CAMD OF THE VOLUNTEERS. Men of the First and Sev- enth California Eager for Dispatches from | 3, 7 tened eagerly to the stories of camp life that the boys had to tell. i Lieutenant Neall, Fourth Artillery, United States army, who has been ap- poimgd acting chief quartermaster of the volunteer regiments, was busy yes- terday lookiig after the needs of the two commands. He instructed Colonels Smith and Berry to ascertain just exactly what they needed, so that they méght be abie to make the proper requisitions upon his department. Lieutenant Neall safd that the troops were well supplied in the way of rations as far as was necessary to keep them in camp from day to day, but that they yvet needed many supplies before they would be in shape to go to Manila. He remarked that it would take at least ten days to equip 10,000 troops. The am- munition is expected here in_ the near future. Some of the troops that will go to Manila with the volunteers have not et been recruited. Upon a conservative timate, it can be safely d that the regiments will not be in shape to leave before the 20th of this month. A. W. Kimball has been commissioned by Governor Budd to be first lieutenant and regimental quartermaster of the Se enth Regiment. He was mustered into the service by Captain Carrington ye: terday afternoon and immediately took charge of his de; tment. He formerly held the same office in the Fifth Regi- ment. The adjutant-general of the Department of California is in receipt of the following dispatch: ““Vancouver Barracks, Washington, “May 10, 1838, Adjutant-General, Department of Cali- forr If troops go to Manila each man should have a suit of brown canvas cloth- ing and two white sults, medium light woolen underwear and barrack shoes. rvas clothing as now issued for fatigue ar will answer.

In Com- pany D all of the commissioned officers who came with the company from Los Angeles failed to pass the physical exam- ination. They were Captain Thomas and Lieutenants Reynolds and Phillips. H. T. Matthews has been appointed captain, A. E n and Samuel Crawford lieu- All of these officers have seen service in the National Guard and have excellent records. Captain Farrell, one of the assistant surgeons of the First, relieved Captain Rethers vesterday. The two surgeons will be in command of the hospital corps upon aiternate days while the regiment remains in camp. The camp inspection of the First was made yesterday by Cap- tain Sutliffe and Captain Rethers. One hundred an eighty men were treated at the hospital of the volunteer command at the Presidio yesterday. There is one serious case of fever which the surgeons are watching closely. A committee of native daughters of California visited the volunteers at the Presidio yesterday and arranged to sup- ply each soldier with a housekeeper’s Kit. THE QUOTA IS IN THE FIGLD. Prompt Work at State Headquarters Highly Commended. The turning over to the United States of California’s quota of volunteers called for by the President’s proclamation completed by Governor Budd yesterda and with the exception of a few minor details the executive of the State of Cali- fornia will have complied with every de- mand in connection with what is one of the memorable events in the history of the State.

The Southern Pacific Company has re- ceived instructions from its Eastern con- nections to make arrangements for the transportation of 1200 volunteer troops from Denver and 300 from Salt Lake, who will come by way of Ogden. It i also highly probable “that many more will come from Boise, Idaho, Hélena, Mont., and St. Paul, Minn., probably by way of Portland, though arrangements may yet be made to bring them via Ogden aiso. The number of volunteers is not definitely known, but it will no doubt amount alto- gether to some men. SOLDIERS AT A BANQUET. Magnificent Testimonial to the First and Seventh Regiments, Califor- nia Volunteers. The banquet tendered by Major General Dickinson and staff to the fleld, staff and listeners to outbursts of hearty applause and ringing cheers. There were no set Bgeechea, but almost all present had something to say to con- tribute his quota to making the affair the success that it was. Among those who responded were Colonel James F.

The Navy Department is not do- ing anything about coal, however, and the supposition is that Dewey has all he wants, It is known that there was a large amount of coal stored at Manila, and this must now be in Dewey's bands, so the Government s not worrying about the coal supply in Asiatic waters.

