Half of the Thirteenth Regiment of
United States Infantry arrived here
yesterday at 4 o'clock on the transport
Senator from 'San Francisco en route
to Manila. All those on board not
"blacklisted" were allowed shore leave
immediately and during the evening
and way into the night crowds came
from Pacific Mail wharf, where the
transport was lying, and fraternized
with the boys in blue off the Morgan
City around the hotel, where the Gov
ernment hand was playing.
The "Fighting Thirteenth," as the
Regiment is known in the service, cov
ered itself with glory in Cuba during
the late war. Next to the Sixth Regi
ment it lost more men in action than
any other organization engaged in the
Spanish war. The Thirteenth was in
the thick of the famous charge of San
Juan hill, and many of the officers and
men still carry with them the germs of
fever contracted during the Cuban
campaign.
The Thirteenth has been recruited
almost to its full strength, but is still
very short of officers. Col. Smith, the
commanding officer, has his headquart
ers on 'board the Senator, which sailed
from San Francisco along with the
Ohio, which carries the band. In ad
dition the Senator has companies A, C,
F. G. H. and I and thirty-two enlisted
men for regiments already in Manila.
On the Ohio are companies B. D. E. K.
L. M. and seventy-five recruits.
Lieut. Joseph Frazier, of the Ninth
Infantry, is the quartermaster In
charge of the Senator and Lieut. D. E.
Nolan, of the Thirteenth, has charge
of the Ohio for the Army. Lieut. Nolan
was formerly with the First Infantry
and made many friends in San Fran
cisco while stationed at the Presidio.
After the close of the Cuban cam
paign the Thirteenth returned to New
York, where the First Battalion took
up quarters at Fort Porter, the Second
at Fort Columbus and the Third at
Fort Niagara. As most of the men
have seen service in a tropical coun
try and as nearly all are in the finest
condition now the Thirteenth should
be a big help to Gen. Otis.
Col. Alfred T. Smith, who commands
the Regiment, is quite a famous light
er. He won distinction in the Civil
War, at the close of which he was Col
onel of the Two Hundred and Second
Illinois Regiment. He made Tampa
his headquarters during the late war.
Before the Third Battalion left Fort
Porter, April 21st, the citizens of Buf
falo unveiled 'a granite (bowlder weigh
ing thirty-five tons and suitably in
scribed in honor of the Fighting Thir
teenth and its deeds of valor in Cuba.
The commanding officer aboard the
Ohio is Capt. J. H. H. Peshire, who for
many years was military attache at the
United States legation at Madrid. The
other officers on board are Capts. M. B.
Saffold, W. Geary and S. L. Faison;
First Lieutenants E. B. Gose, P. E.
Pierce, L. II. Bash (adjutant), C. H.
Paine and D. E. Nolan; Second Lieu
tenants, F. W. Coleman, P. G. Clark,
H. A. Robischan and P. M. Schaffer.
Surgeons (contract) Beckman and
Stafford are also on board bound for
Manila. The troops on board number
C60 men, attached to the six companies,
being 110 each, and about seventy-five
recruits for various commands near
Manila. All the way from the East the
Thirteenth only lost two men. One fell
off the cars and was run over by the
train. Another fell from the wharf at
San Francisco and was drowned.
This is the fourth voyage to Manila
for the Ohio and the shiD's officers de
clare the present lot of troops to be !
me cleanest and most orderlv yet taken
across the Pacific.
Capt. Boggs is still in command of
the Ohio, with officers as follows:
Sk ?mSir. Barin- Second Officer
ILlberk Chief Engineer Burney and
Purser Hedges. The Ohio is becoming
a veteran in the United States-Philippine
service..
The Ohio will commence coaling im
mediately and probably sail for Ma
nila next Monday afternoon.
A Dangerous 31end.
The attention of an Advertiser re
porter was yesterday called to a piece
of repair work on the King street
bridge. One of the boards which had
become worn out was replaced by a
heavy plank. It extends three inches
above the rest of the walk which
makes it a menace to unwary foot
travelers. Immediately after the re
porter and the gentleman who had
called attention to it had finished ex
amining the plank a little child came
running. along. She did not notice th2
obstruction and so tripped over it al
most falling into the water.

Minister cf the Interior until Tuesday,
