THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1898. THE FOURTH U. S. CAVALRY READY TO GO Significant Order Issued at the Presidio Last Night—General Shafter Goes to Washington. 000000000 00C0O00C0 MPORTANT orders received ¢ at the Presidio last night @ J and K of the Fourth O United States Cavalry,now O stationed here, will soon O leave for the front. © Early in thé evening Lieu- o tenant Colonel Louis T. Morris, commanding the squadron of cavalry and the post, issued an order directing that no trooper should leave the reservation without special permrission. To officers and enlisted men this order to remain on the res- ervation day and night signifies that the command to go to the front is hourly expected. The gallant riders of the Fourth Cavalry are ready to march at a moment’s notice and are eager to join their comrades of the infantry and artillery now hastening to the scene of conflict. The garrison of the Presidio now consists of four troops of the Fourth Cavalry and three batteries of the Third Artillery. It is believed that the Gov- ernment will soon order a regi- ment or brigade of volunteers to garrison the post. Signs point to the use of all available regular troops for the campaign in Cuba. o ©0C00C000C00000000 ORDERS TO TROOPS. destination of the First Infantry d from New Orleans to 1 Shafter has been e change and on the ar- Presidio troops early next in New Orleans they r journey to Chatta- Queen and C 0000000000 00000000000000 Q00 (] ] o o ] 000000000000 0000 oga, via v and about fifteen hours’ ars. nly has the destination of the , changed, but telegraphic or- issued from the War Depart- y afternoon to the com- icers of the infantry and pa, to proceed r the purpase of con- United States troops Park. e attached to this sud- from original plans concentration of the point from which, in v Orleans, Mobile be garrisoned by ports £, and Tampa w militiz on General Shafter's ned that on the gen- Chattanooga he will to Washington, accom- am, »artmen wa of California and seen at the Occi- evening.

The officer, { who was recently placed under arrest, is still confined to the limits of the res- | ervation. Until his resignation is ac- | cepted he is subject to military con- | trol.

The Secretary said that the Monterey should remain here while the Monadnock was or- dered to Puget Sound This information was hailed with delight by the merchants of San Franci addition to this order from the S of the Navy, it was stated in the di that other vessels had been purchased by the Government for the protection of San Francisco. Colonel W. P.

P. Sullivan Jr., Colonel commanding First Regiment, League of the Cross Cadets, San Francisco—Sir: 1 am instructed by the Governor to acknowledge yours of the inst., In which you tender the services of the First Regiment of the League of the Cross Cadets, and to say to you that he fully ap- preciates the loyal spirit and patriotism dis- played by the officers and men of your regi- ment in tendering their services to the coun- try in time of need, and he begs to assure you that should the occasion arise when the serv- ices of your regiment are needed he shall cer- tainly avall himself of theiy offer tendering their services to this Government and will be pleased to receive the roster now being pre- pared by you. 1 am. very respectfully, A. W. BARRETT, Adjutant-General. The First Infantry Regiment, National Guard of California, may be called to war, and in consequence it will be given a rous- ing reception at the Mechanics' Pavillon this evening. The regiment will present a strictly military entertainment, preced- ed by a concert and followed by a ball. The one thousand guardsmen who com- pose the regiment have been in tralning for weeks upon the varfous features of the programme, and the resuit will, un- doubtedly, be a clever demonstration of what might be expected to take place in the event of actual service in the fleld. « The final work was done by the troops in the Pavilion last night. The engineer corps, Company B, made a hurried con- struction of the bridge over an imagi- nary stream, completing it in about fif- teen minutes. The programme is briefly as follows: Concert by the regimental band. Review tendered to Major-General Dickinson, aouard mount, Company F, Captain John F. er.

There cannot be a greater © field for the person of hu- O mane instincts than that of- fered by the Red Cross So- ciety, which is organized in the principal countries of the world. I am glad to see the Q000000000002 00 citement pervaded | squence of the passage of | Q@ r 100,000 volunteers, that | @ ©0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 | | movement under way here. Hide the fact as we may, modern warfare is a terrible thing, and the best military arrangements are not ade- quate to properly minister to the wants of the wounded and sick on the field of bat- tle. It is a glorious thought that the spirit of humanity and Christian charity per- meates the field where the cruelties of war reign with unabated fury. Wherever the red cross is seen on a flag of white the hearts of soldiers will beat in gratitude for the angels of mercy that hover near. It is a beautiful thought that all the places touched by those ministering to the wants of the wounded and dying are hallowed ground. Their stores and supplies are sacred under the terms of the Geneva treaty, and it is a hu- mane sentiment that makes these concessions on behalf of the wounded and dying. I know of no more worthy and patriotic field for those who desire to aid than to fol- low the example of the Red Cross Society. To Miss Clara Barton is due the noble work of inducing this Government to sign the Geneva treaty. Her sisters in California can- not do a nobler service than extend all possible aid to that movement, which recognizes | to the unfortunate. | that I'll have to give up | altruism is not the rights of the helpless even amid the terrors of war, and makes generous conces- sions to those who go forth to aid the wounded, under what- ever flag they fall.—William S.

