OiiAvi ) ISLAND , Neb , Sopt. 3. [ Special
'elegram to Tun BKI : . | This has boon the
liveliest day Camp Sherman has experienced.
In anticipation of the great parade , the
.veterans had everything In readiness , so
much so indeed that , when they assembled
on the bioud avenue In fiont of Commander
Teeter's quarters , they were compelled to
nwalt the assignment of the bands to enable
them to tnko part In the annual march.
The band assignment was made by Acting
Adjutant Uowen , with some assistance from
Ralph Platto. The task was a difficult one ,
because the musical organizations , In at
tempting to reach the quarters to which they
had neon accredited , wcro compelled to wedge
ithelr way llko a snow plow through the
dense mass of humanity which thronged the
"thoroughfare. " At length the line was formed
and the move was made toward tbo city.
The sun was warm and hundreds of voi-
crans feared to tcrnpt It in a march of four
miles. Those accordingly remained In-enmp ,
but the great majority could not forego the
excitement of the parade.
The column , headed by the Second Regi
ment band , moved through the business
district. At the head rode Commander
Teeter of Lincoln , followed bv Assistant
Adjutant Bowen , Lincoln , Quartermaster
Sttoight of I'lattsmouth , Inspector General
Parks of Ord , Junior Vice Commander Hull
of Mliulcn and Medical Director Johnson of
Goring , all of the commander's stall. Then
came Governor Tliayor mounted upon
u shapely bay and attended by
Us staff in full military uniform. Ilosido the
governor rode Captain H. H. Corloss , Eighth
Infantry , representing the Inspector general
of the United States army. The staff afllosrs
formed a most Imposing body of men.
Then came the militia , and a thousand fe
male hearts beat ardently with the
hopa of catching an admiring glance
from the heroes of Pine Ridge.
At their head rode General Colby. Accom-
> wpaiiylng the uonoral was his richly uniformed
A stnff riding steeds wlrich danced to martial
" " music.
Then came the drum corps of the Second
regiment , fourteen young men , keeping
awake the echoes with the din which has
prevailed in the camp during the pust week.
These were followed by the regiment , march
ing in fours , with a swinging gait ,
showing that they are beginning to fall into
-ho style of thoiogularsoldior. The regiment
Twos under the command of Colonel Bills.
I'horo were ten companies in line , A of Kearney -
noy , Captain E. F. Brown ; B of Ord , First
Lieutenant George W. Hall ( Captain J. L.
MoDonough being absent owing to his ap
pointment as ofllcor of the dftv ) ; C of Ne
braska City , Captain S. H. Morrison ; D of
Fairoury , Captain J. Hoasly ; E of Cnadron ,
Captain F. J. Smith ; F of Hay Springs ,
Captain B. E. White ; G of Long Pine , Cap
tain E. E. Weeks ; H of Tokamah , Captain
O. F. Hook ; I of Stromsburg , Captain C.
Eroe ; 1C of Schuylor , Captain A. F. Rol-
uccko.
Following the Second came the band of the
First regiment. Tnero were ton companies
In line : A of York , commanded by Captain
V. F. Osiborno ; B of Fiillertou , Captain J. T.
Smith ; C of Beatrice , First Lieutenant F. E.
Bourne ; D of Lincoln , Contain W. C.
Rhoads ; E of FramontCaptain E. D. Percy ;

