HONOR LOYAL SONS Preparing to Welcome Home-Coming Soldiers. WORDS OF PRAISE FOR THE HEROES Arrangements for an Elaborate Re- ception. MASS MEETING A SUCCESS ———— ‘That the peopl: of Washington appreciate valor and honor the brave soldier boys who left their nomes to uphold the cause of their country and fight for the liberty of Cuba was shown last night by the intense enthusiasm called out at the mass meeting held in the New National Theater to make arrangements for a rousing welcome to the boys of the Ist District of Columbia Reg- iment when they return to their homes. The theate> was crowded long before the heur for the meeting to begin, the audience being compo3ed of the mcst prominent peo- ple of the District. A large proportion of these preseat were ladies, who entered into the patriotic spirit of the mecting and ap- plauded the stirring utterances of the ora- tors of the occasion. Elaborate decorations had been provided, the galleries, boxes and stage being hung with great Amcricin flags, while mam- moth palms and cut flowers ornamented the stage, where were seated the distin- guished men who were to take a leading Postmaster General part in making the arrangements for a hearty welcome for the homecoming sol- dier heroes. Commissioner Ross presided and named E. B. Hay as secretary of the mesting. Letters of regret at their inability to at- tend the meeting were read from President McKinley, Secr-tary of War Alger aud other distinguished men in public life, and eloquent addresses appropriate to the _oc- casion were delivered Posumaster Gen- eral Charlzs Emory Smith, Rev. D. J. Stafford and Corporal James Tanner. The meeting was concluded by the singing of the “Star Spangled Banner” by Mrs. Thom- as C. Noyes, the audience joining in sing- ing the chorus at the end of cac The inspiring patriotic song, sung magnificsnt effect, thrilled the vast audi- ercs and called forth an outburst of pat- rictic applause. The Marine Band was present through- out the evening under the leadership of Professor Santelmann, and was in the rear of the stage, its ren patriotic music keeping the audience in a corstant ferment of patriotic demonstra- tron. The band blended “Dixt2 ke> Doodle,” and the audizace, catching the idea of a closer union of north and scuth, burst into prolonged app The boxes were occupied by patriotic societies, which are as: making the homecoming o memorabl> oceaston. At the end of the meeting the following fies of ng in the soldiers a was adopted unanimously: That the chairman of this be, and he author- ized to appoint committee nee and arrangements, and the ¢ and such other committe as may be necessary to make the proposed elcome to the District regiment a com- plete success, and the chairmen of s mittees authorized to add their r tive committees they may deem proper.” airmen thereof, s and chairmen The President and Others. was called to order by Com- , who announced that E. B. Hay had been selected as retary of the meeti and Mr. Hay proceeded to read of regret from the President and The President's letter follows: MANSIO¥ hington, August 2 Ross, Chairman others, 1898. ‘itizens’ “Hon. John W. Meeting. Dear Mr. Ro: The purpo: of the meeting called to arrange for a suitable re- ception to the Ist District of Columbia Volunteers appeal strongly to my sym- pathy and I have sincere pieasure in assur- ing you of my deep interest in every effort to honor these brave men who so promptly responded to their country’s call. I re- member with pride and gratification the splendid showing they made when reviewed on the way to their field of duty. Their homecoming should be the occasion of a notable demonstration of the gratitude of our peuple. “While my public duties prevent an ac- ceptance of the courteous invitation to be present on Wednesday evening, I shall be glad upon the regiment's return to join the citize of the District in their tribute to its devoted patriotism. Congratulating you and your associates upon the public spirit evidenced by the proposed meeting, and With best wishes for its complete success, believe me, “Very Sincerely You: WILLIAM McKINLEY.” Secretary Alger’s letter was as follows: “WAR DEPARTMENT, “Washington, August 23, 1898. y Dear Si “1 had fully intended to be present with you on the occasion of the citizens’ meet- ing to arrange for the reception of the Dis- trict troops, but found at the last moment that my enforced absence from the city would make this impossible. However, I cannot refrain from improving this oppor- tunity to tell you that my heart is in the movement, and it is a source of great re- Bret that I cannot be with you. I remem- ber well the afternoon in which the brave District boys marched past the White House portico to go to Cuba, some of them never to ret Their manly bearing and military ap} rance impressed me much. I hope, however, that it will be possible for me to take an active part In assisting you in giving them the glorious welcome that they deserve after undergoing so cheerfully the hardships of a campaign never before equaled in the history of the army.

