and went on to his home in Monroe.
He says the men of the Utah batteries
are in fairly good health and are endeav-
oring to do their share of the fighting.
But they are in dead earnest about want
ing to come home. When ii was sug-
gested to Robinson that according to re-
ports the boys did not desire to come back
now, he replied that If the men were
given an opportunity, they would quickly
and emphatica-.y dispel any such an idea
by coming Immediately. vote taken by
some of the officials to ascertain the senti-
ment of the boys in regard to remaining
another six months and then receive ex-
ira pay brought but one single voice in
favor of the proposition. All the rest

OF DR.. Harry Young, Robinson says his
death was due to ignorance on his part of
the country. He was to meet the battery
at a certain place, but passed directly
along in front of it, as the guns We're

United States Senator Rawlins:
Dear Sir: About the middle of Janu-
airy of the present year L began to
petition the executive powers for the
release of my son, - -. now at or
near Manila, z. 1. The reasons for this
I viii briefly state. He has been en-
tirely blind in his left eye since his 18th
year, in consequence of a blow, para
lying the optical nerve The constant
exposure attendant upon camp life
keeps it in a state of Inflammation, and
he is threatened with the loss of the
other eye. My very reluctant consent
to the proposed enlistment was based
upon the belief that he would not be
able to pass muster, as l felt that he
was unfit for duties OF that character,
but, TO my great surprise. he was ac-
cepted. 1 am a widow, without a home
of my own, and I look to this son.

to the president: "All volunteer regi-
ments now stationed in the Philippine
islands will be returned to the United
States and mustered out of the service
as son as troops of the regular army

the movement of which has already
commenced"
The governor OF Utah answered me
in about the same way. That was more
than three months ago, and this coming
home appears to be as indefinite as
ever. / protest with all my soul against
this smooth hypocrisy of our officers in
high places. Young men of batteries A

with no urgent need, have, through
money or social influence, received their
discharges, while my reasonable ap-
peals have been cruelty ignored. Had ]

four months from the time she first
asked him TO secure her sons release:

the discharge of my SON. -, now

charged, several from his own COM

cruelty ignored. Why this distinction?
If I was well enough, 1 would call and

Many are the prayers and petitions

The sons of wealth and kin of influence
