DETROIT, Mich, June 9.-Detroiters to-
oay had the satisfaction of seeing Admiral

is commonly pictured, for on this occa-
sion the admiral appeared on the bridge of
the steamer Tashmoo wearing silk hat

for the marine parade; the admiral was
right at home in it. and his face gowed
with gratitude from his high point of
vantage he looked over the floating pageant
lined up in his honor.
Admiral and Mrs. Dewey were driven to
the wharf at . am. a platoon of mounted
police cantering ahead clearing a path
through the usual assembled crowds. The
steamer Tashmoo. the largest and fastest
excursion craft on the lakes, made her
maiden trip the flagship of Dewey. There
was a roar of cheers along the dock when
the admiral ascended to the bridge and ex-
changed salutes with the captain, and as
the admiraIS four-Starred blue nag rose
to the masthead the enthusiasm was in
tensifed. Mrs. Dewey stood beside her nus
band.
AS the Tashmoo swung out and took her
place at the head of the line and the parade
moved forward. an admirals salute of sew
enteen guns was fired by the United States
ship Michigan. Then a chorus of whistles
arose from shore and river, the Canadian
side joining heartily in the demonstration
with many British flags waving in Deweys
honor. Cannon salutes We're fired on the
Walkerville, Canada shore. and responded
to by the flagship and the admiral. Fol-
lowing the Tashmoo We're the Michigan and
the revenue cutter FeSsenden. tagged out
from bowsprit to stern post; the procession
of steam yachts which followed were all
similarly attired, and the loaded excursion
steamers which came last, carried their
best attire. The parade proceeded across
Lake St. Claire, saluted by everything
aioat en- route. and returned in the same
order.
The land parade starts at p.m.

Battle Ship. at Fort Monroe.

The battle ships Indiana and Massachu-
sets arrived at Fort Monroe today, and be-
gan at once to take on coal. The ships
might have made better time down from
Philadelphia, but proceeded with caution
over the shallow places in the Delaware
The ships had about $50 tons of coal each
aboard when they sailed from Philadelphia,
about half their capacity so that they can
fill their bunkers in Hampton Roads and
be off by tomorrow.
The historical Hartford, now lying at
League Island, has been ordered to Boston,
to be docked and repaired. Capt. Hawley,
her commander. came over by rail from
Philadelphia this morning to talk with the
naval officials about the future movements
of his ship. He has given up the larger
portion of his crew to furnish crews for the
Indiana and Massachusetts. SO it will be
necessary for him to recruit a lot Of green
landsmen at Tompkinsville and break them
in before he can make ready for another
cruise. Then the Hartford will probably
go to Europe, possibly in time to visit
Havre before the Paris exposition is at an
end

HAVANA NEWSPAPER sUsPENDs.
The Patria, Organ of the Republican
Party, for Sale.


HAVANA, June 9.-The Patria, organ Of
the republican party, has suspended pub
lfcation and its plant is on sale.
The union democratic party, formerly
pro-American, has been bitterly assailed
by the other parties in Cuba and is now
fast losing its members, who are joining
the national union, and they are now en-
deavoring to make capital by abusing
everything done by the Americans. They
first asked for a minority representative,
and when this was obtained they COM
planned it was not sufficient, and said they
would not vote this election, claiming only
the rabble Is represented.
Gen. Gomez says he regrets that more
than one party should have been formed.
1t is practically impossible now, however.
he says, to unite them, as each has Its owa
interests. Nevertheless, as long as a
party is striking for independence he looks
upon it with favor.
AS regards the union democratic party
the general said the party claims to be
working in good faith. The future. how
ever, may have some surprises in store.
Those at the head of a party Of Cubans
should not injure or harass others nor take
any notice of what they say.
that the election of a mayor should be made
a national question, whereas 1t really was
one of local administration.

ed lack of patronage of the Brooklyn
team, that the Brooklyns have taken In
more money up to this date than wash

in the history of the league. Still, he
added, Il have no doubt that with team
like the Brooklyns this ,Gitys patronage of
the game would treble.'

BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION,

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to is a bona-fide one.
1t is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell it's legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-
tisers, by sending out thousands Of
papers to newsstands which are re-
turnable, and which are, in fact, re-
turned, but nevertheless are in
cIuded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however,
judge by results, and bogus circula-
tions don't give them.
The family circulation of The Star
