CHAPTER XIII.

Still another expedition was destined
to start for Manila, and keen was the
rivalry among the regiments held to
daily drill at San Francisco. The rumor
was current in the camps that the next
review was to decide the matter, and
that the commands pronounced to be
foremost in discipline and efficiency
would be designated to embark. The
transports that had conveyed the ear

and retitting were hurried to the ut

was Stanley Armstrong: and if merit
were to decide the matter it was con-
ceded among the volunteers that in
point of style and equipment the
"Primeval Dudes" "held over" all com
petitors, even though every competitor
believed itself more than IA match for
the Dudes if actual campaigning and
lighting were in contemplation. SEN
ators and members from the states
represented by the volunteers at San
Francisco led burdensome lives, for of
ficers and men were pulling every wire
to secure the longed-for orders for an
immediate voyage to Manila, when, all
on sudden, the hopes of all were
crushed. Spain had begged for peace e

Transports would not go without

without transports, the journey was
far too expensive. They wished her no
evil, of course; but if they were Them
selves forbidden how could they rejoice
that she should be permitted? They

ton had been halted there and put in
camp. The hospital held several Of
ficers. Billy Gray was down with brain
fever, and there had been a furious
scene between him and his peppery
colonel before the breakdown; and by
that same steamer Mrs. Garrison had
got letter that had made her turn
white and tremble, as Mrs. Stockman
saw and told, and then shut herself up
in her room an entire day. Now for
nearly a fortnight the lovely guest had
been daily limiting that she really must
