A Magnificent Naval Parade Followed Tty a Brilliant Display of Firework A I-aml . Parade Which Kurpnssetl Everything- ol the Kind. Ever Attempted l'resentatlon of Flag and Golden Cup. NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-The two days reception to Admiral Dewey has ended and will go down In history as one of the greatest honors ever be stowed (ipon one individual. The great naval parade, headed by the powerful warships and composed of over a thou sand vessels made the grandest water spectacle ever witnessed. It took over three hqjtrs for the war vessels to pass p East river to Riverside park, where they came to anchor and reviewed the almost endless procession of craft that steamed by. Probably not less than 3,000,000 people saw this magnificent spectacle from the shores of the river and fully 600,000 more were on board of the various vessels. New York has never witnessed before anything ap proaching this wonderful remarkable navajl dmonstritKin. The Columbian naval parade, the dedication of Grant's COLD DEWEY CUP. tomb and the reception of the North Atlantic squadron last fall all pale be fore the gigantic ovation to the sailor who, In a single morning, destroyed an enemy's fleet without the loss of a man or a ship. At night the fireworks set oft. Never before in Its history has this city ever wltnesesd a greater pyrotechnic and electrical display than that which took place In the harbor and waters sur rounding the Island of Manhattan. No more picturesque spectacle has ever been presented to so large a concourse, gathered on both shores of the river, as that of the great hulks of the battle ehlps of Dewey's fleet Bllhouetted against the dark background of the sky and shining resplendently from stem to stern with myriads of Incandes cent lights, while all around innumber able brilliantly decorated yachts and other river craft honored the nation's hero. Crowds occupied every point of vant age along the New York shore, from Grant's tomb to Fifty-ninth street. From the bay the letters on the Brooklyn bridge, "Welcome Dewey," were plainly vlelble and were one of the features of the celebration. Admiral Dewey viewed the display from the flagship Olympla for several hours and ihen retired, being fatigued by the day's events. Notwithstanding these two great events it was the land parade that capped the climax and was the wonder of modern times. The earth trembled beneath the tread of 50,000 men, and the air was torn with the shouts of mil lions of voices. Thousands of proud men of our land and sea forces, mili tia of 15 states and the veterans of the civil and Spanish-American wars welled the procession and gave It the dignity In size that it boasted in senti ment. Admiral Dewey with Mayor Van Wyck rode at the head of the proces sion to the reviewing stand where for nearly five hours they remained and saw the various bodies march by. Every man, woman and child of those 6,000,000 or more who saw Dewey ride. by" will cherish that sight as their richest legacy. That mighty pageant Itself was as but a pigmy to the people as compared to the one co lossal figure of the hero a figure but five and a half feet high but mlghter to the throngs which lined his path than all those 35,000 men In red and blue, and gold and glitter. New York has never seen a pageant its equal,' a tribute to living or to the memory of the dead, to compare with it. There have been occasions of pomp and ceremony" here before this, but Dewey Day, as September 30 will ever be known, Is unique. Nothing has ever occurred with which it can be rightly compared. One of the events of the reception was the presentation to Admiral Dewey by Mayor Van Wyck of New York of the city's golden loving cup. It is a mag nificent and artistic piece of work, made by Tiffany and cost $5,000. Another event was the presentation to Admiral Dewey of the first admiral's flag made for and floated by Admiral Farragut. This was presented to him !y a committee from Washington. DEWEY IN WASHINGTON. A Ureat Tribnte l'ald to the Home-Corn-iug of the Admiral. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. The home coming of Admiral Dewey for hence forth the national capital Is to be his home was made the occasion for the greatest tribute ever paid by Washing, ton to any Individual. The citizens had made every preparation to make the occasion worthy of their hero. The decorations were elaborate. Pennsyl vania avenue was one mass of colored bunting along the entire line of march from the station to the. White House and few private citizens failed to make some display of color on their resi dences. Unique designs in fairy lamps dotted the horizon; great searchlights threw broad beams of brlgh light across the blue sky of a clear October evening and the stately Capitol stood revealed In all lis queenly beauty In the powerful rays of many concentrat ed lights.- The same device was used effectively in the case of other public buildings within the range of vision of Admiral Dewey and the president a they reviewed the great throng of peo ple from the prow of the White Olym pla, projecting from the stand at the head of Pennsylvania avenue, where on stood Dewey, the central figure of the demonstration. On the facade of the newly complet ed general postoffice building flamed iorth two Inscriptions set in electric potata. fhe one reciting the famous message of the president directing Dewey, then thousands of miles away In the Far East, to go forth to destroy the Spanish fleet, and the other setting out the famous admiral's direction to the lamented Grldley, "You may fire when you are ready, Grldley," which marked an epoch in the history of the United States. Twelve thousand members of civic organizations paraded before him be sides tens of thousands of non-organized citizens and in a roar of cannon, rockets and the blaze red Are and the thunderous cheering of the populace, and the war greeting of the head ol the nation, Dewey came to the Na tional Capitol to a welcome such as has not been known here hitherto. The admiral's 'ourney here from New York had been one continuous ovation. Five Great Crowd In New York. NEW YORK, Sept JO. Five great crowds has New York seen in days gone by. They have been estimated as follows: 1885, General Grant's funeral, 600,000 persons; 1889, Washington's cen tennial, 1,000,000; 1892; Columbian pa rade, 800,000; 1897, Grant day, 1,000,000; 1899, Dewey celebration. 2,500,000. PREPARING FOR BATTLE. Orauge Free State Artillery at Vollurtut, Close to the Natal Border. LONDON, Oct. S. Advices from Cape Town say a dispatch received .there from Charlestown, Natal, announces that 80 members of the Orange Free State artillery with six guns, have ar rived at Volksrust, a point In the Transvaal, close to the Natal border, and that a marquee has been erected by the hospital authorities. The officials at Charlestown have received a telegram from the colonial secretary in answer to an inquiry. In structing them to remain absolutely still and offer no resistance. No women have been left in Volksrust and the na tives are leaving Charlestown. The officials still remain but are ready to leave at a moment's notice. General Joubert, the vice president of the South African republic, and commander-in-chief of the Transvaal forces, has arrived at Volksrust and his presence there will probably have a calming effect. The advices from Johannesburg say no commandeering took place there Saturday. They add that many of the Boers are anxious to leave and that many of the young men are forming corps of civilian police and are acting In conjunction with the merchants' as sociation. The town is quiet. The merchants' committee announces that British subjects under a permit, will be allowed to remain and that consu lar letters and passpotts will be ac cepted If the persons presenting them are of good character. Portugal' Position. MADRID, Oct. 3. El Liberal declares that Spain cannot remain indifferent to the events transpiring In the Transvaal In view of the existence of the Anglo Portuguese treaty, by the terms of which in the event of Great Britain be coming engaged in a war with another power, Portugal is obliged to mobilize 100,000 men, and allow Great Britain to use her forts and arsenals. El Liberal follows up this extraordi nary assertion with the statement that Portugal will cede Great Brltan Lour enzo Marquez, on the north side of Del agoa bay, and Mozambique, on the east coast of Africa, and calls on the gov ernment to take discreet measures in the interest of Spain. Would Not Interfere NEW YORK, Oct. 3. Charles D. Pierce, consul general of the Orange Free State, received a cablegram rela tive to affairs in the Transvaal. Con sul Pierce said that the cable was of such a nature that he could not make It public, but he was at liberty to say that the president of the Orange Free State had made an ineffectual effort to Induce President McKlnley to re quest other powerful nations to act with the United States as arbitrators between England and the Transvaal. Mr. Pierce said that the warm and close relations between Treat Britain and the United States prevented Pres ident McKlnley moving in so mo mentous a matter. ENEMY DRIVET OFF.

