The party occupied a train of nine
sleeping cars, four of which were
given over to the troops. Two other
trains loaded with nothing but troops

arrived here an hour before. Behind
him came another train, also loaded
with soldiers, to guard against any
rear movements.
No Cheers On Arrival.

officers from the trains which pre-
viously had arrived lined along the
wharf to get a glimpse of their deposed

handicap. Those at the train side,
as if by agreement, treated the ar
rival of the ex-president as a most
solemn incident.

bloodshed, officials here are exerting
themselves to smooth the way for
