| The California boys aboard the trans
| ports are looking for the men who sent
back to the States reports of outrageous
| doings Of the boys in blue on the first
/ transports to Manila.
| They say it had such an effect on the
| powers that the men We're put under
! the very strictest orders to refrain from
! loud noises on board ships or on shore
They must not cheer. They should not
even wave Old Glory. The worst par'
| of the whole thing is that not a cent o1
their two months pay will be given the
! men for fear that they will create
| trouble in the town.
