Jackets from the Newark landed at the
Government wharf and formed in
marching order on East street. Head
ed by a platoon of mounted police the
parade moved toward the ferry depot,
the men of the navy keeping perfect
step to the Hip hip! hip"' of the Of
ficers and the music of the bugle calls.
At Market street they were met by a
band, but the soldiers of the Califor-
MIA regiment, who were to have been
there TO act as an escort had forgotten
their appointment, and the procession
went on without them. All along the
line of march the boys OF the Boston
were Cheered, and the booming of can
non and the sizzling Of rockets added
noise to the greeting.
Those men who fought with Dewey
are a sturdy looking crowd. They trod
the cobbles and the bitumen like vet
Grams. The people that lined the streets
TO get a glimpse of them felt amply re-
Warded.
All along the line the absence Of the
Californians was commented upon. The
throngs expected to get one more look
at their own fighters, and their disap-
pointment was not concealed.
AS the parade passed by the multi
tudes did not rush in and follow in the
wake They were so surprised at the
brevity of the turnout that they did
nor fully realize that It was all over
until the rear was fully a block away.
Henry McPiSe, the secretary Of the
citizens executive committee, which
arranged the entertainment for the
visitors, also lost the procession and
drove wildly UP and down the street
on top Of hack trying TO locate it.
The men marched out Market street
TO Powell, where they countermarched
to Third and went down Third TO the
Grand Opera house. Most of the build

SENTENCED TO DEATH.
Private Thomas McVeigh Of
the Wyoming Regiment Is
Brought Home for
Execution

There is one man aboard the transport
Grant in whose homecoming there is no
joy He is Thomas McVeigh of the Wy
/ omings, and is under sentence of death
for assaulting his superior officer. The
sentence has to be approved by the Pres
1dent, so McVeigh was sent from Manila
| in irons. The chances are that the find
ings of the court martial will be reviewed
and President Mckinley Will commute the
sentence TO a term of imprisonment.
McVeigh is Classed as an incorrigible
by his officers. He was born in New York
thirty years ago and early in his career
enlisted in the regular army. He got into
trouble and was dishonorably discharged.
When the war broke out he was in Chey-
enne and Joined the Wyoming regiment
when it was mustered into the service.
When the regiment was in camp at the
Preside McVeigh was in trouble again.
He got into a row with cOmrade named
William Ferris and stabbed him. For this
he was arrested and tried before Judge
Conlan. None of his comrades would tes-
tify against him and in consequence he
got off and was sent aboard the transport,
which was ready to sail for Manila.
On November 16, 1898, McVeigh was in
trouble again. The non-CommisSioned Of
ficer of the guard gave him an order and
he refused to obey. He was ordered again
and he knocked the non-cOm down. For
this he got three months Imprisonment in
While he was in Jail Mcveigh conceived
a great hatred for Captain d. G.
Wrighter. After ne was liberated ne lay
in wait for the captain and met him as
he was returning to camp from the
trenches. I'VE met on the roadway"
said Captain Wrighter last night, "and
McVeigh stopped me with the remark:
I've had it in for you for long time:
Now I'm going to take it out of you I
asked him if he knew what he was doing
and he answered me: Yes, 1 know id
well. I'm going to take the chances
Either you'll lick me or I'll lick you.

ouences would be very serious and with

With that l drew my revolver and said I

McVeigh is now aboard the Grant and
will be sent to the military prison as soon
as the transport docks.

SERGEANT P. w. CORBUSIER
HAS PLUCK AND AMBITION

wv injury is the novel and inter-
" " esting record borne by First
Sergeant P. w. Corbusier of
Troop c, Fourth United
States Cavalry He is now
with his command in the Philippines
and is winning fame for himself by
reason Of his grit and dauntless cour-
age. Although the term of his enlist
ment is nearly up he has vowed not to
return home until epaulets surmount
his shoulders.
Sergeant Corbusier was once a stu
dent at Stanford and then at the Uni
versity of California. He entered the
latter institution for the express pur-
pose of obtaining military training In
May. 1898, he enlisted in the troop in
which he has risen to the highest posi-
ton to be attained by a non-commis-
stoned officer. The plucky Californians
ambition is to rise even higher, and
he is studying with that end in view.
He is a son of Major William H
Corbusier. medical purveyor of Manila.
The latter was appointed from Califor-
mia shortly after the civil war and has
been in the service ever since. DR..
Corbusier enjoys the distinction of be-
ing probably the only officer in the
army who has had three sons bearing
arms at one time. 1t was he who origi-
mated the idea that each soldier should
have an Identification tag, and the
plan was adopted by the Red Cross
Society.
Another son to see service in Manila
was f. C. Corbusier. When the Cali
fornia regiment was being organized
