NEW YORK, Sept S0..-The land pa
rade today capped the Dewey climax
The city, state and nation united in one
vast demonstration worthy of the hero
OF Manila. The earth trembled beneath
the tread of 5O,0UO men, and the air was
warm with the shouts of millions The
naval parade of yesterday was a mag.
nifcent and superb spectacle, but the
wonder of modern times was the great
land parade. Thousands of proud men
Of the land and sea forces militia of ten
states, and the veterans of the Civil war
and Spanish-American wars, sweled the
procession, and gave 1t the dignity IN
size that it held in sentiment. There was
stretched down the line Of parade on
either side a dense impenetrable mass Of
people, who over1owed into the buildings,
windows and onto the roofs, sat in en-
brasures and crowded scarfolding At
Broadway, where it crosses Fifth avenue,
the skyscrapers were a crowded at the
top as at the bottom, and for blocks
down the intersecting streets tenants
hurg from the windows and fire escapes,
end multtudes of them were on the roofs,
lying fly, peering over. The crowd waited
good naturedly to see Dewey, and when
they saw him they waited or uncon-
sciously for three hours and half whiie
the procession passed.
Far down this living lane the column
marched, while the buildings were gor-
geous with flags and bunting, and the
air vibrating with the shouts of well
come and cheers. The cavalry sabers
flashed in salute, the guns and artillery
rumbled by, and the bands played as
they passed along.

stands leaped upon their seats, and every
body greeted the advancing column with
cheers. The sailors of the Olympic were
in plain blue, with brown leggings. loose
flannel caps fiapped over their eyes, and
their sword band made a picket of steel
over them. Those caps, with ribbons
snapping jauntily over their temples. and
the blue steel sword, impressed the people
] nightly. The sailors were tall. large

and down in frantic enthusiasm. Old

just about as noisy Admiral Dewey,
during his last few days experience, has
become somewhat accustomed to these
vociferous greetings, and he took it all
calmly, smiling and bowling right and
lett, and occasionally lifting his gold
trimmed beaver as he rode along The
gallant captains of the ships engaged in
the destruction of Monetjo's fleet, ex-
Ccpt poor Gridley, who died a month aft
er the battle, followed, and each got a
roIsing welcome
The three admirals, Howison, Sampson
and Philip, as they rode by with their
brilliantly accoutred stats, were easily
recognized and got fiatterng applause,
as ala many OIL the stair officers of the
North Atlantic squadron
The governors of the several states,
who rode in carriages, though many of
them were popular and would have re-
cetved big demonstrations at any other
time, passed unnoticed. The crowd had
eyes for them. They yearned and
yearned only for the brass buttons of
the navy and army and nothing else.
Both Maj. Gen. Miles and Maj. Gen Mer-
ritt got ovations. The former seemed al.
ways to have his cap off acknowledging
the salutations of the throng.
OVATION FOR sCHLFEY.
But it was Rear Admiral Schley who
divided the honors with the central figure
of the day. He received demonstrations
second only to that of Dewey. People
along the line of march fairly roared at
him, straining their already bursting
throats to the breaking point.
"Hurrah for the hero of Santiago"
There is the man who soaked Cervera's
fleet Hip, hip, hurrah for Schley," and
kindred cries. came from all parts of the
line Up Fifth avenue scme enthusiastic
lady threw him handful of roses. They
landed fairly IN the carriage. The rear

and lifted them to his lips Instantly
some ladies in the balconies were inn
