The Crack Troops of the Keystone State Greeted and Feasted on Thelr Arrival. F the Tenth Penn- sylvania fall cap- tiveto the Spaniards as easily as it did to the Red Cross Soclety yesterday the enviable record they kave gained will be for naught But such a thing is not to be considered as possible, for their bravery has been ften for any sane person to think for an instant that they would yield to any body of men on earth. But with women they are as helpless as babe -, especially when the women happen to wear the magic insignia of the Red Cross. 2 The Tenth landed at the foot of Market street at 7 a. m. terday, and, all who had come before, they were at once marched into Red Cross headquarters and glven h they have not they home, and far as a break tasted ast left better than any they hoped to et while | a but- ind pies on the campaign. Hot bread , fresh fruits in abun nce cakes of every description were | serve and the men ate until they could arcely raise their voices in a cheer of acknowledgment. Then came the brief skirmish and the ignominious surrender of gallant old Colonel Hawkins. Flowers had been provided as abundantly as food and the ladies ced | them among the off The colonel iq % and he meant Who ever heard of a regiment of going to war decked out like a lot of picnicking school children? Such a thing was absurd and most unmili- tary. He was deeply touched by the lavish tr ment of himself and his command, but he would have to draw the line at flowers. Then Judge Hunt and J. B. Stetson pleaded on beHalf of the ladi All the others had been allowed to wear flowers out to camp, and really the ladies would feel hurt If his men were 1 + permitted to be similarly favored. Colonel Hawkins wavered an instant, then attempted to maintain his forme position, but it was too late. saw the slight opening and stormed him in a body. They backed him into a cor- ner and pelted him with roses until he was glad to capitulate. A great shout went up at the bloodless victory and soon every man in the regiment had a bunch of posies pinred onto his breast, another tucked in his belt, while a great calla lilly burst out from the muzzle of every rifle. As for Colonel Hawkins, when he mounted his horse half an hour later and started up Mar'et street at the head of the column he looked like an Easter bonnet. Those Pennsylvanians are a fne look- ing lot of fellows and comprise the flow- er of the western part of the Keystone State. In Company I, for instance, there are more than twenty lawyers and sev- eral bankers werving in the ranks, while Company G boasts of numbering the entire football team of the Washington and Jefferson University, as well as many more prominent college and ama- teur athlotes. The other companies are of equally good standing. Colonel Hawkins is every inch a sol- dier and has been In command of the Tenth for nineteen years, during which long term he has seen much hard ser- vice among strikers. The members were astonished at their reception by the Red Cross Society, and a group of men asked a Call reporter if the other troops had fared any where near as royally.. When told they had been all treated allke they were inclined to doubt it and thought former Penn- sylvanians must have made special ar- rangements for the Tenth. ‘When, however, they started out to camp and witnessed the enthusiastic demonstration in their honor by all classes of citizens they realized that San Francisco’s reputation for hospital- ity has not, been exaggerated. All along the line of march the streets were crowded with cheering thousands, who waved flags and shouted themselves hoarse at the men who had sped across the continent at thelr country’s call. Camp was not reached until after 11 nd men. call for, as those | put to the test too | rmission to distribute | The ladies | o’clock, but the baggage had all arrived E so there was no delay in pitching camp, which s located on the west of the * | Colorado regiment. The Pennsylvanians, upon reaching Third and Market streets, were greeted | with an artillery salute from the top of the Claus Spreckels building, and as round after round was fired the men from the Quaker State were inspired with unbounded enthusiasm. Even | their mascot, a large black and white | dog, med Dewey, looked up at the curling smoke that followed each dis- charge of The Call's cannon and re- sponded to each report with a canine ‘rah. The Pennsylvanians, who had much difficulty in pushing through the dense crowd, were greatly pleased at their enthusiastic reception. el 2 2 CALIFORNIA’S QUOTA OF ADDITIONAL TROOPS Governor Budd Ready to Respond | Promptly to the President’s Second Call. The news from Washington that the | President had called for 75,000 mflre; men and that California’s quota under | the call would be equal to two regi- ments created joy in the ranks of the | National Guard. The following tele- | gram was received by The Call at a | late hour last night: | WASHINGTON, D. C., May 25, 1898 ‘ War Department has not yet de-| acter of troops to be | State under to-day’s | The | cided upon the ct | | furnished by each call. Governor Budd had not been advised up to a late hour last night whether | infantry alone would be required or troops for other arms of the service be demanded. The Governor remarked: “California’s quota under the second I can be supplied within twenty-four hours. In infant regiments of the National Guard are desired they can be mustered into the United States ser- vice at once. If mounted men are wanted three troops of cavalry seeking admission to the service of the United | States may be mustered in without de- California can supply additional | patteries of heavy artillery or place in the field effective batteries of light ar- | tillery.” ast evening Governor Budd and Ad- | jutant General Barrett discussed sub- | jects pertaining "to the transfer of | troops under ‘the second call. While the details of the couference were not given to the public it was ascertained that there was an expression of views to the effect that the Fifth Infantry | Regiment of the National Guard should | front | have an opportunity to go to th as United States volunteers from Cali- | fornia. The opportunity may be af- | forded for companies of the Natlonal | Guard in the Sacramento Valley to get to the front. It is believed that another | battalion will be added to the Sixth | | Infantry, which will make that organi- | | zation a twelve-company regiment, — THE SIGNAL CORPS. Duty in Sight for the Signal- men of California.

