The indications are now that the
9th Illinois volunteers will sail from
Porto Rico on the Seneca toward the
latter end of the week. The oldham
starts tomorrow with the I'd Wis
consin and Gen. Miles and his staff.
and the Chester. Ute, Alamo and
Concho follow with other troops and
accoutrements. The Seneca. now at Ar
ecibo will, it is expected. depart toward
the end of the week. There will be
5000 men sailing for New York.
They will land at the foot of Thirty
ninth street, Brooklyn, and after rest
ing few days will parade over the
bridge and down to Wall street and
thence to Central Park as the army
of Porto Rico. The troops will be
mustered out soon thereafter, and our
boys will then come home.
Report of Retention.
1t looked yesterday as if the 9th
might be retained in Porte Rico in
definitely, after all. Gov. Tanner has
had his meddlesomc finger in the
management of the army again. He
has been in Washington looking after
the disposition of troops, and has
succeeded in getting the 1st, 9Th and
9TH mustered out, and Saturday
night Tanner was told by Adjt. Gen.
COrbin that the dismissal of the three
regiments desired would necessitate
the retention of the I'd, Sd. 4th, 9th,
Sth and 9th infantry in the service.
1t seems, however. that the order
mastering out the 9th preceded this
action.
