Half of the Regiment
on Board.

The ZeaIandia. with Colonel H. c. Kess-
Ter and six Of the companies Of the Non
taDa regiment aboard. steamed into the
harb0r yesterday morning about Il
o'clock. Just a month ago this gallanI
regiment left Manila after a fun year OF
rneritorious service in which many OF the
men. both officers and file, have won
honor at the cannon's mouth and blaz-
o1ed their State banners with record
which will last for all time. The Mon
tana ranks have been thinned by the
hav1cs OF war and by tropical disease,
but the part that its regiment played IN
Manila Will never be forgotten.
Having clean bill Of health, the quar-
anriue officers passed the ship and an
hour after she cast anchor in the stream.
The tugs Governor Irwin and Governor
Markham. with the California and Mon
taua reception parties on board, met the
incoming transport and as soon as the
quarantine was removed the Montana
delegarion led by Governor Smith and the
CsiiIornians headed by julius Kahn
scrambled up the ships ladder.

On board the ship was Lieutenant Col

that could be done under the circum-
stances. He has had 70 look out Tor

ppaien we have enough men there at
present to whip them and We have done
that, but it needs many more soldiers to
conquer the Philippines. The fighting is
that order Of warfare. 1t was nothing
