Money Disbursed to the Troops at Camp Merritt. The second expedition to Manila will sall from San Francisco to the Philipines next Colorado and Tenth Pennsylvania regi- | ments, the Utah Light Battery and one battalion from the Twenty-third and Eighteenth Infantry. The troops will go on the Zealandia, Colon and China. Regarding the date when the expedition would sail, it has been repeatedly stated by The Call that the soldiers could not possibly get away to-day, despite the or- der to that effect. All of the various com- manders going on the next expedition stated yesterday that their respective commands would be ready to-day, but | such is not the case. From a prominent officer who is very close at headquarters I learned that the next expedition would sail from this port | on next Monday.

Four Batteries of the Third and Two of Volunteers on the Presidio Plain. The big drill plain at the Presidio is fill- ing up with tents again. Yesterday Bat- teries G, H, K and L of the Third Artil- lery, and Batteries A and D of the Cali- fornia Battallon, went into camp where the First California Infantry was quartered prior to s departure for Manila.

That portion of Captain Geary's bat- | tery remaining here will continue to oc- cu]ay its quarters at the post for the pres- n S S e CAMP COURT-MARTIAL. A Pennsylvania Fifer Cut the Pantaloons of a Negro. General Otis has appointed the following court-martial to convene to-day and sit without regard to hours for the purpose of trylng all such cases as may be brought before it: First Nebraska, Lieu- tenant-Colonel George R.

Both officers have gone into camp with their commands, fhe head- quarters being located about on the site where Colonel Berry of the Seventh pitched his tent. Ample room has been allowed for the tents, the streets bein, broad enough for the free marching ol the batteries to and from their quarters. In fact, it is an ideal camp, and if the regimental band, which is now stationed away out in the fortifications at Fort Point, were attached to the battalion it would proye most attractive to visitors.

