against Col. Ames is due to jealousy and
desire on the part of some officers for
promotion, it may prove a boomerang
and result in the dishonorable endings
for several military careers.
In the South Dakota regiment harmony
is conspicuous by it's absence. Lieut.. Col
Slower and Lieut.. Horace G.. Bates are
also said to be under arrest. What the
trouble is no one of the officers will say,
but it is alleged that it had it's origin
in letter somewhat similar to the one
that was responsible for Maj Warne's
arrest. Some Of the soldiers say that
Lieut.. Col Slower is under arrest, and
others state that he was confined to his
state room, partly from choice All ex-
plantations thus far offered are unsatis-

Along the entire route the sidewalks
were lined with people and the men were
cheered along the whole line of march
They stood the trip remarkably well,
only few being obliged to drop out and
finish the trip in the a:nbulances and on
street cars. It was a proud day for the
men and for the citizens Of San Fran

The baggage was loaded soon after The
regiments had left the wharf and was at

will occupy the tents vacated this morn

the avenue and complimented Minnesota

While Saturday fell behind the eXpecta-
Hons of the state fair management in at
tendance. considering the ideal weather
conditions which prevailed during the
dav stiu it was day to give them lit
file reason to mourn, for during the day
and evening about 1900 people saw the
sights Of the fair and the Manila spec
tacle.
In order that the visitors for the last
day might not be disappointed, orders
had been issued that the exhibits in the
buildings Illuminated should not be re-
moved before II o'clock at night, so the
crowd had a chance TO linger after the
fireworks ended and enjoy the collections
in the various buildings.
This fact, with the admission Of the
newsboys of the Twin Cities in the morn
ing. and all children free in the evening
consderabl enlarged the attendance
without proportionately charging the re-
ceipts, but nevertheless these latter will
be far in excess of last year.
AS the exact attendance figures for the
day and night had not been made up by
Secretary Randall last night. the attend
ance for yesterday must be estimated,
but the following figures show practically
the totals for the week as compared with

been discharged and sent to their homes.
1 was in a ward with one of them for
three weeks. He lived in Minneapolis.
This discussion of Col Ames' conduct
has been the talk Of the Minnesota vol

weeks There are only a few of them
who think the papers have the right of
the argument, and, personally, 1 can say
that Col Ames has always seemed a
brave man and an efficient officer. 1
heard of him several times before left the
Philippines, but never saw him until he
visited me a few times in the hospital.

ROWS IN REGIMENTS.

tary Circles I'm San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9.-The San
francisco papers today are full of the
unfortunate controversy that has arisen
in the Thirteenth Minnesota regiment,
and this is the talk of the town, partic-
ularly in military circles No one seems
to know more of the matter than ap-
pears on the surface. The reception ac-
corded Col. Ames was chilly, but there
was nothing that could in any way be
construed as disrespect. Neither will any
slight be put upon Col. Ames by the en-
listed men of his command. That much
is assured. 1t is true that there has been
marked change in the feelings of the
men toward their old commander since
he left Manila and it may be ascertained
in time that there is some good reason
for this change. Indeed, it begins to look
as if that time is not very far away.
AS regards the officers, the case is diff
ferent. None Of them has a single word
for their old commander with the excep-
ton Of Lieut.. Col Frederichs, and he, as
might naturally be expected from his po-
sition in the regiment, refuses to discuss
the matter in any way except to regret
that so unfortunate a thing should mar
the home coming of the men. He is ready
to turn the regiment over to Col. Ames
him from command. Whether this will
be done Immediately no one seems to
know. Gen. Shafter is out Of the city,
and it is not probable he will take any
hand in the matter in any way until 1t
is brought to his attention through the
proper channels. Were it not for the fact
that Col. Frederichs is in command by
virtue of a special order designating him
as regimental commander, Col. Ames
moment he saw fit As it is, an order
must issue revoking the one under which
Frederichs is commanding.
There are indications today that the
opposition of the officers to Col. Ames has
been carried too far and that there is a
most remarkable change in sentiment re-
garding him. yesterday there were but
few who would speak a good word for
him. Today the men are saying, and with
remarkable unanimity, that they are
with him almost to a man.
The elimination came late last night,
when, it was found that some one had
taken pains to cut extracts from the San
Francisco papers referring to the chilly
reception given Col. Alnes when he
boarded the Sheridan yesterday and
posted them up. AS soon as the men
learned what had been done they became
indignant and the obnoxious clippings
were soon torn down. Now and then
men gathered on the forward deck and
for half an hour cheerd for Col. -Ames.
Later a hurried meeting was held. at
which it was decided to send word to
Col Ames to be at his tent in the
Preside when the regiment arrived, and
to call on him before breaking ranks, and
give his rousing welcome back to his
command. -
The enlisted men say they will not stand
for anything that sayors Of persecution,
and if 1t is true that the movement

