San Fkancisco Oct 12 Tho Twen
tieth Kansas and the 100 discharged
soldiers who arrived hero on the trans
port Tartar were landed yesterday
The inarch to tho Presidio reservation
was an exciting one for tho soldiers
The welcome they received was second
only to that accorded the homo troops
on their return Both sides of Market
street and the other streets through
which the soldiers passed were thronged
with excited people all anxious to do
them homage Cheers upon cheers
passed up and down the lines of people
Cannon were fired at intervals bells
clanged and whistles and steam calli
opes added their respective noises to the
occasion
The throngs surged around General
Funston anil he had great dillloulty
muking progress through the crowds
Cheer after cheer greeted him but his
only acknowledgment was 11 military
salute and an occasional doffing of hi
cap A grout break in the para do oc
curred hen1 and an admiring mass of
people filled the interval The crowds
simply would not let the soldiers pass
in peace Breaks occurred every few
minutes Relatives and friends broke
into the ranks and marched with the
soldiers some smiling and laughing ami
others crying but all happy and glad
The regimental colors little tho worse
for wear in spite of the arduous campaign
through which they had passed called
forth a tremendous burst of applause
whenever they were sighted Taking
it all in all the soldiers looked to be in
fair health but of course there were
some who showed the effects of tho se
vere ordeal through which they have
passed
The parade was reviewed on Van
Ness avenue by General Shaft er and
Governor Stanley
General Funston in an interview yes
terday said I have only this to say
of the campaign in the Philippines
everything is being done that could be
to carry the war to an early and suc
cessful conclusion The report that I
am an anti expansionist is ridiculous
and not worthy of serious consideration
I never intimated such a thing Tho
people must stop to consider when they
are passing judgment that there are
countless conditions to bo constantly
combat ted and overcome there before
headway can be made I fear the exact
difficulties of the situation are not fully
understood Some mistakes may have
been made but the campaign has been
conducted in a most able and conscien
tious manner and every man has done
his best No grave errors have occurred
but it isahvitys easy to look back and
comment upon what lias been done
even though that might have been ac
complished under trying ciivuin
stances
