Tho battalion marched through the streets enroutoto the transport shortly before 3 o'clock this afternoon. Lieu tenant Colonel AlcClav rode at the head of tho men. The band escorted the battalion to the ship. I.csides the First batallion of the Third Nebraska the Obdam took oyer a cood deal of transportation rridsome men belonging to regiments that have already gone across to Cuba. Several contract nurses were carried on the ship. i ne march oi tne battalion was a very pleasant one The troops re ceived many cheers as they passed through the city. The band played "Dixie" several times betwesn tbe camps and the transport and the tune was loudly cheered. One of the soldier had a Cuban flag stuck in his gun. This evoked considerable enthusiasm. Besides the Nebraska soldics, the Obdam carried a number of nurses and surgeons for the Havana hospitals. The transports Roumanian and Michigan arrived today and will take the remaining battalions of the Ne braska regiment and one battalion of the Ninth Illinois. The hospital ship Missouri also arrived today for a cargo of medical supplies. Hoys of the First Coming Home. Washington, Dec. 30. Major Gen eral Otis, military governor of the Philippines, wired the War depart ment today that in obedience to the orders of the adjutant general under date of October 19, he had reduced the First Nebraska to eighty men to the company and had ordered home on government transports for muster out all men above eighty who were the support of dependent relatives, students, men in the hospital and men not likely to recover from illness, iD accordance to instructions from the War department. It is understood from the telegram that a transport has left Manila enroute for San Fran cisco, but nothing could be learned at the War department as to the name of the transport. Startling Oisclosures. Admirals and captains are brave enough, and keen tacticians, no doubt, but the best part of the Spanish fleet would have slipped through some body's fingers that Sunday morning at Santiaero if America's fighting en gineers had not. by the hardest of work, overcome the obstacles imposed upon them by orders from the bridge. If the fighting had been against men more nearly kin say English or Ger man under conditions identical with those c Santiago on the morning of July 3, some American hulks might now be resting at the bottom of tropic seas. For engines were uncoupled, and many fires out, and steam so low that all the energy of the stokers was re quired to get it up again. Tbe American ships had been off the coast for weeks, waiting for the enemy to come out. W hen the enemy came out, the American ships were ready to shoot, but not to give chase. This was no fault of the engineers. It was tho result of a condition peculiar to naval practico. In the navy the ship's captain decides how many boil ers shall bo used, how much coal shall be burned, what pressure shall be car ried. And the American captains at Santiago had everything in readiness, except their boilers and engines. There were two exceptions, the Oregon and the Gloucester.

Celebration at Santiago. SANTIAGO DE Cuba, Jan. 1. The last day of the old year had scarcely passed when the people of Santiago began to celebrate the birth of Cuban independence. From that hour until dawn crowds marched the 6treets, singing and cheering for Cuba and the United States, while bands played exhilarating music. It was the real voice of the people instead of tho ele tnent that is usually making itself heard through the local press, and there could be no question of the enthusiastic feeling toward America. This morning General Wood, follow ing an ancient Santiago custom, held to well written found it too lengthv. Mrs. Toliff closed the program with an instructive paper on English Litera ture from Chancer to Spencer, which showed careful preparation and research. Parliamentary law and current top ics will furnish the program for the next meeting of the club,and as this is a popular department, it is expected there will be a large attendance.
