It is in the air that the Tennessee volunteers will get a brave ovation this morning as they march from the de pot along Market street on the way to Camp Merritt. The familiar tune of ‘Dixie, dear to the Southerner's mind, will be played by the bands of Iowa and Tennessee. A number of severe cases of measles have developed among the Tennessee- ans, and they will be taken In hand by the Field Hospital immediately upon | the arrival this morning of the regi- | ment on this side. Somasge GENERAL MERRITT S0 The Milltary Governor of the Phil- ippines May Go to Manila With the Third Column.

The Valen- a steamer that was engaged yester- may be used as the flagship for | General Merritt and staff. There is some talk, however, of the commanding general going to Manila on the cruiser Philadelphia. Ge 1l Merritt does not know when | the d expedition will sau. is anxious to get the ships away by the th inst. and will appoint an earlier time for sailing if the vessels can be made ready. There will be a fourth | expedition or at least many ships bear- ing troops will sail after the third squadron departs. A plan may be formed to send out vessels singly after the third expedition sails. The way may be opened for troops to rendezvous at Honolulu and sail in squadron from that port to Manila. Colonel Smith of the First Tennessee, accompanied by several field and staff officers, came over from Oakland yes- terday evening and naid his respects to Major General Merritt. g iis THE NEXT DETAIL. Minnesota, California, Idaho and Wyoming Ex- pect Orders. From the trend of observations, and such advices as the officers of Camp Mer- | ritt discuss among themselves, there is | absolutely no doubt that the third ex- | pedition to Manila will leave this port be- | tween Monday and Saturday of next week. The exact day of departure has not | been aefinitely settied upon, but in all \prnhublllly the boats will leave next | | lowa, | Thursday or Friday, Major General Otis Will select the troops that are to go, and there is no question of | their approval by Major General Merritt, | who has left the matter entirely in the | hands of General Otis. So far, from all that can be learned, the Seventh California, Thirteenth Minnesota, Fifty- | first lowa Regiments, and the two Idaho battalions and the Wyoming Battalion will be the next body of troops sent to the Philippines. terday afternoon Major Foote, of the oming Battalion, received orders to furnish a detail to guard the Valencia. This vessel had been added to the fleet of transports, and from this it would ap- the Wyoming Battalion will srtainly go along on the next expedition, The three companies of the Fourteenth United States Infantry are now equipped, and it is very likely that Major Robe command may also go with the third ex pedition. There does not seem to be the slightest doubt that the expedition will be commanded by Brigadier General Charles King. He established his headquarters yesterday just opposite to those of Major General Otis. Brigadier General H. G. Otis, with his entire staff, also established headquar- ters terday next to those of General Marcus_P. Miller. The Eighteenth United Statgs Infantry has now completely recruited its ranks up to the maximum strength. Under an or- | der from the War Department its excess will be turned over to the Fourteenth United States Infantry. Colonel McC. Reeve, Thirteenth Minne- sota, expects 300 recruits on Monday from St. Paul and Minneapolis. These men were secured In one day for the regiment by the recruiting detail sent East. Lieutenant Kimball with eighteen re- cruits from Salt Lake City for the Utah Cavalry will arrive to-day. Colonel Berry, Seventh Californig, ex- pects his recruits from the southern part of the State the first of next week. Colonel] Berry was also ordered yesterday to send a detall of two commissioned officers and four sergeants to report to Captain Car- rington at the First Regiment Armory to assume command of the recruits for the First Callfornia. As soon as the required number of men have been secured they will be taken out to camp and cared for by Colonel Berry. who will take them with his command to Manila. The Twentieth Kansas Regiment will be paid to-day by Major Whipple. Colonel Funston, who has been on detached serv- ice, is expected to assume command of captain; | ment_to-day. th&:‘;g:mt R.

Late last night Major General Otis ordered Colonel Reeve, commanding the Thirteenth Regiment of Minnesota Volunteers, and Colonel Jones, com- manding the two battalions of Idaho Volunteers, loading their camp equipment on board ship and to rapidly prepare thelr commands to embark with the Third Philippine expedition. He further announced, though notby official order, that the Seventh Cali- fornia and the two battalions of Wyoming would be of the troops to leave. Over 300 recruits who will soon arrive to complete the quota of the Min- nesota regiment will be divided among the four or possibly the five boats significant orders given yesterday Colonel Frost of the First South Dakota and Colonel Loper of the Fifty- first Towa, it is a logical conclusion that these troops also will leave if their Major General Meivitt will in all probability accompany the expedition, though Brigadier Gersral King will be nominally its commander. Major General Merritt has decided that the next sailing shall be by the 25th inst., but Major General Otis Is of the opinion that he can accomplish , the troops of South Dakota and Iowa get away with this sailing, General Merritt will have upon his arrival in Manila Bay from 11,000 to 12,000 troops, a matter of a hundred or so more than half the num- i 00000000000000000000000000000000003 ORDERS GIVEN THE THIRD EXPEDITION. to begin this morning by General McArthur to VOOCOO0OO0COORN0O000000C00C 00000000 gineers, Willets Point, been ordered to report duty New York, has aptain Lang- with the detachment of en- Camp Merritt. bert Furgus, Company E, th Kansas, died at an early hour morning at the nch Hos- rivate Orville R.