Parker and Colonel Henry May of the Ist Regiment, District of Lyyorld. Columbia National Guard. Commissioner Ross. Commissioner Ross was heartily applaud- ed when he made the opening address, and he declared that the reception of the Dis- trict’s soldiers should be the most success- ful event in the history of the municipality. In eloquent words he recalled the scenes at- tending the departure of the Ist District of Columbia Regiment. Referring to their re- turn, he said: What is your duty in the premises? When the great conventions come to Washington our people subscribe «their money liberally to show appropriate honor to the strangers within our gates, because they are American citizens, and because this is the national capital. “But when in the entire history of the District was there such an appeal to the great-hearted pecple of Washington? “The men who will again pass in review before the honored chief magistrate of a victorious neopte, the men who will come to us weak and worn with disease and with uniforms discolored by the soil which they have heiped to free from the rule of the Spaniard, are our own people. They have risked their llves, endured, suffered for their country. They have added to the dig- nity and have enhanced the prestige of our beloved Washingtcn among the cities of the world. “Let us show them by actions more elo- quent than any words how a grateful people can welcome their own returning heroes. “The sole object of this meeting, there- fore, is to crystallize into appropriate ac- tion the sentiments of pride and gratitude which pervade this entire community. This great assembly of representative citi- zens shows that our people only want to know what is required of them in the way of personal services or contributions of money in order to make the proposed re- ception to our regiment the most success- ful public demonstration known in the en- tire history of the municipality.” Mr. Ross referred to the necessary absence of Company Hi of the Ist Regiment, which had been detained in Porto Rico, and said that while that company would not accompany the returning regiment, Its members would be remembered in every- thing that was done in recognition of tie brave soldiers. Postmaster General Smith. “Marching Through Georgia” was played by the Marine Band, after which Post- master General Gharles Emory Smith was introduced by Mr. Ross. Mr. Smith deliv- ered an address that will always live in the memory of those who heard him. His eloquent language, faultless diction and vivid word-painting showed him to be a master of English and he was roundly ap- plauded. The audience listened with rapt attention to his words, especially his refer- try should adopt. Mr. Smith paid an ¢ quent tribute to Col. Harries, and journalist he said he was glad to h this journalist who had laid down his pen to take up the sword at the call of his country. “This is a great and inspiring popular out- pouring,” said Mr. Smith. “You are ered here to prepare a reception for returning representatives in the field. They are coming home and you are rightly moved to give them a right royal welcome. They are your heroes. ‘They are your sons and brothers and husbands and sweetheart They come from the field of duty and glory at the close of a short but resplendent and triumphant war, and you eagerly open your arms to your own dear boys. “It is a personal pleasure to me, as it is an appreciated honor, to participate in this patriotic and enthusiastic demonstration. As a journalist Lam proud to join my tri ute with yours to the accomplished and faithful journalist who at his country’s call threw aside the pen for the sword and gal- lantly marched at the head of his com- mand to the tented fleld. He is a true sol- dler, as he fs a true citizen, brave, earnest and dutiful, and I want to add a simple leaf to the noble garland of your own Col. Harries. ‘The relations of the government and-the District of Columbia are of the most inti- mate character, and as a humble represen- tative Tam glad to bring the greetings of the government in this heartfelt offering to your returning soldiers, When they march- ed forth on their high mission, tho Prest- dent of the United States took fresh cour- age in his great task as he locked in their young and manly faces, and I am sure that no one is more joyous and thankful than he is of their assured return to home and kindred, crowned with the laurels of faithful service and blessed with the ad- miration and iove of all the people. They richly deserve all the honors can heap upon them. They ars the em- bodiment and personificat tion's unquenchable spirit of Dr. Stafford. their country’s call they eagerly went forth to uphold the honor of the flag we all ven- erate and love, and to advance the