Washington, May 15.—By direc

Arthur to send to San Francisco at
his earliest convenience, the follow

Fourteenth, Eighteenth and Twenty-
third regiments of infantry; fourth
regiment of cavalry; Twenty ninth,
Thirtieth, Thirty second and Thirty
third companies of coast artillery;
First, Eighth, Tenth, Twelfth and
Thirteenth batteries of field artillery.
General MacArthur is instructed to
transfer to other commands all men
in the above organizations in their
first enlistment having more than
one year to serve, also men wishing
to remain in the Philippines. All
men of other organizations having
three months or less to serve, not in
tending to enlist, are to be transferred
to the returning organizations.
It is expected that this movement
of troops will begin soon after July I
next, by which time the homeward
movement of the volunteers will have
been completed. It is the intention
of th«' department to replace the home
coming regulars, so far as the mili

act.
These movements are predi

He jumped aside and shouted, "You

Though Phelps followed at his heels,
his act of heriosm cost him his life.
Both men were being cooked when

GOT AWAY FROM MOTERMAN.
Three Paisengerj on a Trolley Car Seriouily
Hurt—About
100 Bruiied.
New Y'ork, May 15.—An open trol
ley car, in which were packed about
115 people, got away from the motor
man near Fort I^e, N. J., and dashed
down Leona hill. Every person on
the car was bruised and three serious
ly hurt, but only one of them, the
conductor, is likely to die. The
heavily loaded car had started down
an incline a quarter of a mile in
length when the motorman lost con
trol. The car was going so fast that
no one dared to jump off. The road
is a winding one. At the foot of the
hill it curves sharply. When the
front trucks hit the curve they started
around and made it. The rear ones
followed part of the way. The wrench
upon the car, however, as it swung
about, was so great that the body was
torn and lifted from the trucks and
rolled over and hit the ground. The
passengers were caught in and under
the car and were piled in a heap.
