Mr.. Taft spoke OF men who had dis
tinguished themselves in the civil war.
There was Colonel Noyes. who lost his
leg in the war; he continued. He was

to france and finally Judge Of the superior

now gone to his long reward. Then there

What 1 I'm specially glad to note In this
reunion is that the veterans of the civil
war welcome association with the veterans
Of the Spanish and Philippine wars. 1t is
true that the spoanish war was a very
short one, and that the dangers Of losses
OF men were very small in comparison
with those Of the civil war. Yet It in
volved the same love Of country and the
same spirit OF patriotism on the part OF
those who entered the army for the pur-
pose OF fighting that war that led to the
outpouring OF the volunteers in the civil
war. The same thing is true OF the
Philippine war. The fact that there were
some OF our country men. who opposed
to the Philippine war and who condemned
the government for attempting to suppress
the rebellion and to produce TRANQUILITY.
is sometimes used to disparage the
patriotic feeling and courage of those who
went to those far distant islands to up-
hold the authority and flag OF their coun-
try, under the direction of their com
mander-in-chief.
Work OF Spanish War Soldiers.
"what 1 wish to emphasize here is that
a life lost. or health lost IN that war en-
titled the loser to exactly the same graft
tude that the country feels to those who
lost their lives or their health In the civil
war. They were sacrificing themselves IN
the maintenance of a benign policy on this
country toward the Philippine islands in
insuring for them a higher civilization and
an opportunity to fit themselves for
popular self-government.
Those who went into the war had not

feeling upon a moral issue such as pre-
coded the civil war; but when they were
exposing themselves to the bullets Of the

MELBOURNE. Aug. 2s-The American
Atlantic battle ship fleet. under Of
Rear Admiral Sperry, anchored in Port
Phillip bay this afternoon, after an un-
eventful voyage from Sydney. After pass
ing Port Phillip heads at IL 30 this morning
the ships received a continuous ovation
from the shore and a vast excursion fleet
the entire thirty miles to the anchorage.
The weather was beautiful, a warm sun
shine having taken the place Of the lower
ing clouds which early In the morning
seemed to indicate a dreary day for the
welcoming OF the fleet, for which Melbourne
has made such lavish preparations Craft
of every kind dotted the bay and there was
a constant exchange OF salutes. Sirens
screeched a welcome and cannon doomed
from the decks of the Australian pleasure
craft, while the flags on the visiting craft
were constantly being dipped in answer.
The guns OF the shore batteries and the
ships resounded over the placid waters Of
the bay and were re-echoed by the sur.
rounding hills.

After the imposing progress of the Amer

morning to their anchorage in Hobson's
bay, where they lie white and glistening
off st. Kilda. Admiral Sperry. the COM
mander-in-chief, accompanied by the mem
bers OF his staff, landed at the ST. Kilda
pier at $3.50. The Americans were escorted
to carriages and driven four miles through
the surburbs into Melbourne proper. The
streets were lined with crowds who cheered
the visitors all the way. Reaching the city
boundary they crossed Princess bridge,
which is ornamented with a statue OF
Queen Victoria. over the Yarra into Mel
bourne proper. Here is the beginning Of
the profuse and effective street decorations
in honor OF the Americans. The admiral
proceeded to the continuous cheers OF the
crowd along swanston and Collins streets,
past the town hail to the treasury building,
where he called formally upon the COVER

on behalf of the state cordially welcomed
