From Madrid.

MADRID, Feb. 6.-The Madrid news
papers without exception are rejoicing
over the outbreak of hostiliiies at Ma
Dils and express the delight that the
Americans are getting what they de-
serve. Experienced military officers
foresee grave difficulties ahead Of
the Americans, considering that il is im-
possible that they can conquer the in
land Tagals owing to their inability to
resist the exactions OF the climate as
the Spaniards did. The ministers think
that the hostilities at Manila may OBJ
struct the ratification OF the peace
treaty by the United States Senate, thus
creating further difficulties here.

riags Containing the Admiral and

Before the eyes of a countless host
passed the great land parade of the

Saturday. Sept. 3oth.
The parade started from Grants

nue. and cross streets east of River
side drive, between One Hundred and
Fourteenth street on the south, One
Hundred and Twenty-sixth street on
the north and Columbus avenue on the
extreme west.
The troops were forming while Ad-
miral Dewey was on his way by boat
from the foot of Warren street to
Claremont. He reached the latter point
at 1890, and half an hour was con-
sumed in placing the guests and their
escorts In carriages in the proper or
der.
Olympia's Men Led.
There were 1000 sailors and marines
in line. The men Of the Olympia were
at the head of the column, marching
directly in front of the four-horse car
riage containing Admiral Dewey and
the mayor. Sousa's band Of 100 pieces,
the finest marching band ever got to-
gether, furnished the music for the
Olympia's tars.
In the naval division were the OFF,
GERS and men who destroyed Cervera's
feet off Santiago and Montejo's fleet
in Manila bay.
In the two carriages Immediately
following the admiral were four of
Deweys captains at Manila-Coghlan,
Wildes, Dyer and Lamberton.
Every branch of the service was rep
resented In the 1000 troops forming
the regular army division, including
the West Point cadets.
Practically the entire strength of the
national guard of New York, $4,000
men, were in line, with Gov. Theodore
Roosevelt riding at their head squad
ron A acting as his special escort.
Fifteen other states had 10000 men
In line. The visiting troops marched
in the order of the admission Of their
states to the union-namely: Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connec-
ticut, Maryland, South Carolina, North
Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri,
Maine, Florida and Texas.
Famous military organizations
which have done much to give luster
to the American army were in line
also the younger veterans, who gave
1t new glory during the war with
Spain.
