Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, June 16.--Relatives and
friends of the members of the First
Montana regiment will be elated over
letter that Governor Smith received 90
day from the war department, as it
demonstrates conclusively that the time
for the boys to return to be mustered
out is at hand. The governor recently
applied to the department for the i'm
mediate discharge of H. H. Hawkins
of this city, a sergeant in l. company,
on account of physical disability. Ser
geant Hawkins is suffering from a bad
case of dysentery and as it is thought
the weather in the Philippines aggra-
Yates the disease, Theodore L. Mat
thews of Helena, his uncle. requested
the governor to apply for his immedi-
ate discharge. Assistant Adjutant Cen
eral Ward replied to the governors re-
quest under date of June 8. and say all
volunteers now serving in the Philip
pines will be sent home to be mus
tered out at once. a number of trans
ports being available at Manila for that
purpose. and If Sergeant Hawkins were
given an immediate discharge he would
not only reach home in advance of the
"
months extra pay allowed to volunteers
who serve in a foreign station and are
finally mustered out of the service The
assistant adjutant general, in his letter
to the governor says:
Il have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the 22nd in
stant, in behalf of the immediate dis
charge of Sergeant H. H. Hawkins of
Company l., 1st Montana regiment. and
in reply desire to inform you that all
the volunteer troops now serving in the
Philippines will be returned home 10
the United States for muSter-out at
once, nine transports now lying off Ma
Mia for that purpose; and it is safe TO
say that an immediate discharge would
not accelerate the soldiers return to
his home in advance of his regiment,
and would deprive him of the two
months extra pay granted to volunteer
soldiers who have served in foreign sta
tions upon their final muster-out from
the service. In view of the foregoing IT
is thought that no further action will
be desired IN this case"