sacred cause of humanity and freedom, which con- strained us to unsheath the sword. They went with the loftiest inspirations, to brave the severest trials and hardships on a strange soil and in a perilous ciime, in the noblest spirit of self-sacrifice and in obe- dience to the highest summons of patriotic duty. They went not for conquest, not for plunder, not as the banded force of a self- aggrandizing power, but as the volunteer defenders of a great republic, impelled by the mandates of civilization, humanity and justice, to redress wrongs which cried to heaven, and to bring enduring peace and security where cruelty and oppression had so long left their destructive mark. An Undying Honor. “No tribute which you may pay them can outmeasure their deserts. They return with the highest badge which the citizens of the republic can wear, that of offering all for the defense of the country. They return with a luster which can never fade. It will be an undying honor to any man who can say ‘I was at Santiago. [was in the heroic charge on the heights of San Juan, I stood in the ranks that stormed the guns of El Caney. I slept in the trenches which surrounded the doomed city and compelled the surrender.’ Santiago, hike Manila, will ever remain with Sara- toga and Monmouth and Yorktown on the lustrous roll of national victories, ard the flags which come from their bloody con- flicts will ever be kept among the-treasured emblems of the nation’s glory.” Mr. Smith spoke of the great naval re- view in New York harbor, and spoke of the war as one pre-eminently just in its begin- ning and as carried cn in a way to leave no room for reproach. It had abolished all sectionalism, and the people of the north and south moved hand in hand and heart to heart in making it a success.. New Responsibilities. “Six months ego,” said the Postmaster General, “we were pursuing the even course of peaceful development. Today the menotonous drama of war has brought us to a new situaticn and a new epoch. Qué republic is advancing to a new 4fid com- manding position among nations. We have been swept forward by the mighty and irresistible tide of transcendent and un- foreseen events, and whether we would or not, we can never drop back to where we sicod before. NeW duties and new vespon- sibiliies have come to us, not so much by any calculation of our own as by the over- ruling hand of an alt-wise Providence, and = must manfully and courageously face em. “I am not here to discuss any questions of public policy{ They are for their own time and place. ‘But there are great over- mastering truths which are for all times and all plazes. He would not be a true American who Gces not recognize that our country is and to be one of the great, peaceful and civilizing influences of the Our American heritage of lofty principle and moral law forbids mere terri- tcrial lust. Our policy is not aggressive and does not alm atemilitary aggrandize- ment. We began the war with humane urpose; we havé brought a cessation of estilities with modegate terms of peace, and we must close this chapter with a full recognition of duty afd destiny, but with- out any stand upon the integrity of our purpose. We must nof relinquish the van- tage ground of our moral rectitude and of our conscious self-control. We must con- tinue to stand before the world as the mos? shining exemplar of peace and civilization. But we must accept the full mission of peaceful and commerrtal development. and, recognizing that new occasions teach new duties, we must unfortunately use the instruments which Providence has plocea in our hand: Rev. Father Stafford. At the conclusion of Mr. Smith’s address the Marine Band played “Dixie,” after which Rev. Father Stafford delivered a most eloquent and impressive oration, which moved and thrilled the audience. He spoke of the birth of liberty on the Ameri- can continent and of the ability of this nation to manage its own affairs without dictation from European governments. His references to Dewey and Schley called forth tremendous applause, and when he spoke of their blended glories he could not proceed for seyeral minutes on account of the prolonged applause. “The foundation of the American repub- lic,” he said, “is, without a single excep- tion, the most important act in the civil history of the world. It is an act of the most sublime confidence in man. Others had built upon prestige, vested rights, tra- ditions, theories of government, or the sword. Here for the first time a nation was built upon man. Taking man and his natural inherent rights as a basis, the gov- ernment was built upon nature; was ac- cording to the logic of things and neces- sarily placed the condition of a great fu- Corvoral Tanner. to come, by an nd logical development, of prifciple.

