[} THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1898 LAMP FIRES “AT THE ~THRES . OTLS OPPOSED BY ORGANIZED LABOR President McKinley Urged Not to Make Him a Brigadier-General, Resolutions Unanimously Adopted by the Building Trades Council and Telegraphed to the Chief Executive. At a meeting of the Building Trades Council at 915 Market street last night, presided over by T. Crawnford, P. H. McCarthy, president of Carpenters’ and Joiners’ Union No. 22, introduced the resolution: which were »pted unanimously and a copy im- =diately telegraphed to President Mc- Kinley: ‘Whereas, The name of Harrison G. Otis has been presented to the Presi- dent as an applicant for the appoint- ment of brigadier-general of the TUnited States Volunteers, and Whereas, Senators White and Per- kins are urging the said appointment of Harrison G. Otis, and in the event of id appointment said appointee would be placed at the head of troops mustered in from California, and Whereas, The said Harrison @. Otis is now and has always been hated and despised by the organized labor of California through the an- tagonistic, unreasonable and undem- ocratic stand taken by him against labor upon every occasion, and Whereas, The insult cast by him upon the National Guard of Califor- nia is still fresh in the memories of our guardsmen and our people, and Whereas, As the troops which California will send to the front will be almost exclusively drawn from the ranks of labor, it would be unwise and unjust to place at their head a man so thoroughly loathed and de- spised, and would result in raising discord by taking from said troops their patriotism and valor through compulsory service under such a com- manding officer; therefore be it Resolved, That in the event of this appointment we will hold Senators White and Perkins personally re- sponsible for an action so repugnant to our wishes. Resolved, That we disapprove of the action and strenuously protest against the appointment, as we are fully aware that it would be antago- nistic to the best interests and valor- ous service of our troops. Resolved, That it is the sense of this council that such honors be con- ferred upon those who enjoy the con- fidence and respect of the people of this State, who have spent years of their time in bringing the militia of California to its high standard of ex- cellence, to the exclusion of one who has done all in his power to hold the same up to ridicule and has proven himself so unpopular with our people. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the Presi- dent and the above-mentioned tena- tors and also to the San Francisco press. READY FOR THE CAMP California Troops Being Rapidly Got Into Condition. rnia troops, now being 1 into the service of the United are not equipped to the extent active service. These ed out at the expense | and will be me basis as the reg- lothing and equipage now of the volunteers will be and a te author Active prep- ns are now being made, and it expected that within the next ten | days the volunteer regiments will be in perfect condition. a camp will be se- be located on or near | rvation.

Opposite this | Presidio rifle range, is | in camp will no doubt be , adjoini ) re; the on ere th located veral other localities have | been looked over, but objections have | been raised against them. General Henry C. Merrlam, com- > departments of Columbia | ornia, who was recently 1, has instruct- s of the Depart- lifornia to furnish rations nteers at the camp. The hasing commissary in this city is arrangements for the es- t of a fully adequate system for food. ted States medical depart- S » received instructions to ry preparations. A full y of medical stores and surgical eceipt given for the same | ary authorities, ,lnd' | ed over to the volunteer medical de- partment. Captain Oscar F. Long, assistant quartermaster, United States army, acting depot and chief quartermaster of the Department of California, is probably the busiest man in the ser- vice, stationed on the Pacific Coast. The captain is a young, energetic of- ficer, and is capable of meeting any emergency. Captain Long has received authority from the War De; with formal contracts, day an informal etc., contract awarded for 1000 cords of hard wood for the ‘volunteer camp. The army supply depot is kept very busy in getting ready for issue the ar- ticles of clothing, camp and garrison will be equipage needed by the troops, in ad- dition to the supply now on hand that was issued from the State of Califarnia. The necessary transportation, con- sisting of wagons, harness and mules, will be purchased under informal con- tract by the quartermaster’s depart- ment and distributed to the different organizations as directed by the com- manding general of the Department of California. Governor Budd has already submitted neer of the Spring | to the military authorities statements of what is required in addition to what s now on hand to properly equip the volunteers for fleld service. This state- ment shows the immediate requirement of the troops of quartermaster and ord- nance stores. The former will be sup- plied from San Francisco and the ord- nance stores and equipments will be issued from Benicia Arsenal. There is a sufficient quantity of quar- termaster and ordnance stores on the Pacific Coast to fully equi: California’s quota of volunteers. When a deficiency exists immediate supply will be fur- nished from Eastern depots. Major Field, acting adjutant general of the department of California, is well acquainted with the needs of the regu- lars and the volunteers that will soon form part of his command. He is in constant communication by wire with General Merriam, and sees that zll the orders coming from the general are properly executed. General Merriam is at present at Vancouver Barracks, Washington, but it is very probable truments will be provided and turn- that he will be in San Francisco the FIRST LIEUTENANT SIDNEY A. CLOMAN. 