General Dickinson was toastmaster, and on his right sat Adjutant General Bar- | rett. On his left were General Last, the { pride of the Seventh Regiment; Irving \L/[. Scott, Hugh Craig, Captain Carring- | t Lieutenant 8. A. Cloman, Willlam | Cluft and W. H. Chamberlain. Governor iBudd and Mayor Phelan were unable to attend and sent their regrets. Patriotism was also manifested in the menu card, and such dishes as ‘‘Polsson a la Sampson,” ‘“Punch a la Dewey,” “Oregon Blue Points,” Matanzas Let- tuce,” “Infantry Riesling’”” “and *Artillery Claret” served to whet the appetites and quench the thirst of the soldlers, while music of a patriotic character roused the der is that a banquet so complete in every | 4, | tion' of troops and the chartering of ves- sels for that purpose belongs to the army, and so all arrangements of that kind have been left to the army quartermasters, Admiral Miller, who arrived here on the Peking on Monday night, has reported to he Navy Department, but had_received no orders up to last évening. It is his intention to m&e his flag on one of the vessels here—probably the Monterey—un- less orders from Washington interfere. The Monterey Is the only vessel here with accommodations for a’ flag officer, and even then he will have to take the ‘quar- ters of the captain, for as yet there is no captain on board the Monterey. Twenty men were passed by the navel recruiting officers yesterday, and all were gent up to the navy-vard to the Inde- pendence last evening. The office at present is shipping only first-class ma- chinists, first-class firemen, scamen and ordinary seamen. As the Charleston will take away nearly all the available men when she is fully commissioned and the Philadelphia and Yorktown will both need full crews, it is expected that before long the recruiting office will be shipping classes of men. WANTED THEIR OWN OFFICERS Company L of the Seventh Regiment Objects to Political Leaders. Mutiny broke out in the ranks of the Seventh Infantry, California Volunteers, on Monday, and for a time it looked as it though Colonel Berry would be short one entire company at least. The trouble, according to the state- ments of some of the officers and all the men, and nobody has seen fit to deny them, was due to an attempt of one offi- cer to pay off some political obligations at the expense of certain officers of the regiment. Vague rumors of the scheme were in circulation before the regiment left the south, but nothing definite was learned until just before Captain Car- rington began to muster the companies into the volunteer service. Company L from Santa Ana wanted Lieutengnt Walter Greenleaf in the place of N. A. Ulm, and the latter finally re- signed in Greenleaf’s favor, to the great satisfaction of the company. ‘The*other officers of the Seventh who ‘weré summarily dropped were Lieuten- ant Allen, Company A; Lieutenant George, Company C; Lieutenant Saye, Company E; Lieutenant Sloate, Com- pany K. One of the officers of the Seventh who failed to pass the physical examination was Major Bangham. His place will be filled by Lieutenant Colonel Welch of General Last's staff. all Regulars Arrive. Headed by the splendid regimental band four companies of the Fourteenth United States Infantry landed at the Market- street ferry at 10:30 o'clock on Monday morning, and without pomp or ceremony marched up Market street to Golden Gate avenue, out that thoroughfare to Van Ness, to Lombard street, to the Presidio. Major Robe commanded the battalion, with First Lieutenant Hunt acting as ad- | jutant, and First Lieutenant Israuthoff, guartermaster. The battalion is composed of Company D, Captain McCommon, Sec- | ond Lieuténant Burnside; Company F, | First Lieutenant Mitchell; Company G. Second_Lieutenant Miles; Company C, First Lieutenant Biddle. It averages sixty men to the company, while the band numbers twenty-three men. e War Incidents. Brigadier General M. W. Muiler, Third Brigade, Natfonal Guard of California, seems to stand as good a chance as any other officer to be appointed brigadier general of volunteers from California. He is a candidate for the position on his merits as a soldier, but has no political pull in his behalf. He has had twenty- four years of service with the militia, and many officers of the regular army regard him as the most capable officer in the National Guard. He was appoint- ed brigadier general of the State troops by Governor Markham in 1591, and was reappointed by Governor Budd. 35 Bernays, manager of the San Francisco branch of the Pope Manufac- turing Company, makes this announce- ment: Any person now employed at the home or branch offices of the Pope Manufacturing Com- peny, Hartford Rubber Works Company, Pope Tube Company or Motor Carrlage Department, who shall enlist before May 20 into the volun- teer service of their country in the war be- tween the United States and Spain, will be in- sured to the amount of $1000, one vear, at the expense of the above company. Upon honorable Qischarge from Such service the opportunity to return to the employ of the above-named com- panies will be given to all persons who haye thus volunteered. i It was the intention of the Governor to send the Sixth Infantry intact, and he re- grets that there was any misunderstand- ing on the part of Company F of Fresno, who offered their services conditionally, the provisions of which he was unable to accept, and which he was powerless to carry out. He was therefore compelled to select a company from some other regi- “ment to fill the quota called for to make up the First Battalion. In justice to Company F, Governor Budd’ desires it to be stated that since the matter has been explained to the men they have made every effort to enter the service unconditionally, and deplore the tact of having unintentionally made the error which forced them to remain be- hind. Adjutant-General A. W. Barrett yester- day received a telegram from General A. W. Greely, chief signal officer of the United States army, stating that he re- gretted that no quota for signal corps had been called for from volunteers, hence he could not accept the proffered services of the signalmen of California, but in case a corps was made up, Cali- fornia’'s well-trained signalmen would be the first called. The citizens of Stockton will present a stand of colors to the First Battallon of Infantry as soon as the flags are fin- Ished. The presentation will be made at the Presidio, where the battalion is ex- pected to be encamped. ‘Arrangements are being made to spply the Police Department of San Francisco with Gatling guns and 400 Springfield rifles. As there are about 1700 Springfield rifles and 200 Krag Jorgenson rifles in the arsenal at Benicla, there will be no diffi- culty in securing all the arms required here. It is the intention of the Governor to re- organize the National Guard at once, and General Dickinson, under whose stper- vision the reorganization will be made, says the work will begin as soon as he learns the exact status of affairs. Great care will be taken to make the National Guard of the State much stronger than heretofore; recruits between the ages of 18 and 45 onlf' will be taken, and the men will be required to pass a rigid physical amination. 2 directors of the Western Sugar Re- fining Ccmpany at a meeting yesterday adopted a resolution that any employe of the cumpany enlisting for the war ADVERTISEMENTS.

