stayed all said they were glad they had come.
and that this was the boss town OF the earth to
come to see. 1t Is strictly in an Official sense
that the soldiers are said to have gone. There
were plenty OF them on the streets last night.
This was partly because the civilian part OF the
Dewey celebration crowds had thinned out so
that the uniforms became more conspicuous.
Then again the soldiers who straRgle behind
their organizations are the very ones who are
likely to to conspicuous.

expected. They endured the hardships OF the
last few days quite voluntarily and partly at

those OF any other volunteer regiment When
the Olympia's jaokies had shore leave they
headed straight for tho Escolta. and the west
ern Pennsylvanians showed them the town.
The soldiers kept the sailors over night when
1t was necessary. The sailors had the Pennsyl-
vanans out on the Olympia whenever it was
possible. The officers OF the regiment. yearly
all OF them. met Admiral Dewey. and they share
most thoroughly in the universal affection
and respect for him. A very large number Of
the men in the regiment would have paid their
| own way to New York to take part in the
tribute to the Admiral.