The Work of God. “But the wotks of God are logical and symmetrical. A jewel must be properly set; a landscape properly viewed, and a great idea should have a great outward and material expression. Religion has so wrought from the temples of Greece to the cathedrals of Europe, and commerce seeks, by gigantic constructions, adequately to express its:lf to the world. Men may fail, but when Providence works there must be order, symmetry and harmony; therefore, the gre: c d to a Sodtary island; did not the barren and uninhabitable the north, did not appear among the poor population of some arid and mel- ancholy waste, but here upon this great continent, a world of its own, with every material resource and ev-ry natural ad- Vantage, every form of beauty and every possibility of growth.” The eloquent words of the crator called forth frequent applause. He spoke for half an hour, tracing the growth ef Ameri- can liberty, and said it was no less glorious to perpetuate than to liber His rendition of “The Ship of State” v masterly and appreciated by the audience. The results of the war had beon, ne said, to strengthen the Union. In speaking of the union of all Father Stafford said the Union w not only of sections, but of men ot liefs and no belief. He spoke of a a one of whom, he said he was sorry ‘ay, Was the pas- tor of a chureh of this ci who had at- tempted to make the war a religious qu tion. For himseif, he want2d freedom aud union among men of all beliefs and men of Do beliefs. Ex-Commissioner Tanner. Prolonged applause followed lather Stafford'’s remarks, the band then playing a stirring air, after which ex-Commis- sioner of Pensions James Tanner gave an entertaining and inspiring address, en- livened by witticisms and strong in cota- Ircn sens» suggestions. Referring to the speakers who had pre- ceded him, Mr. Tanner said: “I have but one suggestion to make, and that is to my friend, the Postmaster Gen- eral. I told him when he concluded his brilliant speech that the only amendment I had to offer was that where he had used the word ‘Manila’ I woyld substitute the word ‘Philippines.’ I am rather inclined to agree with the eminent divine when he said that we are capable of running our own machine, for that is the Yankee way of putting his remarks.” Grand Work. Mr. Tanner favored keeping everything the flag floats over, and he was not to be bound down by the Monroe doctrine. After commenting on the war, Mr. Tanner cun- tinued: “While we are heré talking about what we will do for our boys when they come home, do you Know what some of the la- dies have been doing? Down on Maryland avenue, where etarloads after carloads of sick and wounded soldiers have been com- ing into this city, and lying there for hours without proper nourishment—our boys, for they are our boys, whether they come from Vermont, Mississippi or California, their uniform makes them our boys—the first thing we knew we found out that the ladies of that neighborhood, seeing their necessities, have been actually taking the food from their:tables and have been car- rying it to the boys who were too sick tc get out of the ears, Oh, I would like to Say a great deal more of what I think of these ladies, exeept for the fact that my wife is present. ie speaker id a glowing compliment to Miss Clara Barton, and then, speaking of the reception to be tendered the soldiers, he said: Practical Suggestion. “It has been suggested that part of this reception should be a great banquet to the beys, and that there should be a costly and beautiful banner presented to them. This is all right, but, remember, as you remember the great victory, that when these men come back and have once laid aside the trappings of war, when they pass down these streets once again in citi- zens’ garb, the most earnest prayer most of them will be forced to utter will be, ‘Our Father, give us this day our daily bread.’ They are coming back with the very marrow of their bones surcharged with malarial (groans through the nd a nfin home steppes « 2n little narrow bigots, to house), I suppose that history will repeat itself, and when their proud spirits are broken and it is forced u those’ ho fought at Santiago and at ‘to Rico and t Idea of liberty was not | at other places, wher they laid the foun- dations of disease, which sapped their vital energies, that they must rap at Uncle Sam's pension door and cry for a pittance, there may be an economic pension com- missioner who will think that the way to public favor and approval is in paring down pensions to the lowest degree and making a record for economy by tearing the heart- | strings and bringing want and suffering upon the ex-soldiers. It has been done, it is being done; what more natural than that it should be done again? Business Transacted. At the conclusion of Mr. Tanner's ad- dress Mr. E. B. Hay offered the resolution