Pan Trancisco, Oct. 11.—Bearded
and bronzed, nob».rod by the hard cam­
paigning of a year in a tropical coun­
try; not much like a regiment of young
men that went out a year and a half
ago, the First Washington volunteer!
returned thia morning on the transport
l'eunsyl vania.
They were glad to get back, were
the men of the First Washington.
They cheered the night of land, they
cheered the partiee which went ont in
tnga to show their feeling of happily)«»
and gratitude, and they cheered an they
passed by the men-of-war in the bay.
It was a jovial, whole-souled recep­
tion the regiment got. Scarce a man
in the ‘‘Fighting First” failed to find
a friend in the throng which, repre­
senting the state of Washington, went
out in tugs to greet the returning vol­
unteers.. Friends were reunited, hus­
band» met their wives, sons their moth-
era or sisters, for the first time ip near­
ly two years. A reception that lasted
four hours was held alxmrd the trans­
port.
The Pennsylvania was sighted at 10
o’clock, but it was noon l»efore the
quarantine o fficers hud finished their
work and the ship was ready tn receive
its visitors.
The official reception
committee from th» state of Washing­
ton, headed by Governor Rogers and
Senators Turner and Foster, alioard the
government tug Fearless, circled about
the transport, the volunteers cheering
the juomiuent men on board the tag,
ami the committee from the north yel-
liug itself hoarse, or frantically wav­
ing handkerchiefs.
The regimental
band strove to make ‘‘The Star Spau-
gled Banner” heard.
The soldiers were delighted and
eager; so much so that ranks were
broken and the men who ought to have
been in company formation swarmed
to the side of the Iwat to exchange
greetings. Cheers for Wholly and
for Fife and Weiseulwrger were given
by the committee, to t>e answered by
cheers from the volunteers for Rogers,
Turner and Foster. Colonel Wholly
tsiunded down the gangway with out­
stretched hands to greet (iovernor Rog­
ers, with the exclamation: “ (Iovernor,
1 have brought you^ back your regi­
m ent.”
On board there was no attempt at a
regular reception. Friends seized each
other’s hands, or in their Joy embraced
at the head of the gangway. Relatives
hurried away for a private chat.
R e c e p tio n on th e T r a n sp o r t,
t
bater in the day a reception in the
master’s cabin was tendered Lieuten­
ant-Colonel Fife and Major Weisen­
berger. The governor, General J. M.
Ashton, Judge Thomas Carroll, Sheriff
A. U. Mills, Captain Tuttle, of the
revenue cutter Bear, Manager Higsby
and others were present.. General Ash­
ton toasted the First Washington, and
Oolonel Fife responded, saying he fully
appreciated, as did the regiment, the
compliment paid the men by the pres­
ence of such a reception committee.
He said the arrival of the committee
was the most agreeable sight he had
seen since he had left home, a year and
a half ago. Colonel Fife toast«! the
governor of Washington, to whom he
alluded as one of the best, if not the
best, governor the state had ever had.
The governor’s attention to the regi­
ment, Colonel Fife said, was appre­
ciated, and the regiment felt honored
by its reception.
Governor Rogers marie an appropri­
ate response, stating that the First
Washington was composed of men who
did not go to war to k ill their fellow
men, but the people of the state appre­
ciated in this instance the old biblical
statement, "greater love hath no man
than that he would,” etc.
“ This we feel the regiment has done
not only for the United States, but for
the state of Washington,” said Govern
or Rogers. Judge Carroll paid the
regiment a high compliment and toast­
ed Weisenberger as “ Our Dewey.”
Major Weisenberger resjxinded, giving
reminiscences of the regiment’s war
experiences.
The visitors were given lunch aboard
the transport, mail was distributed
among the volunteers, fruit and cigars
were passed aboard and divided, and
the rest of the day was devoted to pri­
vate greetings and welcoming.

a stampede is now on in earnest from
Dawson to Nome. When the miners
who arrived by the Tees left the Klon­
dike, river steamers were being left
without crews, the seamen deserting
to join the great crowd hurrying down
the river to the new Eldorado. Navi­

Vancouver, B. C., Oct. 9.— A re­
markable story of cannibalism was
brought to Hyduey, Australia, a few
<lays l»efore the sailing of the steamer
Aoraugl to this js>rt, by the French
steamer Jeanette. The victim of the
display of savagery was a native of
Hawaii, named Amaru, who acted as
orderly to the immigration department
at Noumea, in the New Hebrides.
Atxiut six eionths ago Amaru mar­
ried a native woman of Aoba, in the
New Hebrides group, and on passing
that island on the second day of the
voyage of the Jeanette to one of the
outlying islands, he decided to visit his
wife’s tril>e. Accordingly the couple
were put off in a small boat, and it was
only a few weeks ago that the steamer
made a second call and learned their
fate. By mistake they had landed on
an unfriendly shore and were taken
prisoners.
The man was tied to a stake and his
torture begun. This consisted first In
allowing vicious jungle snakes from
which the ¡olson fangs had been re­
moved to attack the man’s legs.
Then a fire was made at his feet anil
his legs were horribly burned, though
the injury was superficial so that the
victim would not die under the treat­
ment. Then he was made the target
for the spears of the tribesmen, who
finally killed him. He was torn to
pieces and placed . over a fire with two
theep. In fact, according to the story
he was eaten with the sheep.
In the meantime Amaru’s wife had
been provided with another husband.
The matter was rejxirted to a British
man-of-war, but it is thought no action
has been taken.