Some work was done on the transports vesterday. On the Indiana accommoda- tions for about 750 passengers were put in at Philadelphia in anticipation of the ves- sel being put in the Klondike trade. Be- sides these she can accommodate about 500 more soldiers and at the same time carry about 2000 tons of coal, question has not been settled as to wheth- er she will carry more freight and fewer soldiers, so nothing will be done until that point is settied. The Indiana and the Ohio ate Willlam Defrain, Company L, | | | { but the | are both well adapted for transports, and | as the Connemaugh and Pennsylvania are the same type of v 1s they should make welcome additi; to the fleet. The ‘onnemaugh is now on her way to St. Michael and will be back on the Sound shortly, while the Pennsylvania will be due here in a few days. Both could be easily got ready to go out with the fourth e tion. It was thought that the Morgan City would be one of th leet to get ready, but it has been found erhaul her machinery and will not be in order an sooner than the other vessels.

They are both in the coal trade, but are fine roomy vessels, splendid carriers and each can Jog along week In and week out at the rate of ten knots an hour. were turned into passenger steamers when the rush to the Klondike was on last season, and both made very valuable additions to the Dyea and Skagu: fleet. comfc st The Willamette could easily be fitted out | in a week or ten days to accommodate 1200 men and their equipments, and at the me time she could m{(e 3000 tons of coul or provisions. The Progreso could be fit- ted out In the same time to accommodnte 800 or 1000 soldiers and a proportionate v of freight. They can be got vith less trouble than the ordinary ger boats,"as their ’tween decks from stem to stern are clear and the work of putting in bunks could be done very expeditiously. The loss of the two vessels would be a’ very severe one to the coal trade, but wouid not be felt nearly as much now as three months hence. With these two vessels and the Alameda, Con- nemaugh, Pennsylvania and the vessels that have been secured at Seattle, Uncle S‘um Hfioltx'!‘d have no ;‘Htficulty in transfer- ring al e troops that may be require in the Philippine: i ) d —_—— THE MARIETTA’S RECORD. A Remarkable Run of Twelve Thousand Miles. The following letter from the command- er of the U. 5. S. Marietta refers to a record equal to that achieved by the bat- tleship Oregon: UNITED STATES STEAMER MARIETTA, KEY WEST, Fla., June 6, 188, Henry Scott, Unlon Iron Works, San Fran- cisco, Cal.—My Dear Sir: The achievement of the Oregon on her recent long run was per- haps no more gratifying than that of this ves- sel, for I am of the impression that the record made by the Marfetta {n her run of 13,000 miles from San Jose Guatemala has never been equaled. by a man-of-war of her class. I mean as regards the continuous nature of the trip and her condition during it and at fits completion. In the first place our only stops were from twenty-four to forty-elght hours for coal. Not once had we to stop for even a slight repalr. When accompanying the Oregon the Maretta had no difficulty in _maintaining her full con- tract horse-power. Upon our arrival here, had occasion demanded it, we could have gone out at _once on al duty, after coaling. The gales we experienced off Sitka, Alaska, last December, demonstrated her = superior character as a 'sea boat, as dlso the superior quality of workmanship in her construction, as the extreme straining to which she was subjected did not cause her to leak a drop in any compartment. This late long trip with its results is equally complimentary of her motive wer. T thought that you would like to hear of her performance, which I consider as important and remarkable as that of the Oregon. We ex- pect to go on blockade duty In a_day or two. Yours respectfully, F. M. SYMONDS, Commander, U. S. N. ZELveriis FOURTH U. S. CAVALRY. Four Troops May Form the Third Expedition to the Philippines. TUnder General Orders No. 2, from the headquarters of the Department of the Pagific, recently published in The Call, the Fourth United States Cavalry Regi- ment was assigned to the regular brigade, in command of General Miller, of the Philippine expeditionary forces.’ Yester- day the following order was issued from the headquarters of General Merriam: Headquarters Department of Californfa. SAN FRANCISCO, June 15, 1898, 6. Under authority of the Secretary of War, Troops C, 1, K and L, Fourth United States Cavalry, are hereby relieved from duty in this flegnrlmenl. and will be reported by the senior officer to Major General Wesley Merritt, United States Army, now in San Francisco, Cal., for duty in the Department of the Pacific.’ By command of MAJOR GENERAL MERRIAM.

