 a flag. Not a dozen flags were to be seen in the stately plaza The roofs, the streets, the parks and the Wayslde Ill the suburban districts were crowded with curious. for the most part silent spectators. Now and again there was a cry ''Vive los Americanos," followed by a burst of cheering, but there was no general expression of public rejoicing, though Major General Lee who rode at the head of the column on gray charger, received a personal ovation along nearly the entire route.
