Livestock inspector Mccoy, that hold

be 50 per cent. In reference to the state

RECORD OF VOLUNTEERS.
Their Discipline and Bravery Excites
Admiration From Regulars.


Chicago, March 2S.-A special dis
patch 10 the Record from Washington,
d. c. says: Adjutant General Corbin
says that nothing has occurred in the
history of the country to endear the
volunteer troops to the regular orSani-
cation as their conduct at Manila dur
ing the present movement on Malolos.
Not only have they shown excellent dis
cipGne. but they have eagerly sought
duty on the firing line and have never
faltered to advance on the enemy.
There has been no Sinking in their
regiments and no complaint when call
ed upon to bear the brunt of an as
sault. Their record from the moment
they embarked TO the present time has
been excellent and the reports received
at the war department, General Corbin
says. indicate that any attempt at
sending them home for muster-out be-
fore the campaign is completed would
excite a riot. They desire to remain as
long as there is any fighting to be done
and the department, in recognition of
their excellent service, will not order
them home until the military problem
in the Philippines is solved, or the vol
unteers formally request to be re-
lieved.
Surgeon General Sternberg says the
medical department in the Philippines
is ready and prepared for any emer-
gency which may arise. The hospital
ship Relief, which left New York sew
e1a1 weeks ago laden with supplies, is
about half way 10 Manila, and her ar
rival is expected at that port about
April 10. She carries an abundance of
medical supplies of every description
and has many medical officers. hospital
stewards, privates and nurses aboard.
The officers in charge at Manila have
plenty of funds to make any necessary
purchases and have fun authority and
discretion in every particular. Hospit-
ads have been constructed at Manila
and the vicinity in anticipation of trou-
BILE with the insurgents and every con-
ceiyable preparation for the reception
of the wounded has been made. The
surgeons from the American warships
IN the harbor have come ashore and
are cooperating with the medical Off
GERS of the army in the treatment of
The wounded
