HONORS TO DEWEY AND SCHLET.
Admiral Dewey, the hero of Manila,
received unusual but well-deserved
honors from the citizens Of New York,
last week. On Friday there was a
splendid parade of warshiDs and other
craft, miles in length, which proceed
ed from Tompkinsville to the tomb of
General Grant. The Olympia, the
Admirars flagship, led the procession.
1t is estimated that there were more
than a million and a half visitors in
the city. At night the harbor, the
city and tine shores for miles around
were brilliantly Illuminated. The
entire spectacle was magnificent and
nothing approaching it has ever be
fore been seen in this country.
The land parade took place Satur-
day. 1t was great demonstration,
composed Of $4,000 men in uniform,
including soldiers and sailors-nilitia
from Is States, and veterans of the
Civil and the Spanish war. A magni-
ficent loving cup was presented to
Dewey by the city of New York. The
presentation was made by Mayor Van
Wyck on a platform in front of the
City Hall. Rear-Admiral Schley was
among those on the platform, and as
the two foremost heroes of the war ex-
changed greetings cheer after cheer
rose up for Dewey and Schley."
The parade set out from Grants
tomb, and near the front, preceded
by battalion of his gallant sailors
from the Olympia, Admiral Dewey
rode in carriage with the Mayor of
New York. AS the procession moved
along there were constant cheers for
Dewey. The hero of the hour took it
calmly and occasionally lifted his
gold.trimmed beaver as he rode along.
All of the captains who took part in
| the battle of Manila followed, except
Captain Gridley, who died a month
ison, Sampson and Philip were recog-
nized and applauded, but the demon
stration to Rear-Admiral Schley was
| almost equal to that given to Dewey.
As Schley passed under the triumphal
arch the %, 900 people assembled there
were seized with a sudden mania.
| The people on the stand rose to their
feet and 10000 flags were waved in his
| honor. From the roof of the Fifth
| Avenue Hotel roses were showered on
his carriage and the pathway of his
horses was strewn with flowers. All
| along the route the hero of Santiago
was wildly cheered, and it was evident
that the people regard him as the man
| entitled to the honor for sinking Ger,
vera's fleet.
"Hurrah for the hero of Santigo -
"There is the man that smashed Ger,
vera's fleetn' Hip, hip, hurrah for
Schley" came from all parts of the
line.
Admiral Dewey alighted at the re,
| viewing stand, Madison Square, in
view Of the great arch of victory
erected in his honor. From this point
he reviewed the entire parade. The
Admiral was almost overcome by his
| exertions and was obliged to omit
other attentions intended to do him
honor.
The Fourth and Fifth Maryland
Regiments were viewed with great
favor and were heartily cheered as
they marched with perfect step and
alignment. their gray uniforms and
the strains of Dixie" my Mary
land" and Bonnie Blue Flag
played by their band, harmonizing in
color and sentiment.
On Monday Admiral Dewey pro-
ceeded to Washington, on a special
fast train. Thousands of people
gathered at Biddle street and Union
stations to get a peep at him and were
rewarded by the Admiral coming out
on the rear platform and waving his
hat to the crowd. All along the route.
! indeed, crowds were assembled to
greet the nations hero. Upon arriv-
ing at Washington he was escorted
through gorgeously decorated streets
to the White House, where he was
warmly welcomed by President Nc
Kinley. From the White House the
| President, Admiral Dewey and others
went to the reviewing stand on Penn
sylvania avenue where they reviewed
agrand civic parade. Admiral Dewey
was the guest of Mrs. Washington
Mclean, mother of John R. Mclean,
the Democratic candidate for Cover
nor of Ohio, who gave up her entire
establishment to the Admiral.
On Tuesday splendid sword, voted
by Congress, was presented to Ad-
fniral Dewey, on a stand near the
Capitol. Secretary Long made an
address and when Dewey arose to re-
ceive the sword from the hands of
President Mckinley his eyes were
filed with tears. In Washington as
in New York Rear-Admiral Schley,
while modestly endeavoring to keep in
the background, received almost AS
great an ovation as Dewey. The
people plainly showed that they re-
garded Dewey and Schley the most
notable heroes of the Spanish war.
Troop A, of Baltimore enunty, was
honored with u place in the parade
Immediately in the rear of the regular
