they had done to warrant all the en-.
thusiasm which was being displayed.
Many of them were heard to make re-
marks to the effect that the battle of
Manila bay was fought so long ago
that they had almost forgotten it, but
that it seemed the American people
remembered it still.
When the Raleigh and her escort
reached the southern end of riverside
park two shore batteries fired salute
and the people along the shore, in boat
houses and in small launches fired of
cannon crackers, revolvers aud shot
guns.
Off General Grants tomb the cruiser
slowed down preparatory to turning,
and while the cheering and whistle
blowing and other noises were at their
height two 6-pounders on the Raleig'
commenced their salute of twenty-on
guns.
The last shot had hardly died away
when the Alvarado and Sandoval
opened with their national salute, and
a battery on shore joined in the trib-
ute to General Grant. When the sa-
lutes were concluded the Raleigh
turned slowly and headed down the
river. The trip back to the head of
Thirty-fourth street was made slowly
and the same enthusiasm was dis
played as on the run up the river.
When the Raleigh finally anchored
she was surrounded Immediately by a
fleet of excursion boats and as fast as
they could reach her Nangway the peo-
pie aboard them climbed on the cruiser
and extended personal welcome to the
officers and men. The warship was un-
comfortably crowded, but everybody
received a cordial reception and the
crew evidently took pride in showing
the visitors over the ship, and particu-
larly in pointing out the 5-inch gun on
the starboard side of the poop deck
that fired the first shot in the battle
of Manila bay. Many relatives and
personal friends of the officers and
men went aboard as soon as they could
reach the side of the vessel, and the
DAYS celebration concluded with these
general and Individual receptions.

William Finnie was another of the
bodies which the Coroner had accused
Hagan of embalming without authority
and in opposition to the ends of justice.
Mr.. Hagan, in explanation, swore that he
did not know that it was a Coroner S
case. The attending physician signed a
certificate that Finnie's death was the
result of an accident, and he remarked
that he supposed he would have to get a
certificate from the Coroner. But as the
body was rapidly decomposing he in
jected about a quart of embalming fluid
into the abdominal cavity.
Surgeon Zabala said that the embalm-
ing fluid would have masked whatever
injuries might have been received by the
deceased; but he found the brain in a
mushy condition, and gave as the result
of his investigation that Finnie had died
of softening of the brain.
The jury returned a verdict that the
railroad accident was a contributory
cause of his death.
In the case of William Hogg the jury
