the place designated by the war de-
pdrtInent Tor their mastering out.
The1r arrival will not be accompanied
oy the cheers Of a multitude. as It
Will be while the air is yet frosty, and
IN a part Of the city not easily acces-
sIble Their coming will, however. not
go unnoticed, for a committee from the
commercial club will visit the Missts-
slppi street yards early this morning.
where hot coffee will be served TO the
returning troops.
1t was not until last night known
just when the Twelfth would arrive
ana 1T was not known whether a stop
over would be made in the city. Ad
vices received from the railroad COM
pany indicated that the troops would
only be in the city long enough to
transfer from one road to another.
This and the early hour Of their arrfv
al precluded the possibility Of making
much of a demonstration. A hastv
conference was, however, held last ev-
ening between Mayor Kiefer. Comm
troller McCardy and Conde HamIin. of
the Commercial club, when 1t was de-
clded that nothing further than to pro-
vide the soldiers with warm refresh
ments could be done for the troops. as
they carry all necessary rations
Acting along these lines President
HamIln made arrangements to meet
the regiment this morning at Missis-
slpp1 street yards with a committee
from the Commercial club, consisting of
4. Z. Stringer, Jesse A. Gregg and G.
+. Stine. One hundred and TWENTY
hVe gallons of coffee will accompany
the committee, with necessary helm. IN
cheer the boys on the remainder Of
their journey homeward.
TRAIN ON TIME.
The train will arrive in four sections.
and was on time when The GIoha
went to press. The first section will
arrive at 6:45 a. M, followed hy the seq
ond section at 1880. The third section
VIII arrive half hour later and the
last section, bearing the camp outfit
and field equipment, will be in the cftv
sometime about noon
Inc transfer will be made as quickly
as possible, and the first section of the
train VIII doubtless reach New JJlm
in the vicinity of noon.
The early hour of the arrival Of the
troops will not, however restrain the
ladies Of the Red Cross society from
helping to cheer the boys along. Thev
VIII be on hand to decorate the bows
with boutoninieres and ribbon bearing
the inscription Welcome Home"
While the Twelfth regiment shared
10 part IN the war with Spain. tho
perfls of exposure to disease in their
southern camp have been scarcely less
disastrous to It's ranks
After its arrival at New Ulm tho
men will be given furloughs as soon 40
the papers can be made out by Cant
Morgan, of the Third cavalry, who has
been named as the mastering out ofr-
Ger. The men will be given a thfrtv
days leave of absence. and at the ex-
piration Of that time they VIII return IN
New Ulm, and after being re-examined
by the regimental surgeons they will ba
given their formal discharge
Gov. ClOugh received a telegram from,
Lieut.. Col. Johnson, of the Fourteenth
regiment yesterday, from Camp HamiI-
ton, saying that his command would be
loaded on the ears this morning. and
would arrive in St Paul Tuesday
morning.
Inc Fourteenth will doubtless be sent
to Fort Smelling for temporary camp
on account of the unfavorabIe sanitary
conditions of Camp Ramsey. The ragi-
ment has tents and all necessary camp
equipment, as it has not slept in doors
since its departure from st. Paul.
AT NEW ULM.
A telegram from New Ulm says: Ar
rargements are being made for the re-
ception of the Twelfth, the regiment
which is expected here tomorrow. A
dinner will be given the boys on their
arrival The correspondence In one or
two Of the papers from Winona regard
ing this matter is generally treated
with contempt here, and not much at
tention is paid to it. The correspondent
is we'll known, and it seems do5s not
necessarily voice the sentiments of the
people.
A dispatch from Chicago says that
the members of the regiment with the
exception of fifty men, who are suffer-
ing from the effects of climatic fever,
are in splendid physical condition.
Three officers and fourteen men were
left in the hospitals at Lexington, the
officers i'll with malaria fever, and not
in serious condition, and the men i'll
with typhoid fever, some of them very
critically SO. The sick officers are:
