner Of Pearl and Seventh streets.
While both the occupants were badly
frightened, neither suffered any injury. The
horse was considerably cut up, outside of
which there was no further damage.

the recipients Of the flag would carry 1t to
glory and to fame.
Capt. Steere, in behalf Of himself and
comrades, responded with words Of thanks,
few in number but hearty and sincere. He
thanked those present for coming to give
him so hearty a farewell greeting, and
assured all that his men would give valiant
account of themselves.
Then the order was given for the men to
fall into line. This was done expeditiously,
considering that most Of them had never
been drilled, and even the captain was sur
prised The newly presented flag was CIV

to the head of his division. where 1t loomed
above the surroundings.
The commanders of the different sec.
tions of the escort got their men into line
also, and in but a few minutes everything
was arranged and the line started, less
than five minutes after the time scheduled
for it to move.
Some sections formed on Main street.
others on Eighth, east and west. By 10 :35
the escort was formed and the line was
prepared to start. First came Capt Rob-
erts and platoon Of police. There were
also six officers on horseback, who rode up
and down the line and kept the people from
encroaching on the street. Following the
police came the fire department. Chief
Moore and Assistant Chief Ed Smith in
their buggy, and behind them engines 3
and and truck 8, emitting steam and
blowing their whistles. A detail of twenty
firemen were also in line with axes and
picks, the spectators applauding literally.
Then followed about thirty or more let
ter carriers, who were there especially in
honor of C. C. Brewer, former comrade,
who was leaving with the battery. Behind
them were the normal school boys, in
good numbers and making a fine showing
Then came about 100 members of the va
rious lodges of the Knights of Pythias in
uniform and commanded by Captain @. s.
Adolph. A large flag preceded their divis-
ion and each parader carried a small flag.
Members Of the Jonathan club, who al
ways attend affairs of this kind In num-
bers, followed. They had about 15O in line,
under the command of Colonel Holabird.
They had a fife and drum corps enlivening
the way with martial music. and as they
progressed they were cheered as literally
as on Friday last, when Mr.. Sloane was
Uncle Sam. They had flags ad lib. with
them, and badges and buttons and things.
Nearly $50 veterans followed. walking rig

to the finish-as in fact they always do
when these men appear In parade. They
had with them the veteran drum and fife
corps, who can play yankee Doodle In
unsurpassed style.
Members of local volunteer organizations
followed to the number of several hundred,
making a good showing and receiving
praise for their excellent appearance and
suggestions as to how handily they could
rout Spanish regiment, if only they
would be given an opportunity. And that
is what these same men thought all the
while-will there be second call from this
section, and If so, will they be called upon.
The signal corps in uniform, with about
fifty men, came next, and then came Troop
d, Immediately in front of Captain Steere's
men, acting as honorary escort, all Of
whom received due notice in the way Of
cheers from the crowd.
And now the end of the parade is reached,
for Captain Steere and his 1856 men are
coming. They are absolutely unhampered,
carrying nothing with or about them.
They are men of but medium size, the ma
jority, but very wide in shoulders, deep in
the chest-men good to behold The crowd
cheered them necessarily from the time
one of the escorting engines blew the whis-
tie to proceed until the destination was
reached. There were not SO many flowers
as on Friday, but the hurrahing was as
tremendous.
The men marched like veterans, keep
ing excellent step. Every one remarked
upon their fine appearance and bearing.
The line of march was from the armory
down Spring street to First: thence to
Main, down Main to Fifth and from Fifth
direct to the Arcade depot.
The depot was reached shortly after II 80
o'clock. Thousands of people were already
there, awaiting the arrival Of the soldier
boys. Thousands of others followed the
marchers to the station, swelling the
crowd to nearly 10000. The parade had to
force its way through the surging mass of
humanity that wanted to get under the
depot roof, out on the platforms and to
the tracks. But above it all loomed the
batterymen's mascot, Remember" and
he received recognition and respect where

THE PARADE
Splendid Showing Of Escort and Their
Hearty Reception

The parade had much more system about
it than did the one on Friday, though of
course there were less people to arrange
for Every one seemed to know exactly
where he belongd in the line of march, and
even the veterans had come to an under
standing before the final hour. In the
order of escort there were perhaps less
than 1000 men, including the departing SOL
diers, but these made an excellent show
ing; and matters were SO arranged that the
line stretched for nearly five blocks. OF
course, there was q considerable gap be-

FAREWELL SCENES
Affecting Leave-takings at the Armory
and Depot

oAAA A<OPOS
The armory was sadly deserted place
after the crowd left 1t, about an hour or
more before noon. When one thought Of
the life, the scenes of activity and work
that were on every hand there all of last
week, 1t was sad to contemplate, 1t seemed
so very lonely and in need Of human popu-
lation.
Shortly after sunrise visitors were al
ready there. Most of the early ones, it Is
true, were the soldiers who were to leave a
few hours later, but many strangers and
friends were on hand also. The mission
Of some was idle curiosity, of others mild
interest in military events. Hundreds,
however, had friends or relatives who
were going to depart. They were there to
assist in the preparations and do what
they could for those who were dear to
them. By s o'clock the most of the artil-
lerymen were at the armory. Some came
with trunks on wagons, others with hand
grips, both large and small, and some with
things wrapped in paper which they car
ried under their arm. All of them seemed
to have brought something with them from
their home.
Thirty minutes later the parents, sisters,
DrOtnerS ana lmmeQlate relatives began to
come-few smiling, all of them apparently
sad. Most Of the grown folks brought
small children along with them. Sweet
hearts were present-many of them-and
have they ever been known to stay away
on such an occasion?
The departing men seemed to take things
coolly, and an atmosphere of satisfaction
pervaded them. They spoke laughingly
and answered lightly the man who re-
counted to them their dangers and the
chances they are taking. And many of
them have given up good and lucrative sit
uations-positions which promised them
well in the future. There was a postofrice
employe among the number, bank clerk

Food for Soldiers but None for the Re-

KINGSTON, Jamaica, May S.-Forty
Spaniards who arrived here from Havana,
which place they left on April oath on
board the Italian cruiser Giovanni Bosia,
were released from quarantine today.
They say there is plenty of food in Havana
but they add that 1t is held by spectators
at famine prices in anticipation of siege
and long blockade. Raw food, they say,
costs in the market about s. day for a
single person. Senior Julio de Cardenas, a
rich spaniard, paid 800 to feed his family
for twelve weeks before leaving Havana.
Finally, the refugees assert that the un-
fortunate reconcentrados are starving and