providing for the appointment of commit- tees, which was adopted, and Mr. Ross announced that Major Sylvester would be chairman of the committee on arrange- ments and Mr. John Joy Edson chairman of the committee on finance. Mr. Ross announced that he had re- ceived several checks, and wanted some one to whom he could turn them over. At the suggestion of Mr. Hay the follow- ing was adopted: Resolved, That the thanks of this mass meeting are cordially and gratefully tender- ed to Messrs. W. W. Rapley & Sonof the Nationa! Theater: to M. G. Copeland & Co., decorators: J. H. Small & Sons, flor- ists: W. B. Moses’ Sons, furniture: the Ma- rine Band: McGill & Wallace, printers, for their generous contributions to this pre- liminary meeting, and the secretary is re- quested to convey to each of these firms a copy of this resolution. Resolutions adcpted at the meeting of va- rious military and civic organizations at the National Rifles’ Armory Tuesday night, in regard to the character of the reception to be given the District regiment, were read end referr2d to the committee on arrange- ments. Resolutions thanking the Post for sug- gesting the reception and arranging for the preliminary meeting, and The Star and Times for their hearty co-operation in mak- ing the movement a success were adopted. Rev. Dr. H. N. Couden, chaplain of the House of Representatives, announced that the District Volunteers’ Aid Association was ready to co-operate with the commit- tees appointad at the mass meeting in re- ceiving the volunteers. Closing Scene. The meeting was concluded by the singing of “The Star Spangled Banner” by Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes. The audience paid rapt attention to Mrs. Noyes’ rendition of the patrictic song, and joined in the chorus with enthusiasm, filling the big theater with a mighty volume of harmony. Mr. Perey Foster led the audience in singing the chorus. Mrs. Noyes’ voice easily filled the great theater, her enunciation of the words of the song being clear, and her full, rich tones thrilling the assemblage. Stage and Boxes.

ROMERO'S REMALNS. Deposited Temporarily in a Vault in Dolores Cemetery. Last Wednesday morning, August 17, the remains of Mrs. Romero, wife of the Mex- ican minister, were temporarily deposited in the Iturbe family vault in the Dolores cemetery, near the City of Mexico. There they will remain until the completion of the Romero family vault, which will short- ly be constructed on the lot recently pur- chased in the same cemetery by Mr. Rom- ero. The Dolores cemetery is beautifully situated, overlooking the valiey of Mexico, which has the city in its midst. Before the remains were removed from the French cemetery a low mass of requiem was said in the chapel in the presence of Minister Romero, his relatives and a group of friends, including United States Minister Clayton and Mrs. Clayton. The casket was piled high with superb floral offerings. Presi@ent Diaz was also present and ac- companied the family in their car to the Dolores cemetery. The Iturbe vavit is approached through a beautiful litde chapel, and several of the niches hold the :emains of members of the family of Mr. Manuel Iturbe, who is at present the Mexican minister to England. Aiter the casket containing Mrs. Romero's remains was lowered into the crypt Min- ister Romero, accompanied dy his aunt, Miss Guadalupe Avendano, also descended, and before the outer case was finally screwed down Mr. Romero took his last Icok of her who was the sunshine of his life. Presideat Diaz and the rest of the mourners remained at the head of the staircase until the last tribute of respect had been paid the mortal remains of a wo- man so greatly Leloved in her own and her adopted country. —_——_$__.—___.

The review of the ist Brigade of the 34 Division, temporarily 2ttached to this com- mand, scheduled to take place last evening, was postponed indefinitely at the suge tion of Maj. Cook, chief surgeon of the di vision, on account of the intense heat. The brigade comprises the Ist Connecticut and 8d Virginia, and the 11th Signal Corps Com- any, attached to division headquarters, was to have paraded also. The troops will not be reviewed this evening, but if the weather shall prove to be favorable the parade will take place tomorrow afternoon. The hospital train from Philadeip! reached Dunn Loring at noon. Several hours later it left for the Quaker city with about 125 conva:escent soldiers, who w receive medical attention from the Phiia- celphians. There were not enough Penn- sylvanians to tax the capacity of the rail- rcad hospital, so the authorities kindiy of- fered to take the sick from other state or- gunizations ‘hat were in proper condition 1. eport in the morning papers that the 1st Division is to be moved immediaiely to Middletown, Pa. ed on War Depart- j ment informatioi s no confirmation here.

