After the long stretches of sea runs, after the hospitable enter tainment of the people of South America, after four months of foreign scenes and tongues, after the desolate shores of Magdalena bay, after more than 13.000 miles from their Starting place in December last—people of their own race apd blood, people with arms outstretched, people whose patriotism anil pride in the navy is only’ equalled by .their pride of state and who are anxious that the stay of the sailor men in California shall, live "long in the memory of the bluejacketed sailors. Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, who is ill at Paso Robles hot springs, will not be aide to be present during any of tlie celebrations in this city and it is considered extremely doubtful if he will be able to participate in any of the fetes south of San Francisco.
