(From Dally, SAN FRANCISCO, July 12. The T'nited States transport Newport, and Ohio, bearing: the Oregon volunteer re giment from Manila, arrived here early this evening:. The vessels were sighted tome miles out at sea early in the afternoon, and soon the shrieking: of steam whistles, clanging; of bells and firing of cannon announced to the peo ple of San Francisco and vicinity, that the first batch of returning: volunteers from Manila was nearlng the peaceful shores of California, and within a lew minutes after the announcement was made, the streets leading; toward the bay shores were thronged with pedple wending their way to the docks and to the heights over-looking ttje bay, all intent on catching a glimpse of the transports as they steamed up the harbor under the escort of a score of vessels, whiah had been made ready for the arrival of the steamers. Along the water front proper all was excitement. Whistles and bells kept up a continual din. The roofs of ware houses were crowded with -people and from scores of flagpoles streamed Into the breeze the Stars and i Stripes for which the boys have been 'fighting for so many long weary months. Steamers, tugs, yachts and even small row-boats were soon making their way as fast as possible toward the Golden Gate, all Most People Talk About the shoes they buy.

The revenue cutter Golden j Gate, bearing the federal officers, was soon under way and- was Joined by the federal quarantine boat from Angel Island Then there were boats, at the 'disposal of the Red . Cross and 'other societies and many chartered by private parties. As the transports slowly steamed Into the harbor, the soldiers on board gathered in excited groups on deck and some climbed into the rigging wiere they shouted and cheered like- mad. The band on the , Sea ; Queen played patriotic airs and; the; screaming of many steam sirens created pandemon ium. The health officials boarded the vessels which changed their course to ward the quarantine station, where the doctors will make a thorough exam ination of the men. ! - .. : It Is yet undecided whether or not the Oregon volunteers Will be allowed to land in San Krancisco before re turning to their Oregon homes. The department at Washington once order ed that there be no delay In sending the men north from here, but recent developments may possibly cause the de partment to rescind its former deci sion. - As soon as it was positively known here that the Oregon soldiers would stop here, committees were appointed to arrange for a fitting reception to the brave men, and everything pro gressed finely toward that end, when Word was received from Washington that the soldiers would not stop here more than long enough to permit fresh supplies being placed on - board the transports. This decision, of course, put a damper on the work of the com mittees, but .they recovered from the first shock and decided to go ahead with their preparations and trust to influence to obtain the desired permis sion. - ' Governor Gerr, of Oregon, and his staff, came to San Francisco for the express purpose of receiving the vol unteers, and) since, their arrival here have been in constant communication -with the department at Washington to have the men granted ; permission to land here, hut so far their efforts ihve been unavailing. ' General Shafjter would like to have the men lanfed here, but must, of course, obey he instructions of his superiors. He put the matter in this light: "The government is anxious to have all the volunteers in the Philippines returned here, and If the Oregon boys were allowed to land flere It would de lay the necessary dispatch of the trans ports to the Philippines for the regi ments of other states." General Shafter fully appreciates the anxiety of the people of an Francisco to give the Oregon boys a fitting re ception, but so far has been unabla to give any encouraging Information upon the subject. "The situation is this." said Lieuten ant Colonel Plummer, General Shafter aid. "General SJiafter toas received a number pf anxious . Inquiries from wasnington concerning tne transports. The government, it must be understood, is anxious to get as many of the ves sels to Manila' as possible, for there are volunteers from other stav s, as eage) as those from Oregon, to return home General Shatter's orders are to hurry the Incoming transports fcack to he Philippines. .and while he fully appreciates ithe goid intentions of the San Francisco citizens, and the wishes of the pesople of Oregon, who are now represented here byN Governor Geer. he must follow his Instructions as nearly as possible. This means that, unless it is absolutely necessary for the New port and Ohio to remainhere. they will be hurried up to Oregon as soon as orders can be conveyed to their commanders."
