CHAPTER VI.

Halstead spent the morning pur- posely in giving Diaz orders about breaking out the Yap cargo, going over the bills of lading with him as if he confidently expected to reach Tomil bay on Friday. As for myself, fol- lowed his suggestions to the extent of winning over 40 of Don Silvestre's dol lars at Sancho Pedro, in the smoking room, and then losing nearly all back to him. This put the old gentleman in high good humor. We were getting quite chummy, when the senorita came along forward and asked me to tell her how observations were taken; she had noticed Moreno on the bridge with his sextant, and made that an ex- cuse to get me out for a chat.
 It still lacked ten minutes of noon, so l fetched a spare instrument from Halstead's locker and held 1t so that she could see the sun, like red ball, through the smoked glass. She couldn't seem to keep it from wobbling out of sight, but consistently squinted through the lens while she scolded me for leaving her alone the whole morn ing.
 "Ai," she said, "I did my new shoes put on before el desayuno because I itan or el Senor Enrique. See, are they not pretty?" She placed the little toe of one in a mesh of the netting, drawing up her skirt trifie so that could see the whole of the dainty tie, and, above it, few inches of beau tifully rounded ankle in open-work silk stocking, which disappeared in a cloud of lace edging. And then, when I did with that stupid cura have to walk, what saw but el capitan the tiresome oceupacion talking with el primero. Fl Senor Enrique was in sight mo- where; but presently am told he does mi padre's doubloons win at the Pedro, en Ia camara de fumar. So l did think that it was bad for my father that his doubloons he should lose to young man like el Senor Enrique, and that should know if offended him have, or el capitan, that neglect me they should
 "Capt. Dick is responsible for the safety of the ship and all our lives, senorita mia, and I-well, do you not think it is we'll that l should be good friends with your father?''
 "Oh, yes, good friends, Enriquito mic; but not so noticeable you should it make. The Spanish etiquette you do not understand. When particular attention the gentleman has paid to the young girl, as but yesterday and the days before you have done, he so boldly should not go to her father. On the land, the liberty to see you so much alone of the time as on el vapor we have done l never should have; it is not the custom. That is why las se- noritas the gentlemen like to be so friendly when the--the opportunity they do have; it so seldom is. But when to the senorita's father the gentleman so boldly does go, people do think that for his wife he does wish her"
 "Well, suppose they do. guess l can stand it if YOU can"

with the Eighteenth. He was at Fort
Sheridan for time with the Fourth
infantry, and also saw service in Cuba.
Halls brigade, which has been doing
fighting east of Manila, is made up OF
the Third, Fourth and two battalionsi
of the Seventeenth infantry.
Further Indications that the rebels
IRE active east of Manila ATE shown
in the brief report that Kings brigade
has been moved out from San Pedro
Macati to Pasig. This is the first move
of any troops south of the Pasig river.
They form division under General
Lawton, who has the brigades of King
and Ovenshine. Kings brigade in
cludes the First North Dakota, First
Washington and battalion of the
First Colorado. Ovenshine's brigade
inclues the Fourteenth infantry, First
Idaho and a squadron of the First cav
airy.
The movements east and south Of
Manila are accepted at the war depart
ment as showing Otis does not propose
to allow the rebels to press IN from
these quarters while Macarthur is ex-
ecuting the main movement far to the
north.

BROUGHT HOME FROM CUBE.
Thirteen Thousand Troops Returned
During March.

Washington, April During the
month of March $4,000 troops have
been landed in the United States from
Cuba.
The war department exercised UNI
usual haste because of the desire to
avoid the necessity of compliance with
the order of the treasury department
requiring the disinfccticn of all bag
gage of returning troops and their
equipment. This has been successfully
accomplished by the cooperation OF
the marine hospital service and the
quartermaster generals office.
The arrival of transports at south
ern ports has been so arranged as to
permit the distinction of baggage
without causing undue detention of
troops. Transports carrying troops
are sent in accordance with this ar
rangement to quarantine stations at
Dry Tortugas and Black Beard islands
and at the Florida state quarantine
station at Tampa and the city quaran-
tine station at Savannah, Ga. Marine
hospital surgeons were sent to all
these points to expedite business. All
told about 1000 tons of baggage was
disinfccted during the month and no
baggage was allowed to evade that
duty. although some efforts were
made in that direction

CANNOT SEND BODIES HOME NOW
Will BE Six Months Before Soldie.
Dead Can BE Skinned


Washington, April I.-.Ad.iutant Gen
eral Corbin yesterday cabled General
Otis saying the secretary OF war de.
sired, if possible, that the dead of the
present campaign be returned to the.
United States on early transports and
asked the opinion OF the general Oh
the subject.
General Otis cabled today it would
be impossible to send the bodies home
now. Climatic conditions are such as
to make it dangerous to the health oil
the people handling the bodies. He
IS of the opinion that six months later
the remains could be returned to the
United States.
General Corbin replied to Otis di.
recting that no further effort be made
at present to ship the remains to the
United States. He told Otis that the
acting secretary of war desired that
not only the graves of soldiers buried
in Manila be plainly designated. but
that each casket also be carefully
marked so that when the remains are
removed to this country there will be
no question of identifying the dead.
Many anxious relatives have asked
the war department if the dead sol
diers We're to be sent home. These in
quirieS resulted in the cable CORE
