WYOMING BOYS TO RETURN.
Will Be Sent Home as Soon as Regu-

A letter was received in the city yes
terday from Senator f. E. Warren,
which contained good news, says the
Cheyenne Tribune. The senator states
that he has the positive assurance of
the war department that the Wyoming
volunteer troops, now in the Philip
pines, will start for home just as soon
as the regulars, now en- route to the
islands, reach Manila. The transports
which will bring the boys home, are
now in readiness for the journey.
1t is sincerely hoped that the above
is correct and that the war department
will not have occasion to alter its plans.
The Wyoming boys made a record dur
ing the Spanish war and later in the
Filipino rebellion, which, which is sec

selves and their state with glory, and it
is only just that they now be sent
