A., command- ing the Department of the Pa- cific, and leader of the Philip- pine expedition, established his head- quarters in the Phelan building yes- | terday, and with his staff officers ac- | tively began the detail work of organ- izing the forces for the campaign in the tropics. The rooms formerly occu- | pied by General E. S. Otis and staff were vacated yesterday, and these were taken by General Merritt and his offic Colonel Pope, the chief quartermas- | regiments. transports. The dispatches from Wash- ington came to leading steamship men. It was ascertained last night that General M. P.

The Government has the read but some work is re- to get the payrolls in shape. The volunteers, however, will get money before they leave for the Orient. General Merritt says that he does 10w at this time what troops will | itute the expedition. It is his irpose to take a large force with as | braska and Tenth Pennsylvania Infan- try regiments and the Utah Light Ar-| tillery. In the event of a battle on land near Manila the regular soldiers of the United | | States army, as well as the volunteers, | will receive their baptism of fire. The | regular troops of our army to-day, while up to the mark so far as discipline, equip- | ment and morale are concerned, have not, as organizations, endured the ordeal of battle.

The gen- eral, accompanied by his staff, drove out to the camp yesterday afternoon, and the officers made an informal tour of inspec- tion through the various regiments and battalions. General Otis issued to the regimental and battalion commanders some general orders regarding the polic- ing and usual routine business of the camp. General Otls was entertained at dinner by Major Robe and the officers of the Fourteenth Infantry. The entire encampment will undoubted- ly be brigaded to-day, as it Is expected General Merritt will issue the necessary orders. The Memorial day crowd captured the camp vesterday, and it would be a safe estimate to place the number of visitors at 50000.

THE SECOND CALL FOR TROOPS. Yesterday Governor Budd, eemmander in ehlef of the State military forces, recelved an tmportant dispatch frem H. C. Corbin, adjutant gen- eral of the United States army, Washington, D. C., relating to the troops to be supplied by California under the second call of the President. The offi- cial dispatch, which was at once placed In the hands of Adjutant General Barrett, clears away many doubts and uncertainties which had existed for several days. Following is the text of the telegram: ‘“Under the first call for one hundred and twenty-five thousand men it was contemplated that the number of original organizations called for should have the maximum strength stated helow, but on account of addi- tional organizations having to be accepted the maximum had to he reduced to eightv-one enlisted men per company of infantry. The maximum above contemplated is 106 enlisted men per company of Infantry. 100 per troop of cavalry, 173 per light battery and 200 per heavy battery—132 of all grades per regiment of Infantry, consisting of three battalions of four companies each. ““The Secretary of War bids me to say that it is now the wish of the President to supply In accordance with law so much of the second call for 75.000 men as may be necessary to flll the organizations already in service from your State to the maximum just stated. The Secretary of War bids me to say that recruiting officers will be detalled to make and superintend under army regulations enlistments for this purpose of the number of men wired you May 27. Please name one or more competent field officers of re- spective regiments already In service from your State to be detailed under orders of War Department for this duty.” In accordance with the foregoing suggestions Adjutant General Barrett, having no fleld officers of the First Infantry at this station. recommended Captain Carrington, U. 8. A., to enlist men for that organization. For the Seventh California Major W. O. Welsh was designated: for the Sixth Cali- fornia Infantry Major G. G. Grant, and for the batteries Lieutenant John A. Koster. . Thirty-two companies of infantry have been mustered into the United States service, and unuer the second call each company may take twenty- five more men. The men to flll the First Regiment to its maximum strength will probably be enlisted at once and sent with the next expedition to join the regiment at Manila. After the California infantry and artillery organizations now In the serv- ice of the United States have been recruited to the maximum less than 800 men will remain to be supplied under the second call. There is a good chance that the Fifth Infantry Regiment of the National Guard may get Into the service of the country under this second call. The Second Infan- try is also anxious to get in, and stands an equal chance with the Fifth for acceptance. Last evening General Barrett wired to the War Department to ascertain 1f enlistments to fill to the maximum existing organizations now in the serv- ice of the United States could not be made from National Guardsmen in the localities where the troops now In the fleld were raised. Adjutant General Corbin replied that there was no objection to such plan and that orders would be issued to carry it into effect. The adoption of this plan will enable the First Regiment to fill up to-the maximum from National Guardsmen in San Francisco. Members of the Guard in Southern California will be taken to augment the Seventh. The Sixth will draw its increase from home localities.

At the Alcazar. “The Master of Ceremonies,” written by George Foster Platt and H. J.

It is a pretty little| four-act drama in which the authors pre- | sent with considerable force the trials and tribulations of a gentleman of high soefal position during the reign of George | 111 of England. The story is well told, and while the authors do not lay claim to originality for every situation, there is little doubt that the play will take rank with such popular dramas as the “Cele- brated Case,’ which people have gone to see and -will g0 to see many times without tiring. The authors were no| doubt highly gratified at the reception of their efforts last evening by the patrons cazar. e R dag was In Keeping with the play, which was handled with care and excellent effect by the stock company.

Two countles and three municipalities were represented at the inter-club tennis tournament held on the Alameda Club courts yesterday afternoon. The Oakland club sent the strongest teams and the | California club of San Francisco the | weakest. With the Whitneys absent there | was never a doubt as to the outcome of | the tournament, which was generally | conceded to belong to the Hardy brothers, and they gave proof to the anticipatory tipping indulged by the tennis cracks. The Hardys had an easy victory, not one of the teams opposed to them giving even a hard fight. The tournament was probably the most successful the Alameda club has ever glven—from a social standpoint. Every bit of space around the court was occu- pied by gaily dressed young women and their gentlemanly escorts, who also added to the prevailing color of white by ap- pearing in duck and flannel especially creased for the occasion. Oakland had its contingent of noise-makers there, and ! they were the only ones who had the| opportunity of shouting for victors. A few stragglers from San Francisco drift- ed in during the day, but they kept in the background with (he sandwiches and | creams, The finals were between Pratt and Spencer and the Hardys, both teams from the Oakland club. Though Pratt and pencer played good ball in this mateh, hey were outclassed by their more skill- ful_opponents. The most hotly contested and the closest match of the day was be- tween Pratt and Spencer and Jones and Murdock, the former winning, 7-5, 6-3. The score was as follows: Preliminary round—Pratt _and Spencer beat ¢ Hunt and Code, 10-8, 6-3. Holmes and Bowen were defeated by Jones and Murdock, 4-6, 10-5, 7-5. Stone and Nicholson beat Hellman and Wheaton, 6-2, 6-3. Hardy and Hardy beat McGavin and Keilogg. Semi-finals—Pratt and Spencer beat Jones and_ Murdock, 7-5, 6-3.

OAKLAND, May 30.—Victor Holmes, a resident of San Francisco, was knocked off the yacht Thelma near the old narrow gauge slip In the estuary yesterday aft- ernoon and drowned. The Coroner was not notified, and every effort is being made to keep the fact a secret. One of those on board said to-day: ‘The peo- ple most interested have been told about it, and we don’t want it published in all the papers.” The Thelma was lying out in front of the California Yacht Club house, on the south side of the estuary, below the Web- ster street bridge to-day. It is said that the boat is owned in Sausalito, and only came over here Saturday to participate in the races. On the return trip the ac- cident happened, and although every one is_exceedingly reluctant to speak of the affair it was learned that Holmes and another man were knocked into the water by the boom suddenly swinging around. Peterson’s launch picked one of ‘he men up, but Holmes sank and vas lost sight of. ¥ OLD FRIENDS PICNIC. The Thirty-fourth Anniversary of the Society Held at Wild Wood Glen Park.