The Eight Companies of the Occupy the Barracks. | The @eparture of the First Regiment of | | california Volunteers, the Second Oregon | | Volunteers and the companies of the | | Fourteenth Regular Infantry for Manila | | has left the Presidio almost deserted. The | | coldiers remaining there are four troops | of the Fourth Regular Cavalry Regiment | and eight companies of the Sixth Califor- nia, which are designated as the First| | and Second Battalions of California Vol- is expected that these two s will in the near future be con- batt fons solidated into an eight-company regiment, and General Merriam is quoted as saying | that they will be retained here for coast defense duty, together with the Third Battalion of the First Regiment of Wash- ington Volunteers and two batteries of ar- | tillery. The eight companies of the Sixth | California, numbering 650 men, are under | command of Lieutenant-Colonel W. R. Johnson. They have been camped tents for two weeks, but are expected to receive orders to occupy the barracks at the Presidio. They are in need of cloth- ing, especlally shoes, and hope to be soon completely equipped In this respect. The men have been overwhelmed with contri- butions of delicacles, which are not con- | ducive to their heaith, and Lieutenant- | Colonel Johnson, while ‘admiring the sen- | timent that prompts these gifts, says it is | about time to call a halt, as soldiers can- | not be physically hardened for military | duty on a diet of dessert. It is therefore | likely that he will see at once that his men consume more substantial food than | cake, pie and other delicacies. S SEVEN THOUSAND MEN. Strength of the Army Now Encamped in the Richmond District. The main thing of interest yesterday in Camp Richmond were the arrivals of the Seventh California and Tenth Pennsylva- | nia Regiments of Volunteers. Both of | these commands received a rousing wel- | come from their new comrades, who lined | the sides of their respective camps to| cheer the newcomers. Colonel Berry's | regiment reached Camp Richmond from | the Presidio about 10 o'clock and was fol- | lowed an hour later by the boys from the | Keystone State under the command of Colonel Hawkins. They were assigned by Lieutenant Neal, U. 8. A., to positions | on the extreme northwestern edge of the camp and made short work of pitch- | ing their tents. | The soldiers of the various regiments | are loud in thelr praise of the Red Cross | Soclety and the hospitality and kindness | of the people generally. Yesterday near- ly every one of the thousands of visitors brought some kind of donation. Many | brought edibles, such as sandwiches and pies, and others clothing and shoes. The men are well supplied with provisions | and the various commanders are in fones that ‘two weeks will see thelr men | fully equipped In every way by the quar- termaster's department. The general health of the troops is ex- Lcellem, and no serious cases have been so | pan Sixth California Expsct to f‘ Private Smith, E Com- h Regiment, stumbled over resterday and broke a bone The injury is not a ser- aptain Roblee says the able to get out in ten far reported. 7, Sevent rope y a g in hi; fous one, soldier w days or two_ weeks. The dally drills consumed the best part of the day's work for the soldiers, and the citizens of a month ago are rapidly becoming the well disciplined and drilied soldiers of to-day. The officers of the Seventh were the guests of the two light Idaho batteries vesterday. Mayor Phelan sent an entire ecf to the Seventh yesterday. Adfutant de Ford of the Twentleth Kansas denies the report that Governor Leedy of Kansas was burned in effigy by the 1 of his regiment because he did perly equip the regiment before arture. On the contrary, he de the men of the Twentieth idolize overnor, who did ev for them, The fact 5 has 1200 soldiers in the National Guard, :se were very poorly equipped with a scant supply of State property. There was no appropriation in the Stite treas- ury to provide for the troops, but de- spite this Governor Leedy did the best he could for the regiment, and even assisted it out of his own pocket. There are now_ 709 soldiers at Camp Richmond, Including enlisted men and commissioned officers. Their respective strength by command is as follows: Seventh California Regiment.....1026 Tenth Pennsylvania Regiment... 640 | First Battalion, Wyoming. . 338 | Batteries A and B, Utah., . 250 .1008 | First Nebraska Regiment. .1022 Twentieth Kansas Regiment......1016 Thirtieth Minnesota Regiment..1030 First Battalion, Idaho. 680 | Company G, 14th U.

