Special correspondence from Frisco.
Wednesday. Sept. IL. was the first lively
day which the South Dakota regiment has
seen since its arrival from the Philippines.
o Lee. Lieut.. Gov. Eean and Col. Frost
have reviewed the organization on the pa
rtde grounds of the prcsidio. The parade
occurred at ! O'Clock. About 900 men
turned out and made IL fine showing. Tie
governor was highly pleased with the rep
IeSrnta,ivcs from his state. and he said so.
The other members OF the South Dakota
delc"ation were present on the grounds
and they. tao. felt proud. ant! we'll they
might, o.. The men from home.
One question which is causing consider
able speculation among tIeboy$ is whether
or not the regiment is 10 he allowed amy
additional officers 50 That promotions may
be made u the many WHO deserve il. Col.
Frost advised the governor To telegraph to
the war department and ascertain il Suci.
We're to be the casc. Tor it will then be
necessary 10 decide upon the various can-
,iitiaics, although Col. Frost as commander
of the regiment has no .loabt settled the
qualifications ana merits of his men to his
satisfaction. 40 answer has yet been re-
ceiyed 10 the telegram OF inquiry. In, the
news from VI asliiigto. Is being anNiously
awaited.
Nj present only one vacancy exists in
the rc9ilneui-tilat oi second lieutenant in
COMPANY u. made vacant by tie discharge
OF Lieut.. Hawkins about ten days ago. lie

the islands before the departure OF his
regiment. 50 when lie had recovered lie
Was discharged from the regiment. al
though no Stigma WAS attached 10 his he

y similar fate met about 40 others who
We're sen, home ON sick leave. or this
number lis We're mustered out vi the
service and dropped as soon us they We're
discharged from the hospital.
The health OF the regiment is very GOOD.
.Aluut twcnty-one cases We're sent To tl,e
hospital upon the arrival of the %organixa-
ton and all OF these men are doing We'll
and appear To have been improved by
their trip.
The arrival of the governor and others of
the reception committee has had one good
effect. The trouble in the regiment he.
tween Col. Frost and other officers has
been amicably settled. and now the gallant
regiment can return home without any UNI
pleasant circumstance attached to its ar
rival or amy stain upon its good name. On
Tuesday the commander withdrew his
charges OF conduct unbeceming an officer
against Lieut.. Col. Lee Slower. Mai. X. e.
Warnc aud Lieut.. Horace &. Bates and
Gen.. Shaller. The commander of this de-
partmcrt. at once removed the order of ar
rest which has been in effect against them.
In consequence the three officers parties
patel in The review this afternoon. which
was the first time in which they have taken
amy part in the affairs of the regiment since
their uupleasantneSS.
The members of the South Dakota dele
CATION are indignant over what many term
Il direct >.,ll' To their governor on the part
of Congressman Julius Kahn. representing
this district of California. 1t appears that
Mr.. Kahn rendered an invitation to Con-
gressm"n Burke and Gamble and the bal
ance of those from South Dakota To accom-
pany him on Il trip on the bay in the United
States customs launch. Gov. Lee was i.-
nored entirely. not being asked 10 he one
of the varty. The South Dakotans were
angry when they observed the absence of
their chief executive. and il is probable
had they known that he was not TO he one
OF them TIL. invitations of the California
congressman would not have been so uuan-
imo,i>iy accepted.
Coy. Lee conicntct himself with passing
the morning with the boys in camp. The
camp is one OF ;lic moielS OF the entire
place. and he was very luuch pleased with
lis appearance ana COMMUNICATED the boys
and line officers highly on The WAY III which
ii is kept.
Their are SIC people who returned With
the regiment whom the BOYS could not we'll
do without. and they are not officers or
quirtrrnia>tcT> either. They are Il couple
of iNanaiSa boys VINO We're picked up ut
llonolull. TheirnaMies are JoeandG George.
Tie BOYS areas much, battlc-Searred yc,er-
ans as iie regularly enlisted men. When
,hc regiment wcnt to The Philippines last
year die transport stopped at Honolulu.
Tie two kanaka boys came aboard
ship and whether they were filed
With patriotic irrNor OF favorably inn

canu0t be stated. hul in any event they de-

few DAYS out OF Honolulu the Youngsters
made their appearance. Both wer. bright,
willing boys and they soon made iiiem-
selves invaluable 10 boti, officers and men.
If there was Il pair of shoes To be BACKED

struggled To fulfill the task. The boys
soon became general favorites. and We're

Went through ali the Philippine campaign
with HE regiment. and when the organiZa-
ton was ordered nome they decided that
they wanted To Stay with it us long as pos
sible.
They were taken aboard the Sheridan
and reached here in good health and
spirits along with the others. They will
probably accompany the regiment back to
South Dakota. the only fear being that
when the regiment is disbandcd their
hearts will break into many pieces.
