Welcomes Atlantic Fleet with Myriads

Los Angeles has an "Old Glory
shower these days in honor of the COM
ing of the big feet into local waters.
Never in the history of the city has
the American flag been SO prominent
play of the "colors" paleS when COM
pared to the present occasion.
Four thoroughfares stand out among
the city streets when it comes to tell
ing of the decorations.
Hill, Broadway. Spring and Main
blaze with colors.
On Hill street is to be seen one Of the
finest representations Of batleship in
the entire city, located on the roof of
the Los Angeles Gas and Electric COM
pany. Pease Bros, opposite, have a
mast with signal flags on it-a nautical
touch which is effective.
Then, too, there is the display of Ian
terms red colore ribs arching over the
streets, formed by the lines of Japanese
lanters strung across the thoroughfares.
Broadway claims to have a monopoly
on the big garrison flags" These flags
were located at Jacoby's, the Examiner
office and one hung between Bullock's s
store and the Hotel Lankershim.
On the Broadway department store
was a chess board effect, composed of
the alternately placed flags-producing
u SlTlklHB effect.
Here and there Broadway remem~
bers it's own state history and displays
a red, gold and green banner, withthe
date 1871 displayed thereon.
On the Fifth street store is seen the
motto, Welcome, boys" peeping out
fro: behind the mass of colors. Bull
locks department store has a battle
ship composed of handkerchiefs which
attracts much attention. The Times
has huge cannon which is Iit will

Ono of the few displays of greens is
seen over the entrance of the tri-valved
structure of the Lankershim hotel, the
evergreens being frame for the mass
ing of the national colors over the en-
trance way.
Spring street has more variety of
color in it's strings of lanterns over the
street and there are less massed effects
in the decorations. On it's tall build
ings are regiments of small flags,
marching to the roof with futtering
movement
Most striking among the buildings on
this street are Hamburgers, with their
heavy festoonS of closely ranged ma
tional colors, and the Hotel Alexandria.
with the Annapolis blue and gold PEN
nants, with Old Glory draped over the
entrance.
The Los Angeles Furniture company
has :. color scheme in it's decorations
which is carried out in its entirely with

Main street has more color effects
north of First street than the other
streets apparently, the one exception
the huge Pacific Electric building at
Sixth and Main streets, which has
myriads of small American flags thrust
out of its huge f1anks like jets of flame

U. S. WARSHIPS TO CARRY
PEACEMAKERS TO SOUTH
Cruiser Albany May Be Used to Con-
vey Buchanan and Ambas-
sador Creel on
Mission

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. April 1S.-Should the
plans of the American government be
acceptable to Mexico the cruiser Albany
will be utilized to convey Ambassador
Creel and w. /. Buchanan on their mis-
sion of peace and good fellowship to the
five Central American republics.
The Albany will sail from San Fran
cisco Monday next for Salina Cruz, the
southernmost point reached by the
Mexican Central railroad, there to await
the result of arrangements for the
peace mission now under way between
the Mexican and American govern
ments.
The use of a warship was suggested
to convey the peace mission from the
fact that the means of transportation
along the route laid out for the vessels
lis irregular and unsatisfactory.
With the Albany at their disposal, the
commissioners could arrange and an
nounce in advance their itinerary, and
also would be in n position to receive
as well as make official calls and en-
tertain in an appropriate manner the
officials of the Central American coun-
tries.
With the Albany in, use the cruise
would occupy at least two months, but
without some such means of transpor-
tation a much longer time will be re-
ouired to make the calls contemplated.
From the fact that it is stated here
that use of the Albany has not finally
been determined upon, it is deduced
that Mexico has not as yet made re-
sponse to the proposition. Mr.. Buchan-
an is on his way to Mexico, where he
will first visit Ambassador Creel, who
is now in chihuahua in his capacity
OF governor of that state.
