FROM TRANSPORT TO CAMP THROUGH CHEERING CROWDS Royal Welcome Cheers and the Presidio. the greatest sensation was the line of ambulances carrying the men who were not able to stand the long walk from the wharf to the Presidio. There were ten of them, all filled with pale, emaciated soldiers, some with crutches beside them, some with heads band- aged, some with their arms in slings and all showing plainly in look and at- titude what the island war is costing. The sick men were cheered to the e and they livened up and cheered b; Men shouted words of encouragement HERE were more flags, more cheers, more whistles and more entht sm yesterday as the Nebruska men and the Utah men marched up Market street on their way to the Presidio. There were thousands of welcomers on the | wharf and there were thousands more | along the line of the parade. There was a whistle going wherever there | was a fasiory or an engine of any kind, and the steam blown away in adding to ¢ din would carry the sol- diers back again to Manila, did they wish to go. The troops left the transport at 9 o'clock and formed on the: dock, the regiment in front and the two batteries of artillery in the rear. The escort sent from the Presidio formed on East street and waited for the word. When it came and the newcomers marched lice and threw flowers into the ambu- lances, and all along the line the course of the hospital wagons was.one of tri- umph. At the corner and Bush street the troops were re- viewed by General Shafter and Gover- nor Poynter of Nebraska, and then = R ¥ ] ¥ ] ¥ ¥ ¥ ] ¥ ¥ S 22N IR e o i ; | commenced. the transport in hea with this exception They left their guns and re- marching order the Utah men had no ar volvers in the Philippines with the men of the Third Artillery, and they car- ried only their blankets and haver- sac ch man had one meal in his haversack to guard against letting the | men go hungry should anything delay | the commissary department, but there was no delay except from the late ar- | rival of the troops and before 1 o'clock | to them and women broke past the po- | the mess call was sounding merrily | | down the company streets. | The Webraska Regiment has been as- | | the signed to the tents adjoining those of Oregon Regiment and the Utah of Van Ness avenue|men have been put on the hill over-| | looking the camp on the old parade | ground.

The regimental flag of | the Nebraskans is little more than a| shred and their national colors are | worse; the guidons of the Utah bat- teries are torn to ribbons, and the col- ors in all of them are faded and dim. But the men are very proud of them and they will hold the place of honor among the treasures of the States from which they came. The mascot of the Utah batteries marched with his comrades, proudly bearing the silver cup the batterymen had won on the baseball field at Ma- nila. There was a tournament held by teams from six of the regiments and the Utah men won the trophy. The mascot is Robert Donohue, a lad of twelve years of age, who has been with the batteries since they left home a year ago. He was in three battles with | the troops, one at San Fernando and | two at the waterworks, but he came|out to the camp where as quickly as out of them all unscathed. possible they were assigned to quarters The part of the parade that created Land the work of preparing dinner was Fr e s e ke ke ke ok ok ok ok ke ke ok ke okok ok e A ok ok ok +* T M P En R Em R P Mem R P RN M after reaching the Presidio they were drawn up in line on the inner parade ground and the Governor them briefly and gave them greeting. He referred to their brilliant work and their uncomplaining obedience and he ended by declaring that Nebraska was proud of her sons. The troops yere reviewed once more by Governor Poynter, Adjutant General Barry of Nebraska and Adjutant Gen- eral Charles S. Burton of Utah. The Utah men lined up with the Nebraska men and marched past the reviewing officers with them. addressed | The men were then marched at once | So far no programme for the govern- ment of the troops has been outlined, | but it is certain that they will be given the fullest liberty. There was a small perform. what they can do and what is forbid- den. The work of mustering out the men from the Hancock will take three weeks anyway. The Utah batteries may be finished inside of two weeks, for on the way over Major Grant had his officers and they are ready for the mustering officer now. Besides there will be very | little in the way of a property settle- { ment in the case of the batteries, for | they left most of their property with | the military establishment in Manila. praise of the way in which they have been received and loudest of them all is Governor Poynter. He is going back to Nebraska probably this evening and | he declares he will make a most flattér- | ing report of the homecoming of the regiment when he gets there. “I will say to the people of Nebraska,” he said yesterday, ‘“that the men could not have been more heartily welcomed had they belonged to this city instead of They marched up from| Je s e e e e e sk sk ke e e e ok ke e ke Aok A e Tk ok ke e ok e ke e ke ke ok ROK NN R K KK K K XN X X N KX KXY guard set yesterday afternoon, but it | | had not much in the way of duty to To-day the men will be told | | prepare most of the necessary papers | Every one of the men is loud in his| for the Men From Utah and Nebraska Returning From Manila.

He came to be on hand when the batteries landed and to consult with Major Grant on how to | get the men home. We will not let the batteries be scattered,” said he yester- day. “Our boys have done too well to allow them to break away from each other now. We will bring them home together and we will give them a recep- tion at Salt Lake that they will long remember.” All the men who came in Saturday | | night have been provided with warm clothing. The Nebraska men, in addi- | tion to heavy underclothes which they drew while on their way here, will be furnished with a chest protector apiece, the chest protectors having been sent out from -home by their own State. The Utah men have also drawn heavy | clothing, so there will be no increase ot the sick list from cold or exposure. Every tent has a stove and plenty of coal, every men h blanket and a straw mattre: had for the filling of it; there is plenty to eat and there is nothing to do but rest, so the life of the troops from now until they start East should have but the one care—to see their native States | again. The Nebraska boys owned the Orph- eum last evening and will continue in control to-night and to-morrow night. Owing to the exertions of the citizens’ | executive committec the entire regi- ment will see the splendid entertain- ment provided at this popular house. Yesterday afternoon a representative of the citizens' executive committee and a representative of the Orpheum went out to the Presidio and presented Colonel Mulford with 469 tickets for last night's performance. Of these nineteen were for the officers and 350 were distributed among the men of the regiment and 100 among the members of the Utah Battery. This afternoon 454 tickets will be distributed among the soldiers and to-morrow night all who have not seen the performance will | be made welcome. The soldiers thoroughly enjoyed the | programme last night and there were so many encores that it was late before | the last number was given. A section in the center of the house had been re- served for the men and when a num- ber pleased them a thunder of applause went up from that quarter that set everybody else applauding. After their year's service in Manila a night in the Orpheum seemed like fairyland to the war-worn soldier boys. After the en- tertainment they returned to camp sat- jsfied that they are really and truly home again and that there are some pleasures left in life after all. - TRANSPORTS GOING NORTH The Morgan City and the St. Paul to Sail for Seattle. As soon as they can be made ready the transports Morgan City and St. Paul will Jeavethis port for Seattle, where they will take on the Third Cavalry, which is under orders to sail from that place for Manila.
