Hour of Arrival


San Francisco. July 30.-The un-
timely arrival of the transport Han
cock. having on board the Nebraskn
regiment and two batteries OF the Utah
nrtilIery. completely destroyed all the
arrangements which had been made
for n royal reception and nm enthusias-
tic welcome TO the fighting volunteers
returning crowned with their lnurcls.
The Hancock dropped anchor In the
stream shortly before midnight last
night. The committees here from Ne
braska and Utah had given up all idea
OF the vessels arriving earlier than this

planned with all care and detail to be
the first man aboard tho Hancock and
welcome the heroes from his state
back 10 American soil. But there were
no reception committees afiont Mt mid
night. and only one small delegation
NJ The Nebraska people. headed by
Judge Robert Ryan and G. o. Wheaton
of Lincoln. accompanied the custom
house officials and the health officers
on the race down the bay.
Quarantine and customs regulations
prevented even this little band from
getting nearer the deck OF the ship
than the approach to the gang plank.
The returning soldiers have no criti
cisms TO offer ut their silent reception.
They cheered themselves hoarse at tho
sight Of the little fleet Of launches and
from the decks of the transport shouted
greetings and messages to the people
on the dancing craft below.
Col II. B. milford OF the Nebraskas,
who IL In command. soon appeared at
the railing BY his side stood William
Grazen Of Company ID. the sentinel of
the Nebraska regiment. who fired the
first shot In answer to shots from the
Fllipinos which started the war with
the insurgents. He killed the first
Filipino who died by an American bul'
let. and II was his shot which was the
signal for the advance Of the entire
American line and the great rout of the
rebel army on the night Of Feb. 4.
The men OH the Hancock numbered
1.i36. and include the two Utah light
batteries and six discharged men from
the TweDiy-sccond regiment, L. $. A.
