With the members oil tne twenty
first Infantry on board. returning from
eighteen months active service in the
Philippines, the army transport Logan
reached port Thursday morning sailing
again in the afternoon. The voyage from
the Orient had been made In good time
and without any accidents orfcasualties
among the 900 persoIr aboard. Among
these is the youngest stowaway ever
carried by any of the transport fleet,
being the three-year-old son of negro
soldier, having been taken aboard with
the idea that there need be no formali-
ties connected with his transportation,
but which the rules required to be list
ed as a stowaway and subject TO the
dire penalties OF the offense. There
were no irons observable, however.
when the pickaninny was on deck dur
ing the stay in port.
The 2lst Infantry earned an enviable
name for itself while on service In the
Far East, having been stationed on the
Island of Samar and recently having
supplied some companies for Leyte.
where active service against the Pula-
James was seen. In one engagement, In
which Company E was engaged, the
Pulajane chief Daguhob was captured
and 100 of his men killed, effectually
breaking up the band.
At the present time there are few of
the regulars doing the kind OF patrol
duty at first assigned to the 2lst, this
work being given over to the constab-
ulary, recruited from the natives and
which is, in the words of one of the
officers of the regiment. very useful
except when there is something to do
One of the exciting experiences of the
regiment in Samar consisted In going
through typhoon last fall, which
swept the island, killing 300 people and
destroying an immense amount of
property. The barracks of the 21st was
included among the buildings torn
away by the wind and one member of
the regiment lost his life among the
falling timbers.
The orders received for the regiment
in Manila were to go to Fort Logan,
in Colorado, but It is expected that
other orders separating the companies
will be received on their arrival at San
Francisco, due to the shifting around of
the mainland regiments incidental to
the Cuban trouble.
While at Manila the Logan was the
first vessel to tie up at the new gov
eminent dock there. From this point
she took all the freight disembarked
from the transport Sheridan.
She sailed for the Coast at four
o'clock, taking mail, 1t being decided
that owing to the delay of the S. S.
Ventura she would be the first vessel
TO arrive at San FRANCISCO.
VENTURA ARRIVED LATE.
The oceanic S. S. Ventura, concern
ing the safety of which some little UNI
easiness had begun to be felt, arrived
yesterday morning from the Colonies.
forty-eight hours behind time. Her
delay en- route was ascribed to the
fact that the crew of coal passers was
both incompetent and indolent, this be-
ing the same reason given out by the
last Colonial liner for her delay. Some
time also was lost at Auckland, where
the engines required some repairing
and the same thing occurred at Page
Page and at this port, the sailing hour
being delayed from o'clock until :
o'clock to allow OF work In the engine
rooms.
The Ventura came in very light, heI
total freight amounting to only 4S(
tons, 70 tons of which were consigned
for here At this port she took on a big
shipment of bananas and several hun
dred tons of coal. while a large number
of passengers for the Coast departed
with her.
Among the through passengers were
several from Pago Page. including, L.
c. Gaskill, the governors secretary
and C. j. Parks, the prosecuting attor-
ney for the colony Z. w. Frederick,
an astronomer, who has been install
ing the apparatus in the government
observatory on the island OF Tutuila,
is returning to the mainland.
Among the Australian passengers is
DIR. II. Simpson Newiand, one of the
foremost among Colonial physicians
He will make tour of the United
States.
Col. French is the editor of the New
York Independent, who has been
studying economic conditions In Aus
tralia and New Zealand.
The Ventura is carrying large
amount of treasure, having sovereigns
TO the value OF s3,5OU,u0O in her strong
room. This amount is being forwarded
to Californian banks, being the third
shipment of gold from Australia to
America in the past three months.
The Ventura had no less than seven
stowaways aboard when she arrived
yesterday, three of these being taken
ashore here and locked up TO be ship
ped back on the Sonoma. The other
four claimed to be Americans and will
be taken on to the Coast where they
will probably be prosecuted
