Sioux Falls S D., July 1S.-From let
ter received here today from Manila 1t is
learned that forty seven members of COM
pany B of the South Dakota regiment
signed an Endorsement of Governor Lees
demand on President Mckinley for the re-
turn of the regiment, also twenty mem
bers of company l, and others in proper
ton. Reports of the condition of the reg
iment June / show it to be in a deplorable
condition.
Surgeon Ware in letter TO Senator
Pettgrew says he has asked for his re-
turn home to be mustered out. and adds:
THE boys all want to come home ex-
cepting six, who wish TO enlist in the reg
ular army and fifteen who wish to be
mustered out here FOR the purpose of pros
pecting OF going into business. Our regi
ment is practically busted. For three
months they have had hard field service.
and are physically worn out. We have
only about 400 able for duty. There are
over 400 sick in quarters and in hos
pitfalls We are simply worn out. The
Nebraska regiment and the South Da-
kota regiment have had all the hardest
work. For the past Two months neither
OF our surgeons nave been allowed 10 20
to town to look after our own health.
week ago our men sick in quarters in
Manila were examined by a regular sur
geon and over $50 ordered To the front
OF these SO ordered, three tainted in the
streets OF Manila before they reached
the station and had to be taken to the
hospital. Eightyod OF the men were
unable to walk from the end OF the rail
road to this point, and We're carted here
on bull carts. Nearly all of these men
are now in hospitals or are sick in quar-
ters here. Captain Cox is in Corregedor
hospital sick. DR.. Thompson is sick with
fever
Many of the men nave attempted 10 ap-
ply for their return home and discharge
through military channels, but Colonel
Frost has held them up Today the colonel
called the company commanders together
and told them they were towards to allow
their men to request to De sent homei that
they were towards to allow their men 10
go on the sick list For the good of all
concerned Frost should be sent TO his own
regiment. He is looking only TO his own
interest, selfish in the thought only tor
his good. He has no interest in our state,
has no interest IN our men except TO use
both for his own selfish advancement.
Many OF our wounded should be sent home
at once. This situation here has turned
out TO be nothing but n bushwnacking
scrap. Day before yesterday we had one
killed and seven wounded. The Filipinos
are in the right. They have been treated
more falsely by American authorities than
even by the Spanish. When the truth and
the politics of this affair are known by
the American people, they will be unable
to look an honest man in the face for
shame II the boys are compelled to stay
hero through the rainy season many will
have to go through the home trip in
box"

many as two thousand. They are de-

of the people are demoralized by the in

American protection. They no longer nee

gents, but gladly welcome them. There
has been no recent burning OF towns. The

ENCOURAGING ApvIcEs."
The News which lis Given Out by the
AdmI II istrntion


Washington, July ls.-The advices the
president received from Manila yesterday
which has given so much comfort and en-
enlargement to the members OF the cabi-
net to whom they were communicated had
q bearing rather on the political than on
the military situation, although there is
naturally very direct connection between
the two at this time. The commission,
or at least so much OF II as remains at
Manila since the departure Of President
Schurman and Admiral Dewey. has been
unrelaxing in the effort to restore conf
dence of natives and aid military opera
tons by inducing the infection among
Aguinaldo's followers. Some progress has
been made, more IL is said than the pup
lie Is acquainted with, for not only have
the United States authorities been able
to secure the unqualified adhesion of the
natives of the more important islands out
side OF Luzon in the Philippine group. but
even In that island they have steadily
encroacbed on what WAS regarded as pure
ly tnsurgent territory, and are arranging
Tor the establishment Of full civil govern
ments in some OF the provinces OF the
island wherein Aguinaldo has heretofore
been strongest. Because this is to be ac-
complished by peaceful means and with
the full assent OF the inhabitants of the
provinces. the administration naturally
feels elated.
Washington. July 1s.-The following
statement was given out this afternoon
at the state department:

csived from the Philippine commission an
