San Francisco, Oct. 1S.-The tri-
umphal return OF the Twentieth Kan
sas regiment concluded at the govern
ment reservation with the arrival Of
the command at its quarters in the
identical spot occupied during the long
days Of waiting for orders to 60 to the
orient last year.
There is months pay coming to the
Kansas men, and they will probably
draw this before they have been many
days ashore. The papers of the regi-
ment have been made all ready for the
mustering-out officers, and there is but
little to do or to delay matters. The
accounts must all go back to Washing
ton, however, and that will take up
the time while the regiment is waiting.
The following men from the Twen-

Butte sliding Down mn.

The startling fact has become evil
dent that for several weeks E1arge por-
tion of the city Of Butte, Mont, has
been sliding down hill. The evidence
OF II Is seen on a number Of large build
ings and residences, including the
courthouse and residence of United
States Senator Clarke, which have been
cracked and assured from one side TO
the other. Biologists who have in
vestigsted the phenomenon express
the opinion that the buildings dam.
aged are located on n seam Of rock or
earth along which. slide separation
or cleavage Is taking place.

the regiments were raised in short
order and modified at Camp Leedy, at
Topeka. II was decided to number the
regiments the Twentieth, Twenty-tirst
and Twenty-second, a continuation of
the numbers Of Kansas regiments in
me civil war, to distinguish between
the civil war regiments and the Span
ish-American war regiments. Fred
erick Funston was appointed colonel
of the Twentieth because of his knowl-
edge Of Cuba and the Cubans. No one
thought at that time but what the
troops would all be used in Cuba.
While the troops were modified Mt
Topeka it rained almost daily and the
camp ground was q regular mudhole.
The camp was not well equipped, and
uniforms and blankets were an un-
known quantity. Things got so bad,
however, that Gov. Leedy took money
out of his contingent fund and bought
the boys blankets. The volunteers en-
dured the hardships Of the Topeka
camp without n murmur.
In the meantime, the war situation
had changed. Dewey had slipped into
Manila bay and destroyed the Spanish
fleet. An American army was then
necessary there. The war department
ordered, among others, the Twentieth
Kansas regiment to San Francisco to
be in readiness to embark for the orient.
The regiment left Topeka on May 10,
in command Of Lieut.. Col. Little; they
arrived in San Francisco on May 90,
and went into camp ut the Preside.
Their camp was filthy. Other regi-
ments had refused to stay there, but
the Kansans had to put up with 1t
until August 8, almost three months,
when they were removed to Camp
Merriam. Col. Funston joined his regi-
ment in Frisco, and worked like Tro-
jan getting his regiment into shape.
On October 81 the Second and Third
battalions, field and staff, the nom
commissioned staff and the band en-
barked on the Indiana. They arrived
at Honolulu November 8, and departed
four days later, arriving ut Manila on
Decembcr1.
The First battalion embarked from
San Francisco on the Newport, Novem-
Der 8. 1t arrived at Honolulu Novem-
Der 10, and left there on November 10,
arriving ut Manila on December o.
There was very little sickness among
the troops. Ten volunteers on the In
diana and sly nm the Nawnort made nm
the list of sick that were left at
Honolulu.
The Kansas regiment took up quar-
tors in tobacco house near Manila.
where 1t remained until driven out by
smallpox on January 8. 1t then took
up quarters formerly occupied by the
Wyoming troops.