2 {f i | Wl The Officer of the Fifteenth Inrflntru,’U. S. A, Who Is Acting Quartermaster and Commissary of Subsistence of United States Volunteers. PR early part of next week. The general is organizing the Oregon and Washing- ton volunteers. The passage of the army reorganiza- tion bill nrovides for 250 second lleu- tenants not now included in the mili- tary organization of the army. The first class at West Point, consisting of sixty members, graduated April 26. will be used. The present second class at the Military Academy will be gradu- ated in June, and will fill seventy more places. Further vacancies will be filled by the enlisted men, who have already passed the competitive examination, and a number of appointments will be made from civil life. Joseph Geiger, now at Fort Mason, and John R. Gittings, now at Benicia, Barracks, privates of the Hospital Corps, United States army, have been ordered relieved from duty at their re- spective posts and directed to proceed to the camp near Fort Winfield Scott, reporting upon arrival to Colonel Mar- cus P. Miller, Third Artillery, for duty with the troops in that camp. It is positively known that Major General Dickinson has received instruc- tions from the Governor to take such steps as he may deem necessary to im- mediately rehabilitate the National Guard. General Dickinson has a plan prepared for this purpose and will is- sue the orders to-day or to-morrow from his headquarters, which have been established in the Mills building. Colonel Fairbanks of the Fifth, Colonel Guthrie of the Second, Major Hayes of the Fifth, Colonel Whitton of the Fifth and Major Elliott of the Fifth were at headquarters last night and held a conference with the adjutant general on military business pertaining to their commands. Two companies of the heavy artillery have been ordered by Major Rice to as- semble at 8 o'clock this morning at their armory on Market street, between Ninth and Tenth, from which place they will march to the First Regiment armory at the corner of Page and Gough streets to be mustered into ser- vice. The rolls now contain 492 men, T. M. Cluff. The general also sent a dis- pateh to Brigadier General Last yester- day Instructing him not to bring along with the Seventh any soldiers who have families who are dependent upon them, or any that are physically disqualified. The fact is the men of the Seventh have already been examined by the regimental surgeons of that organization, but the; will also have to pass the physical exam- ination when they arrive here. Colonel Johnson of the Sixth Regiment was closeted with the Governor for quite a while during the earlier part of the day. He seemed to be in an exceedingly hspgy frame of mind when he came out of the Governor’s office, and the cause for the same was found in the official statement made by Governor Buaa that Colonel Johnson would command the two bat- talions of infantry, Elther Captain Rottanzi or Major Ped- lar of General Muller's staff will be ap- ointed surgeon of the battalion of in- ?amry, The chances are that Rottanzi will secure the appointment, and that Pedlar will be given a surgeonship in some other command. Major Hayes of the Fifth Regiment is investigating the destruction of Colonel Fairbanks’ picture in Oakland by some member of that regiment. It has been traced to one man, and he will be severely dealt with by the officers of the Fifth as soon as Major Hayes officially reports the same to General Barrett. Captain Louis Turner of the Naval Bat- talion, who has just returned from Alas- ka, was at headquarters yesterday, but did not get a chance to see the Governor. He reports that the sailor boys are eager and anxious to see service, and that they are trained to the hour, so to speak. Col- onel Thomas Barry was also at head- quarters early in the morning. Major General Dickinson will issue the necessary orders to-day calling out the companies that have been chosen to form the battalions of infantry. They wil as- semble here about the middle of next week and be mustered into service just as soon as the heavy artillery has been disposed of by Captain Carrington. The Seventh Regiment will leave Los Angeles early this mo and will_ be ac- mm;{)amed by Brigadier General Last and R sts While 1t was not officially given out by the Governor, vet it is nositively known that the commissioned officers of the First are to be Te-examined and subjected to the same rigid physical examination that the men have been made to undergo, the Monitor, has volunteered his services chaplain. s kept quiet. Governor Budd when war first seemed Inevitable. Father O'Ryan was about the first clergyman to volunteer, but the FATHER O'RYAN, WHO WANTS TO GO TO THE FRONT, Father P.