Geneva , Captain G. C. Black ; H of Nelson ,
Captain G. Lyons ; I of Bennett , Captain G.
R.Wilson ; 1C of Central City , Captain E.
Hanson.
Captain C. M. Murdock's battery of two
guns , followed. The guns were manned by
thirty-three men , who with their dreaded
Instruments of noise and death , attracted the
greatest amount ot Interest.
The cavalry brought up the rear , thlrty-
cipht men under Captain J. H. Culver of
Mllford , bearing themselves with grace upon
tholr steeds. The latter were of all sizes and
colors but not of all conditions. They showed
good treatment nnd lacked but uniformity of
color and size , deficiencies which the captuln
Is endeavoring gradually to supply , hoping
before long to have the command enjoy the
title of "Black Ilorso" cavalry.
Mnruhuij ; oC the Veterans.
Then there was a wait of llvo minutes.
Everybody thought the veterans had
abandoned the march. The old men had
Tfhnply boon distanced. The rtyht ot the
great line was composed of young men who
could take a regulation step for miles with
out wearying. But youth had forever Hod
from % the veterans. Wounds had crippled
them nnd disease had weakened them. The
innrllul strain aroused n feeling to which the
limbs could not respond. Accordingly , when
the bend of the veterans reached ono
end of the city , the guards had emerged from
the other. The nld mon , however , were received
coivod with the liveliest evidences of honor
nnd respect. Their reception along thu prin-
viSpal thoroughfare was an ovation. It was
\ n ovation which was not ungrateful to the
soldier heart , because the heroes returned
with Interest the chcurj which uroocod them
on all sides ,
Illinois , the homo of Lincoln and of Grant ,
was given the right of the lino. She was
represented by 300 aged men under the com
mand of General J. C. Uilworth of Hastings.
At their head marched the Western band.
Following thu Illinoalsans was the beautiful
stallion , Llmlon Tree , presented to General
Grant by the sultan of Turkey. The animal
was led by a groom.
Then vanio Ohio's men , proud of the sons
the state has sent to all parts of the country
only to distinguish themselves , stcpplntr to
the music of Overtoil's band. Accompanying
them were u number of tholr wives and
children. They were marshalled by E.Whit-
tukorof Uuubar.
Iowa's sons were headed by the West
Point Juvenile baud , which it may bo men
tioned may bo considered ono of the most
promising muslcnl.organliutlons In the state ,
E. A. Soxotf of llox Elder was marshal and
his assistant was John Ilonza of Onmhu , who
would rather fast a week than fall to attend
a reunion.
The great Hooslor state follonod the
Hawkoyos under the leadership of A. C.
I.ogau of Cruluhton. the muslo being fur
nished by the Osceola band.
At the head of the Wisconsin contingent
nppoarod a novelty , a drum corps , every
member of which had furnished Inspiring
strains to desperate soldiers In the lace of
the enemy. The body was marshaled by L.
IJ. WoscotU The banner berne had an eagle
embroidered with beads in commemoration

The boys from the state of Lewis C ss nnd
General Algor enjoyed a "double-header"
band , both the Ifountzo Plnco drum corps of
Omaha and the St. Paul band dlscoitrsliig

rounded. The movement was In compliance
with the command of thu captain , "West
Virginia salute. "
Missouri rolled along after Mnrihol Frank
A. Whlttomoru ot Long Pine nnd the Edgar
band.
In the Nebraska contingent there were
only twelve sound's , ono of whom was Lieu
tenant Governor Majors of this stato. They
marchad behind the Geneva baud , composed
in greater part of Indian boys from the gov
ernment school at that place.
Miunesatu , Kentucky and Tennessee were
unused In ono organization nnd had only a
few men oven then. Ono of these bore n red

The Lushton bund furnished music nnd M.

Then came the Sons of Veterans , 100
strong , under tno command of Lieutenant
Colouol Hartman of Kearney , 'Tho detach
ment comprised delegates irom several posts.
The boys stepped to the strains of the Loup
City and Archer bands. A dotall of them
liaulod the historic gun which was sent heio
yours ago as a defense against the Indians.
There were about 1,000 veterans In line and
ns a whole thov marched bettor than any sim
ilar number of old soldiers over did in a state
reunion. They have no reason to feel other
wise than satisfied with the grand rccoptlou
to which thnv were treated.
The Daughters of Veterans rode in carry

