To Be Discharged at San Francfsco
One of the results of the recent investiya-
ton Of conditions on the transport Tartar
on her voyage from Manila to San Fran
cisco, with the Kansas volunteers, has
been the issue of general instructions to
Gen. Otis at Manila to arrange for the dis
charge of his soldiers hereafter in San
Francisco, instead of at Manila. Hereto
fore it has been the practice to discharge
soldiers whose terms have expired in Ma
Mia, paying them there and providing
them with free transportation to the United
States on government transports. One of
the evil effects of that practice has been
the arrival of the soldiers a San Francisco
without means of getting to their homes.
Under the new system they will be paid off
on their discharge at San Francisco.
Cnre of Disabled Soldiers.
1t has also been suggested to Gen. Otis
that in the future sick soldiers be loaded
only on vessels having special provision
for their care. The trouble on the Tartar
resulted from the lack of facilities on that
vessel for the of the 200 sick men who
were included in her passenger list, when
they should have been left in hospitals at
Manila until better able to make the trip
until more suitable vessel became
available.
