Then they rushed aboard of the | transport, and for the rest of the day | had possession of the ship. Troops could not possibly wish for a more sinccregreet- | ing than those Tennessee boys received | from the people who had traveled across | the contin to meet them at the Goiden Gate. When the Indiana was off Alcatraz the | military prisoners were transferred to the | island on the tug Fearless and their de- | parture from the ship was a great relief | to the officers and every man on board. From the time they were taken aboard | at Cavite they have been a source of con- | tinual worriment to those in charge of | the ship. Lest Monday night the trouble | with them reached a climax, when they broke through the bulkhead separating | their quarters from the commissary store | room and secured several cases of whisky. Had they been modecrate in con- suming it the theft would probably not have been discovered until after the | transport had docked, and the melee that | followed might have been averted. prisoners, however, attempted a time in consuming every | s in the storeroom. They made some headway and about 10 o’clock | The at night they became veritable demons and broke loose. With a sudden rush | they splintered the wooden bars that formed the front of their prison and scat- | tered over the ship. The onslaught was so sudden that the guards were taken un- awares and the situation became serious. The men are reported to be of the most desperate class—ecriminals and outlaws who managed to joln the army without | the recruiting officers learning of their true characters. With thelr vicious na- | ture Intensified by the liquor, they be- came bloodthirsty and vengeful and ran ver the ship threatening to kill any one who dared to check them. When the offi- cers became aware of the situation all of the available men were called to duty and a fearful hand to hand combat en- sued. The drunken prisoners fought with viclousness. It was an act of providence that they had not secured arms in their mad run over the vessel, for there was murder in them, and they would not have hesitated to kil Commands to surrender seemed to make them more determined to take possession of the transport. They rushed at the sol- diers with their fists and had to be clubbed hack with the butt ends of rifles and pistols. The orders had been given to the soldiers not’to shoot, unless as a fore they were quelled. A dozen or more of the ringleaders of the revolt were put in irons, while the rest of them were placed in solitary confinement and kept on a diet cf bread and water. What fur- ther punishment may be meted out to them when their action is formally re- ported to the authorities is problematical. The pathetic incldent of the trip oc. curred shortly after the Indiana cast an- chor in the stream. Private Frank F.

They are those of Private Orville Mercer, poral J. C. surgents September B. Price, the victim of September 12; Private Willlam Hanley killed in the charge at El Pardo Septen ber and Private William Parrish, ac- cidentaliy killed March 19. The story of the death of Price has many tragic features. He one of the bravest of the brave of the One night while his com- pany was camped near El Pardo, Cebu, he rushed from his tent in his night clothes and passed the picket line before he was noticed. He had a red cloth wrapped around his head to protect him from the mosquitoes, and in the darkness had the appearance of being a Filipino. When he was noticed beyond the lines e was mistaken for an insurgent and shot by a member of the Sixth Infantr who was doing guard duty. Price's pecn- liar actions were explained by the tact that he was subject to nightmare, and in one of these delirious periods left his ten:. The charge at El Pardo, where Private Hanley lost his life, gave an example cf the fighting stock of which the Tennessee boys are made. The greater part of the regiment embarked at Manila. Several of the companies were at El Pardo, and the Indiana stopped there to pick them Corpors up. The day of their arrival it was dis- covered that the insurgents had in- trenched themselves in a strong position back in the hills. The soldlers, who thought they were through with active service, were ordered to assist in dislodg- ing the Filipinos. It needed no second command. As soon as the Tennesseeans learned that there was fighting to be done they were eager to get at it. They made a rush up the mountain side and, with a | yell that made them famous through the campaign, scared the Filipinos into flight and took possession of their position. They were determined to exterminate every man in the trenches, and undoubt- ediy would have done so had not the enemy fled. When they were packing up, making ready to resume their journey home, a lone Filipino who had hid in a tree shot Hanley through the head. never had an opportunity to tell his com- rades what he had done. The men on the transport complain that | they have been poorly fed on the veyage | the Paco district, south of the river; the and state that five days before reaching port they were put on short rations be- cause it was discovered that the stores had almost been exhausted. The officers deny this and claim the story originated from the natural tendency of the soldier to find fault. The Indiana is in charge of Captain M. H. Morle; J. D. Forbes, first officer; W. A. Morehouse, second; George Toon, third; William Clift, fourth. The officers | of the Tennessee regiment who returned on the transport are: Colonel Grany Childers, Lieutenant Colonel A. B. Bay- liss, First Major John G. McGuire, Second Major William J. Whitthorne, Third Ma- jor A. C. Gillern, First Lieutenant and ‘Adjutant B. Nelson Coffman, First Lieu- tenant ani Quartermaster Patrick L. Stacker, Major and Chief Surgeon Rich- ard A. Barr, Captain and Assistant Sur- geon R. M. Kirby-Smith, Captain and As- sistant Surgeon Percy L. Jones, Captain and Chaplain Rials. The transport will dock this mormiug and the troops will be escorted to the Presidio by a squad of cavalry and a bat tery of artillery.

The two detach- ments arrived at Manila on November 28 and December respectively, going into camp on the Paseo de Santa Lucia.

Early the next morning, by order of General R. P. Hughes, their brigade commander, the First Battalion, under Lieutenant Colonel Childers, reported to General Anderson, in Second Battallion, under Colonel Smith and Major Cheatham, to General Hale, in the Banta Mesa district, where the fight- ing began, and the Third Battalion, under Major McGuire, to General MacArthur, in the Tondo district. Of the gallant work of the three detachments throughout the fighting of the 5th and 6th of February, the press reports spoke in the highest terms and none too highly. The sons of the sires who were in the forefront of the American line on the bloody fleld of Mon- terey and who won a place for the stars and stripes on the bristling heights of Chapultepec, proved on numerous occu- sions that they were worthy representa- tives of the ‘“Volunteer State.” But, though in the very front of battle and in- filcting heavy losses on the enemy, who numerously opposed them, not a man was struck by a ball throughout the whole of the two days’ flghting. The loss of its gallant commander, Colonel W. C. Smith, a veteran Confederate soldier and the hero of many a well-fought fleld, who was stricken with apoplexy just as his men were entering the fight and soon af- ter expired, was mourned by the entire regiment. On February 9 of this year the regi- ment sailed from Manila for Iloilo, Panay Island, where it arrived at 11 p. m. on the 10th. The next day, after a short bombardment of the place by the war ves- sels which accompanied the expedition, the order for landing was given, and within the space of an hour and a half the whole regiment was on shore, and, in con- cert with part of the Eighteenth Infan- try, had driven the enemy, who were in heavy force, from the town, and oc- cupied all the approaches, besides ex- Continued on Page Fifteen. x| CHADBOURNE'S DREAM OF OFFICE IS OVER Gage Orders the Suit Against Herold Dismissed. ‘The Governor Has Refused to Permit His - Victim to Keep the Gold Brick as a Memento of Deceit. | Governor Gage has given another proof | burn be given the pres ency of the Har- | to the public that he does not possess bor Commission, and Gag within him an element that will force him | 9T dut, v‘fld | to be even to his friend: Nl et | More than this, California’s chiet execu- |'Gage to cont tive has demonstrated that after he has | Herold.