While no definite orders have been of cially conveyed to Major Kellogg in r gard to the time of sailing, it is regarded as highly probable that the four troops mentioned will be directed to join _the next expedition for the Phillppinies. X troops of the anila_expedition- In all there will be Fourth Cavalry in the 2 ary forces. Troop G, in command of Liet tenant Brown, will arrive here to-d from Walla Walla and proceed at once to Camp Merritt. to be followed by Troop E. under Captain McGraw, which reached the Presidio a few days ago from the north. Troops C, I, K and L expect to move to Camp Merritt in a_day or two. Troop B, in command of First Lieuten- ant N nd Troop M, under First Lieu- tenant Nolan, will remain at the Presidio not having been assignea to duty with the Philippine expeditionary force: At _the Presidio last evening the news of the assignment to Manila created great enthusiasm among the officers and enlisted men who had been selected for service at the front. oFlrst Lieutenant w Tnitec tes Artillery, adjutant of Camp Miller at the Presidio, has been appointen officer and ordnance officer of the artillery of the Independent Di of the Philippine expeditionary G. Haan, Third vision forces. —— - ARMY HEADQUARTERS. General Merriam Goes North. General Merritt Visits the Big Camp. Major General Merriam left last evening for Fort Vancouver, Wash., to attend to some business affairs of the Department of the Columbia, which, as well as the e first of the present | Department of California, is under his jurisdiction. The business of the two departments keeps General Merriam very busy. During his absence Lieutenant a has been on the drydock and | Bennett, acting assistant adjutant gen- eral of the Department of California, will be assisted by Major Rathbone, an ex- army officer, who still takes a deep in- terest in all ‘military affairs. Major General Merritt paid a_visit to Camp Merritt yesterday and held quite a long conference with Major-General Otis. Information has been received at army headquarters that there has been for- warded to this city from the East a large | consignment of s smarine cable and tele- graph wire to be on the next transport fleet to Manila, where it is to be used in connecting the principal islands and make a complete system of tele- graphic communication olving cannon, cali- 5, with carriages complete, and 2040 s 'of ammunition, and two 3.6 mor- tars complete, with such ammunition for the same as may be on_hand, have been ordered to be invoiced from the Presidio to Captain C. W. Whipple, chief ordnance hipped officer of the Philipplne expeditionary forces. One Gatling gun complete, caliber 4, from Angel Island will also be in- voiced to Captain Whipple. These guns are intended for use in the Philippines, and will go with the next transport fleet. —— VOLUNTEER ENGINEERS. One Company to Be Enlisted in California Under Captain Rickon. The Government recently authorized the enrollment of three regiments of United States Volunteer Engineers. One regiment, to be comamnded by Colonel Willard Young, will embrace a company from California. Word came from Wash- ington yesterday authorizing the enlist- ment of 100 men in this State. Fred J. H. Rickon, who has been prominently con- nected with the guartermaster’'s depart- ment for many years, has heen appointed captain of engineer volunteers, and as- signed to the command of a company in Colonel Young's regiment. Captain Rickon will recruit his regiment at once. Application for enrollment may be made_at room 222 Phelan building. Captain Rickon will want civil, mechani- cal, electrtcal, topographical and military engineers, machinists, plumbers, carpen- ters, steam engineers, blacksmiths, tele- graphers, draughtsmen, photographers, raflroad_men, riggers and boatmen, The pay of the engineers is slightly in advance of that allowed in other branches of the service. The engineer regiments will have opportunity for active service. Simiadbatic SOLDIERS’ SMALL CHANGE. Uncle Sam Breaks a Money- Making Recorad for the Boys. The United States Mint at San Fran- cisco is breaking all sorts of records as it is winding up another fiscal year, and one of its recent feats is a result of the war. Uncle Sam's paymasters, through whose hands milllons of dollars will reach the boys in blue, want a large amount of small chanve, The revival of business has caused such a constant demand for subsidiary silver for months that the United States Treasury has been kept pretty well drained of it, though the mints have been keeping a large stream of new pieces going out. When the paymasters came along with their huge demands it was necessary to make money right away on the big scale that attends the hustling for other sup- plies. 