The large audience showed Its apprecia- tion throughout the evening by long and continued applause. Mantell's interpretation of the noble- hearted Frenchman won him an ovation. Both Mantell and Miss Rosselle Knott were called before the curtain by the en- thusiastic audience. Miss Knott's acting | as Diane, the suspected wife, was grace- | ful, and she showed marked ability. | Howard Hall’s Laurent was good, and the other characters in the play were cleverly enacted. As Mr. Mantell was prevailed on to appear in “Monbars” before leaving the city, it is expected that large audi- ences will attend every performance. The California. There is variety enough at the Call- fernfa this week to please the most fas- tidious. It is probably the supposition of the management that there is not quite enough patriotism in “The Ensign,” S0 there has been introduced the Drum- mer Boy of the Rappahannock with his drums and his illustrated lecture between acts to stir the feelings of .the audience to a fighting pitch, and then they pre- sent a three-round go between Sharkey and Baker as a sort of solace to their feeling. Frederick Paulding, as the Ensign, does some of his best work, and barring a | little too much facial contortiof in the | last act, leaves nothing to be asked so | far as his rendition of the part is con- | cerned. He is well supported and the | company gives an even and smooth per- formance. ' —_—— LEAGUE OF THE CROSS. Company L Will Be Presented With a Handsome Silk Flag. Company L, League of the Cross Ca- dets, has made preparations for a grand patrotic demonstration in Mission Parlor Hall this evening. The boys will be pre- sented with a handsome silk flag by a friend and a splendid musical and literary entertainment will be given. An address will be delivered by Rev.

Colonel Smith and his officers put in another hafd day's work yesterday in getting the First Regiment in shape for the expected call to Manila. From the moment the drum called the reveille at sunrise until taps sounded at 10 o’clock and the men and officers turned in for their well-earend rest the day was one of hard work and busy preparation. ' The raw recruits were given four drills, and already they have made wonderful im- provement in the manual of arms and marching exercises. Colonel Smith is fast tightening the reins upon his men, and they are begin- ning torealizethat they arecommanded by an officer who understands his duty and knows how to conduct a camp upon purely military lines.” The first two days Colonel Smith permitted a number of men to leave camp, but hereafter only five passes will be issued to each company a day. There were a number of visitors yesterday who wanted to see the men in their quarters, but they were not allowed to do so. Thé orders are that they may visit the enlisted men on Tuesdays and Fridays, in the afternoon, between 2 and 3 o'clock, and this order will be strictly en- forced.” Colonel Smith says the encamp- ment is an emerfency one, and his com- mand may be called upon to move at any moment, and he Intends to be prepared. The men are beginning to realize that they are not out upon a picnic but that they have entered into a grave and re- sponsible contract with the United States s A LR e nectin, Fort Point, Fort Mason and the %x:&g States Quartermaster’s Department in the Phelan building has_been put in the colonel’s headquarters.

