The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-09-08

could not get Col. Freder1CkS to come
to the gangway, but called for Maj
Bean. The major being an old friend,
/ rendered him welcome in the name
Of the G O b e. He said he was most
glad to get home. The trip, he added,
was an uneventful one for all of the
twenty-eight days.
Maj Bean reported the health Of the
Minnesota regiment good except for
twelve cases of dysentery. Seventy men
Of the Minnesota regiment, he reported,
have enlisted in volunteer regiments in
Manila. Mrs. Bean is on board, also Miss
House and Miss Gladwin, Red Cross
nurses attached to the Minnesota regf-
ment
After getting these particulars 1 asked
Maj. Bean as to the charges of cowardfce
against Gel. Ames. 1 inquired of him
what he and the other officers had to
say. Maj. Bean replied:
cat present We can say nothing. When
the officers of the regiment meet Col.
Ames we will then give our version"
I asked Bean: "Will you state to me
whether Col. Ames at any time displayed
the white feather while with the regi-
nsent on the fighting line?'
Maj Bean replied: 81 will say nothing
at present, neither will any of the Off
GERS until we meet Col Ames face to
face"
] then asked: what are the feelings
of all the officers of the regiment toward
Col. Anles?"
Mai. Bean replied: mot a single officer
of the regiment will shake hands with
Col Ames when they meet him."
At this point we in the launch were
warned to leave the side Of the trans
port owing to the danger Of remaining
in the swift tide running.
7 induced the captain Of the custom
house launch to remain a few minutes
while 1 talked with Col. Frost, Of the
South Dakota regiment, who came to
the head of the gangway In reply to my
REQUEST. He said his regiment was all
well except for few cases of d1sentery.
Forty-one of the Dakota regiment have
re-enlisted in Manila in new regiments.
Talking with some Of the privates who
put their heads out of the portfolios, they
said Gen. Otis was the wrong man to be
in command. and not a single soldier had
a good word to say for him. They used
strong language regarding MIN, confirm
ing all statements made by the privates
Of other volunteer regiments winch nave
returned home already.
AS we left the side of the transport at
$40 our launch was run into by the tug
Reliance, which almost sunk us, but Tor
tunately struck a gIancing blow.
The Sheridan has 945 officers and men
Of the Minnesota regiment and $50 OF tAe
Dakota regiment on board.
AS we left the side of the transport the
soldiers clustered on the deck and gave
three cheers for Home, Sweet Home
The Sheridan will remain at anchor In
quarantine all night. Then Will come IN
spection early in the morning by the led
eral doctors. If all is we'll she Will DO
allowed to come up the bay to the wharf

ESCORT ORDERED.
An order was issued by Gen. Shafter
this morning assigning the North Dakota
soldiers as escort to the Minnesota and
South Dakota troops on the march to the
Presidio. The order was issued at the re-
quest Of the North Dakota men. who
were anxious to be the first to greet the
soldiers from the Northwest
They say that they want to do every
thing possible to counteract any wrong
impression that may have been formed
because of letters written home by North
Dakota boys concerning the Minnesota
soldiers. They say 1T will be a shame
If the Minnesota men do not receive
royal reception, for they deserve 1t. and
they feel worse than some of the Mime
