THE RALEIGH WELCOMED
Great Enthusiasm at New York Over

New York. April lS.-The celebra-

which had to be postponed yesterday
owing to the warship's late arrival, oc.
Cured today. The Raleigh, accom-.
panied by two small war vessels, cap.
tured from the Spaniards last summer,
and fleet of about rs excursion
steamers and tugboats, paiaded from
Tompkinsville to Grants tomb and
from there back to anchorage in the
North river, off Thirty fourth street.
A steady downpour Of rain fell from
noon on. The air was raw, and the
officers and men of the Raleigh stood
upon the decks three hours drenched TO
the skin and shivering with cold.
Great crowds ascend led in Riverside
Park. overlooking the Hudson. and
men, women and children stood there
for hours under umbrellas watching the
vessels on their way up the river and
on their return. BY far the greatest
gathering of people was in the vicinity
of Grants tomb, which was the turn
ing point OF the parade. A national
salute was fired there by the Raleigh,
and also by the captured Spanish
prizes. and the scene was rendered a
memorable one by the shrieking of a
hundred steam whistles from excursion
boats and locomotives and cheers from
thousands OF people on shore, and on
the vessels IN the river.

Continuing. Mr.. Broderick said the
telegraphic reports received do not
afford sufficient material from which
to judge the cause of the recent hostili-

ton Of the United States and British

aggression against British subjects or
United States citizens. or their prop.
erty, which they were bound to defend.
Answering a question regarding the

broadcast the recent proclamation of
the Philippine commission, setting
forth the purposes of this government
with respect to the islands. l expect
he will clear all the prisoners he has
taken. and they will be sent to their
homes. BY this action it is hoped he
will prove to the Filipinos that the
Americans are not as barbarous as the
insurgents pretend we are and that We
propose to treat the Filipinos hu-
namely"
"Why is General Lawton needed at
Manila:'
General Otis has not commun icated
his plans to the department, the mat
ter being left entirely to his discretion.
The insurgent leader has established
his headquarters at San Tornado, to the
northwest of Malolos. and l suppose
General Otis contemplates a movement
against that city. General Lawton had
only 1900 men under his command.
and it was of course impossible for
him to divide his force by stationing
attachments in every village captured.
His command will be useful, however,
in assisting in the advance on Malolos,
or in reinforcing the line about the city
of Manila. 1t is possible that when
the lake rises, General Otis will re-.
sumo the campaign in the southern
part of the island"