One of the most Interesting cases that will come up before the general court- martial to-day will be that of John Camp- bell, a fifer in the Tenth Pennsylvania Regiment, who has been under arrest ever since the regiment left Mt. Gretna, Pa., for cutting the breeches off a negro strik- er, who belonged to Company C of the Pennsylvania Artillery, which was then camped at Mt. Gretna. Campbell enlisted in the Tenth as a fifer, and truly he is said to have blown a wonderful reed, but alas, there were times, not infrequent, when he was wont to blow the foam from too many beers. It 80 ha.p%ened that the captain of Battery C sent the colored striker to Altoona to purchase some whisky for the officers’ mess, and the negro was so unfortunate as to go into the same barroom where Campbell, who was already drunk, was Jjust tossing off another. The fifer, as soon as he saw the negro in uniform, became enraged, and draw- ing a razor he proceeded to hold up the 000QC000000000000000000000C00000000000000000000000000 GENERAL MERRITT ON THE SHORTAGE OF TRANSPORTS The Chief of the Manila Expedition Makes a Plain Statement With- out Criticism of the War Department. The sailing date of the second expedition to the Philippines has not yet been decided upon. It is safe to say that the three transports now engaged and in preparation for the voyage to Manila will not be able to sail until some time next week. The troops for this expedition will all be fully equipped before that time. with the forwarding of re-enforcements to Dewey is owing to a lack of proper “There is no truth in the statement that I have refused to take any troops that have been sent here or have been offered to me. I am exceedingly well pleased with the material. It is just about as good as there is in this country. Of course there is room for improvement in discipline and drill, which will come in time. It must be remembered that these troops are new. I have the word of officers who have seen other troops in the country, and they say that the forces now here average up as well as those of any command that has been organ- ized since the breaking out of the war with Spain. “So far as the equipment of the troops is concerned, that is a matter that is easily ar- ranged. All the troops destined for Manila will be fully equipped as fast as the resources of the War Department will permit. These troops will be completely outfitted long before the transports are ready, so that there will be no trouble or delay in that respect. “My only complaint now is the delay in the furnishing of transports. sented to the War Department that the transports are coming in very slowly. After I make the shipment of troops contemplated by the three vessels—the China, Colon and Zealan- dia—1I will have forwarded to the Philippines but one-fourth of the command. The want of transports is the crying want of the expedition. Manila. The three vessels which I have just mentioned will carry only about 2500. There are now on the way across the Pacific 2500 troops, so you can easily see the situation. I do not wish to be understood as making any complaint or any criticism of the War Department. I am merely making a statement of facts in reply to your inquiries. I think the War Depart- » ment is doing everything in its power to facilitate the rapid movement of troops to the Phil- | 9 ippines. The shortage of transports is no fault of the War Department.” Twenty thousand men are to be sent to | from Eastern Washington, are well The trouble transportation facilities, which 1 have repre- 000000000000V 0000IVONOCCO00000000000NCCOO00CO00000000000 | 000000000000000000000000000CO0000NONO000C00000000002300° frightened striker, and to carefully re- move the trouser legs from the knee down. Then he made the unfortunate darkey buy the whisky, which he, Camp- bell, drank, and then—well then he was arrested, and has been in the guard house ever since, but not in irons as was re- ported. e FONTANA BARRACKS. Washington Volunteers Sail Under Sealed Orders to Angel Island. Company F of the Second Battalion of the Washington volunteers, at Fontana Barracks, received orders yesterday morning to embark on the steamer Mc= Dowell. No one knew the destination, as the instructions were sealed and not ta be opened until after the steamer had left the dock. It was a mystery to everybody, but no one asked any ques- tions, not even the officers. Many thought that this was to be a starter of the Wash- ington men toward Manila and they eagerly hoped the Philippines was their destination. The steamer, however, land- ed them at Angel Island for temporary guard duty. This company of eighty-one men is officered by Captain Chester F. Miller, First Lieutenant Charles F. Book- er and Second Lieutenant George B.Dorr. During the time they were at Fontana Barracks there was not a sick or drunk- en man in the company. These men come u in drill and discipline, and are a credit (g the volunteer service. Lieutenant Colonel Fife is still protest- ing against the repeated statements that the Washington volunteers are not likeiy to go to Manila. He says his command, of which he is very proud, is the equal in every respect of any regiment now here, and It is but an act of justice that_ the Washingtonians should be permitted to be among the representatives of the Pa- cific Coast in the Manila expeditionary forces, . The rumor that the Washington men are soon to go into camp at the Presidio is not credited at . Fontana Barracks, where_they have been located since they have been in San Francisco. piides S NO LONGER CORPORAL. C. P Ames Receives a Wel- come Communication. Corporal C. P. Ames, of Company D, First Nebraska Regiment of Volunteers, will be discharged from his regiment in a few days. Yesterday Colonel Bratt, com- manding the regiment, was officially or- dered by Secretary of War Alger to dis- charge Ames. The young soldier does not leave the service in disgrace, for along with the order to Colonel Bratt, there also came one to Corporal Ames himself, notifying him that as the result of having passed successfully the preliminary ex- amination he is to report on the ist of March, 1899, to the commandant of the corps of cadets at West Point Military Academy. Some time ago Corporal Ames, who has been for two years in the National Guard, took the competitive examination at Lin- coln, Neb., and