MacArthur's division crossed the Rio Grande
today and advanced on Apnllt , completely
routing the flower of the rebel army.
The enemy was very strongly entrenched
on the river bank near both sides of the
railroad bridge. Gcncial Wheaton sent Colonel
nel Funaton. across , with two companies of
the Twentieth Kansas regiment , a couple ot
privates swimming the swift stream with a
rope under a calling nro for the purpose
of guiding the raft , The men prosscd In
bqunds ot twenty and attacked the left flank
of the rebels , who scuttled like rabbits Into
covered ways and trenches. The rest of the
legtmcnt was compelled to cross tbo bridge
In single file along the stringers. All tlio
woodwork and most of the Ironwork had
been removed. The first Montana regiment
followed the Kansans across the bridge.

by General Antonio Luna on a black charger ,

two miles to the left.
Emerging from the Jungle the enemy
formed an open skirmish line nenrly two
miles In length with very thick reserves uc-

until they were about 2,000 yards from the

great crowd of people. Miss Rosemary Sar

Illustrious grandfather In Falrmount park.
Although the day was not a holiday In honor
of the event , there was a great outpouring
ot patriotic citizens. All the ships In the
harbor were gaily dressed In colors. This
city every year commemorates the blrthduy

ns It did today.
The weather was beautiful. The morning
broke dull nnd gray and gave every Indica
tion of rnln , but the sun came out early nud
Its warm rays were never again crossed by
clouds during the day.
President and Mrs. McKlnley enjoyed
themselves Immensely during their outing

greeted by the people and both of thorn
graciously responded. The president showed
no signs of his re-cent slight Indisposition.
Next to the piesldent and his wife , Mrs
Grant and Miss Sartoris shared the attention
of the people , and they too , were cheered
everywhere they were recognized.
The unveiling was a great success In every
way , not an accident marred the occasion ,
nor was there a hitch at any tlmo duilng
the day. The statue Is located In a beauti
ful spot along the east drive of the Schuyl-
klll river. In Falrmount park. It Is the gift
of the Falrmount Park Art association to
the people of Philadelphia.
The gallant little cruiser Raleigh , now ly
ing In the Delaware river off this city , was
not lost sight o' dm ing the unveiling cere
monies. All day long great crowds visited
the river nenr where the cruiser IB l > lng
nnd hundreds of people paid n visit on board
nnd were shown about the vessel. The only
nctlvc part the cruiser took in the cere
monies of the day was the firing of a salute
ns the monument was unveiled.

arrival in this city that President McKlnley
has no Intention of rc movlng Captain
Coghlan from the command of the Rulelgb.
The president , It wa stated , reports to the
contrary notwithstanding , has not oven
considered such action. It was also learned
from the snme authentic source that the ad
miration held by tbo president for Captain
Coghlan's participation with Admiral Dewey
In the destruction of the Spanish fleet com
pletely overshadows any dcalro on his part
to administer rebuke to the Raleigh's com
mander. Should Captain Coghlnn retire at
all , which now seems unlikely , It will not be
because of the German Incident , but In
keeping with usages of the Navy depart
ment , or In the event of the captain him
self desiring .shore leave This Information
conus nlmost direct from the president him
self , whoso personal and official gratltudo to

Injured. Tor two bourn not much was ac
complished , as all was confusion , hut by 8
o'clock twenty-five dead bodies had been
taken from the ruins , It Is confidently ex
pected thnt the list of dead will reach be
tween fifty nnd sixty , If It does not exceed
that. Almoot 1,000 people were moro or leas