Yesterday was ladies’ day in sanitary commission affairs. San Francisco wo- men have discovered that there is a | place for them in the economy, or ex- travagance, of war. And that discovery | has gone far toward reconciling these unconverted members of the great peace party. “I don’t believe there should be a| war. I hoped there wouldn’t be any. | No one—nothing could make me believe that it was coming. Yes, one thing| could, and it did. When I saw those | poor fellows yesterday with their stern, | serious faces, when I realized that the | five hundred might never come back, I | cried—yes, cried like a babw, It's a ter- | rible thing,-and the only way to cure | one’s heartache is to do what David | told Christie in Louise Alcott's ‘Work.’ | Remember? “‘Don’t mourn, dear heart,’ he saic, ‘but work!” " It was a school girl who sald this vesterday. She had a tiny flag on which was printed “Remember the Maine” pinned on the lapel of her Jjacket. She still wore the colors upon her breast to do honor to the men from the Presidio, and her sailor hat, set back on her wind-tossed blonde halr, | had a red-white-and-blue band around O n. This little girl has sounded the key- note. She has expressed in a word what is the feeling of every woman ia San Francisco to-day. Of all the wu- men I met yesterday—and the great humanitarian party knows not suc! boundaries as Nob Hill or south Market—every one deplored the war. “What's fame to a woman?” Her stake is too great. She cannot look upon the probabilities of loss with philosophy, She has hoped against hope that it was all a false alarm, and now that the months of restless anx:ety have culminated, now that Uncle Sam and the haughty little Don have given each other the cut direct, she wakes al. of a sudden to the fact that it wasn’t make-believe after all, and complains that it all happened so quickly she can- not realize it. But though San Francisco women'’s hearts may be unpractical, their heads and their hands are steady and skill- ful. All day to-day inquiries have come in to The Call office. Women havs tel- ephoned, they have written, they have come to offer their services personally. “Show us the way,” the voices say and never was there a sweeter sym- phony concert—"we’ll follow.” And what such following means may be understood when one remembers that California contributed $1,234,257 31 in three years during the Civil War. “It was just at this crisis when the commission’s plans for a tho:oughly national work were embarrassed with the practical difficulties of a feeblz and inadequate supply of money,” says the official history of the United States Sanitary Commission, “which there ap- peared to be no adequate means of in- creasing; when a system of canvassing the country for money and supplies was hindered by the want of ineans to support canvassers in the home re!d— it was just at this point of time and at this crisis in its history when three months more of such trials as had em- barrassed the commission for the three h | months preceding, would have probably brought it to a premature death, that the news reached the public that the Mayor of San Francisco had telegraph- ed the President of the United States that $100,000 had been raised in that city for the benefit of sick and wounded v s, and had ask=1 his advice h what channel this magnificunt contributicn should be appiiel. The Presicent consulted the surgeon gen- eral, who immediately recommended that the Sanitary Comm! on should be sclected as the almoner of Califer- nia’s teunty.” This time San Francisco is going to | take the lead. The State will follow, and then the nation will join the glori- ous procession. Within a day or two now the com- mission must be formed. The emotion of the non-combatants who saw those straight, steadily moving lines of blue sweep down the broad avenue and off toward the bay Is fast crystallizing into power. It is feeling made action— the most powerful weapon for effect- ing miracles. “Let us each be taxed to a certain amount weeklv supgested a woman yesterday. “There’'s no limit to the sum we could raise.” “Let’s sell another sack of flour for $40,000,” said another. “Let's inaugurate a monster falir,” said a woman who is president of two societies, an officer of a third and a member of two others. “I haven't any strength to give,” sighed a woman whose life is devoted what doing. But—but, oh, of course, know, it’s all nonsense! you but of what we must. It doesn’t make any difference what I say I'll do. When the time comes I'll be in it—I know I will. Nothing could keep me cut—not all the doctors’ threats in the world. This is the way we women fight, and the nurse's cap and apron is our regalia. I'll wear the red cross with the rest of them. I'd feel like a deserter if 1 didn’t. All this energy of sympathy, all this a hysterical emorion which will pass away when once the memory of those marching lines of blue become dim. The women who have been first to volurteer, who have ear- liest recognized the needs of the situa- tion—this First Infantry of women is made up of the busiest women in San Francisco to-day. Those whose lives are devoted to helpfulness—whether they live in beautiful homes high upon the hill or in the most modest of lodg- | ings—women who serve the poor and the sick: women whose days are taken up with insistent calls upon their time, their patience, their purses; these are the ones who have time. They don't know what it is ‘-~ shirk. These are the ones who will sign a call for a meeting ands who will attend and serve upon a commission with that same enthusi- asm that made Easterners say envious- 1y 1n 1365, It the S tary Commission had adopted in all the loyal States the method it employed on the Pacific Coast twice the large revenues they en- joyed might have been realized.” Up at the Pacific Heights School, where principal, teachers and pupils are one at heart—and that a big, hu- man, loyal heart—there's patriotism | enough to equip a sanitary commis- sion single-handed. These boys and girls have a plan which they don’t in- | tend to reveal till things are ripe. But the first gun fired will set these young patriots ablaze. And 35,000 other boys and girls are waiting to be made aids de camp of the peaceful corps that fights only disease and suffering. Here’s a story that was told me yes- terday: One of the belles of San Fran- cisco is weary of social triumphs. has implored her people to permit her to follow the bent of a temperament which takes naturally to nursing. The rehabilitation of exhausted nature, the making well again, the sight of that convalescence which is the hygienic artist's triumph in his skill, appeals more to this girl than ballroom vic- tories and cotillion favors. So pro- nounced is her vocation that she made a friend of a trained nurse, who starts shortly to the front, and asked per- mission to accompany her. Her people and her friends are 1.t yet aware of this determination. But to change it— now that men have suddenly been transformed into soldiers and women into nurses—they will find a harder task than it w:s before.

