The Raleigh , accompanied by two small war vcwele captured from the Spaniards lass summer , nnd n fleet of about tvventy-nvc excursion steamers and tugboats , piraiUM from Tompklnsvllle to Grant's tomb , and from there back to anchorage In the North river off Thirty-fourth street. It would have been dlfllcuU to have selected more Inclem ent or disagreeable weather than that which prevailed all the time that the Raleigh wns passing In review before the thousands of enthusiastic people who lined the river hanks and ga\e It their hearty cheers of vvclcomu home. The cruiser did not leave Its anchorage off Tompklnsvllle for the pirado up the bay and the Hudson river until hortly be fore noon. An hour before that time a drizzling rain commenced to fall , and this SPOII turned Into a steady downpour , which continued the remainder of the day. Tile ulr was raw and the officers and men of the Raleigh stood upon the decks three hours , drenched to the skin , nnd shivering with cold. There were very few people along the river front in the lower part of the city , owing partly to the weather and partly to the fact that the entrances to the piers are clcsed on Sundays. But great crowds assembled in Ulveralde park , overlooking the Hudson , and men , women nnd children stood there for hours under umbrellas watch ing the \esscls on their way up the rivet and on their return. Al till' Tonill of fJrinH. By far the greatest gathering of people was In the vicinity of Grant'B tomb , which was the turning point of the parade. A national salute was fired there by the Raleigh and also by the captured Spanish prizes , and the scene was rendered a memor able one by the shrieking of n hundreil steam whistles from excursion boats anil locomotives and cheers from thousands o ! people on shore and on the vessels in the river. The Raleigh lay at anchor off Tompklns- vlllo all the morning , nnd no special excite ment attended Its presence there until aboul 10 o'clock , when several excursion steamer arrived from the city , ran alongside of U and cheered it timennd again. Mrs. Coghlnn , the wife of the commander of the cruiser , arrived at Tompklnsvllle between 9 to 1C o'clock , where he took a small boat and went out to the Raleigh and welcomed hei husband. Captain Coghlan was apprihot : early of the Intentions of the citizens' re ception committee to visit the Raleigh am' ' accompizy It on life parade.

Rain commenced to fall soon after K o'clock and an hour later the decks wen flooded and every one on the Raleigh wa seeking shelter wherever It could be founa Boats of all descriptions continued to ar rive from the city , and each one ran up at cleee to the Raleigh as possible- and those on board cheered lor It. The two capturec Spanish gunboats , the Alvarado nnd the Sandoval. arrived from the navy yard early both dressed gaily with Hags and bunting and they created almost as much cnthuslasir , as the Raleigh Itself About 11 o'clock the large steamer Glen Island arrived , carryinj the citizens' reception committee , headed bj Mayor Van WycK , and also having on boanl a number of Invited guests.

Preparations wore then made to got under way for the parade. The Ral elgh was headed down the stream at the time , and when It raised Its anchor SIR swunc around slowly the whistles on all the crafts near shrieked a salute , and all the people on the excursion steamers chccrei : and waved handkerchiefs and flags. The Glen Island led the proce-aslon of vesBoli and the Raleigh followed just astern of It The Alvarado and Sandoval took position ofi either bow of the ciulser and police ? boats tugs and excursion boats followed In .

By the time the Raleigh and Its escorts reached the southern end of Rlvside pirk the rain hail not abated In the icaat. but the enthusiasm. Instead of falling off. In creased both on the vcs ° els and on the shore. The boulevard and the paths In Iho pirk were crowded by the people , who tad been watting there nn hour or moro , all drenched and chilled , but with the one thought of doing honor to the Rnlelgh. Two shore batteries flrel n salute near this point , the people on shore , In boat IKMMC.I nnd In small launches fired off cannon- crackers , revolvers and shotguns , whiles a Inlf eloien loromotlvcb on the railroad track that runs along the river added to the deaf ening noise by blowing their whistles nil the tlmo the Raleigh was passing. Just before anivlng almost off Grant's tomb the cruiser slowed down preparatory to turning and while the cheering and whistle blowing and other noises vveio at tht > lr height the two sl\-pounders on the Rnlclgh commenced the wiluo of twentj-one guns. The last shot had hanlly died away when the Alvarado and Sandoval opened wlih thnli national salute and a battery on shore joined in the tilhutc to General Grant. When the salutes were concluded the Raleigh turned slowly and headed down the river , Its es corts turning at the same time. The run back to anchorage off Thlrtj-fourth Mrcet was made slowly and the same enthusiasm was displaced ns on the run up the river. When the Raleigh finally anchored It was surrounded Immediately by a licet of excur sion boats nnd as fast as they could roach the gangway the people aboard them climbed on the cruiser and extended personal wel come to the oflicers and men. The war ship was uncomfortably crowded , but everybody received .1 cordial reception and the crew apparently took great pride In showing visitors over the ship and par ticularly In pointing out the five-Inch gun on the starboard side on the top deok that fired the first shot in the battle of Manila bay.

The defense IB all icady ami fully prepared , while the plaintiff may ask for a little time In which to gather more evidence. But as the evi dence no far secured Is so strong against her and there has not been a person found to question any evidence so far disclosed there cannct be much ot a delay made ou that account.
