to the office from the rear, and about
fifty matches, rartly burned, were

All the locks of his lumber sheds were

the job all around showed evidence of

MEN WE'RE DISSATISFIED AT THE
TREATMENT GIVEN
THEM.

San Francisco, Dec. 1O-There was prac-
tically q reign Of terror on the transport
Sheridan on her voyage from Manila.
During the trip from Nagasaki more than
1,500 soldiers, who had been discharged,
became dissatisfied at the treatment
given them, def1ed their former officers
and for time held possession of the
steamer.
The unruly men were too numerous to
be repressed by force or threats. They
laughed at the command of the officers
whom a month before they would have
obeyed without a question.
Mustered Out at Sea.
The time Of the enlisted men expired
while the Sheridan was on the high seas.
far from her destination. Acting under
regulations of the department.. the officers
secured the necessary papers, passed
over the money and mustered the 1855
soldiers out of the service. Then began
a rumpus perhaps never equaled on an
American transport. f--
The discharged men cheered wildly.
Some threw their small arms overheard,
and all at once manifested a disposition
to "kick.'' M
1t had been customary for the troops to
stand at attention" when an officer
came along the deck. They no longer did

sisted that the old formality be observed.
The men jeered the speakers. who retired
to their cabins. -
Bread Riots Occur.
Two days before the Sheridan arrived
here riot took place. Several of the
discharged men, declaring that they were
hungry went to the breadroom, overpow-
cred the sentry and forced an entrance,
removing much of the contents.
The rioters were in such force that the
handful of regulars was powerless.
Then one or two Of the most popular
army officers on board went among the
noisy crowd. and by quietly talking with
some of the leaders persuaded them to re-
tire to their own quarters. The men did
this good naturedly. as rule. and the
incident closed with nothing damaged but
the dignity Of the army officers.
