WEATHER WAS FAVORABLE.

People Were Out at Sunrise to Secure
Desirable Positions.
NEW YORK. Sept. sO.-The second
day of New York city's official welcome
to Admiral Dewey opened clear and
cool. There was hardly a cloud in
the sky, and the temperature was just
low enough to keep the crowds on the
move for warmth. Many people were
out at sunrise to secure desirable po-
sitions from which to review the pa
rade, but lower broadway was well
filed with those who were anxious to
have look at Dewey on his way to the
city hall, whether they were to see
the great parade or not.

WAITING FOR HOSTILE MOvB
British Demands Have Cornered
Kruger snd BE Cannon Now
Possibly Back Down.

copyrighted, 1899. by Associated Press)
LONDON. Sept. 3o-war now seems
certain. The extraordinary delay Of the
Beers In taking a hostile Initiative is
still pacific circumstance. But il has
a doubtful significance when compared
with the genuine and far reaching
preparations they are making for hos
tilitIes.
The British government in always
insisting upon sovereign power. has
practically undergone no change
throughout the entire negotiations.
Every stage has depended upon Presi-
dent Kruger. II he would not back
down when British demands were less
sweeplngly expressed. he can scarcely
do so now when they are formulated
with almost brutal frankness.

NEW YORK. Sept. SO.--A dispatch
to the Herald from Manila says;
An escaped Spanish prisoner who has
entered the American lines says Gen.
eral MAscardo, with 500 insurgents. be-
gan retreat out Of Porac yesterday

insurgents were massed and where also
the rebels have powder works.
Four prisoners from the captured
American gunboat Uardanette were in
Porac and were taken TO Calumpet
by the retreating enemy. Five other
men OF the crew were killed.
Letters regarding the return Of the
American prisoners now in the Philip
pines are passing both ways. 1t is
possible that Lieutenant Gilmore and
his boats crew OF the Yorktown will
not be among those surrendered now.

JAPAN AND EMIGRANTS.

United States to be Questioned Con
corning Their Standing.
SEATTLE wash 1.-The emigration
question, says the Osaka Mainichi, is
giving the Japanese Government a lot
/ of trouble. Everywhere the emigrants
lhave gone they have met with Opposi-
ltion, and the policy Of the Government
| is to refuse as far as possible to grant
passports to free laborers to America,
Hawaii and Australia.
The adjournment of the United States
Congress before arriving at any decls-
ion on the question of the immigration
of contracted Japanese labOrers has
given further time for consideration of
the matter. The Japanese Government
intends to enter into communication
with the United States Government
with a view of getting a clear defini-
ton of the distinction between free and
contracted laborers.
Hitherto, it appears, the fact that
Japanese emigration companies are OBJ
|liged under the provisions of the jap
|anese emigrants protection law to keep
agents at the different landing places
and there sign agreements with the
|emigrants, promising them all neces-
sary assistance should they become ill
and helpless, has led to great difficult
ties with the United States customs
authorities ais to whether such were
contracted or free laborers. 1t is an
ticipated, also, that in the event of
contracted immigration into Hawaii
being prohibited the same difficulty
may arise there.

ALL FOR HELEN
Unique Testimonial Given
to Miss Gould.
autographs From Cuba-Names of
5000 Soldiers and Sailors
Field Writing.

! NEW YORK.-There will be present
handsome gift in the form of an album
containing the autographs of 5000 sol
diers and sailors OF o<e United States
who fought in the recent war; with
Spain. The idea of getting up an offer
ing of this kind for Miss Gould origina-
ted while the Army and Navy were in
and about Cuba, but the credit for OBJ
tanning the signatures through person
al efforts is chiefly due to James S.
Fairman, who was in the hospital SER
vice of the army during the war.
The album is IA inches long, II inch
les wide and 31a inches thick. The
binding is of crushed Levant The
front pages were handsomely illumi-
mated in colors. The first page, which
bears the United States flag and that
of the Red Cross society, has the fol-
lowing inscription:
Army, Navy and Volunteer Forces
of the United States of America, Testi-
monial to Miss Helen Miller Gould,
New York City, N. Y"
Particular interest is attached to the
collection of autographs because of
the rough appearance of many of them.
The greater number were written in
camp or in hospital, and they show
that the writer's were in many cases I'M
able to obtain anything but the most
ordinary writing materials. The most
prominent autographs are those of Ma
jor General Joseph Wheeler and Col
onel Theodore Roosevelt.

BRITISH NAVY.

Increase in Personnel and Ships For
This Year.
Some striking facts about the navy
are attracting attention. The year 1899
will be unique in British records, for
not only will the personnel reach no.

ago, but no fewer than fifty warships
Of different types will enter the navy

These include the five great battleships,
Albion, Campus, Glory, Goliath and
Ocean, totaling 54,75o tons, and costing
$50, 900 900; fourteen protected cruisers
and thirty-one unprotected ships.
