Sleeping Cars VIII Not BE Used as
Hotels During the Encnmp-
mcnt Mt Philadelphia.

Chicago, April 1s.-The railroads
have made a new rule for the Grand
Army national encampment in Phila-
delphia mex September. Heretofore i:
has been customary to sidetrack sleep
ing and dining cars and allow them to
be used by the vetrans for sleeping and
eating purposes during an encamp.
ment. The railroads have given notice
that such n custom can not congest
the sidetracks. 1t also appears that the
hotel owners and business men who
contributed largely to meet the ex-
renses of the meeting object to the
s~toring-car arrangements, saying that
it keeps money away from those who
make the encampment possible.

NEITHER HAS WON A VICTORY.
All Three of the we DESTROYS Of
Reaching an Honorable SOIu-

Washington, April 1s.-The secre-
tary of state, in conversation, said hat
neither of the three powers to the
treaty of Berlin has scored a victory in
the arrangement of the Samoan mat
ter, nor suffered defeat. All three of
them were, he believed. actuated by
the same desire to reach n p~eaceable
and honorable solution of a state of
things, which was not only most re-
gretable at this time, but likely, if
neglected, to go rapidly from bad to
worse.

perse With n Knowledge of DUTY
Well Done.

Havana, April 1S.-The last general
order issued by Maj.-Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee to his comamnd, the Seventh
army corps, is in part, as follows:
San order has been received which
moves the last regiment of the Sew
onth army corps across the sea. to be
mustered out of the service of the
United States, and the ranks of its
organization will be forever broken.
The record made by the officers and
men, however, will be forever pre-
served on the pages of the military
history, in which their country will
inscribc their deeds. No troops have
won 4 greater reputation for dis
ripline, drill, manly discharge Of duty,
soldierly conduct and cheerful obedi-
ence to all orders.
The Presidents Assurance.
1.-THE presidents assurance that had
the war with Spain continued, the
selected to lead the assault on the Ha-
vana line, proves that the corps pos
sesed the confidence of the
der-in-chief of the army and navy, a
confidence shared by his fellow oun
trymcn.
1T is gratifying, in reviewing the
career of the corps, to remember the
harmony which has existed between
the 10000 soldiers who answered the
roll call at Tampa, Jacksonville, Sa-
vannah and in Cuba, whether the vol
unteers who afterwards, at various
times, broke ranks and resumed the
duties of citizenship, or the regulars
whose standards. still flying, are now
the advance scntinels of American
progress and civilization.

frances to the piers are closed on Sun
days. But great crowds were assem-
blcd in Riverside park, overlooking the
Hudson, and men, womcn and children
stood there for hours under umbrellas,
watching the vessels on their way up
the river, and on their return.
Ey far the greatest gathering of pco-
pie was in the vicinity of Grants
tomb, which was the turning point Of
the parade. y national salute was fired
there by the Raleigh and also by the
captured Spanish prizes. and the
scene was rendered Il memorable one
by the ShriekiHg of Il hundred steam
whistles from excursion boats and To-
cCmotives and cheers from thousands
of people on shore and on the vessels
in the river.
Mrs. COGhInn Toes Aboard.
Mrs. Coghlan, the wife of the COM
mandcr of the cruiser, arrived at
Ttmpkinsville between nine and ten
o'clock, where she took Il small boat
and went out to the Raleigh. and well
cemed her husband. Capt. Coghlan WIS
appraised early of the intention of the
citizens reception committee to Witt
the Raleigh, and accompany her on the
parade.
Boats of all descriptions continued to
arrive from the city, and each one ran
up as close to the Raleigh as possible
and cheered for her. The two cap
tured Spanish gunboats, the Alvarado
and Sandoval, arrived in the navy
yard early, both dressed gayly with
flags and buntings, and they created
almost as much enthusiasm as the
Raleigh herself.
About II O'Clock the large steamer
Glen Island arrived, carrying the citi-
zens' reception committee, headed by
Mayor Van Wyck, and also having IN
board a number of invited guests. A
delegation from the committee, num-
bering not more than 4 score, went
aboard the Raleigh. All hands OF the
cruiser were called to quarters, and
Mayor Van Wyck and the other COM
mitteemen were received with naval
formality. Capt. Coghlan stood at
the gangway, and received the Wis
itors. and escorted them Immediately
to his cabin. The ceremonies there
were brief, consuming not more than
five minutes. The mayor, in n few
words, welcomed the Raleigh to New
York, extending the freedom of the
city to the officers and men, apollo
gized for the disagreeable weather,
and assured Capt. Coghlan of a hearty
welcome. Capt. Coghlan replied
briefly.
The Parade.
Preparations were made then TO get
under way for the parade. The Ra-
leigh was headed down the stream at
the time, and when she raised her
anchor and swung around slowly the
whistles on all the craft near her
hrieked a salute, and all the people
n the excursion steamers cheered
and waved handkerchiefs and flags.
The Glen Island led the procession of
vessels, and the Raleigh followed Just
astern of her. The Alvarado and San
doval took position off either bow of
the cruiser. and police boats, tugs and

paper received today from Lewis E. Mac

describing visit to Admiral Dewey on
board the Olympia, at Naples, August 6.
Mr.. MacBrayne says after describing an
audience of an hour which he had with
the Admiral in his cabin:
"Admiral Dewey was quoted when in
Austria as saving that our next war would
be with Germany He dld not say that.
He said that if the next war was with
Germany it would be started l,y the Ger
mans, and not by the Americans, but he
does not believe that there will be such a
wer.
"The people have been saying all along
that Admiral Dewey is genial, good
hearted American, and it is all true. His
face is very handsome, for it has great
strength, and its rich, bronzed color to-
day, set Of by his spotless white uniform,
tells of perfect recovery from the strain
of the exacting duties of the past year. :"