Pa assistant adju- tant general of this division, and Lieuten- ant Alfred Hampton, an aid on the staff of Major Genera! Putler, have been selected to accompany the general to Cuba, Both are efficient ofticers, fluent Spanish scholars and well fitted to perform the arduous du- ties which will fall to their lot. Captain Page is a professor of French and Spanish in the University of Pennsyl- vania. At the outbreak of the war he offered his services to the government as an interpreter to accompany the army of invasion to Cuba. Recognizing his worth, he was given a commission, and the wii dom of the selection is shown by his faith- ful and excellent work as assistant adju- tant general. AS a result of his numerous tours through South America and Europe he is weil acquainted with the people with Whom the commission will have to deal. Lieutenant Hampton is the youngest son of General Hampton. Of late years he has been connected with the immigration ¢ partment, serving in Arizona and Te: Before he entered the government service he was engaged as a mining engineer in Mexico. Like Captain Page, he thoroughly understands the character of the Spaniards and Spanish half-breeds. Private George Purucker, Company F, 63th New York, died this morning in the 1st Division hospital of typhoid fever. His body will be laid to rest tomorrow after- noon in the national cemetery at Ariing- ton with military honors. MEN ARE DELIGHTED. Pennsylvania Prospect of Discharge. jal Dispatch to The Evening Star. THOROUGHFARE, V August 25. The greatest delight is evidenced by off- c2rs and men of the 6th Pennsylvania over the official announcement of its mustering out, as published in yesterday's Star. The uncertainty of their final disposition has been a source of consid:rable anxiety and the reason for many precautions against desertion. Within the past week the desire to escape garrison duty has been growing steadily, and yest-rday “5 per cent were anxious to go to their state and be m tered out. Petitions addressed to the § retary of War were formulated and passed through the companies, but wer> dropped, Sixth » other regiments remaining at Thor- ovghfare ar> fully ae anxious for their service to end and petitions are in cifcula- tion everywhere, ni left Thoroughfare at 11 o'clock morning, and as the men marcned to the train they cheered and sang and told the bystanders that they were about to return to “God's country.” The Ist and Battalions will leave this after- noon at 30 sharp. The 7th Illinois will fellow tomorro: Private George M. Regiment, whi the measles ai nd on the ospital in ayes of the 2d Tennessee 4 cured of turned to the field ous condition, died this morning at 6:30 o'clock of spinal’ men- ingitts. When Private Mayes was returned to his regiment, it is reported, the only cov. ering given him was a rubber poncho, his clothes having been burned at the ficld hos- pital to destroy the germs infesting them. Ever since his second visit to the ficid ho: pital he has been unconscious. The court-martial having Duncan's case in charge will, it !s expected, complete its work today. The court will adjourn and formulate its findings. Lieatenant Connelly of Company K, 7th Illinois, has had rather dangerous bedfel- lows for the past two nights. This morn- ing in cleaning out his tent he unearthed a nest of spotted adders, of which he killed a half dozen. Investigation revealed the presence of similar broods tn other tents, and the men have been killing snakes all morning. ———— Unwise Imperial Words, From the Pittsburg Christian Advocate. The Emp2ror of Germany thinks the army the strength of the throne. In a re- cent speech to a gathering of soldiers he spok> of the distrust with which he had been received when he ascended the throne and added: “One alone believed in me—tae army—and supported by you and trusting in the God of our forefathers, I took up the heavy office, knowing well that the army is the chief support of my country and chief pillar of the throne.” This may be true of Germany, but If so it is a sad comment on the condition of things in that country. When a govern- ment depends on its army—when th: army is “the chief support” of a country and “the chief support” of its throne, the condi- tion of its people is deplorable. "We do not belfeve the condition of things in Germany is as bad as the emperor’s words would in- PGS § Ulcers Capt. J. HH.
