The truth is they are a stalwart lot of well-developed young men, and but few of them are lacking in physical requirements. They are all well drilled and are really up-to-date soldlers. Headquarters for the volunteer regi- ment rafsed here last week have been opened at the Nadeau Hotel. The ser- vices of the regiment have been proffered to the President by Congressman Barlow | and Senator White. No difficulty will be | experienced here in recruiting the Nation- | al Guard up to the standard after the Seventh Regiment has departed., | VENTURA, May 3.—Late this afternoon Colonel J. R.

They were all in heavy marching order and made a very fine appearance. From Folsom street they were marched along East to .ombard ‘street and there put in two hours of steady drilling on the wharf.

Musicians of the Third Artillery Came Yesterday and Gave Music at Retreat. Over Aslde from the feeling of suspense pre- | vailing among the regular army stationed | at the Presidio there is very little of im- | portance going on. Each mail, however, is expected to bring orders from General Merriam, commander of the departments | | of California and the Columbia, which it is hoped will break the monotony of wait- | ing and give some definite information re- garding the future movements of troops stationed at and near San Francisco. Many of the officers signify their earnest desire to go to Manila, and it is reasoned that such officers as may be designated by the Government to go with the troops from this coast should be selected from among the regular army officers stationed here, on account of their being at the nearest military post to the Philippine | Islands and because they believe it to| be the most feasible plan to adopt; be- sides, there Is the consideration of both time and expense. The artillery officers located at the va- rious military posts in the harbor of San Francisco, sald to be the most efficient of any in that branch of the army, are especially anxious to make a practical demonstration of their ability, and for | that reason desire to be sent to some point where there is a possibility of an early opportunity to do so. In speaking of the encampment of Cali- | fornia volunteers on the reservation, the officers as a unit express themselves as being emphatically opposed thereto, but | for sanitary reasons only. The place said to have been selected is west of the Golf | Links, and lies adjacent to the lake from which' the Marine Hospital and milita post water supply is obtained, and is the patural watershed from the dratnage of Which the lake is supplied. It is therefore belleved to be a dangerous place to make camp, as the seepage would impregnate the water of the lake and thus imperil the lives of the men. Point Lobos and Point Bonita were suggested as being well adapted for the purposes of a camp; be- | Sides, affording excellent landing places from’ the water, both points should be lations governing the po- The army re Silitary being strictly licing of military posis are | enforced at the Presidio, and no one need be surprised to be commanded to halt and instructed to turn back at any point the reservation.
