THIRTY FOURTH VOLUNTEERS.
A Noted Fighting Regiment Returns From Active Service in the
 Philippines.

Sixteen members of the thirty
 fourth volunteer infantry have return ed to their homes in Phenix. the regi-
 ment having been mustered out of service. The Manila Times gives the regiment a great send off on the eve of its departure from Manila, of which few extracts are as follows;
 Last evening the regiment was re- viewed by Generals McArthur,
 Wheaton and Young with staff. The regiment formed in battalion front, and in conjunction with three battal- ions of the thirty third infantry, made the first brigade review of the return ing volunteer regiments. General MacArthur's eulogy to the regiment for its indefatigable and persevering work was a magnificent tribute to the thirty fourth and indicated the high appreciation in which the regiment is held by the commanding general.
 The path of the thirty fourth has been a long and rocky one with many bytrails and pitfalls with perpendicu
 larly sharpened bamboo bottoms. It has suffered hardships which few or ganizations on this island have ex- perienced and nJDe with. more forti- tude, endurance and fidelity. It has been fighting regiment from practi- cally the day it landed until relieved to prepare for home and muster out. It has done its work well and won the admiration of all with whom it has associated.
 The Thirty-fourth volunteer infan- try was organized at Fort Logan, Colorado, and recruited from picked men of the Rocky mountain states and territories, embracing Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Wyom- ing, Montana and some from Minne- sota and Dakota. A large contingent of these men are veterans of the Gu ban campaign; having served with that sterling body of men, Roose- velt's Rough Riders. A big percent age are from the regular service, at least one-third having seen previous service in the Spanish-American war.
 After thorough course in practical markmanship and manipulation of the Krag and the requirement of field tactics, the regiment took passage on the two transports Belgian King and Columbia, arriving in Manila bay, Oc- tober II, 1899, and took station at Pasay, being the first of the new vol unteer organizations to repotr for duty in the Phillipine islands. The same month the regiment was relieved from Pasay and ordered to proceed by rail to San Fernando and form part of General Lawton's northern expedi- ton. Colonel Kennyon was placed in command of the infantry forces of the Twenty-second, Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth in fantry regiments. The magnificent work accomplished by the expedition marks it as one of the great military achievements of Philippine campaign ing. and in which the Thirty-fourth took a most active and prominent part. From San Fernando the regi- ment proceeded to Cabantuan intact. At this point happened the divisional which kept the regiment widely separated during its entire campaigning.
 In November part of the regiment | was sent through Victoria and Ro- sales engaging the enemy, taking prisoners and capturing arms and am intuition. Pressing through the province of Nueva Ecija, Aguinaldo's orce was encountered. His private papers were taken, together with sev- ,ral important military prisoners.
