Sharpless explained; and as Philip read

wants, good food. plenty of wine and a
money allowance. Aguinaldo visited
us and shook hands. Three of the boy:

While Aguinaldo only offered to re-
lease the prisoners in Tarlac there is
great disappointment at the fact that

The second day of New York City's
official welcome to Admiral Dewey

" cloud in the sky and the tempera-
lure was just low enough to keep the

sirable points from which to view the

illed with those who were anxious to
have look at Dewey on his way to
City Hall, whether they were to see the
great parade or not.

ton at the city hall of gold loving
cup to the admiral by Mayor Van
Wyck on behalf of the city of New

IHE GREAT LAND PARADE
Fifty thousand Men Marching with
Millions Looking on.
scHLEY COMES AFTER DEWEY,

New York, Oct. 1.-The land parade
capped the climax. The city, state and
nation united in one vast demonstra-
ton worthy of the hero of Manila. Tho
earth trembled beneath the tread OF
$4,000 men and the air was torn With
the shouts of millions.
Walls of people miles long stretched
down the line of march on either side,
o dense, impregnable mass.

ing step, and Sousa's bluecoated band
playing as only it can play, it was a

advancing column with cheers.
After then came the Hero, the admir-
al, and the officers of the fleet in all the
glory of their gold-laced uniforms and
gold-trimmed cooked hats. AL were in
open barOuches.
There is no conceivable kind of noise
the multitude did not make. Every
body waved and cheered and nearly
everybody jumped up and down il
f,.a n11
enthusiastic as boys, and just about as
noisy.
The three adm.rals. Howison, Samp-
son and Philip. as they rode by with
their brilliantly ACQUIRED stats, were
easily recognized and got iattering ap-
plause.
Both Major General Miles and Major
General Merritt got big oyations, but it
was Rear Admiral Schley, who divided
the honors with the central figure of
the day. He received Il demonstration
second only to that of Dewey. Before
he got to Madison square Admiral
Schley was up to his arms in flowers.
The West Point cadets, in their
snowy uniforms of gray with white
duck trousers, moved like one man; 500
legs moving like clockwOrk, every cap
and bayOnet in perfect line.
Before Madison square was reached
Admiral Dewey and the reviewing party
in carriages passed before the front of
the procession and alighted at the re-
viewing stand There for the first time
the admiral saw the great arch Of vic
tory in his honor.
Admiral Dewey reviewed the entire
parade. He was very tired at the end
OF it. 1t had taken just three hours
and twenty-eight minutes to pass. The
first body of the admiral's sailors pass
ed him at 2:12 p. n. The last Ilen in
line went by at $40 p. m.
There were about 600 veterans of the
civil war, and about 200 of these were
Grand Army men. Some wore the
Grand Army uniforms and caps, but the
ma jority were in plain civilian clothes.
The rest of the veterans were Loyal
Legion men. There were several thou
sand veterans of the Spanish war. Most
of them wore their service clothes.

al physical and nervous strain that he
is almost exhausted. Saturdays cere-
monies were the most taxing on his
strength.
