General Otis will within a day or two establish his quarters at Camp Richmond. He had intended to do this at the very first, but he has been kept so busy at United States army headquarters that he has not been able to change his location. The members of his staff are constantly employed in the Inspection of the troops at Camp Richmond. Considerable time is required to do this work, as well as to see that they are properly equipped. Lieutenant-Colonel Cox, chief paymas- ter of the Department of California, has received instructions to pay off the volun- teer troops. Congress has passed an act appropriating money for this purpose, and telegraphic Instructions are expected at any moment to pay the troops. ‘Adjutant-General Barrett and his force are kept busy with routine work at the State militia_headquarters in the Califor- nia Hotel. The proposed reorganization of the California National Guard is under consideration, but as yvet nothing definite has been determined upon. e THE VOLUNTEER SOLDIER.

All the members of the society are asked to be present and bring their sewing appliances with them. Special attention wiil be given to making abdominal bandages and | gowns for use in hospitals. A musical reception will be given by Mrs. Elenore Martin at her residence, 2030 Broadway, on Saturday for the benefit of the Red, Cross. The Native Daughters’ Red Cross So- clety is doing excellent work in the matter of entertaining troops on their arrival here. Yesterday a committee of native daughters, whose names could not be as- certained, delivered at the ferry head- quarters 6000 sandwiches, four boxes of oranges, a vast quantity of veal and pork | and dozens of cakes and ples. The con- | tribution was a timely one, and was thankfully received. A telegram was received to-day at the headquarters in the Claus Spreckels building announcing that the Oregon mothers and daughters desired to aid-the soclety in its work here. As an earnest of their intentions the telegram stated that a sufficient number of caps and ban- dages for the Oregon volunteers was now | in transit to this city. The supplies will be distributed as directed on their arrival here. A communication was received from a delegation of the California volunteers ex- pressing their deepest thanks to the ladles of the First Presbyterian Church for the excellent luncheon prepared by them for the boys yesterday prior to their em- barkment. The children of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Asylum of Oakland sent a great many bouquets of flowers to the ferry headquarters, with the request that they be distributed among the troops on their arrival. Each bouquet bore the name of the donor, a _touching tribute to the gallent defenders of the nation’s flag. flag. The Colorado band went to the ferry to-day and serenaded the ladies of the | Red Cross. It is proposed to furnish the ladies with music every day until the ar- rival and departure of the troops becomes a matter of history. A musical benefit will be tendered the society at the residence of Mrs. Frederick Belcher, 1143 Myrtle street, Oakland, next Thursday afternoon. The admission will be 50 cents, and a large attendance is in- sured. Greenbaum, Weil & Michels, manufac- tures of gentlemen’s clothing, and thelir Pm?lo)‘cs made a generous offer to the Red Cross Society yesterday. The em- ployes offered to give one day's wask to the good cause and the proprietors decid- ed to turn over the factory for the day to the society. There are over 200 sewing machines that are operated by power in the building, and in the letter from the firm and iis employes it was suggested that the material for the bandages and for the other articles that it was proposed to send to the soldiers be taken there and the goods would be manufactured. ‘Annoyance has been caused by bogus solicitors posing as representatives of the Red Cross. Every person authorized to represent the society is provided with cre- dentials so specific that there can be no mistake. In case the slightest reason for doubt arise the headquarters of the society in the Spreckels building are eas- ily reached, and there donations may be made direct. Loyal Rebekah Lodge of the Independ- ent Order of Odd Fellows at its meeting Jast Monday night decided to distribute Junches to the soldiers at Camp Rich- mond. The lodge appointed an active committee and in a_short time it col- lected the sum of $75 from the member~ <hip for the purposc named. The mem- bers will be at the hali of the lodge in the Odd Fellows' building and will re- Sefve from 10 o'clock in the morning until 5 o'clock in the afternoon this week, do- hations of money and provisions to help them carry out the idea of furnishing such lunches. The Pacific Heights School supplied the luncheons which were served yesterday to e fiers who are about” to go. to Manila. ‘Twelve hundred appetizing, Nenrty lunches were provided by the iris and boys, who enjoyed the prepara- flons and packing as much as though they themselves were to open the well- Robert J.

Patriotic ladles have been much exers cised by the reports of the sufferings of encamped regiments. The California Club members_visited the Kansas boys vesterday, and as a result have decided to provide them with fr meat and 1000 bandages, even if they have to hold a sewing-bee to make the latter. Mrs. Addie Ballou_and Miss White called on_ the Sixth Regiment and were impressed by the poor quality of bread found in the rations. They secured some big consign- ments of fresh meat and are now crusad- ing to supply the men with other com- forts.
