there was, a general exchange of
greetings while tho photographers
plied their vocalic n acrots the tracks.
The Ole of barefooted Filipino soldiers
curiously surveyed the i'e of stalwart
American sentinel -whose phys! jne

LONDON, Sept. 30. -War now eeems
certain, .though the extraordinary de

But it has a doubtful : significance,
when compared with the genuine and
far-reaching (preparations they are
making for hostilities.
The British always Insisting upon sov
ereign power, have practically under
gone no change throughout the entire
negotiations. Every stage has depend

would not back down when the Brit

pressed, he can scarcely do so now

SCHLEY IS LIONIZED
The Tictor of Santiago, and the Hero
of Manila Divide Honors .
A Hard Day.
NEW YORK. Sept. ?0.- The land pa
rade today capped the climax. The
city, state and nation united in a vast
demonstration worthy tne r-ero of Aia
nfla. The earth trembled beneath the
tread of 50,000 men, and the air was
torn with shouts ; of mil Lions. - ; The
naval parade of yesterday was magnifi
cent and superb, but the proud men
of our land and sea forces, the militia
Cf fifteen states and the vete-rana of
the civil and Spantsh-A met lean wars
swelled the procession, and gave It a
dignity in the size that it boasted.
The governors . of the several tfntes.
who rode in carriages, though many
of them were popular rnd would have
received big demoirnr&tStns at any
other time, passed almost ur noticed.
The crowds woulf j have none ..of -.them
today, ; They yearned only for the
brass buttons and gx Id lac e of the
military and naval heroes and would
have nothing elfe. Both Major-Gen-
erals 'Miles and iMerritt received ova
tions, but it was Rear-Admiral Schley
who dlviJed honois with tle central
figure of the day. He, received a de
monstration second cr.ly to that of
Dewey. The people along Vie line of
march fairly rcse &t him, shouting
the-ir already lacerated throats to the
breaking point.--'-:-
"Hurrah for the hero of Santiago,
there is the man who smashed Cer-
vera' fleet: "hip, hip, hurrah f ..r
Schley," and kindred cries came from
all parts of the line.
In upper Fifth avenue some enthus
iastic lady threw hlni a handful of
roses. They landed fairly in the car
riage and the adimral lifted them to
his lips. Inttan tly all ths ladl-s in
the balcony seemed piqued a 1th a de
sire to have their flowers similarly
honored, and he was fairly bombard
ed. Before he got to Madison square.
Admiral Schley was up to his arms In
flowers. Govemcr Roosevelt, at the
head of the national guard, received a
heaity and continuous ovation from
one end o the line to the other.
THE PARADE.
J-Tew York,' Sept. 30. When the pa
rade stat ted today everybHly was
speculating as to the reception of the
Bevei) th New York regiment at "' the-
reviewing stand. It was more cordial
than expected. There was some ; hiss
ing as the regiment passed the stand,
and some derisive calls, but the cheer
ing at th's point was easily the loud
est. At Fifty-ninth ctrcet and Fll th
avenue, the Seventh was kissel. The
people in the Netberland, fcavoy and
Plaza hotels cheered, but the Meses
rose above the chetlng. The members
of the regiment looked neither to the
right nor the left, but marched lcwly
on.
On account of the controversy be
tween the members of the committee
and the head of the G. A. R., over the
place to be given-that organization in
the column, and Commander Kay's
final order to Ms men not to march.
there was much speculation as to
what the unarmed section of the
guard would be like, and how many
men would defy Kay'a mandate. " '
General O .O. Howard, the grixal-id
old veteran that he is, was given a
mighty cheer when he rode past the
admiral at the head of the column.
He bad, all told, about 600 veterans of
the civil war, and about TOO of tnese
were Q. A. K. mee. Some wore the
O J: A. R. ; uniforms end caps, but the
majority were in plain civilian clothes.
One old soldier, too much uM up by
disease to walk, was carried by his
comrades on a hi tie wagon. , He wal
lying at full lerglh a? be passed by
the reviewing stand, but - he ' raised
himself feebly on one arm and nod Jd

review. The admiral's arm was so
weary from the almost constant sa
lute, that, in bidding good bye to his
friends, he sometimes begged leave to
shake hands with his, left hand.

Hi Journey from Now York hai
been a continuous ovation, limited In
its Intensity only by the density of the
pcpulation. The decorate! ' special
train, which left the Pennsylvania
railrfad ferry-slip in Jersey Oty at
I SO o'clock in the afternoon, was fully
in keeping with Its dictingaiih?d pas
senger. It was male up of five cars
the Pencsylvania's pr'xe srecial the
Atlanta dining tar, a combination
smoker, and three pat lor cars for the
accommodation of the WaaMrgton re
cepticn committee. The special was
given a clear track and the run to
Washington was made without a stop,
except at Philadc'pria.
Almost immediately after gcing on
board the train the admiral retired to
his private car for luncheon. There
after the admiral lay down and tried
to get a little sleep, but this was im
possible, owing to the continuous ova
tion along the line.
When the limits cf the District of
Columbia were reached, the committee
presented the admiral with the free
dom of the city. Admiral Dewey's
reply was as brief and characteristic
as all of his other speeches have been:
"f wan to thank you very much, my
friends," he said, "for this testimonial
of your regard. It is true that, as long
as I live, and 1 hope to live a long
time (cheersl. I intend to lire lr. Wash
ington. I thank you again for this
expression. - . -. , . '
- Then dropping tr.e tone of formality
in which this had been uttered, he ex
tended his hands and raid heartily:
"Now I want to see my friends.
Charlie, old boy, how are you? and
he grasped C. C. Glover y the hand
and went through the party, shaking
the hands of all who were within
reach. Dewey was escorted ta the
White Housa and, after meeting thj
prsldent tnd ctblnet, he end the
president viewed the i-arade from the
stand on Pennsyl. ania avenue. It was
9 o'clock when the fatigued recipient
of the day's demrnstra lions reached

LONDON, Oct. 2. No confirmation

tha boers have captured Dundee.
No exceptional activity was shown
at the government offices today.
Chamberlain and (the Earl of Seibourue

Naturally, nothing of the discussion
was male public, but it is understood
that General -.-fruiter will not proceed
for the Cape until nxt week," except
in case of unforeseen developments.
Many members of parliament ar re
turning to town In anticipation of an
early summoning of the house of par
liament. It is tte geiieral exproecion
that, although the speakers may ex
press disapproval of : tho government
policy, few will go to the extreme of
voting against the ttquii td credit. It
is considered mcie probable, they will
abstain from i articipating in a divis

liberal le.vJer, In a speech at Trexegar,
said:
"The first, and last word of these
gold hunters is war, in order to lead
to Annexation."
A cerm pendent wrote to Lord Salis

the rovertiment would make every ef
