Army and Navy VIII Therefore BE
the Guests of the CITY Next Week.
The Admiral VIII Probably Arrive

mittee VIII Take Him i'm Charge

The Programme as 1t Has Been Ar
ranged-Committees That ! Have
Been Appointed.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, commander-in-
chief of the army, VIII be among the
citys distinguished guests next week.
His acceptance Of the invitation extended
him was received yesterday afternoon by
the committee.
The coming of Gen. Miles will be a dis
tinot feature of the celebration Admiral
Dewey is the chief officer in the navy,
and Gen. Miles is the chief in the army.
Having two such distinguished officers Of
both branches of the fighting force Of the
country will be a great attraction.
1t is said that when Gen. Miles, with
Admiral Dewey the other guests Of the
city and the local committeeman, reviews
the military from the stand in the Park
Extension next Wednesday afternoon, the
commanding officer of the army will have
his first experience of this kind with
Southern troops. II is understood that he
has never reviewed troops from the
Southern states, and it should, therefore,
be a consideration with those whom he
will review on this occasion to create
good impression
A meeting of the committee was held
last night at the De Soto. From this day
until the Admiral and the other guests
have come and gone, there will be a plen-
ty for all the committeeman to attend to-
and 10 say that they will be busy would
scarce describe it. There are many things
to be looked after, as arrangements for
such an entertainment rs has been map
ped out are multtudnOus and demand no
end of time and pains
Admiral Dewey and probably, many OF
the other guests will probably arrive Mon
day afternoon or evening. They will not.
be taken in charge by the committees,
however, until the next morning, Tues
day, March q, and the entertainment
proper of the Admiral and other guests
will then commence on Wednesday,
March 81 instead of the 22nd, as reported,
the military parade and review will be
held
First upon the programme of entertain
ment Tuesday morning will be the trip
down the river on the revenue cutter
Hamilton, the quarantine station being
the objective point There an oyster roast
will be enjoyed. 1t is believed that, in
spite of Admiral Deweys familiarity with
the water, that a good time may be shown
him on this trip and that 1t viii not be
among the least pleasant of his recollec-
lions of his visit to Savannah.
H. .s..lxA
the De Soto will be given, and il is ex-
pected that the band of the First Artl-
lery, L. S. A, will then be over from
Sullivan's Island to render the music.
Not only the reception, but a concert viii
be had. Lovers of music will welcome
the opportunity to hear the band for it
will be recalled that military concerts OH
the De Soto veranda are all that could be
asked, the stay of the many volunteer
regiments in Savannah after the Spanish
War having furnished proof of this.
On Wednesday morning there will be
carriage drive around the city, the com
mitteemen taking the guests under their
especial care to show them all the points
of interest. 1t is expected that the drive
VIII be welcomed by both gentlemen and
ladies. II will form an attractive OPEN
ing number for the days entertainment.
The street parade and the review OF the
military in the Park Extension will take
place Wednesday afternoon. 1t is believed
that The pageant will be the greatest ever
witnessed in Savannah save when troops
nave been reviewed in time Of war
The committee that has charge OF the
military end of the celebration reports
Increased chances of many troops coming
Two or three commands at Jacksonville
are considering the trip. The committee
would be pleased to have representatives.
of Florida among the visiting soldiers Ar
engagements are being perfected for the
care of all who come, and no command
that is considering the trip need have any
fear on this score.
well known physician said yesterday
that something should be done by the pro-
fession In Savannah for the entertain.
ment of Surgeon General Wyman of the
Marine Hospital Service. He is among the
guests expected. Several years ago Dr.
Wyman was in the city and was shown
special courtesy by Health officer Brun-
ner and other physicians. 1t is very prob
able that some extra effort will be made
by the medicos in his behalf to make him
enjoy his trip even more than he might