He sent his name in to He has volunteered to go as He is one of the most popular priests of this city, and has been connected with the Monitor for a number of years. but only 300 will be taken, giving 150 | men to the company, but the rea® will be retained as they may be needed to recruit the two companies that are to come from Sacramento and Los Ange- les. Captain Carrington last night re- ceived the following dispatch: ‘Washington, D. C., May 5, 1898. Confer with the Governor as to the nu- merical and other designations to be given to volunteer regiments when mustered into the United States service. Designa- tions thus arrived at will be satisfactory to the War Department. . CORBIN, Adjutant General U. S. A, This will enable California’s National Guard to keep their regimental forma- tion intact, and it is a source of great | rejoicing among the officers of the | Guard. 3 It is known that Governor Budd will | in all probability confirm all the recom- mendations that Major Rice of the ar- tillery may make for the appointment of officers of his command. IN CAMP ON SATURDAY Volunteers Will Go Under Canvas at the Pre- sidio To-Morrow. The California Volunteers will go into camp next Saturday, if plans now formed are not changed. In regard to water sup- ply for the troops, a conference was held yesterday at United States army head- quarters in this city. Herman Schussler, chief engineer of the Spring Valley Water Works, indicated to Major Field, acting adjutant general, U. S. A., and Captain Carrington, the mustering officer, the places where mains of the company’s sys- tem might be tapped. { At headquarters of the State military forces in the California Hotel, a vast deal of business necessary for the equipment and mobilization of the California Volun- teers was transacted in a systematic manner by Governor Budd and Adjutant Genera) Barrett. Among the callers at headquarters who were granted a conference with the Gov- ernor was Mayor Snyder of Los Angeles. He denied that his visit had any signifi- cance or anything to do with military matters. It is believed that he called upon the Governor to discuss politics. John A. Koster, who has been appointed first lieutenant and adjutant of the bat- talion of heavy artillery by Governor Budd, called at headquarters yesterday to see General Barrett. He thanked the Governor for his appointment, and stated that he was glad to have a chance to serve the Government. Lieutenant Kos- ter was at one time In the service of the brigade of volunteer troops of South Carolina. He has also seen eight years of service in the National Guard of this State, having been, in 1887, appointed captain and ald-de-camp of the comman- der of the Second Brigade. Major General Dickinson has made the following changes In the detall of the offi- cers of his sfl The following have been ordered upon active duty: Colonel L. Barrere, Colonel J. J. Dwyer, Colonel C.T, and Colonel Stanley, Major L. 8. Schitt and that an order has been received from ;hc 3\'ar Department to have this en- orced. REGULAR ARMY. Active Work in Recruiting at the Presidio. The only sign of activity at the Presidio yesterday was centered in and about the office of Lieutenant Boyd, recruiting offi- cer of the post. Twelve of the applicants for enlistment succeeded in passing the medical examination of the post sur- geons and were sworn in. Some of the men presented flattering letters of rec- ommendation from well known business | men of this city, and the character of the men generally is far above the average of applicants for enlistment. Several of the recruits are especially desirable on account of their familiarity with the handling of machinery of sl{ kinds, and such men will be assigned to the artillery branch of the service. ‘While nothing definite has been done regarding the encampment of volunteers on the Presidio, Colonel Morris has, how- ever, concludéd, after a careful inspection of the grounds, that the only available places are located on the slope to the left of the railroad, at the entrance to the reservaion, and the flat on which the tar- get range is situated. Water will, how- ever, have to be brought to the first named place from some point outside of the reservation, as it is claimed that the present sup%ly is sufficient only for the regular number of troops stationed at the post. The Third Artillery band, wnich came over from Angel Island Wednesday, will probably return to that place soon, as no rovision has beeen made for maintain- ng the band at the Presidio. It is there- fore uncertain whether the band will give a concert this afternoon. ——— RANGE OF GUNS. San Francisco in No Dan- ger of Serious Bom- bardment. Colonel Chu-‘es R. Suter, chief of the Pacific Division of the United States En- gineer corps, 18 recognized in the army as one of the leading experts in modern artillery. He served with General Gil- | more in the siege of Charleston and di- rected the fire of the ten-inch rifled Par- rott guns, which had a range of seven miles. The modern ten-inch rifled gun of this day has an extreme range of ten miles from a shore elevation. The Scientific American of April 16, 1898, published a diagram of the defenses of San Francisco, and added this comment to the