NEARLY ALL RETURN
Two Detachments of Volunteers on
the Way.
MASTERING OUT OF THE TROOPS
General and Staff Officers to Be
Discharged.
SKATER TO BE RETIRED

All Of the volunteers except two small de-
| tachments have been returned from the
Philippines to the United States and the
| remainder are expected today or tomorrow.
On board the Tyra bound for Portland.
Ore. are three officers and seventy-eight
men Of the 3sth Infantry. and on the Kim
| tuck. bound for Seattle Wash. are two Of
ficers and fifty-four men OF the 42d Infan-
| try. As soon as they arrive they will be
sent at once to San Francisco by rail for
| muster out.
While the time of the volunteers expires
by Limitation June 80, some doubt is
pressed whether the late arrivals can be
| mustered out until a few days beyond that
time. To properly examine the muster
rolls, pay off the men and put them through
the required medical examination will take
considerable time. Some question has
arisen as to the payment of the men be-
yond the 10th instant, even If they are still
In the service: but if the accounting officers
do not authorize their payment now they
will undoubtedly be paid later by a special
act of Congress
On June 80 also all the general and staff
officers of the volunteers will be discharged.
