SCHUYLER'S ACT DENOUNCED

The first of the second call regiments
arrived in the city yesterday The van
guard is composed of the Forty-sixth In
fantry from South Framingham Bar
racks, near Boston, Mass, and the Thir-
ty-eighth Infantry from Jefferson Bar
racks, Missouri.
The Forty-sixth arrived first and with
out more ado its commanding officer.
Colonel w. S. Schuyler, proceeded 10

lar. lie put guards ali over the ferry

taurant and the lavatories, which no one,
passenger or soldier, was allowed to en-

complained to the captain, who sent his

there was to it. The colonel was good
enough to explain, however, that he
placed the guards around the boat to pre-
Vent passengers from buying whisky for
MS men. There was no whisky on the
forward deck, however, nor in the restau-
rant, but the colonel made no further ex-.

When the ferry reached this side Of the
bay 40 one was allowed TO go ashore until
the regiment had been formed and
marched off the boat. Then the citizens
We're given their liberty. 1t was the first
experience of the kind, and II is probable
that II would have been definitely settled
by the captain refusing TO leave the
wharf with another man in command of
his boat, but the ferry had started before
the trouble was brought to the captain
notice, and there was nothing for him to
do but keep on to this side. The passen-
gers have suggested special boats for
regiments with piratical oolonels.

Second Lieutenant William 3. Aiken of
the Thirty-seventh United States Volun-
teer Infantry has been ordered to Manila
There is nothing unusual about the order
when his regiment Is there already, but
the peculiar part of the order to Aiken Is
that the last heard of him he was under
court-martal for drunkenness, and the
decision OF the court recommending his
dismissal from the army was on its way
to Washington. The fact that the decf-
II was for dismissal. otherwise it would
have been disposed of in this department,
and now the orders to Manila indicate
mat something, has happened and that
Aiken has not been dismissed. His SEN
tence has been commuted to some loss of
pay and probably the forfeiture for q time
of some privileges, but it has been a close
S.haye. II he behaves himself the second
