Frederick Funston, formerly colonel of the Twentieth Kansas volunteers, now en route home from Manila, in a letter received by a friend in Fort Scott, predicts that the war in the Philippines will have ended by spring. Much to the surprise of everyone in • New York city, the Olympia, with Admiral Dewey on board, which sailed from Gibraltar, on the 10th, arrived ofit the Sandy Hook lightship, on the 26th, at 5:55 a. m., two days ahead of time.

-The Paris Temps, commenting on the enthusiasm attending Dewey’s return to America, says: “It is a happy country which qan welcome a hero without fear of Cjaesarism, militarism or socialism.

Tke« Comma tlie Great LuA Parade, XV It a eased by Ma«r Thoasaada, Who Cheer aad Cheer the Mm Who Plante* Qld Glory la the Phlliiiplaea aad Became a Hla-tory-Maker. New York, Oct. 1.—The second day of New York’s official welcome to Admiral Dewey opened cool and clear. There was hardly a cloud in the sky, and the temperature was just low enough to keep the crowds on the move for warnith. Many people were out at sunrise to secure desirable points from which to view the parade, but lower Broadway was well filled with those who were anxious to have a look at Dewey oh his way to the city hall, whether they were to see the parade or not. “ The First Ceremony. The first ceremony was the presentation, at the city hall, of a solid gold loving cup to the admiral by Mayor Van Wyck, on behalf of the city of New York. At seven o’clock the police boat Patrol, with a special reception committee on board, made up of St. Clair McKelway, Wm. McAddo, Levi P. Morton, Chauncey M. Depew, Richard Croker and Warren M. Foster, started for the Olympia. The admiral boarded the Patrol, which steamed to the Battery, where the city’s guest was met by another committee, and proceeded to the city hall. At the City Hall.

Gov. Roosevelt, accompanied bj his adjutant-general, Avery D. Andrews, his orderly, and Seth Low, were among the first to arrive at the city hall for the presentation ceremony. They got there a few minutes after eight o’clock, and were ushered into the mayor’s office. The mayor had not yet arrived, but he put in an appearance a few minutes later. Then came Admiral Philip, Col. Treadwell, Capt. Asa Walker, and Charles H. Knox. A few minutes later Rear-Admiral Schley came in in full dress, and was received by Gen. Howard Carroll. In a short time the mayor’s office yras filled up with military and naval officers in full dress uniform. Admiral Schley was the center of, attraction, and he was kept busy shaking hands with those who were introduced to him. Capt. Coghlan, formerly of the Raleigh, came in, and was greeted with “Hoch der Kaiser.” He smilingly responded, and ahqpk hands all around. I,., The Hero Comes. It was 8:40 o’clock when the tread of the cavalry was heard, and the people in the mayor’s office looked out to see Troop A, followed by the carriages with the admiral and the committee. “Fall in after the mayor,” shouted Secretary Downes, and Mayor Van Wyck and his secretary hastened to the platform in front of the building, in which the presentation was to take place. The mayor had just reached the platform when Admiral Dewey came up stairs. The admiral walked over to the mayor, and with a hearty “good morning,” shook him warmly by the hand. Capt. Lamberton, Lieut. Brumby, with Chauncey M. Depew, Levi P. Morton, and Richard Croker, followed, and then came the other offioers of the Olympia, -and the remaining members of the committee.

Cheer* For Dewey and Schley. Admiral Dewey evidenced a desire to shake hands will all the naval officers, and introduce them to the mayor. He almost hugged Rear-Admiral Schley, and he patted Capt. Coghlan on the back. « As Dewey greeted Schley the crowd sent up cheer after cheer for “Dewey and Schley.’’ As soon as the greetings were over, the mayor began his speech, presenting the city’s loving cup. The mayor said: Mayor Van Wyck’e Speech. “The true dignity of manhood can never be over estimated in the study of the influences which build up or preserve a state. Hero-worship, if it be merely a manifestation of a full recognition and appreciation of such manhood in the individual leader’s performance of duty to the state, either in war or peace, is most commendable. It holds up his high standard to be emulated by the living as well as the unborn millions to be. To such a hero death itself bows, for he lives in memory for all time. In this spirit I shall not hesitate in this presence to freely express America’s estimate of your character and achievements. The nation would gladly have its dominion extended over the face of the globe in order that admiring millions or additional fellow citizens might be here to-day to pay homage to you and welcome you back. “‘Your countrymen are interested in and know every detail of your life. Your joys and your sorrows are theirs. They have traced your ancestry and your character and deeds, from the cradle rocked by a fond mother, to the Olympia rocked by the waves of the mighty dee with delight to the story o Deweys bravely doing theii ery war of their country foi _,,__ your pointing out, when a mere child, to your father, the pictures in the clouds of ships and battles, including the battle of Lake Erie, and the form of Perry saving bis country’s flag from the disabled ship; of the devotional impress stamped upon your character by a loving mother; of your struggle with the school master which taught the necessity of discipline in the affairs of life; of your inherited love for children and music; of your later bright and vivacious boyhood, mingled with the mischievous, but never with the malicious; of your deferential respect for those of your mother’s sex; of the romance of your courtship and happy marriage; of your service under Admiral Farragut in the Gulf squadron, as the executive officer of the Mississippi, when you plunged iron shot and shell through the armor of the Confederate ram Manassa; of the sturdy and fearless manner in which you defended your ship against the guns of Port Hudson,* and the quiet and orderly manner in which you abandoned her when she sank, calling for special commendation of your superiors in their report; of the circumstances that between wars, Parragut for forty-eight yearfe and you for thirty-seven years, devoted vourp. They listen f the fighting r duty in ev