This is an approximate estimate on the strength of the cavalry from Utah, the Elghteenth and Twenty-third Regi- ments, United States Infantry, and the Dakota Infantry, which should arrive by Sunday. This will be the nucleus of the about 2 years of age, has relatives living in San Bernardino County. = Vote against the new charter because the Board of Public Works, the Board of Health, the Board of Park Commissioners and other heads of various de- partments are authorized to employ subordinates without number at sala- ries without limit. e E KANSAS VOLUNTEERS. Loyal Ladies of California Pro- vide Shoes and Clothes for the Troops. Tne Kansas volunteers now camped on the old Bay District track have been shamefully treated by the Government. ‘When they left their homes they believed that they would be outfitted on reaching this city. Through the red-tape measures in vogue they found to their disappoint- ment and discomfort on reaching here that no provisions had been made for them. Many of the men are now without shirts and shoes, and no one seems to know when they will recelve them from Uncle Sam. Mrs. F. A. Robbins of this city, Mrs. R. Hickmott of Oakland, Miss Mabel Wat- kins, Miss Calla Hall, Miss Georgie Hick- mott and Miss Ella Garretson of Hay wards visited the Kansas camp yesterda: morning, and to their surpri that the men who gave up their homes and friends to fight for thelr being treated with less con deration than the average tramp. _After leaving the | camp grounds they decided to appoint thems a committee to relieve the most pr ng needs of They went direct to Koenig's shoestore at 122 Kearny street and told of the :dmcluasl learned | country were | the volunteers. | The local factories have thus far been shut out In the purchasing of these supplies. The reason assig: was that the samples sub- mitted were screwed. It is not supposed that shoe manufacturers keep army shoes in stock | | in large quantities for immediate delivery, as demanded by the officials here. The complaint in this matter is that since contracts have been the Eastern firms were allow time for manufacture of the goods, and local bidders were shut out from competing mr‘ these supplies. Considering that we have four large factories here, fully equipped with the most modern improved machinery and with plenty of workmen ready to carry out con- | tracts of any size that the Government may | require, and guaranteed to be done as quickly | and of as good quality as they can be pur- chased anywhere in the United States, con- | sidering the above facts, is it not a little un- | just, to say the least, that our coast manu- | facturers should be discriminated against be- cause they scem to be so far removed from | the car of the purchasing power of the Gov- | ernment? | It is the intention of this assoclation to solicit the co-operation of the Chamber | of Commerce, the Board of Trade and the | Merchants’ Association in this matter and control the Manila trade for this city and coast, and especially that of supplying the Government troops with everything neces- sary for their use.