The grand review of Nebraska National

Sopt. 3. [ Now York Herald Cable-Special
to TIIK BIB.J In accordance with your
cabled Instructions I have investigated tbo
report that the Into president , Haltnacoda ,
lind been killed by ono of the man who are
crossing the mountains with him. No such
report bus boon heard here so far as 1 can
ascertain , and nothing is known of the fugi
tive since ho left Los Andes. The probabili
ties nro very strongly against the story being
true , for if lialmaccda had boon killed it is
long odds that the members of the Junta
would have hoard of it. I showed them the
cable dispatch and they expressed surprise
at the report of the rumor.
Senor Errazur/.l , the provisional minister
of foreign affairs , requoits mo to thank the
people of the United States through the col
umns of the Herald for the sympathy which
bos been shown by them for the congres
sional course during the long struggle which
has so happily ended.
The steamer Aroqiilpn arrived nt Val
paraiso from Iqulquo last evening with
Senor Waldo Silva , vice president of the
senate , and Senor Uamon Bares Luco ,
sneaker of the house of representatives , Who ,
with Senor Jorge Montt , comprize the junta
doglbieriio. Senor Errazuriz , the provisional
minister of foreign affairs , and other prom
inent congressional loaders are aboard. They
were received In style with great enthusiasm.
The British warship Champion dressed ship
and manned the yards. As the Aroqulpa
entered the bay a national salute was ilred
from the forts , and at tholr landing the
ofllcials were greeted with music , fireworks
and applause ,
The question of the disposition of the
refugees has boon finally settled , and tomor
row the United States steamer Baltimore ,
and a Gorman man-of-war will leave for
Porn with all the refugees aboard. A final
conference was bold aboard Admiral Brown's
flagship , the San Francisco , last night , and
the question as to who should nnd who
should not rocolvo guarantees was discussed.
The German and American admirals
worked through tholr respective min
isters at Santiago , and were Informed
l > y thorn that the junta would , under no
circumstances , give any guarantees as to the
recent President-Elect Claudio Vicuna , Senor
Barrados , Osoar Vial , Godoy Peraz Moult ,
Captain Fountes , Senor Salva or Colonel
Pantos. The cases of the others were kept
under advisement until this morning , when
the admirals were Informed that no guaran
tees would bo given at all. When this word
was received it was decided that the two
inen-of-war with refugees wouldleavo for the
north.
The American and Gorman war ships nro
closely watched day and night by the author
ities and this mav have given nso to the talk
in foreign circles that an effort might
bo made to prevent the sailing of
the Baltimore and the German ships ,
nnd to take the refugees away from them
by force. There is really no reason so far as
I can learn to believe that any such stop is
in contemplation. All the nowsnanor sun-
porters of the late government are marked
men and will have to leave the country if
they can. . This is particularly the case in regard -
gard to Major Henor.-UM who vv < w In-
tondonto Vill's paymaster nnd an editor of
the Uolotln , and Saner Lowonstoln , They
will probably be shot in short order If they
are found. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

ial to'L'unUr.i : . ] The torpodobo.it Almiranto
Condoll and the armed transport Imporlalo ,
the last armed forces loyal to the late Prdsl-
dent Balmncoda of Chili , were formally sur
rendered to the Chilian minister here today ,
aud word was immediately sent to the Junta
do gobornio at Santiago that the two vessels
were at their disposal.
The Cotidoll , under ; the command of Cap
tain Morago , sailed from Valparaiso as convoy
to the Imporialo on August 22 , two days after
iho landing of the congressional army nt
Qulntoro bay. The mission of the two ships
was to transport troops from Coqulubo to
Talcuanho. On tholr arrival at Coqulnbo
they received news that Balmacoda had met
with defeat at the hands of the congression-
allsts. At that Captain .Morago decided to
suspend the transportation of troops and proceed -
ceod to Callao , a neutral oort , where orders
could bo received from the government as to
what courio to pursue. The Condoll nnd
Imporlulo steamed Into port this morning and
for the llrst time heard of the. defeat of the
*
Bnlmacodlsts nt Valparaiso , the flight of
Balmacoda , the tall of Santiago and the com
plete triumph of the junta , and decided to
surrender.
Captain Mora ra had been particularly
active in all the operations a sea against the
revolutionists and felt that It would hardly
bo safe for him to return to Chill. After
consultation with the Chilian minister ho
decided to formally hand ever the two ships
to that ofllclal as the rapresontativo of the
government. The transfer was mndo today
nnd the minister cabled to the junta as to

