la, Is receiving at the time nineteen dollars a month, plus twenty per cent. increase allowed by act of congress for service in actual campaign, and when he is paid off gets in addition to his pay $106 for every twenty miles of the dis tance from Manila to the place of his enlistment. If that happens to be Port land, Me-, he has tidy stake to begin civil life on. If he chooses to re-enlst and to leave his surplus money in the paymaster's hands, he gets four per cent. interest on this money, and at the end of three years, when he is dis charged, he may be somewhere in the eastern states and will then be entitled to travel pay back to Manila, which, with the sum he may have on interest, will leave him quite small fortune. It is no uncommon thing for private soldiers of long service to have several hundred dollars at interest in the pay masters hands, and cases are not in- freotlent in Manila where men have been dis harged at eyp'ra ton of ser vice and have received nearly one thou sand dollars travel money. There are already quite a number of men whose time has run out, and the list is in- crea sing very fest. One or two were discharged on the transports on the way out and were paid their travel money back to the place where they were enlisted. Several discharged men have already re-enlisted, induced, no doubt, by the prospect of travel money for the distance across the Pacific ocean when their time is out. One dis obo roed man darided to raioir hi. oor, pany, and was sworn in just before the battalion went up to the trench s. He was the first man killed that day This incident discouraeed re-enlistment for time, but it's effect has worn of now that hostilities have ceased. New York Sun.

charged with dsorderly conduct. She
was found guilty of the charge and her
fined fixed at sc and costs.
