THE CAPITAL
He Received the Nations
Welcome.

| WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The home
coming of Admiral George Dewey
for henceforth the national capital is
to be his home-Has made the occa.
by Washington TO any individual.
After the preliminary welcome in
New York itself, unsurpassed in its
kind, it remained for the highest and
] greatest in the official world to hold
out the hand of greeGing to the famous
admiral, and to join with the people
| who are to be his fellow-citiZens, in
bidding him welcome. The citizens
had made every preparation to make
the occasion worthy OF their hero.
The decorations were elaborate.
PENNSYLVANIA avenue was one mass of
colored bunting along the entire line
OF march from the station TO the White
House, and, not content with this, few
private citizens failed to mako some
display of color on their resl-ences.
Uaique designs in fairy lamps Gotted
the horizon; great searchlights threw
broad beams of bright light across the
blue sky on a clear October evening,
and the stately capitol stood revealed |
In its queeniy beauty in the powerful
rays of many concentrated lights.
Dewey was taken directly from the |
station to the White House in a car
riage drawn by four horses, and was
given hearty welcome by the presi
dent and cabinet. After the formal
welcome they reviewed the procession
after which the admiral was taken to
the home of Mrs Washington Mclean,
tho home having been turned over to
him for home during his present stay
in the capital.
The magnificent sword awarded by
act of congress to the nations hero
was bestowed upon Admiral Dewey
today in the presence of the president
and members of the cabinet and the
Judiciary. the highest officers of the
army and navy and vast crowd of the
plain people.
In strong contrast with all the cere-
monies that have taken place since
Admiral Dewey reached the shores of
his native land, today's function was
severely official in character. The ad-
was executing the will of
the whole American people, and local.
lty ana community disappeared. Tho
scene of the presentation was appro- 6
located under the shadow of d.
the great white capital of the nation .
a spot filled with memories of other
stately ceremonies. :
The escort which marched in line :
with the admiral was made up entirely :
Of soldiers and sailors. There was
nothing in the general arrangements !
rs the immense crowd swept through !
the beautiful plaza to indicate that the
occasion was anything less than +
Inauguration. 1t was be-
fore this vast Assem- blage, amid a pro- ,
found hush, that Admiral George :
Dewey received from the hands of it's
chief executive the sword the nation
gave him.

General Alejandrino, the head of the

| So Decides the Nicaragua CourtmartiaI-
Other Arrests Made.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua. Sept. 90
Correspondence of the Associated
Press. THE courtmartial which was
in session here for several months
trying in the absence of most of them,
the chiefs of the revolutionary move
ment which began in Fe oruary at
Blue6elds, has proclaimed its decision.
General Pablo Reyes and two or three
other insurgenJ officers who escaped
from Nicaragua, are condemned to
the extreme penalty of the law, which
is death. Only one of the prominent
leaders were captured. He is now in
the penitentiary. 1t Is believed he
will be placed 10 chains for life by or.
der of President Zelaya, instead of
being shot.
To the general surprise of the public,
President Zelaya has within a day or
two arrested several prominent citlzens
of Leon. Nicaragua, and transferred
them TO the Managua penitentiary.
No public accusation was made in
these cases nor is any reason offered
for the arrests. The sensation is all
the greater because there have been
no indications of an uprising against
President Zelaya since last February.
Such lawless acts as the govern
:
usually at the expense of members Of
the party not in power, tend to check
the reviving activity and again to i'm
pair credit. Except for such arrests,
however, and the impressment into
the army, matters are fairly quiet.
