New York, April 3<»- —The celebration
attending the return of the Fatted States
cruiser Raleigh from Manila oeeurml
today. The Raleigh, accompanied by
two small war vessels eaptnreil from
the Spaniards last summer anil a fleet
nf twenty-five excursion steamers and
tng-boat*, paraded from Tonipkiusville
to Grant's Tomb and from there back
to an anchorage lit the North river,
off Thirty-fourth street, ft would have
1„.,n difficult to select more inclement
or disagreeable weather than that which
prevailed all the time that the Italeigh
was passing in review la-fore the thous
ands of enthusiastic people who lined
the river banks and gave her their
hearty cheers of welcome home.
The air was raw and the officers
ami men <>! the ;Ualeigh stood upon the
deeka three hours, drenched to the skin
and shivering with the cold. There
were very few jteople along the river
front in the lower part of toe city, owing
partly to the weather and partly to the
fact that the entrances to the piers are
generally closed on Sundays. But great
crowds assembled in Riverside Park,
overlooking the Hudson, and men.
women and children stood there for
hours under umbrellas, watching tin
vessels on their way up the river and on
their return.
Kit; CROWD AT CHANTS TOMB.
By far the greatest gathering of peo
ple was iu the vicinity of f!ruat's Tomb,
which was tin* turning point of the pa
rade. A national salute was tiri-d there
by the Raleigh and also by the captured
Spanish prizes, and the scene was ren
ib-red a memorable one by the shrieking
of a hundred steam whistles from ex
cursion Isiats anil locomotives and cheers
from thousands of jieople on shore and
on the vessels in the river.-
The Raleigh lay at anchor off Thomp
kinsville all the morning, (‘apt. Fogh

of the citizens* reception committee to
visit the Raleigh and accompany her
on the parade. He had his crew give
her hull a fresh coal of paint during the
time lad ween daybreak and tin- hour
sci for the arrival of the committee, and
all the officers prepared for the occasion
by putting on fujl dress. Boats of all
descriptions continued to arrive from
the city, and each ran up as close to the
Raleigh as possible anil cheered her.
The two captured Spanish gunboats,
the Alvarado and Sandoval, arrived
from the navy yard early, Imth dressed
gaily with flags and bunting, and they
created almost as much enthusiasm as
the Raleigh lu-rself.

The committee returned to the Glen I*
land at om-e. and as Mayor A an Wyek
left the side of the Raleigh he re
reived a salute of fifteen gun*.
Preparations were then made to get
under way for the parade. The Raleigh
was headed down I In- stream at the time,
and when she raised her anchor and
swung around slowly the whistles on all
tin* craft near her shrieked a salute,
and all the people on tho excursion boat*
cheered and waved handkerchief# and
lings. The Glen Island led the proces
sion of vessels, and tin- Raleigh followed
just astern of her. The Alvarado and
HaudovaJ took position off either bow
of the cruiser, and jsiliee boats, tugs, and
excursion boats followed in a double
column. There was no special demon
stration until <lovei'iior’s Island was
passed, when a national salute was
fired. About this |siint the coast survey

DEFENDK FLOSES ITS CASE.
A’ain IClTort to Discredit N«-w ham's
Testimony.
Charleston. S. F.. April IT. After
setting tq alibis for AYelwlrr, Joyner
and Godwin today, the defense iu the
[trial of the alleged Lake City lym-hers
closed it* ease. Alibis won- pm forward
for Rodgers, Mi Knight, K|»ps, and

whose la-half efforts Intve not In-en made
to establish one is Stokes, the merchant

jGodwin was suk a; home, that Joyner
'slept at Id* own residence with a school
1 boy and that Webster was at his own
J house with the grip the night of the
; lynching.
j The sensation of the day canto after
tit,- defence had closed its case, Among
it* efforts to break down the testimony
of Newham, the man who turned Slate's
evidence, was a pat certificate. It was
J not dated, tht- date having evidently
j been scratched out; tint tin- defence
‘ claimed it was issued February "Ist.
iln rebuttal the tiovernment placed the
stnh book of the county supervisor in
evidence, showing that the stub before
j and tin- one after that of Newham wa*
j each issued lidrd. The Inference that
the Newham ticket lias hoe a falsified was
! directly made, and this matter is ev
pooled to cut a considerable figure iu the
case in the future.
The Government said this afternoon
that it had about twenty-five more wit
nesses to examine, so argument will
scarcely begin before Wednesday. The
ease may reach iho jury Thursday.