Regimental Sergeant-Major Badt is the adjutant’s assistant and under him he has Sergeant Sheahan of Com. pany I, who has been detafled as regi- | mental clerk. Captain Rethers had several additional hospital tents erected yesterday as a_pre- caution in case there should be need for them. He does not anticipate an epidemic among the men, but many of the minor cases of sickness are such as require that the soldiers should be kept where the sur- geon can keep an eye upon them and give them close attention. Regimental Quartermaster Dohrmann has got his department into effective shape, and he reports that the question of rations for the men is now upon an ex- cellent working basis and that there will be no shortage in the supplies. It was shortly before retreat when the City of Peking was discovered by the men and officers of the First and Sev- enth Regiments as she was coming in from the Golden Gate. Her appearance was a signal for an outburst of cheer- ing from the company streets where the men were aseembled, and from every throat there came the cry of “On to Manila,” and three times three and a' tiger for the City of Peking. Colonel Smith is daily besieged by anx- ious mothers who want to get their sons out of the regiment. They bring all sorts and kinds of excuses, such as their sons being their only support, when in fact in many cases the son had no em- ployment. The roster of the trades of the companies shows that in the regi- ment there are men of nearly every pro- fession, so that Colonel Smith, in a case of emergency, is well provided for with all kinds and sorts of skilled workmen. Last night _the officers of the Seventh cadled upon Colonel Smith and his officers at their headquarters. Captain Lockett, U. 8. A., invited Colonel Smith and his staff and company officers to witness a drill of the Fourth Cavalry, which will be held this mornlng upon the golf grounds of the Presidio. An order was issued yesterday from headquarters making some changes the routine schedule of camp. Guard mount will now take place at 7:3 a. m., assembly at 7:40 a. m., call to quarters at 9:45 p. m., and taps at 10 p. m. The officer of the day for to-day is Captain Sutlifte; officer of the guard, Lieutenant Otto Huber, and sergeant of the guard, Sergeant Flynn of D Company. Captain Rether’s hospital report for yesterday showed' 108 cases treated. None of them were of a serious nature. One | man of the Seventh was lying in his tent when his bayonet fell from the peg upon which it was hanging, and striking him above the right eye, Inflicted a small wound. He was the hero of the hour, | beingdthe first man to receive a bayonet wound. «In the camp of the Fourteenth United States Infant everything was in - fect shape, and it was a pretty -Igh?eto :nee ;glqor Robe and his staff wrapped UL 2 | gathiered ' proung | the thelr camp fire discussing the incidents of the day and their chances for going to | Manila. THE OUT OF TOWN TROOPS More Additions to the Men in the Local Arm- ories, The second of Lieutenant ColonelJohn- son’s two battalions came down from Stockton by boat yesterday morning and went to quarters in California Hall on Bush and Powell streets. Battery D of the “heavies” came up from Los Angeles | and found resting place in the old First | Regiment armory on Market and Tenth | streets. The first battalion of Lieutenant Colonel Johnson's command was exam- | ined during the day and most of the sec- | ond battalion was examined during the | night, and yesterday morning heavy bat- | teries A, B and C, with their officers, | were mustered In as volunteers. | The Second Battalion, destined to be “Second Battalion, Volunteer Cali- | had been assembled in | fornia Infantry,” Stockton from all over the San Joaquin Valley. Company E of Visalia, Company | € of Fresno and Company H of Merced | were brought to Stockton, where they | were jolned by Company A of that place. | The men are fairly well equipped so far | as the equipments go, but it will take a good deal to put them in proper trim. Company F of Fresno is the only com- any of the Sixth Infantry to be left at ome and the men of the organization are consequently very much dissatisfled. Its place in the command has been taken by Company E of Sacramento. Battery D, under command of Captain Henry Steere, came up from Los Angeles direct, 155 strong. The men had not been cxamined, but they had been carefully picked and there will not be many re- Jected. The battery will be mustered in day, and then the battalion being compiete it will start to-morrow to quar- ters in the old’ woolen mill at Black Point, where the whole command may be easily accommodated. The officers of the artil- lery Dbattalion are: Major, Frank 8. Rice; battalion adjutant, First Lieuten- ant John Koster; Battery A-—Captain, Denis Geary; first lleutenant, Thomas F. Barry; second lleutenants, A. P. Hayne and J. Morse; Battery B—Captain, Theodore J. Hay; first lieutenant, Herbert Choynski;_second_lieutenats, George B. Hine and Frank S.

BERKELEY, May 9.—Dr. John Coyle, president of the Berkeley High School sanitary commission, has a plan for the organization of high-school sanitary com- missions all over the State. He declares that Immediate action is necessary. “Our_California boys who will soon be ordered to Manila should not be allowed ‘foo unprepared to face the dangers and suffering of fleld and hospital. There are e e | department, which consists of a hook and thousands all over the State who should be glad to aid in the work of providing them with comforts. High schools snould organize sanitary commissions and when the organizations are complete they should communicate with Mrs. Willard B. Harrington, 1118 Sacramento street, San Francisco, who is president of the Berke- ley Red Cross Soclety. The organization will then be placed on the roster as an auxiliary and will be put in communica- tion with the executive committee at the headquarters in the cit; NORRIS BROTHERS Dog and Pony Show, at Central Park, Is Growing in Popularity Every Day. The entertainment is certainly of a high standard, and Norris Bros. deserve the financlal success with which they are meeting. For the little ones especially it is a show of unusual attractiveness. The animals are well and humanely treat- ed, and seem to enjoy the performance equally as well as the spectators. here are dogs that perform difficult alancing acts on chairs, ladders, tight ropes, ete,, while the lofty leaping of a ack 'of ten English grevhounds 1S won- erful and exciting. The handsome little Shetland ponies form a unique portion of the entertainment. But probably the most interesting feature of the pro- gramme is the work of the animal fire ladder, truck and hose wagons, drawn by pretty Iittle ponies, with dogs ahd monkeys as firemen, engaging in a re- alistic fire scene. Performances are given daily at 2:30 and 8:15 p. m. All children attending the matinees are given a pony ride. —_— e Failed to Appear. Policeman Say was before the Police Commissioners last night charged with assaulting John Shaughnessy. The lat- ter failéd to appear, and the charge against the officer was disrhissed. Say a short time ago entered a saloon at 766 Howard street to quell a disturb- ance, when he was attacked by Shaugh- nessy, who took his club away from him, The policeman drew his revolver and struck Shaughnesy over the head with it, The following day Shaughnessy preferred a charge of unofficerlike conduct against Say. After requesting frequent contin- uances Shaughnessy failed to appear last night and the case was dismissed. | Say is one of the most reuable officers | connected with the Southern station, and s held in high esteem by Captain Spil- ane. The cases of Policemen Irvine, Whalen and Silver, charged with engaging in a row, were continued for two weeks.
