es Of the men in the directory. She

soon.
In the opinion Of Gen. Bunker II
would take three weeks longer for the
rolls to be made up. He said 1t could
not be finished until the rolls for the
3oo recruits We're sent from San Fran
| cisco. He suggested that some one
with good typewriter should volun-
teer to assist Mrs. Powers
Gen. Bunker said he had written 10
Cen: Merritt asking his permission to
employ cipher code for the transmits
sion OF messages to members Of the
regiment so that expense might be saw
ed. He had not received an answer,
nor did he expect one for some time.
MAJ. Espy explained that the Manila

the San Francisco office and that ordi-
nary postage would carry mail to men,
bers of the regiment
Treasurer L. A. Moore read a lette:
from Sergeant Fred Robinson, who de-
scribed the City Of Para. Sergeant
robinson wrote that the ship was a
line one In every respect, and though
me mems quarters were crowded the
mea would not suffer, because Col.
Reeve had thrown all parts of the YES
sci open to the men at all hours
Each bunk, Sergeant Robinson wrote,
WIS fitted with mattress and every
man would be able to, sleep comfort
ably. He described the march to the
dock and said the streets were crowded
with cheering people. The people
fought to get on the dock and had to
be repulsed with force. The letter

to the detrinent' of the Pennsylvania

good could be said Of the Thirteenth.

organize the Pennsylvania national
guard and he knew that the Tenth

regiments in the country. He said thu
mel in that regiment were held under
stricter discipline than the Thirteenth,
officers for ali that.
