began a procession which did not end
until nightfall.
At the hour when most of the people
of the city were at breakfast, scores o(
men. women and children, cherishing
memories and carrylns armsful of flow
ers, were filing: into the grounds of the
dead. This procession was Informal. The
formal march to the cemetery did not
begin until the sun was hours high.
It was 9 30 o'clock In the morning when
the formal procession was assembled In
front of the old G. A. R. Hall In Penn
slania avenue near Fourteenth street
northwest. This procession was formed
of veterans of the Grand Army of the
Republic, the Army and Navy Union,
nnH th TTniteri Knantsh War Veterans.
'There were but few of the aged men
who fought in the civil war. and their'
step nas feeble and slow.
They marched through the city streets
for a few blocks, but did not think of
marching all the way to Arlington, as
thev did a few vears ago. After the
short street parade the veterans boarded
cars at Thirteenth and B streets north
west and rode to the cemetery In cool
and comfort. At the cemetery the pro
trsMon of veterans was swelled by ad
ditions of members of the Woman's Re
lief Corps. Sons and Daughters of Vete
rans, Indies of the G. A. R.. Legion of
I.oal Women, and other patriotic bodies.
At Tomb of Unknown Dead.
The procession halted at high noon at
the Tomb of the Unknown Dead, and
while the Marine Band played a dirge
the tributes of flowers were placed.
Among the wreaths placed at the Tomb
of the Unknown Dead was one sent by
President 'vi Ilson. After the ceremonies
at this tomb, the Spanish War Veterans
marched to that section of the cemetery
et apart for the dead of the Spanish
War Veterans, and the tombs there
were given their loads of flowers.
When these ceremonies ended, there
was a general rest for a fen minutes.
In which box luncheons were eaten. The
cemetery was alive with visitors and
presented a scene that will live long in
memorj.
Attention centered upon tho amplthe

The crowds began to gather there early.
When Mr. Wilson arrived In his limou
sine, the throngs had overflowed the am
pltheater and were giving work to the
Boj Scouts detailed to police duty with
soldiers and marines
In the ampitheater a huge white can
vas shielded the vast assemblage from
the glare of the sun. The crowd was
Jammed In close order between the white
pillars that rose at regular Intervals
to support the pergola surrounding the
theater. Big American flags were draped
from the masses of green vines that lay
heavy upon the pergolas. The assem

A bugler of the Marine Band sounded

Cuban Mlniater Speaks.
The Fifth Cavalry Band played the Cu
ban national air and Capt. McEUoy
called upon the Cuban Minister. Dr. Car
los Manuel de Cespedes, who said In part:
"I don't know whether to read this
written address, here In my hand, that
I prepared yesterday at the request of J
' tne press, or nncuivi iu aptran iiuiii jn
'heart." The cry was "Speak from the
heart." and the Minister continued: "I
want to express to you, people of the
United States, the undying gratitude and
love of the people of Cuba. It Was only
a few years ago, when we had been
struggling for generations against a
country' that was great in power, that
the United States stepped in and shed
Its blood for us. The United States put
an end to tyranny with an everlastingly
and glorious triumph of liberty In the
western hemisphere."
Maj. Charles F. Cramer, commander-in-chief
of the United Spanish War
Veterans, was the next speaker. He
created mild surprise when he de
clared " 'Remember the Maine' was
the battle cry. This monument stands
today 4n proof that we 'remember the
Maine.' but It Is now seventeen years
since the Maine went to her grave.
In these seventeen years nothing has
been done to place the widows 'of the
Spanish war dead jon the same basis
as the widows of the civil war stand.
But I believe time will remedy this."
ThreVolley IPred.
Patilotic organizations and hundreds of
lay persons gathered In the cemeteries
of the city yesterday to participate In
memorial exercises In honor of departed
comrades and friends. The Inclination to
extend the observance of Memorial Day
beyond the honoring of soldiers of the
civil war and make it apply to all the
dead was more apparent yesterday than
ever.
The ceremonies in each cemetery open
ed with prayer, followed by a patriotic
address by some clergyman or other
prominent citizen and concluded with the
chanting of national anthems and bene
diction. From sunrise, during the cere
monies, and late In the afternoon groups
of relatives assembled .rt the graves,
placing flowers and offering praver
In speaking at services at Congressional
Cemetery, Rev. Francis M. McCoy, of
Waugh M. E. Church, said: "As we
strew with flowers the graves of our be
loved dead, we are hushed Into a calm
consideration of the awful cost Incident
to wrtr and feel that the new and great
problem of our day Is to find a better
way to realize the ends sought in war.
'The patriotism of war Is unquestion

deep devotion that will lay down Its life
for Its friend It was this love of coun

and offer themselves ns a final offering

"We honor the true patriotism of war
as exemplified here, but there lifts be

of peace. This is the measure of the

proud of their martial achievement,

their heroic acceptance of the arbitra

devotion to our common country, until
that devotion burst Into flame in the

under the Stars and Stripes a Lee and a
Fighting Joe Wheeler, and the very

solved to do and die for our common
country."