being successful, was ap- ointed to the academ) by Congressman trode of Nebraska. .Corporal Ames is 19 years of age. He was born in Illinois, but raised in Nebraska. He is a gradu- ate of the University of Nebraska, where he took a course in electrical engineer- ing. The corporal expects to go to the train- ing _school of Lieutemant Charles Boden, at Highland Falls, New York, where he will prepare himself for the academy. e TO AMUSE THE BOYS. Entertainments Provided by the Mothers’ Christian Endéavor Circle. The “Mothers’ Christian Endeavor Cir- ¢le” has been organized under the leader- ship of Miss Mindora L. Berry, State su- perintendent of missions of the Christian Endeavor Societies of California, and sne has for co-workers most of the ladies of the churches of this city. It is the intention not only to provide for the soldiers in the way of comfort bags and the like for use in the future, but the actual necessity of entertaining the troops and thus making thelr stay in the city as enjoyable as possible has re- sulted in the method of providing an en- tertainment every evening, except Sun- day, right among the boys. A hall on Fl}lh avenue has been engaged for the purpose, and the various evangelical churches have each been assigned an evening to furnish the programme and the necessary refreshments. Plymouth Congregational Church was the first to provide for the entertainment. About 200 Roldiers were present last evening and gpent a couple of hours listening to an excellent programme, consisting of vocal and instrumental music, recitations and an _address by the Rev. B. Cherington, . At the conclusion of the exercises hot coffee, sandwiches and cake werc brnggk;’ti out and all enjoyed a feast of 00d things. g'l‘hese entertainments will be repeated every evening. Recruiting for the Regular Army. The varlous recruiting offices for the regular army are recelving a very large number of applicants, and nearly all of them are of a very good class of men. Among those who have applied since Sat- urday to Lieutenant Quan, Third Artil- lery, room 229 Phelan building, are two Sacramento high school boys, one Cornell graduate, one man who passed eighteen months in West Point Military Academy and two lawyers. Lieutenant Hunt, of the Fourteenth In- fantry, opened a recruiting office yester- day morning in the Examiner building, Third street side, and received about thir- ty-five applicants during the day, nearly all of whom will pass. Lieutenant Hunt has hung his banner on the outer wall, and it is attracting & great deal of at- tention. It reads: ““Wanted—Men for the Fourteenth Infantry, to go and help Dewey."” Two trainloads of recruits for the regu- lar army are expected here within the next few days from Fort McPherson, Georgla. ST RS GOING TO ALCATRAZ Company A, Sixth California Infantry, Will Take Its Station To-Day. The companies of the Sixth California Infantry will begin to move to their sta- tions to-day, when Company A will go over to Alcatraz. The company will break camp this morning and march to the Presidio whart and embark on the Gov- ernment steamer McPherson for “the rock.” Company F will not go to Santa Cruz until to-morrow or Thursday, as It 1s not vet fully equipped. Captain J. F. Lucey, of Company F, went to Sacramento last night and will return to-night. He will endeavor to secure about twenty-five re- cruits while there, in order to bring his company up to the maximum of 106 men under the latest decision of the War De- partment. As Company F ceme from Sac- ramento originally, Captain Lucey would prefer to have all his men from that place to recruiting up with strangers. Sergeant J. Alexander and Private Word of Company F will not accompany it to Santa Cruz. Sergeant Alexander has been detailed as sergeant major of the regiment, and Word {s acting as quarter- master sergeant. Consequently both will remain at headquarters, o A Lucky Newspaper Man. Among those who will leave for the Philippine Islands on the transport China, when she salls, is Wallace W. Wideman, a well-known local newspaper man, and for the past year associate editor of the Daily Journal of Commerce of this city. Wideman will leave with Captain Hooper, of the United States revenue cutter ser- vice, and will join the cutter McCulloch at Cavite, On that vessel he will take two years' scholarship, before passing the examinations for a lieutenancy. Mr. Wideman was born in this city on December 9, 1879, and is the youngest son of Dr. and Mrs. James Wideman, of 000000000000000000 GENERAL GREENE'S BRIGADE. Brigadier-General F. V. Greene reported to General Otis at Camp Merritt late yesterday afternoon. He established his headquarters ' next to those of General E. 8. Otis, but did not remain in camp last night. Gen- eral Greene was closeted with General Otis until a late hour last night. After the confer- ence between these two officers was ended it was learned that General Greene will command a brigade that will be composed from two of the brigades now in camp at Camp Merritt. That is, instead of having charge of one of the four brigades in its entirety General Greene's brigade will be made up of troops from two of the brigades now in Camp Merritt that are as yet not com- manded by a brigadier-general.

Spear Jr., have subscribed to a fund of $125 per month to be ex- pended in contributing to the comfort of the soldiers now encamped in this city. This fund will be placed for disburse- ment In the hands of Mrs. Spear, wife of the Surveyor, and she will use it to the best advantage. Saturday evening the active and alumni members of the Californla Gamma Chap- ter of the Phi Delta Kappa Fraternity gave a reception. which was largely at- tended, to Lieutenant John Donaldson of the Thirteenth Regiment, Minnesota Vol- unteers, now encamped at Bay District track. Lieutenant Donaldson was a mem- ber of the fraternity at the Michigan Military School. Thirty-three students of the University of California have enlisted since the close of the college year, either as regulars or as volunteers. All of them have had mfli- tary training as members of the Univer- sity Cadet Corps. Some of them who have | drilled for three or four years ent>red the army as commissioned and others as non-commissioned officers. - “0ld Friends meet to-morrow night at 14 Third for installation of officers.
