AGITATION FOR HOME COMING.
On the evening of Sept 20 meeting of the Thir-
tcenth Regiment auxiliary held at the CONNER
cial club st. Paul President c. D. OBrien ex-
pressed himself follows:
81 don't believe I'll see my boy again. I believe
that If the regiment is ordered back within sixty
days onefourth of them will never come back. 1 be
heve that within thirty days dysentery and typhoid
fever will be decmating the troops at Manila But 1
shall make effort to secure my sons return by
special furlough the majority of this association
has decided that the regiment should remain here,
although keeping the troops there is merely political
eXpedient to exploit the doctrine Of imperialism. Yet
1 believe 1 could demonstrate that if proper
ures taken by this association orders would be
issued within week ten days for the return of
the Thirteenth Minnesota"
Mr.. O'Brien further stated that he objected
strongly to the men Of the Thirteenth doing police
duty among Malays.
1t was at this meeting that the announcement was
made that Gen. Reeve had written friend that he
couldn't afford to do garrison duty in Manila, and
that he coming home. This incident marked the
initial point of the subsequent efforts to the
return of the boys.
