SAN Francisco, Cal., March 8.—Tho Call publishes the result of its tuquiries regard: Ing the recent movements In iilitary elreles In this etty, from which {t appears that nll the arms of the Second Regiment of National Guards have beon removed from the vartous compiny armories and deposited In the old City-Hall or Central Police Station, where a guard of a Lieutenant and ten men of Com- pany F, Second Neximent, fs kept over them. Companies B and © of tho First Regiment have becn concentrated at the armory of tho Intter company, and arms of Company ©, of the Second Regiment, have been placed in thelr charge. An offlcers’ guard is now mounted nightly at the armory of the Third Reghnont, which fs allowed to retain its arins, The armory of the First: Reghnent {8 closely gunrded, and no one Is allowed to enter. ‘Tho armsof the three cavalry companies have been removed from their nrmory,—to what locality 1s. unknown, but probably to the old City-Hall.. Camp regulations have been es- tablished. The arms only of the Second Reghnent have beon removed from the arm- ories, and guards are detailed every night to watch over tho othor property of the regi- ment, The Third Regiment has been eon- centrated at the Olymple Clb Building, and those companies of the First not nceommo- dated atthe armory of Company C are at regimental quarters, corner of Ioward and New Montgomery streets, . Gen. McDowell, commanding the Diviston of the Pacific, was telegraphed yesterday from Washington to bring all the ayallablo troops In his division to San Francisco, and companies, amounting in all to 600 men, are already enroute, with more to fullow,— probably 1,500 altogether, It Is impossible to find out by whose orders these movements of’ the National Guard ara made, as the officers refuse to give any infor- mation, but it is conjectured that the move- nents are under the direction of Gen, Me: Dowell, and are due to representattons made to the Washington authorities by Col. Bec, VieoConsul in Chinn, regarding the sup posed danger {n which the Chineso stand. It is understood that the present precaution will bo maintained until such thne asa set- tlement of the exlating agitation Is arrived at, and at least until the question of the constl- tutlonality of tho law forbidding coryorations to cmploy Chineso hasbeen decided by the United States Courts, and the question of the condemnation of Chinatown settled. ‘The Second Regiment is disposed to view tho removal of thelr arms with indignation, and many of the members nssort that it Is an insult to the regiment, whoso loyalty to the State and to tho cause of Inw and order is unquestionable, Tho reason assigned by the oMcers'for the act is that the arms of tho regiment, being scattered around at the com- pany armorics, aro Mable to sclzure in the ovent of an unexpected movement by the disorderly classes, and thelr removal to the old City-IIall is merely precautionary, and not intended as any reilection upon the char- acter of thy regiment, : ‘The workingmien are considerably excited over these movementa, and many of them as- sert that tho authorities ure trying to force quarrel on them, Others say that the moye- ment fs designed to blu the Bonrd of Hicalth in the matter of the condemnation of Chinatown, while still, others hold that the whole thing is duo to tho unfounded fears of tho authorittes, It is ascertained that the removal of arms from the various arimories of tho companies of the Secand Regiment was dono by the direction of the Governor for thelr better protection, WASTITINGTON SENTIMENT, Bpectat Pspateh to The Chicago Tribune.
