San Francisco, July IA.
The Regulars, recruits, and en-
cheering corp, boarded the trans.
ports which go to Manila, and will
sail tomorrow if no orders are receiv-
ed to the contrary. Other transports
have not been engaged as announced
before, and no other troops will leave
until the first transports return here
The remainder of the New York
regiment arrived this morning and
have pitched their tents on the sand
two blocks west of us. They are
much pleased with their trip but
they do not like to sleep ON the sand
Nothing can be learned regarding
the disposal of the Goth Kansas, but
this morning during the course of
Col. Funston's lecture he said: There
is no use To whimper about 1t, but
there is no one keeping us here but
your own actions. The school of the
soldier is not being rigidly lived up
to, and, though we are doing well,
there are many who must change
their ways" He assured us that we
would move toward Manila In about
thirty days if sufficient progress was
made by those who had to be con-
stantly lacked up for disobeyipg
military rules. The Colonel made
good speech and drove the nail
square home. So far as drilling Is
concerned, Gen. King says we are
better drilled than any of the troops
now here or that have gone before.
When Col, Funston's assurance comes
true, there will be lot of the hap
piest Kansans that ever went to bed.
Most OF the boys are well, and those
who are not are getting better

that pocket-book and coin out here.

From Camp Merritt.

The following extracts are taken
from letter dated July 10, from one
of the boys at Camp Merritt:

in Arizona, then Cuba, then Homo

announced that we will spend the
summer here or go back to Kansas
and be mustered out. A II of these
rumors are taken seriously and all
seem to come from reliable source
The next day comes new rumor to
crowd the preceding one out of the
mind of the private. All are in
doubt, even the Col. Gen. Otis in an
interview in tOday's Examiner says
that all the troops here will even
tually go to the Philippines. The
great trouble now Is in getting trans
ports. Ths night of the

how rapidly the news spread.

Celebrated. A Lot OF the Jokes with

themselves.
San Francisco, July 5.

San Francisco, July 5.
If anyone here ever doubted the
patriotism of Kansas, II has been re-
moved. On the evening of the 81
inst, at 10 o'clock p. NJ. the news
reached camp of the destruction OF
Cerveras fleet and probable TALL of
Santiago on the 4th; thei 10 was that
the boys were GU of their tents in a
few minutes, shouting, firing their
guns, the band playing, the officers
running about as bad as any trying
to learn few details. # was an hour
and half that the boys chased about
camp half dressed and shouting the
good news before the Colonel could
persuade them TO get to bed. The
other regiments were as bad as Kan
cas- as soon as they learned the news
Down town the people were nearly
crazy, and many got out Of their beds
at midnight to buy "extras."
Yesterday was the Fourth-a quiet
day it was, too, for most of the sold
iers. A bout IS per cent. of the 10000
troops, were out on parade through
the city and did not retHrn till about
dinner time. In the afternoon every
body except the guards was permit
ted to so where they pleased until IL
p. m. Though those who had made
the long march were tired, they
soon disappeared from camp, many
not returning until nearly morning
But it was big day anyway, and
some had more fun than others.

An Old lola Boy Who Was IN the
Ranks Tells the Story of the
Santiago Fight.

Clifton ID, Scott, a nephew of the
editor Of the REGISTER, is a private
In the Oklahoma troop of the "Rough
Riders" and was at the front in the
terrific fight near Santiago. In a
letter to his home folks, written the
day after the battle, he tells the story
OF the fight as 1t appeared TO private

is about as vivid u picture of war as
