A Mormon family will be placed on each

xr. was uopea inai some arrangements
would be made whereby Oregon's sol
dier boys might soon return home.
However, neither those who have en
listed nor their friends would ask for
their recall if their services are yet need
ed, for did they not enlist with the un
derstanding that they belonged to their
country to be used for the maintenance
of its principles and to uphold its
honor?
The following dispatch puts a quietus
on any hopes which might have been
entertained as to their speedy return to
home and friends:
Washington, Nov 14. Adjntant-Gen.
Corbin said today, when asked if there
was any prospect of the early return of
the Oregon volunteers, that there is not
at present, and that there are no regi
ments now available to take their place.
There has of late been a strong demand
to have the volunteers at Manila brought
1 back to this country, but all such re
quests bad to be refused, pending the
! peace negotiations. If it is determined
in the end to maintain a garrison at Ma
nila, congress will tave to provide regu
lar troops to replace the volunteers, all
of whom are anxious to return to this
country. v
While relatives and friends of those
who are to be held at Manila do not
aek for their return unless their etay
there is deemed unnecessary, yet they
do ask, and it should be demanded by
our governor, that they be treated as
human beings. While reports are con
flicting concerning their treatment,
enough has been written to assure ns
that the government or its officers are
rem IBS in duty ; and to such a degree
that their slackness becomes criminal.
The very fact that the men have been de
nied that which rightly belonged to
them, or required to purchase what
had already been given them, is proof
sufficient ; but such extracts as the fol- j
lowing, taken from letters' written by
men whose statements we cannot deny,
make even those who have no loved ones
who are compelled to stand such treat
ment, fairly wild, or almost determined
to snatch them as brands from the
burning. One letter says:
"Of the quarters provided us, you can
not depict the honors of oar present
ones. We are quartered in an old Span
ish building, the closet of which is in
the same room. The sewerage is de
fective, and the stench which arises from
this cesspool of disease is beyond de
scription. There is no smell in America
equal to it. ' To reach the cloeet proper,
we have to wade through human offal,
thns laying the foundation for the fevers
which are prevalent, and generally end
ing in death. We are forced to sleep in
this loathsome atmosphere, and if we
were not the strong, healthy men that
we are, could not stand it. . As it is, we
arise in the morning with headaches and
sick stomachs. No wonder oar hospitals
are. full. Could this be remedied? Of
couree it could ; bat the officers only
laugh and do nothing."
