New York, March 31.-Two vessels. one of which arrived here Wednesday night and the other is expected next Monday or Tuesday, fltly represent the opposite aspects of war. One stands for all the joy, cOngratulation, cheers and meTry-making connected with glorious victory, the other. tor all the sorrow, tears, loss and sacrifice
 connected with wars cruelty. The cruiser Raleigh is approaching, gay with the Stars and Stripes, bringing her hearty tars, aglow with the pride of Dewey's famous naval battle at Manila: the Roumanian crept in with flag at half-mast, bearing more than six hundred corpses of the nations brave soldiers who gave up theIr lives in Cuba and Porto Rico.
 For the one, a motley fleet of vessels will swarm over the bay, blowing whistles, firing guns and flying bunt- ing. Parades by water and by land will follow, where Jack and his ship will have a plethora of escorts. and thousands upon thousands of city folks will press forward, eager to see and to welcome. After that a reception and banquet for the officers and feasting and kissing for the men by many d happy hearth. For those others, heart break of wives, sisters, mothers; bowed heads of men, muff1ed drums. funeral gloom and grave Victory must be paid for.
 The celebration attending the Raleigh's welcome will be an official one. The municipal council has made an appropriation for it. As soon as she is sighted warning will be given, and craft of all kind will carry sightseers down the bay to greet her. Big guns will salute from the forts on shore, lins of parade will be formed and the Ral- eigh will probably be escorted up he North river as far as Grants tomb and N back again.
 It is expected that the land parade up Broadway, which will come next will be on an imposing scale. All the sailors and marines who can be spared from the ship will be in line. Others from the navy yard will join. No naval reserve man is likely to miss such an occasion if he possibly can get there. and the New York crowds can@ be relied on to line both sides of th street and cheer and cheer and cheA as long as the sailor boys can staga another block forward
 When the Roumanian was seen by the Sandy Hook lookout the forts sa- 1,o 1l 4I,.o buildings were placed at half-mast. Many others followed this example, for probably such a freight as hers has never been borne before into any bort in the world. Six hundred and three dead men. who by bullet or dis ease and been buried at onca, far from home. but disinterred by govern those who loved and lost these heroes and are now brought north to find last resting place near the homes they left at their country's call to arms
 There are nearly 1900 more to fol- low this shipload before the sorrowfuI tale is all told and the incident closed.
 
 of the bodies arc wholly beyond iden- tiflcation; and many relatives must be in spite of the govern ment's best efforts. Twelve undertak- CTS and fifty assistants, named by the governors of various states whose reg iments were depleted in Cuba and Porto Rico, were sent south, with as minute descriptions of the dead as the living could give, and these men have worked hard at solving identities: nevertheless fully 50 per cent of the 603 cofins on the Roumanian bear no name
 All are in charge of the superinten- dent of Arlington cemetery and the unidentified will be buried there. One will be erected over them all, and as the army rolls have been carefully kept it will be possible to determine accurately the names of all the unidentified, though impossible to say which body corresponds to each name. All these names therefore will be engraved upon the monument, be- meath which the dead patriots will sleep.