publication of the map: “In point of fact with the eleven-inch guns of the Vizeaya the vessel might lie off the coast at the spot marked A in the engraving and play at bombarding the town of San Francisco as long as she pleased. The guns within the Golden Gate would be powerless to prevent the bombardment.” ‘When Colonel Suter was shown the ar- ticle and the engraving he said without hesitation that the article was absurd, as the position marked A off Seal Rock was in the range of the twejve-inch rifled mortar battery. ‘‘Apart from this, re- marked Colonel Suter, “it is doubtful whether a ship coulu stand the recoil of guns elevated to the degree of throwing a shell into San Franvisco from that point. There is always talk of this kind to cause women and children to shiver, but the thing is absurd. Every shot from a high-power gun of eleven-inch caliber costs a large sum of money. No sane commander would think of expending his valuable ammunition for the mere sake of throwing shells into a city which he could not capture. When cities are_bom- barded the small shells are used. When they explode in a building they do the work of destruction as thoroughly as big shells. I doubt very much if the damage to San Francisco by a bonibardment at the range described would destroy prop- erty equal to the value of the ammunition expended. Many of the shells would fall on the streets or vacant, lots. “‘A shell passing through abuildingwith- out exploding within the structure causes little damage. Shells might pass through the Claus Spreckels building without doing a great deal of damage proviaed that one did not explode inside the struct- ure. An interior explosion would create great havoc.” Colonel Suter remarked that the plans of defense contemplated the construction of a battery near Lake Merced, but at present it was essential to so fertify the Golden Gate as to prevent a hostile fleet from getting into the harbor. The life of a ship depends so much on its supply of effective ammunition that a commander cannot afford to throw away his shelis in idle bombardment. THE FIRST REGIMENT MUSTER The First Reglment will face the oath to-day, and to-night it will sleep in the Presidio under the eye of the Govern- ment. The last company was examined by the surgeons early this morning, ‘and then they heaved a sigh of relief, for they had been on duty from early yesterday morn- ing, and hearly 800 men had passed through their hands. The regiment will be mustered in as a body. It has been thought best to do so, for under those circumstances the com- missions of the officers will all date from the time of their original issue in the National Guard, as their rank as volun- teers will all date from to-day. It was announced from Washington that there would be battalion adjutants allowed the regiment, and in that case there may be a chance for providing for some officers on the regimental staff who have been legislated out of office. In case Colonel Smith is consulted he will recom- mend Lieutenant Tobin inspector of rifle practice and Lieutenant Huber commis- sary for the battalion places. There is also a vacancy in the second lieutenancy of Company I, and Outo Swerdfiger, the regimental sergeant- major, will be recommended by the colo- nel, if he has a chance to recommend. The officers of the regiment were ex- amined last evening, and all of them passed, while the men cheered every time one of their own leaders came from the examining-room with a smile of tri- umph. It has been decided that the designation of the First Regiment, after being mus- tered in, will be the irst Regiment of California Volunteers. The Seventh Regiment would in the ordinary course of events be known as the Second California Volunteers, but there is a desire on the art of that regiment to retain its own g&igna.!lon, and the Governor is disposed to allow it to do so. It bhas also been decided that those men from out of town who come to San Francisco in good faith for the purpose of being examined and mustered in will be returned to their homes at the ex- pense of the Government, but they must have come in good faith. It has been found, too, that most of the supplies of the men of the regiment need can be purchased here, and this will be done. The men will be given clothes, shoes. Springfield rifles of the model of ’84 for all the old ones, besides tents, blankets and everything pertaining to the soldier.

He walked into the armory with a pronounced military bearing, and asked to s, the recruiting officer. He was properly directed, and he at once went forward. He saluted the examining sur- geon and made his application to be en- rolled as a soldier. “I am a corporal of the League of the Cross Cadets,” he said, “but Colonel Sul- livan, our commanding officer, is so long about calling us out that I got tired wait- ing. I am a son of Thomas Flynn, a vet- eran of the Civil War. I admit I do not look to be very strong but I can hold my own with any one of the men of the Na- tional Guard. If it is possible to take me I would like you to do so, as I will g0 along anyway. “Come to-morrow,” said the surgeon, “and bring your father, the veteran, with you, and we will see what can be done.” The boy retired, saluting as he went.
