The Forty-sixth United States Volun-
teer Infantry Regiment will sail for the
Philippines tomorrow afternoon on the
transports City of Sydney and Pathan.
The Forty-sixth will be closely followed
by the Forty-tifth, which will sail Mon
day on the transports Senator and Ben
Mohr. orders for the departure of the
two regiments for the scene CT hostilities
were issued yesterday afternoon and will
be somewhat of a surprise to the maj
ity OF the officers and men concerned, as
the general impression around the vol
unteer camps was that none of them
would get away before the middle or last
OF next week.
Colonel Schuyler Of the Forty-sixth
took vigorous measures to curb the war
dering propensities of his men and at the
same time give them taste of army dis
cipline yesterday morning by reVOking all
leaves of absence from camp and sending
out provost guards to gather in those who
had oVerstayed their leaves. Two hun
dred and thirty-tiVe men who were given
temporary leaves of absence on Monday,
on which day the regiment received its
last months pay, failed to show up at
assembly and Colonel Schuyler at once
ordered out the provost guard. Every
two hours during the afternoon three Oh
ticers and thirty-siX men left the camp on
a tiVe-hour detail to arrest and bring IN
Forty-slXth men who happened TO be en-
joying themselves in the resorts just out
side OF the reservation were warned of the
approach or the provost guard and
Scampered over the hills toward town. In
several instances the guard gave chase
and captured the runaways, although as
a rule the latter got away. All last night
the work of rounding up Strayed soldiers
was continued and a large number Of
them were gathered in. A goodly number
are yet at large, however, and it will le-
4 a her
and ready to board the transports.
The tortieth is next to the Forty-sixth
the greatest sufferer from the vagares Of
soldiers with temporary leaves of all
sence, but the Thirty-eighth, Forty-fourth
and Forty-fifth also have their troubles
Eight men Of the Fortieth were yesterday
sentenced TO do penance for absenIing
themselves from camp after the eXplra-
ton of their leaves.
Paul A. Perugia of the casual detach-
ment at the Preside was yesterday aiken
to Alcatraz Island to serve a sentence Of
four years imposed by court-martial and
approved by General Shafter for disobey-
threatening him with a revolver. The
sentence also includes dishonorabie dis
charge from the army and forfeiture Of
all pay and allowances.
