Most Wonderful Marine Display Ever Witnessed on Western Waters, If Anywhere. NEW YORK HARBOR A JAM OF VESSELS. A Dissolving View of Gloat Beauty— Sinuous Marine Monster—Millions of Spectators—A Threatened Storm Passes By—Sainted Grant’s Tomb —The Review and Return. New York, Sept. 30.—The naval parade from the vantage points of the war ships was an immense marine picture, a water pageant with so little of incident compared with its great size, tl.at it appealed to the eye as a painting rather than a drama.

A Dissolving View Ptetore. The vast gathering of water craft maintained a speed of eight knots? but so inagnificant was its area that the impression was one of exceedingly slow and stately movement. The picture was continually changing, but it melttd so steadily and in such measured rythm from form to form that the sense of motion was largely lose. It started under a brilliant sky, passed at the nmuth of the Hudson through the tlufoat of an ugly storm and emerged a rainbow arch that stretched from s\ore to shore into a clear and brilliantjsunset at the Grant tomb. A Busy. Night. The night had been a busy one in the fleet of war ships ofE Tonvkinsville. The last details of the day's ceremony were hardly settled before the day itself broke on a scene of greater activity than th£ classic anchorage had everwitnessed before. Compared With Phillip's Armada. , The great vessels of the White squadron swung at *their anchorage vs :or the past two days, but the crowd of neighboring craft had been swelled, past counting. As far ns could be seen the water was a mass of mooring steamera, From Stapleton across the wide reach of the harbor to the Ibis basin and from the flattery to the I Narrows the water was alive. It was a modern armada against which the armada launched by l’hillip of Spain would have seemed a child’s toy. It was a moving, shifting picture of tugs, police boqts, fire boats; torpedo boats, yachts, launches, tramp steamers and ocean liners and sailing craft of every rig. with big ferry ana excursion boats ploughing their way through the ruck in mysterious paths that opened before them and closed again behind them like the ice of an Arctic floe. The Only Stable Points. The only stable points in the scene at that early hour were the war ships. They lay like a great white grounded berg about-which the pack ice turned and swirled, without moving. them from their moorings. It was a morning of repressed excitement on board the New York and .the other ships behind the Olympia. Everything had been cleaned and burnished from ram to rudder. A Bable of Steam Whistles. Noon was ushered in with a scream of whistles that sounded like ten thousand craft; The serenade lasted five minutes, during which enough steam was wasted to have run an ocean liner to the Azores. The last far-away echo had hardly drifted back from the Staten Island hills when a sudden impulse seeifPed to seize the far-reaching mass of tugs and other craft. Instead of drifting idly round and round the war ships, like chips in an eddy, they began ta steam away to the south in parallel lines as though the same currents were bearing them out to sea. But as they vanished in scores toward the Narrows there were hundreds more that swept down from up the harbor. Then there was a scurrying home of the white-hooded steam cutters of the war ships. The great boat cranes amidships reached down their grappling hooks and whisked the pinnaces aboard.

The Megaphone Command*. Megaphone commands flung across the water brought the torpedo boats to keel, like the greyhounds they were, at the Olympia’s quarter. The brilliant code flags blossomed like flowers on the Olympia from bridge to maintop. It was the order to form in column. The Brooklyn’s pennant snapped “Aye, aye,” from the signal yard,vand a duplicate set of flags passed the order to the Indiana, whence it was flung from ship to ship down the squadron. The Olympia Under Way. The black speed cones of the Olymclimbed slowly to her yards as the big cruiser got under way. The other vessels slowly turned like a troop of cavalry, squadron front, toward the Narrows, and then fetching a graceful sweep, headed back up the harbor toward the Battery, the Olympia, escorted by the mayor’s boat, the Sandy Hook, in the lead. Back of her, at at, 400-yard interval, came the New York, the powerful Indiana and Massachusetts, the fleetfooted Brooklyn, the sturdy old Texas, the rakish yacht-like Dolphin, the old Lancaster, a relic of another naval age; the powerful Chicago, and finally the little Marietta, the rear guard of the fighting craft. Behind stretched the troops and further still, almost lost in the distance, the yachts and miscellaneous craft, hull down the horizon. Dewey’* Magnificent Squadron. 1 The evolution began at one o’clock

