SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9.-The
transport Pennsylvania, bearing the
Washington volunteers was sighted to-
day a short distance outside the Golden
Gate. The Pennsylvania carries forty
two officers and 776 enlisted men OF the
Washington Infantry, two officers,
thirty-four discharged men, three men
of the hospital corps and seven civil
ians.
As soon as word was received that
the transport had been sighted three
parties, composing Governor Rogers
and staff of Washington, delegation
of Washington people, and party of
San Franciscans boarded the tugbcats
Governor Markham, Governor Irwin
and the steamer Caroline and started
for the Golden Gate to intercept the
transport as she passed down the bay
TO the quarantine station.
As soon as the transport was definite
ly made out through the heavy haze
that hung over the ocean a lively fusil
ade of steam whistles and calliopes
was started, and continued during the
passage of the transport down the bay.
Out on the bay the three welcoming
craft presented fine appearance, gaily
decorated as they were, as they sped
along to meet the steamer. The sol
diers crowded the decks and the rig
ging of the transport, and as the
steamers drew near a mighty hurrah
foated out on the air.
Governor Roger was cheered to the
echo, as were the other Washington
ians and the CaIifornians Messages
were shouted through megaphones, and
the greatest excitement prevailed
among the soldiers. The transport
was headed for the quarantine station,
and was followed by the Markham, r.
win and Caroline, but they were not
allowed to go very close TO the Penn
sylvania
An examination of the Pennsylvania 3
passengers was made by the health Of
f1cers. The general health of the SOL
dieIs was found to be good, and the
vessel was released from quarantine
There was considerable sickness of
minor character among the men when
the vessel left Manila, but the bracing
sea air was so beneficial that the in
valids improved wonderfully.
The Pennsylvania will dock to-mor-
row morning on the early tide, and, ae-
cording to present program, the men
will be breakfasted in the east nave
or the ferry depot After the break
fast they will march to the Presidio.
