PERU ARRIVES FRorf MANILA. Twenty Convalescent Soldiers and
 Marines on Board.

The United States transport Peru reached port last evening and anchored off Meiggs wharf for the night. The voy- age was made from Manila in twenty five days, including short stop at Ma gasaki. The run from that port was made in eighteen days.
 On board the Peru are some twenty soldiers and sailors who have been sick but are now convalescent. Part of them are home on leave, but the time of en- listment of number of them has ex- pired and these are here to await mus tering out. The purser of the Peru and the captain retired immediately after the vessel reached port, and the officers on watch refused either to give the names of the returning soldiers themselves or get them so they might be published as soon as possible for the information of the soldiers relatives.
 It was learned, however, that the only Californian on board is Surrey R. Johns, a corporal in Company E, First Volunteer Infantry. He has been in the hospital sufffring from dysentery, and not .improv- ing, he was sent home. There is also on board Captain Lee Lynn of the commits sary department on his way to Washing ton on special duty; Captain A. B. Petit and Color Sergeant Harry Palmer of the Pennsylvanas.
 At half-past o'clock Monday morning vessel was sighted about nine miles from the Peru, and at that distance was taken for the transport Morgan City, which left Manila two weeks before the Peru.