His Letters Show a Strange Mingling of Business and Love Making. Cyrus Elwood Brown, president of the Gowanus Mining Company, who has been sued for $100,000 by Mrs. Alta Humphreys, was served by a deputy. United States Marshal yesterday. He was much wor- ried over the suit, which he denounced as blackmail. Emmons & Emmons, attorneys for the plaintiff, say that their client is a busi- ness woman whose reputation is untar- nished. She is accompanied by her son, a boy of 19, who takes a great deal of in- terest in the suit. A perusal of some of the sixty-two let- ters which Brown is said to have written the plaintiff shows that he was master of the art of mixing love and business. In several of his letters ha dwells for a page on his idea of love, marriage and women, after which he suddenly digresses with expressions purely commercial. One let- ter ends as follows: ‘“‘My little charmer, I believe in love and do not believe in marrying for money or position. The hu- man heart cries out for congenial com- panionship. Inclosed vou will find a prospectus of the mining company. You can interest your friends in it. I would not ask you to do it, except that I know you are a business woman.” He speaks of his life as a recluse, say- ing that he has deserted society since his wife's death sixteen years. ago. But the unfortunate fact for Mrs. Humphreys is the wife sD: of as d is alive and has been living with Brown all the time. She is now visiting in Brooklyn, where she has been for several weeks. ———— FLOWERS AND MUSIC. Eighth Annual Exhibition and Rose Show of the State Floral Society. The war excitement will not prevent the California State Floral Soclety from giv- ing its annual show, although there has been some talk of dispensing with it this year for that reason. The management, however, has concluded that home indus- tries should not be let drop on account of the international excitement. The show opens in Golden Gate Hall on Thursday at 1 p. m. and closes Saturday at 10 p. m. Although conditions have been somewhat against them this year the management expects that this show will be at least equal if not superior to any former one. There are already about forty exhibitors entered on the list, and some of the counties have yet to be heard from. The management has prepared a splendid premium list and 3400 in prizes will be distributed. An orchestra has been engaged tp furnish music through- out the show, and all arrangements have been made to comfortably accommodate the public. Following is the committee of_arrangements: John inkle, manager; Mrs. W. H. ‘Wiester, secretary; Mrs. B. E. Hendrick- gon, Mrs. J. R. Martin, Mrs. T. Walker, Mrs. C. D. Friedman and Mrs, M. Groth- well. b e Mrs. Heinrich Set Free. Mrs. Dorette Heinrich, who was arrest- ed last Saturday night on a charge of in- sanity preferred by her husband, B. Hein- rich, an engineer in the employ of the Electric Light Company, was discharged from custody yesterday by order of Judges Hunt and Troutt. The examining physicians of the Insanity Commission gave it as thelr opinion that Mrs. Hein- rich was sane. She claims that her hus- band tried to get rid of her, having be- come infatuated with another woman. ———————— . The Semi-Centennial, There will be a meeting of the presi- ts of the principal tlons of the State, representatives of the press and prominent citizens at the Chamber of Commerce rooms this afternoon for the purpose of advising the rommittee of fif- teen appointed by the Mayor to take charge of the celebration of the semi- centennial of the admission of California into the Union. The meeting has been called by the committee of fifteen, and it is hoped to obtain, by the interchange of views, a knowledge of what is desired by the people, so that the work of ar- rangement will find favor with aM. The meeting will open at 1 o’clock. —_———————— Outing of the Grocers. To-day the grocers will enjoy a brief respite from the monotonous rounds of workday life. Stores will be closed gen- erally, and the grocer, his clerk, errand boy and drummer will pack up a day's provisions and hie away to Schuetzen Park for a grand reunion. This is the first affair of this kind the grocers have con- ducted, and its prime object is a dur of pleasure. Many valuable prizes will be distributed during the day, both as gate prizes and for competitive events, which will include foot races, egg races, a ple eating contest, a guessing contest for the ladies, and many other events.

