President Is Resting.

Hor SPRINGS, Va, May 1O.-Presi-
dent Mckinley has had day of thor
ough rest and comfort at the Hotel
Homestead here. Official business did
not intrude to disturb him, nor did i'm
Fortunate callers crowd to seek his
favor. The guests seemed to know that
his object was freedom from exertion,
and this they accorded him. He spent
most of his day in the apartments set
aside for his party or on the wide
porches upon which his windows
opened. During the afternoon he
started for walk with Secretary Gage
and Senator Fairbanks. AS they went
along the presidents brisk gait and long
strides, jovial disposition and upright
shoulders gave an unimpeacnable denial
of statements that his health is i'm.
paired. beyond the necessity for a brief
respite from the cares of presidential
life.

Return of Volunteers.

DENVER, May 1O.-Governor Thomas
received the following dispatch from
Adjutant General Corbin at Washing
ton: "Your telegram of April IA to
the president in which you state that
the First Colorado volunteers enlisted
for the Spanish war, and that war
having ended, you demand that such
regiment be mustered out of service,
has been referred to this department.
In reply, the acting secretary of war
desires me to say that it was the in
tention of the department to return all
Of the volunteer troops in the Philip
pine islands long since, but that its
plans were somewhat disarranged by
the recent operations in those ISL
ands. However, instructions have
been sent to Major General Otis
to return those regiments to the United
States as soon as transports are avail
able, and he has replied that the move
ment would be commenced about May
8, and that regiments will be returned
substantially in the order in which they
went out. The acting secretary desires
me to add that, inasmuch as the First
Colorado regiment was among the first
to go to the Philippine islands, it will
be among the first to return, and there
is reasonable expectation that it will be
returned to the United States and its
members mustered out not later than
the first of July"

the transport Logan for New York as
soon as that vessel can disembark the
second half Of the Tenth cavalry, which
it is to take from Galveston to Santi-
ago. The regular commands in Cuba
are being sadly depleted by discharge
Of soldiers who volunteered "fcr the

to as one regiment that has lost heavily.
The Seventh cavalry also is hardly more
than skeleton command. One troop
of this regiment has been reduced to
barely SO men by discharges. The
movement Of troops from Cuba through
Savannah has been practically COM
pleted for this spring and summer.

tempt proceedings against Malcolm
Jennings, newspaper man. Jennings

CHICAGO, May 1O.-News was re.

Admiral Dewey, it has been reported,
will take the Suez canal route and will
first greet his countrymen at the port Of

mayors and leading civil officials of the
west to petition the admiral to change
his plans and make the Golden Gate the
objective point of his voyage to his ma

Filipinos Not Allowed to Land.

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-It was stated
at The immigration bureau that the ac-
ton of Commissioner North at San
Francisco in refusing landing to a
company of native Filipinos, under con-
tract to exhibit at dime museum in
New York, was entirely proper. The
contention of the Filipinos that they
are actors and not laborers probably
will not be sustained except it can be
conclusively shown that they come
within the rulings of the department. as
to character and standing in the theat-
rical profession, which now appears ex-
tremely doubtful.