Counsel In tlic Davis Wjll C.IHO Begin
Their Arguments.
BUTTE , Mont. , Sent. 3 , The closing scenes
In the celebrated Davis will ? case are now
being enacted. All the testimony has 'been
taken and most of tbo delegation ot witnesses
have started for tholr horaesj ,
Colonel Ingoroll , for the contestants , will
speak tomorrow. This morhlng the argu
ments by oounsol were begun by Judge
Dixon for the proponents , who said : "This
case now resolves Itself into two propositions
was the will written , as wo claim , at the
homo of Jam'os Davis in IStiO , and is it genu
ine , or was it abrogated by the so-callod
Knight will ? Their theory Is j that in 1800
J. K. Eddy , an illiterate man , conceived
the scheme of forging the will
aud sits down to write. Npt Satisfied with
sayiug this will was a forgery ; they claim
that was done away wlfit'jjy the Knight
will. That rests upon the testimony of Mr.
Knight , his memory Is ono of the most pecu
liar I have ever mot ; at first ho thought the
will was made In 1877 or 1878 , nnd , after being
pinned down , said it was the winter of 1831.
I think the true theory is that Mr. Knight
really did draw up a will for Judge Davis ,
but it was not signed nnd Simply given to
keep , and that is the reason ho cannot roincm-
bar dates oottor. "
Ho was followed by Attorney Morris for-
the contestant. Ho said : "Wo huvo courted
the truth in the case , and have sought for
nothing elso. i tnko first the question of re
vocation : but little was said about it. Tho'00
i\ill was broughtlnto court , which wo say was
never urawn , and if it had been , a second
will had boon drawn about 1880 , which revoked -
vokod the first will. How did proponents
moot this claim i They say if the 1S70 will
was over revoked it was duly ropubllshod.
They said the Knight will was dostrovod
about 1SS2 , which closed the case , unless Mr.
Davis republished the will of ISM. Nothing
short of ropubllc-atlon would have revoked
that first will. In their pleadings they claim
that the will of 180G was ropubllsuoif after
1682. Now wo como to the proposed will. Do
you think it likely that Judge Davis would
have ignored his father , who was
then near his death , to give sup
port to Jeff and Pot Davis and a
woman who had n husband , -and to give
everything to his brother John ! la it likely
that A. J. Davis did not know that Miss

WASHINGTON , O. C. , Sopt. H. Secretary
Rusk today reoclvcd'onlelal notice that the
' .ionium government had raised the embargo
in American pork. The agroe.iiont rela
tive to the admission of pork into
Cicrmany was signed ut Capo May Point
nbout ton days ago , but nt the request or the
Herman government the fact was withheld
from the public press until ollloial action
fould bo lakon by the homo government.
The agreement not only provides for the ad
mission of our pork Into Germany , but also af
fords to the Unltod Stilton the sanif schedule
with reference to our farm products as that
unjoyod by Russia. Secretary Uusk Is con
fident that ho will soon bo able to extend our
nmiki't for corn by inuoduuing it into Ger
many for nso as an urticlo of food in tha
plnco of rye , the crop of which , In Germany ,
Is thin year exceedingly short. To this end
ho has instructed his corn agent , Colonel C.
J. Murphy , now in Europe , to proceed at
3iico to Berlin and lay the mattur before tha
Liorman government.
Can Supply the Oi'inand.
WmiiNnroN , Sopt. ! i. "Oil no , if Ger
many will receive our saltud park and bacon
after it has undergone inspection , there will
bo no trouble in supplying that market , "
said Secretary Rusk yesterday In response
to an inquiry by a correspondent. Ho con
tinued : "About l.SOJ carcasses are being
Inspected dnily , which , at an average of 200
pounds each , Is equal to 240,00. . > pounds , or
1MO,000 pounds a weok. That the work Is
thoroughly done I am satisllod by parional
observation ai well ns by the reports of in
spectors. If anybody can tlnd a i > ioco of
diseased moat which has passed tha inspec
tors I shall be greatly surprised. Of course ,
If it shall bo neiossary , the Jamount In
spected daily can bo increased at least one-
third , making the total for each woolt nonrly
13,000,000 pounds. Inspectors nro now sta
tioned ut Milwaukee as well ns Chicago , nnd
applications havu boon received fiom Knnsas
City and Unmhn , which will receive duo con
sideration. "
According to Secretary Rusk's informa
tion , the corn crop of this year promises to
ho an unusuiillv largo ono It Is rather late ,
but by September 1 , > or JO ho thinks it will
bo out of the way of tbo frost. llo is also of
of the opinion that the surplus of pork and
uacon for exportation will bo about or above
the average , the reports , as well as his own
extensive parsounl observation and inquiries ,
indicating that tha nuinbar of swine has In
creased somewhat and that they are in un
usually good condition. It is probable , however -
over , that the surplus of com for expert will
bo unusually largo , and it is not imposslblo
that the domain ) for it on the continent of
Europe may bo stimulated by the short sup
ply of wheat , rvo and other cnroals. It has
boon suggested that it is barelv possible that
ioniooftho European countrius may sus
pend or modify , temporarily nt least , the
lutlos on Indian corn and corn inoal , and
