LANDPARADE GREAT CLIMAX
Admiral Dewey Reviews a Great Host of
Patriots at New York.

He received demonstration second
only to that Of Dewey. People ell
along the line fairly arose at sight of
him, shouting their already lacerated
threats to the breakingpoint
"Hurrah for the hero Of Santiago"
"rhere is the man that smashed
Ceryera's feet"
clip, hip, hurrah for schley, aud
kindred cries came from all parts Of
the line.
In upper Fifth avenue some enthsi-
astic lady threw him q handful Of
roses. They landed fairly in the car
riage. The admiral leaned forward,
picked them up and lifted them to his
lips. Instantly oil the ladies' in the
balcony seemed possessed with the
desire to have their flowers similarly
honored and he was fairly bombarded.
Many of the flowers fell into the
street, only to be caught up by eager
spectators and carried to the carriage.
Before he got to Madison square, Ad-
miral Schley vas up to his arms in
flowers.
The marines and sailors Of the north
Atlantic squadron, eight battalions of
them, attracted much attention.
Governor Roosevelt, riding a spir-
tied black horse at the head of the ma
tional guard Of New York and sur
rounded by brilliantly uniformed Off
GERS, received a hearty ovation from
one end Of the line to the other.
The national guard of all the states
made a brilliant showing and were
evidently proud of their appearance
and of the reception they received.
Before Madison Square was reached
Admiral Dewey and the receiving par
ty, in carriages, passed the front of
the procession and alighted at the re-
viewing stand opposite Twenty-sixth
street, and took their places in the
boxes reserved for them. There for
tho first time the admiral saw the
great arch of victory erected in his
honor Captain Coghlan and Captain
Wildes joined him moment later, the
crowds cheering like mad. Here the
admiral reviewed the entire parade.
Admiral Schley was very warmly
received at the reviewing stand He
smiled constantly and bowed to right
and left He aud General Miles both
carried bouquets of flowers presented
by some enthusiasts on the line of
march.
The greatest applause given to any
of the military organizations was ac-
corded to the crack Tenth Pennsylva-
MIA regiment, which got back from the
the Philippines n short time ago. This
regiment marched in the regulation
khaki uniform which they wore during
their service before Manila. The
colors, torn to tatters, set the crowd
wild with enthusiasm.
Next to the reception to the Tenth
, Pennsylvania was that to the Georgia
troops, who marched by with state
and national colors flying to the tune
of Dixie. They were loudly cheer
, ed.
About 600 veterans OF the civil war