The Regiment Leaves the Pre- sidio and Joins the Camp at Richmond. The Seventh California Regiment moved its camp yesterday from the Presidio over to Camp Richmond, where G will ablish his headquarters. Colonel Berry had a talk with General Otis on Monday In reference to joining the other forces that are now being concentrated at Camp Richmond, and General Otis in- formed him that he would be ordered to move if wagons to transfer his property could be secured, but at 7 o'clock yester- 1y morning Colonel Berry had received no order to move, and the first intimation that he had of it was when he read in The Call the announcement that orde: had been issued for him to mov He im- mediately gave the necessary orders to his company commanders for the striking of the camp, and at o'clock, at the sound of the bugle, every tent fell to- gether. The work of packing the camp cquipments and bagsage was accom- plished in short order, and at a few min- utes past 8 o'clock the Seventh fell into line and began its march to the fiew camp. The soldiers of the Sixth cheered their departing comrades loudly, while from the Fourteenth In was blown by the chief bugler. Camp Richmond was reached after a | ! men in camp. Six dozen pairs of shoes of that will form | | keep the supplyi itry a farewell | F ted sizes were at once given them to distribute among the men. This a kindness on the part of the Koenig s store will be long remembered, not aione by the men directly benefited, but also by the ladies, who were so graciously treat- ed by the firm. The ladies then drew upon their private purses and purchased a lot of woolen shirts and socks for the men. School Director Phil Hammond sent a load of provisions Camp Richmond vesterday for the Kansas volunteers rector Hammond will not forget the Kan- sas troops, as he was born in that State. It is his intention to send them some- thing to prove that, while he is now Californian, he has not forgotten his birthplace. Th, volunteers received their first pay yesterday since they have been in the service. They went into camp on April 27 and were sworn in by the United States nt on the 4th inst. The officers and volunteers received eight days’ pay from the State. - DEWEY’S SUPPLIES. A DelermineEEffort Made to Keep the Manila Trade Here. The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ As- | socjation and the Chamber of Commerce are” doing ev hing in their power to vz of the army and navy whose destination is Manila {3 San 0, where by right it belongs. With this object in view the following | dispatches were exchanged between the march of an hour and a half, and Lieu- | tenant Neal assigned the Seventh to the extreme northwestern end of the camp. Colonel Berry's new home is bounded by | A and B streets and by Fourth and Fifth avenues. It is on a direct line with the camp square, upon which General Otis will establish his headquarters. In an hour after their arrival the men had up thelr tents and were working like beavers to get everything in shape. The new camp in some respects is ahead of the Presidio, but it also lacks some of the conveniences that the soldlers had become accustomed to at their first camp. Colonel Berry said that it would take a day at least to get his command settled down into their new quarters and in working shape. Owing to the limited space of the camp guard mounting will have to be done in the streets, while for drill ground the soldiers will have to take a long march before they can secure room enough to man- euver, poe A DU Death of Another Volunteer. Henry Pruyett, a private in Company E of the Seventh Regiment, from Southern California, died yester@sy in the hospital at the Presidio. He contracted a cold af- ter arriving here, and despite the atten- tion of the physicians it developed into a case of pneumonia.

E= S i WASHINGTON SOLDIERS. Company D Receives a Silk Flag From Admirers in Seattle. The volunteers from Washington, who are encamped In Fontana's warehouse, at the foot of Van Ness avenue, are now beginning to disbelieve in the old adage that “patience is a virtue.” Not a few of them have exhausted their stock of | patlence, and are beginning to_grumble. | They have cause for complaint. When they left their homes to come here they | were told that they would be fully | equipped upon their arrival. That promise | | has not been kept. Not a few of them | are now without shoes, and in conse- | quence they are unable to dfill. They do | not mind Sleeping on_ the soft side of a | floor, but they do object to traveling around in their stocking feet. The officers in command believe, however, that the wants of the men will be supplied to-day. Captain_Frank E.

He will formally present the flag to the com- pany to-day About thirty of the members of Com- | pany G of the Washington Regiment are | fll. Their sickness is believed to be due to something they ate. CHANGE HEADQUARTERS. Major-General Otis and Staff Are Preparing to Move Out to Camp Richmond. General Otis, who since his arrival 1n] San Francisco, has had his office in the | Phelan building, will probably. establish | mond. The tents of himself and staff will be located at the southwest corner of the camp, close to the McAllister street railway and within a short distance of the park. As soon as it can be arranged the headquarters of General Otis will have not only telephone communication, but also telegraphic connection. General anxious from the ver; first to have his headquarters in the flel and now that he has got the first expedi- will be able to make the move without much further delay. RSP Regulars Wanted. Major Robe of the Fourteenth Infantry moved Company G of that regiment from the Presidio to Camp Richmond yester- day. A recruiting station with Lieutenant Hunt, U. 8.
