BY HENRY JAMES.

\ last our soldiers are away on
 ~ the broad Pacific. They went n from among people who loved them and the flag they have taken oath to defend. They went as guns were booming. whistles shrilling an adieu, flags waving, coIors dipping, women weeping. They went amid the pray CTS of the people and a shower of bless ings. Their last sight of San Fran cisco showed them the hills black with unwonted life the wharves damned and on the roofs of houses the silhouettes against the evening sky of those who sent them forth to victory or to find graves on a distant shore. Joy and sorrow mingled in the farewell.
 How shall the scene of their go- ing be described? What pen shall portray the glorious sight the beauty of 1t, and the pathos? It was long after noon. 4 rumor had flashed across the city that the ships which had been swinging in the stream were to sail. The people had watched the soldiers go aboard. They had crowded about the sons of California and Ore gon and the faithful regulars to say a final word as they passed through the streets, to give a handclasp, perhaps a flower. They had withheld no tribute of tear nor benediction. But now the boys were going out the Golden Cats, dreary days and miles, and the hearts of the people were touched anew. They thronged to the water front by hun dreds and by thousands. They car ried the stars and stripes. With one accord they sought to make the last moments of their boys a time of cheer and laughter What of the horrors of war and the bray lives going to bat tie? War was over sea. Here was youth and buoyancy. Here was the good blood of the nation going to up- hold the honor of us all, going willing ly and gladly. Did the eyes grow misty the tears came all unbidden and were hastily brushed away Did lump come into the throat the sob was changed to a shout, and from the laden ships would come a shout in answer. a very jubilation.
 Out in the bay were the City of Pc king, the Australia and the City of Sydney. From every mast waved the flag. Into the rigging and upon the yard arms swarmed the soldiers. They leaned over the railing, hailed their 1T1enQS, JeSIeQ WlIn SlTIS WnO IauSneQ and cried. There was no sign of re- gret- Some, indeed, did look toward the hills of the city and their faces grew wistful, but only for an instant They would come back; of course they would come back, and again there would be music and the f1utter of flags. They would come back as heroes. They did not seem to know that they went as heroes, and that the blare of the hour, the tumult was for them as much as for the cause for which they take up arms The undercurrent of sorrow was hid deep.
 Never in recent years has the bay been so animated. About the three ships there circled various craft, all full. all dressed as for a gala day There were bands which played pa triotic airs, and one played Annie Laurie" As the old sweet melody struck across the dancing waters, 'Fd lay me doom and dee," it touched a chord so tender and subtitle that for a space sl- lence fell. Brave, bonny lads. They

THEY'RE READY TO QUIT
TROOPS AT SAN FRANCISCO WANT
TO BE MUSTERED OUT.
Officers Are Trying to Suppress the
Movement. but the Men Are More
Determined Than Ever.

San Francisco, Aug. 20.-The men of
almost every one of the volunteer regi-
ments are circulating petitions to the
secretary of war requesting that they
be mustered out of service. There are
very few of the officers with whom this
movement has any countenance, and
every effort is being made to suppress
il. In the goth Kansas regiment the
suppression of one petition by the Off
GERS led only to a more vigorous one
being placed on foot. Ninety-seven in
one company have signed the petition,
and all the other companies of the regi-
ment have a large showing. Several
men in the 9TH California volunteers
have started a similar petition with a
much smaller number of names, how
ever, and the list Washington volun-
teers have drafted an appeal to Secre-
tary Alger begging for release from
military duties.

aware of the arrival at Hong Kong Of a

Reported insurgent raids in Cuba have
caused considerable comment in official
