which a good view of the parade could

Flags and bunting streamed from

people along the line of march carried
American flags which they waved con.

quarter along Van Ness avenue and
out to the Presidio. Added to the
noise of the whistles was that of clang.
ing bells, the firing of cannon and the
explosion of fireworks. Market street
had been cleared of all traffic and it
was nearly ten o'clock before the head
of the procession turned into that
thoroughfare. Gen. Shafter had pro-
vided IN escort of artillery, and this
body of soldiers, with n band, headed
the procession.
AS the regimental officers of the Ne
hraskans turned into Market street a
mighty cheer was given. The band
came next playing lively airs and then
followed the men, attired in their cam
pafgn uniforms. The soldiers looked
very well as they marched along, and
their %soldicrly appearance brought
forth much favorable comment. The
men We're cheered to the echo as they
proceeded along the line of march, but
the sight of the battle flag of the Ne

thusiasm the spectators could muster.
The hospital corps brought up the
rear of the Nebraska regiment and
seated in the wagons were several
wounded men.
Then came the Utah light artillery.
headed by Maj. Grant. The band fol-
lowed and then came the diminutive
mascot of the Utah boys. a little chap
of perhaps l. years. attired in a uni
form of the regiment and carrying a
silver tla@on. The Utah artillery fol-
lowed and the welcome they received
was fully as demonstrative as that
given the Nebraska boys who had pre-
coded them.

GUNS LOADED WITH DUM-DUMs
Guards ut the Joliet Peniten-
tiary are Armed.

Chicago, July 31.-The Tribune saws:
Every guard on the penitentiary
walls at Joliet is armed with 4 new
Mauser rife. and the rifles are loaded
with "dum-dum' bullets. This bullet
Is the one that was denounced in the
peace conference at The Hague as n
barbarous implement of warfare. II
is the kind of bullet that was found to
be so effective by the British soldiers
in India in their recent encounters
with the rebels. 1t is the same sort
OF p~rojectile that was the subiectofdis-
cussion in the British house of com
mons last week because is was fur
nlshed to the troops to be used against
the Beers in the event of war in the
Transvaal. This is said Il be the first
instance of its use in the United
States. The bullets used at Joliet are
made by an American firm. and they
are described on the labels of the
boxes that contain them as soft nose
bullets" When they are forced into
a body the soft nose flattans and
spreads. and the long proiectile as
sumes the shape of n mushroom.
One of these projectiles makes IA
small hole on entering. but in passing
out ii tears away the flesh and leaves
a ragged wound. sometimes as large
as n mans hand.

DEWEY AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Elaborate Preparations Making for
the Entertainment of the Hero
of Manila Bay.

Washington, July 31.-President Nc.
Kinley will give a reception to Ad-
miral Dewey at the White House wheE
the latter arrives in Washington. Al
first he was in doubt whether a recep-
ton or dinner would be more appro-
pirate, but the former is likely to be
decided on, for the reason hat i:
would be more popular in character,
and would grant to n multitude of
people an opportunity to meet the
naval hero and shake hands with him.
The management of the reception will
BE- very simple, and will differ in no
important respects ron regular af-
fairs of that character at the White
House, except that the admiral will
occupy a place in the line of the re.
ceiving party, the president coming
first, Mrs. Mckinley next and then the
admiral, the Introduction being made
as usual by Col. bingham.
Later on the expectation is that a
dinner will also be given to the ad.
miral at the White House, and this,
following the custom at state dinners
will be Il festivity of some elaborate
ness. The vice-president and Mrs.
Hobart, members of the cabinet and
their wives and some others will be in
yited. For this occasion the guests
will assemble in the east room. and
when dinner is ready Admiral Dewey
will escort Mrs. Kinley into the dining
room, the president following with the
wife of Secretary Hay.
As the guest of honor, the admiral
will sit at the right hand of Mrs. Nc
klnley, the president being directly
opposite to his wife. Between the
president and Mrs. Mckinley vii,

mcnts placed at short intervals. and
that incloSed in each is a chart of the

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the

tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habisual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste. but the medicinal qualities Of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants. by a method

Spanish Generals on Trial for Their
Lives for Refusing to Sncri-
flee Their Comrades.

Madrid, Aug. 2.-The second session
of the court-martial OF Generals Toral
and Pareja, who are charged with sur
rendering Santiago de Cuba to the
Americans without having exhausted
all means of defense, took place yes
terday.
Lacked Food md Medicine.
Gen. Pareja, in his defense, said the
garrison of the city of Santiago de
Cuba lacked food, many of the SCI
diers having died of hunger. Pre-
viCusly. however. he added. the troops
fought brayely, and many officers aGI
men were killed. In addition, the
hospitals lacked medicine.
The general read several kilograms
exchanged between the authorities at
Washington and Maj.-Gen. Shafter. the
latter showing himself confident Of
forcing the surrender OF Santiago de
Cuba.

Gen. TOral made a similar defense.

less, apd that it was impossible to hold
out longer. He read a telegram sent
him by Gen. Blanco, who, after con-
sulting with the authorities at Ma
drid, approved of the capitulation.
Resistance Meant Death.
Another Spanish officer testified that
when he entered Santiago he found
three quarters of the troops sick.
Gen. Rubi gave testimony to the eff
feet that further resistance would
have been equivalent to the death of
the remainder of the troops.
Might Have Been Avoided.
Col. 0rdonneZ testified that he was
blockaded, and therefore did not take
part in the conference where it was
decided to surrender. But he said he
believed all means of resistance had
been exhausted. though perhaps the
capitalization might have been avoided
by an attempt to break through the
enemy's lines. causing much blood
shed. However, the spirit of the
troops was weakened when they lost
all hope of outside help.
Should Have Reinforced Santiago.
Lieut.-Gen. Pando. who was in charge
of the military operations in Cuba,
testified as to his regret that the rec
concentrations made by him before
leaving Santiago had not been acted
upon. as Santiago then had sufficient
ammunition. except for the artillery.
He disapproved the decisions of the
generals at Havana who. he asserted,
to succeed should have reinforced San
tiago.

Neyler as governor general of Cuba,