Fifteen of the PaMengers, All Wrnntn and Children, Were Drowned Two Hun dred and Fifty RuivHor ou the Itareu Rock For Four Day Looting and Rob bery Ily the Crew. MONTREAL, Sept. 30. Two hun dred and fifty scantily clad, baggage bereft men, women and children were on board of the- Intercolonial specie I which steamed into Bonaventure depot. They comprised, the greater number of those who sailed from Liverpool on Sept 14 on board the steamship Scots man, bound for Montreal, who were wrecked on the shores of the straits of Belle Isle at 2:30 on the morning of the 21st. It was not only a tale of shipwreck that they had to tell, but one of death, of suffering and pillage. For 15 at least of the Scotman's passengers per ished; all suffered cruelly from cold and privation and almost the worst horror of all, the men who were sup posed to succor and assist those com mitted to their care, In the hour of need, turned on the helpless passen gers and with loaded guns and re volvers, compelled them to part with the few valuables saved. Captain Skirmshlre and his officers were noble exceptions. The passen gers ascribe to them the role of he roes. For the honor of the British merchant marine the crime may not be ascribed to the men engaged in It, but to a gang of wharf rats and hangers-on, picked up In the docks at Liv erpool, to replace the usual crew of the Scotsman, which joined the seamans strike on the other side. All of the passengers who per lFhed were women. This is accounted for by the fact that they were the oc cupants of the first boat which left the steamer after she struck, and which was swemped before It could get clear of the ship. The Scotsman sailed from Liverpool on Sept. 14. The passage of the Straits of Belle Isle was a fair one, though the green crew In the stoke hole lessened the speed of the ship, so that when she reached Belle Isle she was about a day's run behind her usual average. Entering the Straits of Belle Isle on Thursday night a dense fog blanketed down on the vessel and made naviga tion a matter of great caution at all times in the straits a precarious un dertaking. The speed of the ship was reduced and she felt her way in. At 2 o'clock there was a shock underneath the ketl of the vessel, followed by an other and another. The passengers were asleep in their berths, and all were awakened by the shocks. On deck the thick bank of fog shut out the sight of shore. Papsengers ran hither and thither, but Captain Skrlm shlre and his officers went among them, calming their fears. 'A superficial ex amination of the ship told the captain that she would be a total wreck and that she must be abandoned at once. A port lifeboat was lowered and in this many cf the women and children were placed. Hardly was it clear of the ship when it capsized, throwing Its occu pants into the water. Those who per ished were in this boat. Some were saved, for the ship had listed to port and several ladles were washed back on to the deck. One lady clung to a rope for two hours before being res cued. The skin was torn from her hands. Meanwhile disgraceful scenes were being enacted on board. Hardly had the vesel struck before men from the stoke hole rushed to the cabins, and, slitting open valises and bags, with their knives, took all the valuables they could lay hands on. Several of them fired shotguns and tried to force men to leave the cabins. It Is said that some of the steerage passengers Joined the firemen in loot ing the baggage of the first class pas sengers. In more than one instance rings were torn from the fingers of fainting and dying women. Captain Skrlmshlre and his officers, busy In caring for the saftey of the passengers, had no time to Interfere with the van dals. Many of the passengers suffered from the exposure. After much diffi culty some overcoats and shawls were secured for the women, nearly overyone of whom had left the ship in their night clothes. The passengers were obliged to climb up a rocky cliff nearly 300 feet high, before they could find a place large enough to rest Here they stayed on the bare rock for four days and nights. The first night they had absolutely no shelter, but on Saturday the captain sent up some tarpaulins and blankets. These were very acceptable, as t had rained hard all night and was most bitterly cold. A number of the passengers attempt ed to reach the lighthouse, which was eight miles away, as the crow flies. To do this It was necessary to climb about 1,200 feet higher before a practicable path could be reached, and there the difficulties had only begun. The path Is rocky and uneven and Is crossed by hugh cllfts and gullies which were very deep. Altogether the distance by land must have been over 16 miles, and one gentleman took 11 hours to reach It, and only rested half an hour on the way. It was not until the 26th that the Montfort came along and was sig nalled by the Belle Isle lighthouse. A number of the Scotsman's passengers had walked there from the wreck. eight miles, as the crow flies, but nearly 10 by the road. After bringing these people on board the ship, she proceeded to where the Scotsman lay. The weath er was bright and clear. As soon as practicable the boats were launched and the work began.