and in 15 minutes the fighting tins was straightened out up the harbor. Admiral Dewey was going to his own at the head of a squadron that would have won, at need, three battles of Manila bay without stopping for breakfast. The head of the column was a broad arrow. Six torpedo boats spread out as the barb, three on a side from the Olympia’s quarter. Outside of them a flying wedge of police patrol boats formed a great V, whose apex was the Olympia. Flanking them, ahead and astern were the harbor fire boats, spouting great columns of water, that turned threateningly toward the excursion boats on either side when they attempted to crowd the line of march. A Sinuous Marine Moaster. But the pageant back of this powerful vanguard was not limited to a singignor a sextuple line of ships. It was a sinuous marine monster, half a mile wide, whose vertebrae were the ships of theWhite squadron and whose ribs were rows upon rows of every sort of floating thing that had ever run by steam in New York harbor. Thousands viewed the spectacle as it moved up past Staten Island, thousands more watched it from the anchored sailing craft that crowded the Erie basin, and whose spars rose in a forest about the foot of Liberty. But they were forgotten in the mass of humanity that crowded the water front of Manhattan Island and filled every point of vantage along the Jer

sey shore. _ Immense Thrones of Spectator*. This feature of the scene first broke on the view as Castle William roared an admiral’s salute to the Olympic oil the Battery. By the time the answering1 smoke had died away from the wake of the flagship the immensity of the watching crowd dawned on the crews of the squadron. Every foot of the city water front was a mass of humanity. The wharves, the ferry slips, the roofs of ferry and warehouse rose one above another in solid blocks of people above the lower structures of the water front every roof bore its living freight. Stores, old office buildings and modern sky scrapers were crowded with stands, tiers upon tiers of seats like an immense theater whose roof was the sky, whose walls were the surrounding hills and whose back door was the horizon of the lower bay. As the pageant moved majestically into the Hudson it was seen that the crowd still lined the water front and housetops, thicker, if possible, than ever, and stretching up the river along the whole line of parade. f On the Jersey Side. The heights of the Jersey side were also crowned with parti-colored masses of people. They were not such an unbroken rank as along the wharves of the New York side, but wherever the wooded slopes broke into a clearing the slope was blackened with people from crest to water line. There was no possible way of estimating the! crowd. The morning papers declared there were 1,500,000 visitors in the city. The impression conveyed by the crowded shores was that it would have taken fully that many in addidition to the local population to form the concourse that watched the water pageant. The spectators might have been computed in army corps, certainly not by individuals. Pudeiuonlnm Reigned Supreme. Up the Hudson pandemonium reigned supreme. Areial bombs broke at intervals overhead in puffs of white smoke, and a feathery canopy of steam hung over the advancing fleet as hundreds of steam whistles screamed cuie tinually. A Storm Threatened. Here, too, a disaster of wind and rain impended. Storm clouds that had gathered down the bay followed close in the pageant’s wake. A sharp wind bred whitecaps even in the narrow river, and a few raindrops pattered on the deck. The glare of an angry sky turned the harbor behind the - war ships to molten lead upon which the gigantic figure of Liberty seemed to stand for a time and was soon swallowed up in a bank of gray haze.

The Threatening Sky Relented. Then the threatening sky relented. The sun broke out ahead and painted across the sullen clouds a rainbow arch that ‘stretched from Manhattan to the Jersey shore. It seemed a bit of nature’s art work spread by a kind* ly miracle at the opportune moment, beggaring man’s more humble efforts on shore, but forming a fitting arch of triumph beneath which the victorious admiral sailed to his triumphal anchorage. Sainted Grant’s Tomb. The Old Portsmouth crew manned the rigging as the Olympia passed, and off Grant’s tomb the naval reserves on the St. Marys did the same. Round the stakeboat the Olympia turned smartly, her guns throbbing a deepthroated salute to the resting place of another national hero. The other vessels of the White squadron swung around the St. Marys, in turn, each saluting the tomlx f The Review and Return. The turn of the parade broke the formation of the police boats beyond repair. The war ships doubling back into the mass of advancing boata threatened for a time serious consequences, but the Olympia and her consorts safely dropped anchor at last in reversed column and the water pageant passed the admiral in review. The police boats reappeared as individauls and unceremoniously shouldered intruding vessels out of the line of march. The official procession and its varied following of tugs, launches, steam dredges, and excursion boats, rounded the St. Marys and came down the river in an indistinguishable aquatic mob that was still passing long after the night illumination had begoa.