This has always been so, whether In the times when Neptune with trident rode the sea In shell-shaped boat drawn by dolphins; or when the Vikings roved the north main carrying all before them; or when the sea kings with the modern navy were stationed upon the ocean to guard and protect the equal rights of civilised governments and their commerce upon the highOf tliO 84NL* “The world stood enthralled and then broke out In loud husxahs which can never be silenced, when the electric sparks flashed out the news over the globe that on the 1st of May, 1888, your fleet had destroyed, In Manila bay, the Spanish navy, silencing the forts and taking the Philippine Islands, thus stripping the east of every vestige of Spanish domination. Spain was that moment conquered. Tho Pacific ocean was that instant cleared of hostile forces, leaving to the remaindef of our naval and land forces the task ol sweeping clean the Atlantic ocean and her islands of the depressed, half-fam-ished and scattered bands of Spanish stragglers. “This all was accomplished In a naval battle of less than seven hours. Including the coolly-ordered intermission for breakfast. Not an American killed, but 200 Spaniards laid low, 700 wounded, the Spanish navy destroyed and an empire lostto her forever. History records no achievement of such superb completeness as the battle In Manila bay. “This demonstration is no mere tribute to a personal friend, a fellow-cltlsen. Tt Is a single and deserved recognition of the debt due the public servant who has proved himself grandly and efllciently faithful to his country’s welfare and honor. Tou are called a man of destiny. You are—but it Is the destiny of merit and worth—the conscientious obedience of duty of one skilled in art and judgment. “Our republic has no reason to fear a comparison of her sea fighting with those of other nylons. The birth of the republic gave t# her Paul Jones; the war for freedom of ocean highways gave her Perry, and the war for the mortal and physical integrity gave her Farragut. She points with pride to any of these trinity and says to all nations, match him if you can. The war against Spain, waged for common humanity’s sake in behalf of her Island neighbors, gave her Dewey, who can safely be proclaimed chief among the naval heroes of the world. # “The route of these Idolised nautical sons of the republic is well marked. Their exploits go resounding through time, partaking or the vast and overwhelming character of the ocean upon which they rode, lived, acted and attained their great achievements which are the pride of all Americans. "From your entry to your departure from Manila bay you were a history-mak-er, and if the old style prevailing of naming the period after him who bore the most illustrious name of any living man this would be known as the Dewey age. Solitary in the grandeur of your achievements. you are lifted above all those who have gone before you “To the mayor.-has been assigned the personally pleasant duty of presenting to you In the name of the city of New York, the metropolis of our country, this loving cup, a keepsake to remind you from timo to time of her love for you and her special pride in your deeds of valor, which she believes will for ages to come insure full respect of all nations and people for pur starry flag, whether flung to the breeze over the man-of-war or over tho ship of commerce.’’

Admiral’s Dewey’s Response. When the mayor had concluded, Admiral Dewey began to reply by say* ing: "It would bo quite impossible for me, Mr. Mayor, to express in words-” Ajt this point he was interrupted with cheers, and he began again: "It would be quite impossible to express in words how deeply I am moved by this—all these honors, one after the other—that beautiful cup, the freedom of the city, this exeat, magnificent reception. I can not say what I want to, but speaking for myself and the gallant squadron I had the honor to command at Manila, f thank you from the bottom of my heart." Shook Hands All Ronnd. After the formal cermonies Admiral Dewey went about shaking hands with his friends. “Come here, all you captains,” he said, addressing the naval captains present. Then he introduced each to the audience present. “Capt. Lamberton of the Olympia,” he cried, “Capt. Wildes of the Boston, Capt. Coghlan of the Baleign, Capt. Dyer of the Baltimore, Capt. Wood of the Petrel, Capt. Walker of the Concord.” 6 = When the captains had all assembled, he waved his hands toward them, and said:* “There are the men w*ho did it. These are the men who should be thanked. Without them I could do nothing.”
