The San Francisco call., 1903-01-14

EH HE army transport Logan arrived
yesterday from Manila. She
brought ll5 cabin passengers and
a ~l0i2 soldiers. discharged men of
very much the same character as
those that made the last voyage of the
Thomas such a strenuous struggle. But
there was no strenuous struggle on the
Logan.
when the Logan left Manila the form
of paying of the discharged men was
gone through It was only form. how
ever The money went from the paymas-
ter into 1917 envelopes. Each envelope was
marked with the name Of the soldier own
er and deposited in the LOgan's strong
box Some $4,000 was in this way taken
care Of for the men until last Monday.
nfcn the envelopes were distributed TO
their owners.
Except those men that had been paid off
iu Manila the Logan's soldier passengers
were moneyless. No money. no gambling;
and as a consequence, peace from Manila
To san Francisco.
Not only was the money withheld. An
elaborate array OF gambling tools. the re-
ward Of q systematic search Of the troop
quarters. was cOnfiscated ana thrown
overheard. The men growled, and some
ol them offered 10 pay the custodian OF
thcfr money = per cent bonus for the use
oI some Of Il. The attractive rate proved
no iuducement however, and more than
one soldier yesterday thanked the officers
RESPONSIBLE for holding on TO the mems
funds for enabling them TO land IN san
Francisco with money in their pockets.
-Four sure-thing gamblers boarded the
Logan At Manila with the evident pur-
pose OF plying their trade when the men
lad been paid of and going ashore at
NaEasaBf with most 0f the money earned
by the discharged men. Withholding the
pay envelopes spoiled the crop, however,
and even if their presence had not been
discovered by the officers the four crooks
would have reaped poor harvest
They were detected, however, and at the
request Of the Manila police were brought
To the United States for the good of the
Philippine" They were turned over 10
