The men of the artillery battalion were the first to go. They were lined up by batteries, and the rolls were called, each man_stepping two paces to the front when his name was called, the mustering officer verifying his records. Then the batteries were n;‘urched up to the messroom, and while the discharges were given them. That ended it. They were free to go ang do as they leased, and all the service they had ren- ered, all the work they had done, was crystallized into a bit of paper, a few gold pieces and & memory. Before his men were mustered out Major Rice issued a general order. The relations between the men and officers of the artil- fery battalion have been particularly cor- dial, and Major Rice's order was more in the nature of a good-by from a friend than the words of a commander. The mustering out of the First Regi- ment was similar in every respect, except that there were more men. Major Howell, Major Gilbert and Major Curry, paymas- ters, handled the gold, each paying off a battalion, and the work took but a short time. The property of the men had been drift- ing toward the city ever since the regl ment arrived, and so when the final day came there was little more to go. The records had to be cared for, however, and also the colors, and these were sent down to the old armory in the city early in the | afternoon. vo color sergeants from Company I, the color company, had been appointed, and these will have' charge of the colors and will carry them whenever the flags are paraded. They are Sergeant enry Lemeteyer and Sergeant Harry H Stolzenwald. They were mustered out as color sergeants. In all the First Regiment was paid close to $150,000. Some of the officers responsible for property were not pald, nor will they be until their property returns have been approved at Washington. One man, Cor- poral Clatanoff of Company G, was paid nearly $1100. He was with the Bighteenth United States Infantry in Manila, and re- ceived his discharge there, getting travel ay home. He enlisted in Manila in the irst California, travel pay back to the islands. This, with his regular pay and his extra pay and the travel pay he had deposited made his dealings with the paymaster a matter for envy. AS the California men were going out the Thirty-second Regiment passed in to the Presidio, its men every bit as enthusi- astic as those whose service was over— but for a different_cause. ond is bound for Manila. Tt will spend a few weeks at the Presidio and then con- tinue on its way.
