was ordered stopped there between
July IA and 20; however, there have
been several boats leave that port since
that time that have arrived at Manila,
but no mail have we received.
do not know, but presume that
this will be the last letter I shall
write you until I write from San
Francisco. We have been ordered re-
lieved and tomorrow the regiment will
be in and possibly the next day we will
proceed to Manila. We have not as
yet been assigned to transport. The
Kansans left day or two ago, and
the Washington men go aboard today.
That leaves us the only volunteer reg
iment here except the Tennessee regi-
ment, which is down, south at Iloilo.
There are now three boats in the bay
unassigned, according to the informa-
ton I have received. They are the
Newport, Ohio and Indiana. Probably
one of them will be sent to Iloilo for
the Tennesseeans, and if we get the
others we should leave by the middle
of the month, at the latest. Even if
we do not get one of these boats 9TH
ers will be in soon, so that we can get
out by the last of the month. 1 am
glad that the time of our departure
from this land is not far off. If our
time was not up, and the volunteers
were not all returned to the states, I
suppose 1 could abide in this country
longer, but it is without one particle
of regret thatI shall say farewell to
the Philippines and turn my face
homeward. Nevertheless, 1 am glad
that have had the opportunity to see
ing what l have seen. Although the
life we have lived has not been one
of as great opportunity for sight-see-
ing and comfort as the life of COM
| mon tourist, there has been chance
to see and learn things that we would
possibly never have known had we
stayed in the states. Yours truly,

A VICTORY FOR BRITT.
Citizens of That Town EIated Over the
Decision III County Seat Case.

Britt, Oct. 21.-The verdict of the su-
preme court in the county seat case is
regarded as complete victory for
Britt, and Garner finds itself with a
new court house for which it has no
use. 1t can probably be used for a
high school or normal school building,
but never for court house. This de-
cision practically decides the question
of the removal of the county seat. Re-
moving all the legal phrases and tech
Garner or any other town cannot re-
move the county seat from Concord
without vote Of the people as pro-
vided by law. The present condition,
therefore, of the county seat contest
is that it shall remain as it is for the
present, and no agitation for the re-
moval of the county seat can be made
under four years, or five years from
the time the Britt petition was filed,
which was in 1898.

Mr.. Stentz wasted no time in returning
to Ottumwa, and was met here by his
mother and friends. He is at present
visiting at the home of Chris Haw, on
Fifth street.
The many friends of Mr.. Stentz will
be pleased to learn that he is feeling
and looking well. He, of course, shows
the effects of exposure and hard march
ing, but his health has not been i'm
paired by his experience as a soldier.

Carol C. Steutz Returns.
From Tuesdays Daily.

After an absence of eighteen months
Carroll G. Stentz returned home this
afternoon from the Philippines. Mr..
Stentz is well known in Ottumwa, hav-
ing resided here several years. He is
the son of Mrs. j. M. Hooten, who
moved from this city to Montezuma
some months ago. Mr.. Stentz enlisted
in May, 1898, in the Fourth United
States cavalry, and soon after was sent
to Manila, arriving in the bay the week
of the capture of Manila by the Ameri-
can forces. He was under Lawton in
the north expedition, and was in the
thick of several fights with the insur-
gents. He spoke today of the situation
of the soldiers in the Philippines, as
follows:
Cali the soldiers are more or less
dissatisfied with the condition of at
fairs in the islands, and on all sides
can be heard kicks on Otis, the old
woman The sanitary conditions are
not good, and there are many cases of
fever among the soldiers. i am glad
to get back home. The only reason
any of the discharged men stay is 70
get their 5000 travel pay, which Otis
offers in cash to all who re-enlist. The
weather is good there except in the
rainy season, when one cannot keep
dry for any length of time, and fever
is very common. l was i'll twice with
fever, but got all right again. I was
under Lawton a good part of my time,
and found him to be good general.
Every one likes him, and praise is
heard for him where Otis is disliked."
MIR. Stentz enlisted for the war, but
was held over time, and says this &C.
ton with regard to some of the soldiers
was the cause for the dislike for Otis.
He was discharged, however, in August
of this year, and left Manila on the
transport "Tartar," which, it will DC
remembered, was held at Hong Kong
by the British authorities. Mr.. Stentz
reports an enjoyable time at Hong
Kong and at Yokohama, Japan. The
voyage across the Pacific was very
rough and disagreeable, but the recep.
ton the soldiers received in San Fran
cisco more than repaid for the hard
ships on board ship. The Twentieth
Kansas regiment was on the Tartar.
and the people of San Francisco enter
taiArd the returned soldiers royalty.

already filed, one soldier in twelve has
become pension seeker in less than
two years from the date of the declara-
ton of war. While the showing is some
what of a reflection upon the men who
are seeking government aid already. 1t
is more an evidence of the pernicious
activity of pension attorneys, who stop
at nothing to build up cases from which
a fee may be collected. Extraordinary
care was taken in the enlistment of the
second army for the Philippines to
avoid the filing of pension claims and
to safeguard the government. but as
nearly every man in the tropics has
been touched by fever the hospital rec
ord is ready as a foundation for the ftl-
ture This opportunity will not be
missed by the pension attorneys. Phys
ical examination before discharge has
been started and will prevent many ap-
pficatlons from being granted, but
even this proyision will not guard
against subsequent disability that may
be traced to exposure.

Washington, Dec. 2s.-The cabinet

BY the terms Of the treaty the United

The question has been raised whether

been The subject Of correspondence be-

OWNERS and the teamsters to agree on
the scale Of wages TO be paid ITO the

The Chicago Federation OF Labor has
voted TO support such a strike In the
event that il be found necessary.
The situation assumed a grave aspect
last evening when the Chicago Coal

To refuse to recognize the dema ands of