voted to going over the kilograms and
the letters to see If arrangements could
not be made to include Minneapolis in
the points to be visited in October
But the question is still unchanged If
the president, owing to the strength OF
the pressure being brought to bear, an
swers the Minnesota people at once, the
answer will be il the negative. This
statement is authoritative, but he pur-
poses to continue his efforts to harmonic
the dates which conflict, and it is not
impossible that he may be successful, al
though the prospect is not promising at
this time The president is as anxious
as the people of Minneapolis and really
wants to visit them, but the matter is
now almost wholly out of his hands by
reason of dates in other cities, and only
the faintest hope remains that he can do
what the North Star state wants.
cit will be out of the question to delay
the muster-out OF the regiment. Such
a plan would involve the consent of the
regiment itself, and the proposition would
probably meet with a storm Of disap-
prevail from relatives and friends

Gov. Lee arrived late last night and
has been too busy since reaching the city
to give the matter any attention, though
he will probably Go so at an early date.
One Of the most gratifying things con-
nected with the return of the regiments
IS the excellent health of the men. There
were sixty men in hospital when the ship
arrived, but only small percentage Of
these were taken to the Preside hospital
yesterday afternoon, and most of these do
not belong to either of the Northwestern
regiments For the most part they are
regulars. The hospital steward said yes
to-day:
"There are sixty men in hospital, simply
because we have that number of good and
comfortable beds in the ward. The men
were sick enough when they entered, but
most of them are now recovered and are
on deck nearly all the time. Their COM
marders have no duties for them to per-
form, and consequently allow them to re-

main They say the men have had hard
time since entering the service, and IL
they can fall into snap now, It IS no
more than right for them to have 1t.
The enlisted men were greatly pleased
when they were told about the model
camp that is awaiting them at the
Presidio, and were especial yp!eased when
they learned that there were stoves and
floors in the tents. The enlisted men are
locking forward to a life of luxurious
ease during the remaining weeks of their
army life, and are preparing to enjoy 1t

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9,-Col. Fred
Anes was accorded a magnificent recep-
ton by the rank and file Of enlisted men
on the arrival Of the regiment at the
Preside this afternoon. Every company
in the regiment marched to his tent be-
fore breaking ranks, and almost every
man in the Thirteenth personally shook
the coonals hand, and assured him that
the enlisted men were with him and pro-
posed to stand by him.
Before the men left the transport this
morning it had been practically agreed
that the different companies, after they
had been turned over to the first SER
geants for dismissal, should call at the
coloners tent and gave him a welcome
back to his regiment. The programme
was carried out to the letter. Each COM
pany marched from it's street as soon
as the men had discarded their blankets
and roll and put away their guns went up
to the colonePs tent, and for half an hour
they cheered the colonePs eyes as he
stood uncovered before his men, but there
was also look of pride and Of supremest
satisfaction.
He has all along insisted that the pr1-
vate soldiers would be found standing by
him to almost man, and the events Of
today seem to prove that his confidence

they were tired, they formed a line and
passed bg him. So far as could be seen
no one left the crowd until each had
personally shaken hands with him, and

in the Preside are recovering fast, and
there are none now but who are nearly
