SOLDIERS HOME FROM MANILA.
Thirty of Them Return on the Senator-No
Likin for the Natives.


BAN Francisco. Oct. 4.-The transport Sem
ator arrived to-day with thirty soldiers from
the Philippines. most OF whom are on the sick
list. Six were so i'll from fever and dysentery
that they could not be taken ashore by the
boat. The crew of the Senator had a good op-
%portunity to witness the capture OF Manila. as
she was only five miles away. When the
Senator sailed from Manila the blockade had
been raised and the Olympia was acting as q
floating custom house.
The affairs Of the port had been Strengthened
out and the slow methods of the Spaniards had
given way 10 the more modern system in
troduced b. the American commanders. The
city was being policed and the insurgents held
in check. The foreign and American residents
had no liking for the insurgents. and all who
arrived to-day predicted that the natives would
not be able TO govern themselves.
The regulars on the Senator are all here on
discharge papers. Their time expired several
months ago. but none would leave the service
until Manila had fallen. Corporal Leath OF the
Twenty-third Regulars. who was In the thick
est of the fight, speaks in high forms OF the
work both of the regular and volunteer troops.

The War Department Will Have None to
Spare for Son Q lime.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 4.-The Wal Department
has received many Ieques s for the assignment
OF officers to college faculties and to Governors
STATS in place Of those who were withdrawn at
the beginning OF the Spanish war. The depart
ment has replied TO all these requests that It
would be Impossible for some time to assign
officers to such duties. The roster Of officers
IN tho regular regiments is already greatly de-
pleted by reason OF sickness and the absence
of officers on special duty connected with the
muster out OF volunteers.
The department is making plans to discharge
a large number of volunteer officers. and tho
places thus made vacant must In many cases
DO filled by the assignment OF regulars. These
circum stancao will make 1t impossible for the
and colleges or to Governors stats for some
time,