It has come to light that one of the reasons that Colonel Mosby has a hard time to get recognition at Washington is that he made himself active by hanging a number of the men under Secretary Alger, who was a captain of Michigan Cavalry duflng{ the war. According to a book called “Mosby’s Rangers/’ a num- ber of Union soldlers were engaged in burning houses at Castlemans Ferry on August 14, 1864. They were under Alger. Mosby was sent after them and he killed about twenty-five of the number, for which General Lee commended him. It is said that Alger has never been able ve the deed and that he has al- ways done all he couid to block Mosby in his’ ambitions. ST. TAMMANY’S DAY.

Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels, an estimable lady residing at Lynnville, Jasper County, Iowa, was for twenty-five years a sufferer from Dyspepsia, and her complete restoration to health is | so remarkable that we present the facts in the case for the benefit of our read- ers, many of whom have doubtless suf- fered in the same manner- and will, therefore, be interested in learning how all stomach troubles may be avoided and cured. Mrs. Skeels says: I used only one package of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and I received such great and | unexpected benefit that I wish to ex- press my sincere gratitude. _In fact, it has been six months since I took the medicine and I have not had one par- ticle of distress or difficulty since. And all this in the face of the fact that the best doctors I consulted told me my case was incurable, as I had suffered for twenty-five years. I want half a dozen packages to distribute among my friends here who are very anxious to try this remedy. Yours truly, MRS. SARAH A. SKEELS. The reason why Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are so successful in curing in- digestion and stomach trouble and the reason why it never disappoints those who need it and use it is because noth- ing is claimed for it except what it will actually perform. It is not a cure-all and no such claims are made for it. It is prepared for the sole purpose of curing Dyspepsia and the various forms of indigestion. There is scarcely a patent medicine made but what is claimed to cure dy- spepsia, as well as a hundred other troubles. When, as a matter of fact, a remedy to cure Dyspepsia must be pre- pared especially for that and nothing else; and among all the remedies, pat~ ent nostrums, bitters, etc., so exten- sively advertised you will find that Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets is the only one advertised as a cure for Dyspepsia and nothing else. The remedy is pre- | pared by the Stuart Company of Mar- | shall, Mich., and for sale by all drug- gists at 50 cents per package, and if you suffer from any form of stomach derangement or indigestion a trial will not disappoint you. A Tittle book on stomach troubles mailed free. Address Stuart Company, Marshall, Mich. i AMUSEMENTS. CALIFORNIA THEATER. CROWDED AGAIN LAST NIGHT.
