procession Of his Spanish war comrades
yesterday afternoon. an inquiry was made
by a representative OF The Star today as
to the reasons. 1t was stated on the best
of authority that the question came up as
to whether the President would review the

would give a reception. at which he would
shake hands with each man. and that this
would be all the time he would be able to

disappointment among the veterans until
they learned the reason.
