Colonel Reeve of the Thirteenth Minne- sota will leave in charge of his ré- cruits and the 150 sent from Oregon, Ma- jor Diggles, with six lieutenants, eight sergeants and twelve corporals. Captain Milliken, son of Congressman Milliken of Maine, has been appointed chief commissary of subsistence on_the staff of Brigadier General Harrison Gray Otis. Captain Milllken graduated from West Point in 1897 and soon_after re- signed to go into business. When the war with Spain was declared he offered bhis services, which were accepted. Brigadier General H. G. Otis will be the chief guest at a dinner to be giyen at the Bohemian Club_to-morrow evening. It is expected that Governor Richards of Wy- oming, Governor Budd of California, May- or Phelan of this city, and James A.

Every man will be fully uniformed by the State and all that will have to be supplied by rtermaster will be a few leggings, canteens and haversacks. About 450 rifles will have to be drawn from the Benicia arsenal. The care will be token in selecting the men and the Eightn . fair to be the banner regiment of the California volunteers. Nothing whatever has been dond toward selecting the field and staft of- or aside from Colonel Henshaw and Lieutenant Colonel Carringtoa. - two gentlemen have anaounced to the Governor that they would ac- cept the appointments and therc the matter will rest until the commani is rendezvoused. It is admitted, though, that Coionel A. K. Whitton of San Jose is under favorable consmderation Ly the Governor for major f wne of the battalions and he will undoubtedly be appointed. Colonel J. F. Bur- gin of the Governor's staff frankly admits that he would consider the ten- der of a majorship a great honor, and while he has not spoken to Gov- ernor Budd upon the subject, he is not ljkely to be overlooked. Captain George B, Baldwin, a warm personal friend of Colonel Henshaw, Colonel Carrington and almost everybody else, for he is one of the most popular men in the State, seems to have the adjutantcy well within his grasp, while Captain J. A. Margo, who was appointed commissary on the staff of Colonel J. F. Smith, but was not accepted by the War Department pecause the regular regiments do not have specially appointed commis- caries, 1s a prominent candidate for quartermaster. As the Governor gave him one appointment which was abolished he may be given a place in the new regiment. There are hundreds of applicants for appointment as chief and assist- ant surgeons, many of the best-known physigians in the State having been scized with a longing to serve their country, but they, too, must wait, for the regiment will not be rendezvoused before the end of the week. - 1 10 106 106 106 06 106 308 9% 30K 08 10 10£ 10 08 10 04306 308 30K 30K 08 30% 30K 3O 08 30K 10K 30 06 0K X K 8% SEGOSHODO OO VOVHTTLOCOCIHCSGDRVVVGVCEOHNVOVHVVOTOVVOVVOVVLOVVIBHODOVVCON0 CO000000C000000000CC00C000 RNE0NO00000000000 2 o o ped o b e b 2 bed =3 b Xt b= =3 o o o =g e o b o o o & fed b = Thompson, president of the club, will at- tend the function. ————— SHIPS FOR THE TROOPS. Stores and Munitions Go Aboard the Transporis—Valencia to the Drydock. There were busy times at the trans- ports yesterday. Among the articles going to Manila on the Ohio, Indiana, Morgan City and City of Para are large consignments of plain wire, barbed wire, cement and sacks. The consignments of the latter will con- tain a sack for every man who has left or will leave San Francisco fgr Manila, and before the fighting begins each man will be supplied with his sack. This will go into his haversack with his other be- longings and will form part of his outfit. Supposing, then, a lot of the soldiers are out skirmishing in Manfla and the Spaniards begin to descend on them. Each man outs with his sack, fills it with sand and, lying down behind it, pops away at the advancing foe. As soon as the fighting is over the bag is emptied and restored to its place in the haver- sack, ready for use when the next skir- mish occurs. The plain wire is to be used in building a telegraph system over the isiand of Lu- zon and_the barbed wire is for use at is to Be used for the construction of en- trenchments. All in all it look though Uncle Sam intends to hold what he has won and in holding it expects a good deal of guerrilla warfare. The coaling of the fleet has been com- pleted all that now remains is_the provisioning and getting the soldiers aboard. The City of Para and Morgan City are nearest completion_and the Ohio and Indiana will be in readiness on Sat- urday. On the last named steamers the venti ¢ imperfect in the lower deck and the troops who are quartered there will suffer from the heat in the encia has to go on the dry dock for rhauling “and _the chances are t she will not go away with the next fleet to sail. It will take two days to unload the City Puebla, rrived from Puget vesterday. As soon as the cargo as been remo she will be turned over to the United States Government ' au- thorities. She and the Valencia will then form the nucieus for the next fleet that is to get away for Manila. MANY MEN ILL. tropics. The Trouble Caused by Impure Water in the Sixth Infantry. There is an alarming amount of sick- rs of the battal- v, stationed at is attributed to the which water. Yesterday thirty members of one company were on the sick list, and an- other company did not have a corporal Fort Point, who was able to g0 on guard. The water used at the camp comes from Mountain Lake and it will probably be necessary to sterilize the water before it can be used, The men are attacked with serious bowel complaint, and as there is no surgeon attached to the battalion the sufferers must shift for themselve The matter was reported to Governor Budd yesterday, and he will make a strong effort to have another surgeon ap- pointed for duty with the battalion. The Sixth was only allowed two surgeons, one being sent to Benicia aund the other to Santa Cruz. The battalion is also suffering from lack of overcoats, which the quartermaster’s depot cannot supply, and in consequence Adjutant General Barrett has ordered some State overcoats sent out to the men, who are obliged to march on guard around the fortifications, exposed to the severe winds. 2 . The battalion began drilling with the big guns and dynamite throwers yester- day, which would indicate that it is the intention to keep it at Fort Point. — COLORED VOLUNTEERS. Governor Budd Promises to Assist Them in Joining the Army. 4 Major L. M. Penny,commanding the pro- posed Twenty-eighth Regiment of colored volunteers of the State of California, has recruited 800 men for that organization. A numerously signed petition of well- known citizens has been presented to Gov- ernor Budd asking that when the quota of the regiments In the fleld is filled to the maximum that of the new companies to be formed at least 100, or a battalion of the colored men in Major Penny's regi- _embark to-morrow on the transport Ohio Penny has worked very hard and been assisted by Captain Keeling. petitioners think that the colored should have recognition in this be officered by men of their o color. Furthermore, that Major Penny should be retained in his command. Governor Budd has expressed the opinion that the colored men are entitled to an opportuni- ty to serve their country In the present war, and he proposes to assist them in their efforts. ——— TO SAIL FOR MANILA ON MONDAY NEXT Major GCeneral Otis Names the Sailing Day of the Third Fleet. The latest date set for the sailing of the third expedition for the Philippines is the 27th inst. The following orders, issued yester- day by Major General Otis, names the day for departure: Brigadier General Arthur McArthur, United States Volunteers, having been designated from the United States Expe- ditionary forces and Department of the Pacific to command the troops of the next expedition to depart for the. Philippines on' or about the 27th inst., is relieved from the command of the Fourth Brigade of the diviison and will supervise the military instruction of the troops which have been selected for embarkation, plac- ing them in as efficient condition in that regard as possible. These troops will re- main in their present brigade organiza- tions for administrative purposes until their departure.

The several cases of diphtheria sent on Monday from Camp Merritt to the Marine Hospital are under rigid treatment at that place.
