When the regiment arrived in San Fran
cisco the fact that members Of these fac
tionS We're serving in the same regiment
was published, but at the same time the
statement was made that they had agreed
10 bury their differences while wearing
Uncle Sans uniform and to satisfy their
desire for fighting by chastising the Fill
pinos. 1t appears, however, that the
quiet of Angel Island, where the regiment
has been quarantined almost ever since
its arrival on the coast, was too trying
to the nerves of the fiery Kentuckians,
and yesterday they quarreled. They were
separated, but a little later one, a mem
Der of Company *, observed his enemy
examining his gun. He at once jumped to
the conclusion that it was either shoot or
get shot, and he rushed to his tent for his
Krag-Jorgensen. Having secured his
weapon, he returned and at once opened
fire.
AT the first shot the bullet passed
through the arm of the soldier with whom
the Company X man had quarreled. AS
the victim turned, as though to return the
fire. another bullet from the Krag-Jorg-
enson struck him in the leg and brought
him to earth. This ended the fight. The
wounded man, who is a member of Com
pany l, was removed to the hospital
where an examination showed that his
wounds are serious but not necessarily
iatal His assailant was promptly placed
under arrest, and will probably spend a
few years at AlcatraZ, even though his
victim should recover
The quarantine of the Thirty-frst Regi-
ment will be raised on Monday, but the
regiment will probably be detained at

transport for Manila ten days hence
