Unusual Petition ta Be Presented By the
First Nebraska.

Manila, May -. via Hong Kong
The First regiment. Nebraska volun-
teer infantry. is taking the unusual
step of respectfully petitioning the di
vision commander. Major General Mae
Arthur. to temporarily relieve 1t from
duty Mt the front.
The regiment is badly exhausted by
the campaign in which 1t has taken an
active part, and not many more than
three hundred men of the organization
are at present fit for duty Sunday last
100 men of this regiment responded 10
the sick call.
The men. In view of the facts, have
prepared respectful memorial 10 Gen
erai Macarthur, asking that their regl-
ment be withdrawn for short time
from the fighting line, in order thai
they may recuperate. The memorial
states that the men are willing TO fight.
but are In no condition TO do so, owing
TO the strain of long marching. contin-
ual fighting and outpost duty In which
they have been engaged.
II Is argued that many of the men
have been unable TO have their clothlns
washed for months. having been com
PEELED during all that time to sleep In
thei- uniforms TO be in readiness Tor
fighting. The memorial adds that since
February the regiment has lost 70
men In killed and wounded. and %
since the battle OF Malolos.
The officers of the regir1snt propose
to present a similar memorial on ne
half of the men. The splendid record
OF the First Nebraska in the entire
campaign and the tone of the memorial
prepared by the men is such that no
imputation of insubordination can be
brought against them
