there was no sign of the way
being cleared. Then General Miles,
| mounted on beautiful black
hcrse in full dress uniform, dashed to-
ward the Admirai's carriage from the rear.
He halted but for second to greet Ad-
miral Dewey. and then rode ahead TO set
the line in motion 1t was discovered
that the cavalry and artillery which was
to have assembled for the parade had be-
come jammed On Pennsylvania Avenue,
near Seventeenth Street.
! At Seventeenth and Streets several in
| cidents occurred showing the democratic
ideas of Admiral Dewey. 1t was evident
that Chairman Moses was embarrassed by
! the delay. but Admiral Dewey never al
luded to the matter at all. and appeared
pleased with the situation. The people
cheered and he responded frequently. Once
a mother with a baby in her arms got to
the front of the rope and held the child
where it could see the Admiral The lat
ter, turning his head, saw the child, and
| playfully shook his hand to it. Several
boys in the crowd yelled constantly He's
the American hero Dewey did it,
"Eurrah for Dewey, the greatest Ameri-
can" More than once Admiral Dewey
| lifted his chapeau in response TO the boys
yelis. Then a youngster shouted: dewey
is the only American hero. ;" Admiral
Dewey turned quickly around and saw the
boy. and waving his hand at him. winked
mischieyously. At this there was more
cheering. Then for some minutes hescon-
versed with Chairman Moses regarding the
reception last night, and recalled the
names of the different members of the
Cabinet who were present
Just ahead of the carriage was Mounted
Sergeant John A. Hess, of the Seventh po-
lice precinct. Admiral Dewey saw him
and called Sergeant; oh, sergeant" The
! foot police standing beside the carriage
were surprised, but seeing that Sergeant
Hess did not hear the Admiral one of
| them told him that Admiral Dewey wanted
to see him. Sergeant Hess rode to the car
riage and Admiral Dewey asked: Ser
geant have you seen my mare recently"
Sergeant Hess was SO overcome that he
colld hardly reply and after a moments
| hesitancy replied .Yes, sir How is
she?" asked Admiral Dewey. Every well,
sir; she is still in Washington.
Sergeant Hess rode way and Admiral
Dewey explained to Chairman Moses that
he used to ride a great deal when he lived
in Washington, and had frequently ridden
| in the northwestern section of the city,
and knew Sergeant Hess well.
