Montana regiments United States vol
unteers, not brought by the Zealandia
arrived today, nineteen days from Yo-
kohama
The shrieking of whistles, and
screaming of sirens, disturbed the Sun
| day quietness and was everywhere
throughout the city a signal of the
sighting of the Valencia. AS soon as
she had passed in, the quarantine boat
put out to meet her and was not long
in completing the inspection which en-
titled her to a clean bill of health. BY
that time the committee of Montanans,
now in the city, had gone out in a tug
to greet their boys, and escorted the
Valencia to her place of anchorage off
the government dock at the foot of
Folsom street.
All sorts of supplies were speedily
sent out to the soldiers to make their
Sunday on board ship more endurable.
Apart from the twenty-six invalided
men sent out of Manila hospitals, the
health of all on board was excellent
Several hundred dollars of company
funds were used to supplement the RAJ
lions supplied by the commissary en-
voyage, SO that the men Jared pretty
we'll coming across the Pacific. What
they most desired was fresh California
fruit and this was sent out to them
today in immense quantities. In addi-
ton every man was presented with two
bottles of beer and a package contain
ing dainty sandwiches and some delica-
cies unknown on board ship.
They will remain on the transport in
stream until tomorrow, when the ship