Davie and wife, Miss Grace Dickey, Miss Millicent Fell, Gibbon, Miss K. Gibbon, Miss Alice F. rick, Theodore Hoffmann and wife, Mrs. W. Howard, A. W. Keech, Mrs. Z. K. Myers, W. D.

Ever since she came to Pacific waters the captain and crew have been in hot water, and the steamer _has been alternately in the hands of the United States Marshal and on the drydock for repairs. She left Puget Sound last October with a load of lumber for China, but on November 20 put into Hako- date In distress. On January 19 she was overhauled, but the surveyors refuseé to give her a certificate, and ever since the engineer’'s crew has been trying to patch up the boilers so as to make her pass muster. By last steamer from Yokohama comes the news that there was almost a riot in the_engine-room. Squire Shires and John Nesbit, two boiler-makers, dis- obeyed Captain Cameron’s orders, and furthermore assaulted Second Engineer J. W. Karston. The chief engineer also was in the trouble, but as he was too drunk to appear in court when the case was called the outcome of the fracas will not be known until the Rio de Janeiro arrives. The steamer Venus is still in quarantine and is liable to remain there until Cap- tain McGregor and his men submit to being fumigated. Two tugs were sent over to bring the vessel to tne dock, but Dr. Rosenau would not release the vessel. It would now appear as though the quaran- tine muddle was about to become an in- ternational question. Captain McGregor asserts that the State quarantine officer passed his _vessel and admitted her to pratique. Then along comes the Federal officer and places her in quarantine. Cap- tain McGregor refuses to submit to fumi- gation and_has appealed to the British Consul, and there the matter rests. In the meantime the Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company and the consignees of the vessel are making the stubborn skipper’s life miserable w..ch petitions asking him to give in and take the neces- sary bath. Captain ‘‘Dan’ Haskell started for Un- alaska on the steamer Bertha yesterday. Alameda | He has been en a year’s leave of ab- sence by the Pilot Commissioners in or- der to superintend the towing of the | Alaska Commercial Company’s river steamers from Unalaska to St. Michael, and also the workings of the company’s fleets on the Yukon. William E. Mighell has purchased_the ship James Nesmith from her New York owners. She is now at San Diego, having made the voyage around the-Horn in the fast time of 122 days. From San Diego | the Nesmith will go to Puget Sound, where Captain McLeod, who is expected | daily from Portsmouth, N. H., on the | schooner Concord, will ' take command. | From the Sound the Nesmith will take a load of coal to St. Michael, and will there meet the ship Rufus E. Wood, which is now loading here for that port. The Wood is in command of Captain W. J. McLeod, brother of the McLeod on the Concord, and at St. Michael the brothers willgchange ships. W. J. will take the Nesmith and *Concord” McLeod the Rufus E. Wood. ADVERTISEMENTS. A WAR WITH SPAIN would find Uncle Sam putting the proper finish on Alfonso with ease. It isn’t so easy, though, to find a laundry that can finish off a shirt, collar or cuff in such an artistic manner as we turn out every day. The snowy whiteness and fine fin- | 1ish that characterize our work is | its best recommendation, and you | will never entrust it to less ex- | pert hands.