8o a little over two weeks ago Su- erintendent F. A. Leach here got orders rom the Director of the Mint to coin at once $375,000 worth of the smaller silver coins. The job was begun June 1 and was completed yesterday. The value is not so great, but nothing like it was ever done at the Mint with small silver before. The pieces struck numbered 1,150,000 and were halves, quarters and dimes. The needs of paymasters have also changed the gold coinage. Since June 1 the $1,653,500 of Zold coir-d has been mainly $ and $10 ple]ce! inscead’ of double eagles, as is the rule. The year just closing will be the great- est one In the history of the Mint. The cofnage to June 30 will be over $47,000,000 in gold besides several millions In silver, The greatest preceding record was that of 1877-78, when the coinage was over $53,000,000, of which $40,000,000 was in gold. This record is now exceeded with half th working force then employed and with uring J. B. BENNET, First Lieutenant Seventh In- | but eleven months of operatlon d | the year. This immense gold coinage is due to a general increase of supply from all sources, principally to the importa- tions of goid at this port, mainly of for- eign coin. Since August last_ $25,000,000, mostly in British soverelgns from Aus- tralia, have gone into Uncle Sam’s melt- ing pots here. It is interesting to note that during the last three months $1,000,- 000 worth of Japanese ven have likewise been received and melted. The coinage for May was $6,192,00 and if it were not for the annual settlement and clean-up this month the total coinage for June would be over $7,000. The coinage of all that small silver gave tem- porary jobs to about twenty deft-fingered young Iadies, but the rush has made no other additions to the force. THE‘ POWDER SUPPLY. The California Company Quad- ruples Its Plant for Uncle Sam. It is appropriate that there should be a big hoom and an enormous pressure in powder in war times. The pressure is about every pound the California Powder Works can stand. A few days ago two more great hydraulic presses for brown prismatic powder were got in operation at the plant of the company in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and by July 1 two more will be ready. The capacity of the works will then be four times what it was when the war began. Even at that officers of the company say that contracts now in hand will require months to fill. The company is now turning out 25,000 pounds a day, of which about 5000 pounds is smokeiess, but “hurry-up” orders from ‘Washington are coming right along. Over at Pinole, across the bay, the company has an acre of niter pots In constant operation and the scale of all its opera- tions is increasing dail, W ASHINGTON One Battalion Has Been Or- dered to the Presidio and the Other to Angel Island. The First Battalion of the First Regl- ment of Washington Volunteer Infantry, under Major Weisenberger, has been or- dered to the Presidlo, and the Second | Battalion, under Lieutenant-Colonel Fife | and Major Carr, will move to Angel| Island. This movement will leave Fon- | tana barracks vacant. The old ware- house has proved very comfortable quar- | ters and it is with regret that the men leave the place. It was thought that when they moved it would be to go on | board ship for the Philippines. e POE kad gl i’i‘ii‘”ii-iiiiii*i'i’ii.))iii’i'.’Vi.ii’)ii’?;!iii’i'i’ibOlilOOi)i”,;b.””’i’ii’C"ii’.ii#fi’fi?i’?’iiiii’iiiii”'ii,i!i‘bti)i‘?) INFANTRY. Soldiers on the Way. William H. Snedaker of the Denver and Rio Grande Rallway received adv yes- terday that 108 Towa recruits will leave Salt Lake City for San Francisco at 12:2) | this afternoon by a train on that line| which connects with the Central Pacific | at Ogden, arriving in this city at S8:15 p. m. on Saturday. A second train, which will leave Salt Lake at 12:2) p. m. on Sat- urday, has on board 75 more Iowa re- cruits for this city. It will connect at Og- den with the train arriving in this city at 8:45 p. m. Sunday. The Astor Battery left Pueblo, Colo., at 10 p. m. yesterday. s War Incidents. Court Bohemia of the Ancient Order of | Foresters is a patriotic one. Out of a| membership of sixty ten have joined thel regular army and six have entered the | volunteer service. Financial Secretary | Mahar was the last man accepted to fill the quota of the Minnesota Volunteers. | The first shot fired from the United | States_at the Buena Ventura was by | John Malia, a member of Washington | Council, Young Men's Institute, of Wash- ington, D.

Crelghton and others.’ All of the soldier boys who left on Wed- nesday were supplied with comfort bags, and, needless to say, they were gratefully received. Three of the lnrize furniture dealers of | the city have kindly loaned a large num- | ber of chairs for the headquarters of the | Christian Endeavor Soclety at the Camp. The socials which are given each even- ing at the headquarters of the Christian Endeavor Society continue to be a great success. The large rooms are crowdea with the boys in blue and hundreds are unable to gain admittance. The First South Dakotas will be paid off_to-day. The force of the Field Hospital now consists of 121 officers and men, the larg- est hospital corps ever organized in the United States army. First Lieutenant Cole, Company C, and Second Lieutenant Halpin, Company K, Seventh California, with four non-com- missioned ofiicers, were detailed yester- day to examine and drill the recruits now being signed by Captain Carrington. Of | 123 men who offered themselves yesterday | only 87 passed the usual examination. | The Third United States Artillery h:.\dl \ls first regular drill in extended line of | battle work yesterda at the Presidio, | and the men entered into it with the| greatest enthusiasm.

It was reported that the men of the Tenth Pennsylvania Regiment did not have any dinner the first night they were on board the Zealandia.
