TROOPS ARRIVE f FROM THE NORTH Battalion of Oregon Voi- unteers Camp at the Presidio. The first assembly call for drill was just sounding in the mp at the Pre- sidio yesterday morning as the First Bat- talion of the Second Regiment of Ore- gon volunteers came marching into the Government reservation. fong trip from Portland the four com- panies—A, B, C and D—presented a most striking and soldierly appearance. Lieu- tenant-Colonel George O. Yoran was in command of the battalion, which was marched to the western end of the cav- alry parade, where they went into camp just beyond the Fourteenth United States | Infantry. The men are fine looking sol- diers,and are a magnificent body of physi- cal manhood. Tali, strong and brawny, with a determined look upon their coun= tenances, they will no doubt give a good account of themselves when they arrive at Manila. Major C. U. Gantenbein reported a pleasant _trip, with no accidents or sick- | ness. The battalion left Portland on Monday night and came on a special train | over the Southern Pacific. “The other eight companies composing the regiment | will leave Portland on Monday under the | command of Colonel Summers. They will arrive here next Wednesday morn- ing, and the two battalions will go into camp beside their fellow soldiers, thus completing the regiment. The four companies are officered as | follows: Company A—Captain, Herbert L. MeMinnville; first lieutenant, Ralph Platt, Portland; second lieutenant, J. A. Young, Mc- Minoville. Company B—Captain, John L. May, Ashland; first lleutenant, Frank B. Hamlin, Roseburs; | pecond lieutenant, James E. Thornton, Ash- land. Company C—Captain, W. S. Moon, Bugene; firet lleutenant, Robert L. Huston, Eugene; second lieutenant, Fred W. Haines, 'Roseburg. | Company D—Captain, Austin F. Prescott, La | Grande; first lieutenant, George A. Hartman Jr., Pendleton; second lieutenant, Frank A. Meade, La Grande. Company A is composed of men from Portland and_ McMinnville, Company B | is made up of volunteers from Roseburg | and Ashland, Company C comes from BEugene and Company D hails from La Grande and Pendleton. The old Springfleld rifles with which the men have beéen equipped for drilling E(unwles will be exchanged for the new rag-Jorgensen guns. Assistant Surgeon H. W, Cardwell and a detail of six men of the hospital corps accompany the battalion. The regiment is under command of Col- onel O. Summers, who will arrive next Sveek. He served throughout the war of the rebelllon and has been prominently jdentifled with the Oregon National Guard ever since its organization. Colonel Sum- mers, who is a successful crockery mer- chant, was recently appointed appraiser of customs for the port of Portland. The physical examination of the Ore- gon volunteers has been very strict. That Bome of the rejected ones were accepted in the regular army at Fort Vancouver is {ndeed a compliment to the physical standing of the volunteers, This regiment has been named thfi Sec- ond Volunteers of Oregon in order not to confuse the records wita those of the First Regiment of Oregon Volunteers, which gerved In the war of the rebellion.

Health Officer | Dunn and Dr. O. D. Hamlin also volun- teered their services and will leave for Manila should any cavalry regiment be sent out. Health Officer Dunn has been surgeon- or of the Fifth Regiment for two years and has organized a complete hos- pital corps in this city. One of the most interested in this work was Dr. Hamlin, A few days ago Major Dunn decided that he could be of greater service to the army than as Health Officer of this city, and he expressed his intention of giving up his private practice and his official position, | each of which Is very lucrative, and of seeking active service in the army. His | offer was accepted and he was informed | that when, cavairy were ordered to Ma- is | spirit of the major's affected Dr. Ham- lin, who also has a good practice in this city. He made a formal offer of his ser- vices and it was accepted. There is only a partition between the offices of these doctors and Drs.
