Tomorrow night the grandest illum-

history Of the city will occur. Tonight
there was preliminary illumination OF
rare beauty. All the buildings ON the

he arrived Tuesday.

and row boats, and they became very
enthusiastic when "colorS" was sound

the decks of the various warships while
half a dozen bands played THE Star
Spangled Banner
After finishing lis correspondence
Admiral Dewey appeared on the quar-
ter deck and paced up and down for
a constitutional. At that time there
was a score of yachts around the flag
ship. People on steamers and yachts
cheered wildly at the first sight of the

in return. According to the weather
bureau, there is bad weather in store
for the naval parade tomorrow.
