George Dewey could be present on the
anniversary of the battle of Manila
bay, was worthy of the famous victory.
Fully coo, 600 people were gathered along
the line Of march of today's parade, and
for four hours the admiral was busy
bowling Acknowledgements of the cheers
that met him from all sides.
When the parade entered the thickly
crowded streets down town the ad
mial met with his real reception, and
it was most enthusiastic. The cheers
made practically one continuous roar
at many times so loud that it was diff
cult to hear the music Of the hand
which marched ahead of the admirals
carriage. The sidewalks were packed
from curb to walls and every WINDOW
which afforded a sight of the parlde
was filled with as many heads as co aid
be thrust through il. On the tops of
the buildings were other sightseers, and
all Joined IN giving the admiral wei
come which in point of enthusiasm has
never been surpassed by that extended
to any man who has ever been the
guest of the city Of Chicago

Michigan avenue were gathered 800
young women, n number of them clad
in white, being so placed as to spell
the word Dewey AS the carriage
containing the admiral approached their
voices burst forth into See, the Con-
quering Hero Comes and the march
was stopped until the song was fin
ished- The admiral expressed great
pleasure at the singing.
Streets Gaily Decorated.
Naval. military and civic orga niza-
tons followed the carriage carrying the
admiral through miles of streets Geco-
rated with flags and bunting. If the
admiraPs carriage came near enthusi-
astic women threw flowers from the
windows Of high buildings and the sail
ors around his carriage picked up many
bouquets that had missed their mark
and fallen III the street. When there
were no flowers there We're che srs, and
afterwards the flowers and the cheers
came together, moving the admiral to
rise in his carriage and bow his ac-
knOwled gment.

the city the parade was reviewed By
