THE MONSTER DEWEY NAVAL PARADE.
(DRAWN PFROM A TELEGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT.)
New York, Sept. 30.-The land parade
to-day capped the climax. The city,
state and nation united in a vast dem
onstration worthy of the hero of Ma
nila. The earth trembled beneath the
tread of 50,000 men, and the air was
torn with the shouts of millions. The
naval phrade of yesterday was mag
nificent and superb, but the wonder of
modern times was the great land pa
rade. Thousands of proud men of our
land and sea forces, militia of 15
states and the veterans of the civil and
Spanish-American wars swelled the
procession and gave it the dignity in
size that it boasted in sentiment.
Walls of people miles long stretched
down the line of march on either side,
a dense, impregnable mass. Fifth
avenue from Fifty-ninth street to the
Washington park at Fourth street,
where the parade disbanded, was sol
idly packed with spectators, who over
flowed into -the buildings, windows
and on to the root lines, eat in em
brasures and crowded scaftolding.
Along Broadway, where it crossed the
avenue, the sky scrapera were as
crowded at the top as at the bottom,
and for' blocks down the intersecting
streets, tenabts hung from the win
dows and fire escapes, and mulititudes
of them were on the roofs lying flat
on their stomachs peering down. For
hours they waited patiently and good
naturedly while the procession passed.
Far down this living lane the col
umn marched while the air was gorge
ous with the glare of banners and vi
brating shouts of welcome and admir
ation, the clatter of horses' hoofs when
the cavalry sabers flashed and plumes
waved, the rumble of artillery, the
snarl of drums, the clear drawn bugle
call and the blare of military bands.
Seventeen aerial bombs from the top
of the Waldorf-Astoria heralded the
approach to the reviewing stand in
Madison Square. Several companies of
police, mounted on glossy, well train
ed horses, brought up the procession.
Yells for the Jackies.
When the head of the cdlurnn ap
peared the jackles of the Olympia,
marching rank on rank with an easy
rolling step, and Sousa's blue coated
band playing as only it can play, it
was a poor American whose heart did
not beat higher. Those in the stands
leaped upon their seats and everybody
greeted the advancing column with
cheers. The tars of the Olympia were
in plain blue with brown leggings and
black cartridge boxes, loose flannel
caps flopped over their eyes and their
sword band made a picket of steel over
them. Their caps with the ribbons
snapped jauntily over their temples
and the blue steel sword band, im
pressed the people mightily. The sail
ors were large boned and solemn, with
faces bronzed and bodies that seemed
all muscle-the kind of men one would
like to have back of him in a fight.
The commander was on foot with
sword blade resting on his right should
er, walking in front of his men as
army officers do. A squad of sailors
dragging a rapid fire six pounder
brought up the rear of the Olympia's
battalion. Then came the hero, the
admiral, and the offlcers of the fleet,
-in all the glory of their gold laced uni
forms and gold rimmed cocked hats.
All were in open barouches and at their
head was the man of the hour.
Lifted the Sky.
Mayor Van Wyck sat beside Dewey
in the carriage. The front seat was
banked with beautiful floral pieces.
The crowd did not have to give a sec
ond glance at the man whose features
have been blazoned everywhere for
weeks. He was recognized on the in
stant and cheers and hurrahs that had
greeted the Olympia's men seemed
tame when compared with the shout
they raised. It seemed fairly to lift
the sky. There is no conceivable kind
of noise they did not make. Every
body waved and cheered and nearly
everybody jumped up and down in
frantic enthusiasm. Old men were as
enthusiastic as boys and just about
as noisy. Admiral Dewey. during his
last few days' experience, has become
somewhat accustomed to these vocif
efous greetings and he took it all
cAlmly, smiling and bowing right and
left and occasionally lifting his gold
trimmed beaver (s hat rode along.
The gallant captains of the ships en
gaged in the destruction of MonteJo's
fleet, except poor Gridley, who died
after the battle, followed and aslo
got a rousing welcome.
The three admirals, Howison, Samp
son and Philip, as they rode by with
their brilliantly accoutered staffs,
were easily recognized and got flat
'tll'itl.pplause, as did many of tie
popular officers of the North Atlantic
squadron. The governors of the sev
eral states, who rode in carriages,
'though many of them were popular
and would have received big demon
strations at any other time, passed al
most unnoticed. The crowds would
have none of them to-day. They
yearned only for the brass buttons
and gold lace of military and naval
heroes and would have nothing else.
Both Major General Miles and Major
General Merritt got big oations. The
former wore a band of yellow across
his breast and seemed always to have
his cap off acknowledging the saluta
tions of the throng.
The Hero of Sautiage.
But it was Rear Admiral Schley whoe
divided the honors with the central
figure of the day. He received a de
monatration second only to that for
Dewey. People along the line of march
fairly rose at him, shouting their al
ready lacerated throats to the breaking
point. "Hurrah for the hero of San
tiago," "There is the man that smash
ed Cervera's fleet," "Hip, hip, hip, hur
rah for Schley," and kindred cries came
from all parts of the line. In upper
Fifth avenue some enthusiastic lady
threw him a handful of rc.es. They
landed fairly in the carriage. The ad
miral leaned forward, picked them up
and lifted them to his lips. Instantly
all the ladies in the balcony seemed
piqued with the desire to have their
flowers similarly honored and he was
fairly bombarded. Many of the flowers
fell in the street, only to be caught up
by eager spectators and carried to the
carriage. Before he got to Madison
Square, Admiral Schley was up to his
arms in flowers.
The marines and sailors of the North
Atlantic squadron, eight battalions of
them, attractrd much attention. The
marines, with their brass helmeta,
marched with a peculiar step, neither