OVERTURES FROM AGUIHALDO *a Tired of rifktlas ul Wools Peace Accompanied with Honor aa4 Independence. Manila, Oct. 2.—Aguinaldo** third attempt to shift his difficulties into the field of diplomacy is a repetition of the other <me or two, with an impossible endeavor to obtain some sort of recognition of his so-called government. Aaulaaldo Desires Peace, The Filipino envoys had an hour's conference with Gen. Otis yesterday morning. They brought from Aguinaldo a message that he desired peace and wished to send a civilian governmental commission to discuss the question. s Gen. Otis replied that it was impossible for him to reeognize Aguinaldo’s government in that way. Appeals for Recognition, They presented a letter from Aguinaldo, as '“President of the republic,’* which was largely a repetition of his recent appeals for recognition. Gen. Otis informed them that while he was willing to correspond with Aguinaldo as general of the insurgent forces, he must positively decline to recognize him as president of a civil government. "Allowed In restricted Liberty.

Another conference will be held today. The Filipinos will remain two or three days. Their movements are unrestricted, but they are under the constant chaperonage of Capt. Johnson, of the Sixteenth infantry. Yesterday they visited the hospitals and distributed money among the wounded Filipinos, after which they made.-calls and received visitors at their hotel. Attitude of the Natives. Natives in their Sunday clothing thronged the plaza in front of the hotel all day, stretching their necks towards the windows for a glimpse of the snowy uniforms of the envoys. The assemblage finally increased to a thousand people. When the envoys emerged for an afternoon drive, the natives removed their hats deferentially, and a crowd, in vehicles or on foot, followed the carriage through the strets. Want Peace with Honor. “We desired peace, but peace with independence and honor,” said Gen. Alejandrino yesterday, while conversing with a reporter. He impresses one as dignified and dispassionate and as a keen man of the world. He was educated in Europe, and designed the remarkable entrenchments from Manila to Tarlac. While reticent concerning his mission, his conversation throws an intelligent light on the Filipino view of America’s attitude. “How long can the Filipino army and people withstand 60,000 American troops?” asked the representative of the press. Can Fisht (t) Indefinitely. ‘^Fighting our way, we can maintain a state of war and the necessity of a large army of occupation indefinitely. You Americans are holding a few miles around Manila, a narrow line of railroad to Angeles and a circle of country around San Fernandino. But you are ignorant of the resources of Luzon. We hold the rich, productiee northern country upon which to draw. Our people contribute the money and food which maintain our army, aud this is done at a minimum of cost. Anxious to Know, Yon Know. “It is an interesting question what the cost to the American people is of maintaining the American troops in the Philippines. We do not, of course, know the amount, but it must be excessive. We perceive what an American soldier requires in this climate. On the other hand, a Filipino exists with a handful of rice and a pair of linen trousers. WTe do not have to pay our soldiers, and can practically hold tip their wages as long as we desire. Even with our present supply of arms end ammunition we could keep your army occupied for years. Nothing in It for the Filipinos. “With an expense that grows daily how long will your people stand it? The Filipino people do not wish to continue the fighting. We have no army contractors. We have no business men making profits from the maintenance of our army. There is nothing in it for us, nor, are our salaries large enough to keep us fighting for money and position.” A Hint at Recognition.

Discussing the question of nrbitration by the United States of the socalled Filipino government, Gen. Alejsndrino said: “The freedom of the American prisoners who have just been turned over to you was decreed by the Filipino .congress. Your government has accepted them. It will doubtless accept any others that our government may offer.” The Sick Percentage Small. He inquired concerhing the percentage of "Sick American troops, and when informed said he considered it small. He asked a number of questions indicating a hope of anti-imperialist legislation by the United States congress, and asked what would be the effect on the national policy if congress should declare itself opposed to the prosecution of the war, and whether anti-imperialist sentiment was growing in the United States. ** Several inquiries he made also regarding the nature of and effect of a joint resolution of congress. Bank Safe Blown by Robbers. Sedalia, Mo., Oct. 8.—The safe of the Bank of Houstonia, at Houstonia, Mo., was blown open by burglars Saturday night. The robbers are reported to have secured $80,000, but Cashier W. F. Longan says the bank lost only $1,100. Cripple Creek Gold Production. Cripple Creek, Col., Oct. 2,—The gold output of the Cripple Creek district during September amounted to $1,731,000, surpassing all records. The production of gold in this district freon the time of its discovery, in 1891, to date, ia $62,057,292.
