Up to early last evening Col. Thomas II. Bar
Der, commander of tho First. had received 10
orders directing him to go to Santiago instead
OF to Manila. He was surprised to henr thai
such a change was contemplated. Other ofl-
GERS of the regiment were equally surprised.
They thought there must be some mistake. and
that the order must have been meant for the
Twenty-second New York.
While the officers Of the First reasoned in thiH
fashion, they said they had no complaint tn
make ifthey were really going TO Cuba instead OF
to the Philippines. They said they volunteered

they were sent so long as they were sent soue-
where. They figured that they would be alle

would be wero they TO 60 TO Manila.
The contract for transporting tho First to San
Francisco has not been cancelled. From this
fact an army officer expressed the opinion To a
Sun reporter yesterday afternoon that the or-
der which sent the First to Santiago. unless 10
were countermanded. would he followed by
one ordering the Twenty-second to tho Philips
pines. He believed that was the Governments
intention because the order for Transportation
had not been cancelled.
This officer pointed out that. as the tourist
sleepers ordered for the First had to be brought
from Chicago and Omaha. tho Government
would have Immediately notified the Erie Rail-
road that the cars were not wanted. had It been
tho intention to send no regiment from here 70

IL it Is not changed. really means that the
Twenty-second is booked for the Philippines.

Red Cross has asked OF tho War Department
permission to send the nurses to Santiago on
the first available Government transport. Al
though no reply to this request was received
yesterday Mr.. Barton said that he had no doubt
that it would be granted. DR.. Nuno2 and L. Il.
