R i MINGLEDJOY AND SORROW = Soldiers Happy at the Victory, but Regret the Loss of So Many of Ameriea’s Sons.

Among his classmates here at present are Lieuten- ant Gohn, Fourteenth Infantry; Lieuten- ant Munton, Twenty-third Infantry, and Lieutenant = Butner, Third Artillery. These officers were greatly grieved at the news of the death of their old classmate, | whom they spoke of in the very highest | terms of praise. The commands that participated in the | big parade left camp at about 8 o'clock. They were the Seventh California, Twen- | tieth Kansas, First Tennessee and Fifty- | first Towa regiments. regiments ssembled on Point Lobos avenue at 7 )'clock and, according to orders, their colonels reported t 3.

It was reported that he had issued orders assigning the expedi- tion_to Manila, but this was denied at his headquarters. The order, however, will probably be issued some time to-day. By order from the War Department Private McMahon, Company M, Eight- th United States Infantry, was ar- ed as a deserter. He is charged with MecMahon will be removed to the Presidio pending his trial by a court-martial. A'sergeant in the Twentieth Kansas was arrested and placed In_the guard- house for firing off a loaded pistol in camp. Captain T. J. Shea, who has been chief clerk to Chief Quartermaster de Voll, has been transfered to the commissary de- partment under Major C. 8, Boots. Delbert Whiting of the Utah Cavalry was thrown from his horse yesterday at the corner of First and Point Lobos ave- nuies and badly bruised. He was cared for by the field hospital corps. L. W. S. H. Mathews has been de- tached from the Fifty-first Jowa and as- slgned to duty as sanitary inspector of Camp Merritt. Dr. Mathews, who has established a wide Feputation as an expert in sanitation, has_gone hard to work at his new duties and it is hoped that Camp Merritt_will be relieved of some of its multitudinous smells. s b COLONEL LITTLE RESIGNS. The Twentieth Kansas Regi- ment Loses Its Popular Offi- cer—Promotions. It is stated at Camp Merritt, and upon most excellent authority, that Lieutenant Colonel Little, Twentieth Kansas, has tendered his resignation to the War De- partment. Lieutenant Colonel Little came out to this coast as acting colonel in command of the Kansas Regiment. Three weeks ago Colonel Funston arrived, and Lieu- tenant Colonel Little was reduced to the subordinate rank. Colonel Funston immediately set up radical changes in the administration of regimental affairs, with the result that he soon had his command in as excellent a shape, from the military standpoint of discipiine and drill, as any of the troops that have come to the coast. The change from the activity of his previous position to the humdrum of a lieutenant colonelcy was too much for Colonel Little, and two weeks ago he was taken serious| 11, and removed to the Waldeck Sanitarium, where he now is. Lieutenant Colonel Little assigns chronic physical disqualification as his reason for resignation, 1f Lieutenant Colonel Little's resigna- tion be accepted, a number of popular promotions will be in order. Senior Major Frank H. Whitman will in all probability move to Little's quarters; Junior Major Metcalf will ascend in rank, «s will Senior Captain Buchan. g MILITARY MEN ARE HAPPY The Glorious News From the Seat of War Is the Cause of Great Rejoicing. At military headquarters in the Phelan building there was very little business transacted yesterday, and what was done was of no great importance. The glorious news from Santiago occupied everybody’s attention, and all the officers were in a very joyful mood. At an early hour in the afternoon they quit business for the day, locking their offices, and proceeded to observe the national holiday each in his own way. The victory of Shafter, the annihilation of Spain’s fleet, and the Inevitable fall of Santiago, which is expected to-day, make a combination of circumstances which in the opinion of thoughtful military officers now in San Francisco, entirely changes the situation, and all within three days, so that it now seems almost unnecessary to send any more troops to Manila. At any ate, very slow progress has been made nce last Friday in the formation of the fleet for the fourth Manila expedition, and ertion in 1895 from the Tenth Infantry. | | | Presidio, are waiting for the expected to happen if the happening is one of victory, as is confidently looked for, then the rush will be over. We have been making history so rap- idly in the last ninety days that people do nof realize what has been actually accom- plished in that short period,” said Lieu- tenant Colonel Morris, commandant of the last evening. ‘They have not been able to keep up with the procession. They have not had time to Tead more than the headlines of the newspaper dis- patches. Why, just think of it! In three months we have reached out to the Pa- cific and Atlantic with a strong navy and a_well-organized army, larzely composeu and have annihilated two , and have both Manila and nes and Santiago and Cuba at The next thing will be the an- now in the Mediterranean. That will wipe Spain off the water, if not off the face of the earth. The worid has never sesn any- thing like this before, and probably never will again. I am glad I have lived to see this day “Those are my sentiments exactly,” chimed in Major Hess, the Third Artillery veteran. “‘Here, too,” said several of the Presidio officers in chorus. e — AN ARMY MYSTERY. Under What Name and What Troop Did Robert Riley Jones Enlist? Robert Riley Jones, a private in the ranks, aged 18 years, Is stationed at some one of the camps in this city. Just which one it is, neither his father, who writes from Chicago, nor any of the officers at Camp Merritt seem to know. In fact, it is thought that Master Robert Riley en- listed under an assumed name. The only clew that Jones senior has to his boy's regiment is the following extract from a decidedly dime novelesque letter written from this city to a young lady in Chi- cago: “The captain in our troop is the most dare-devil captain in the service. It was he who went out after some great Indian chief some few years ago, and, although the Philippi our mercy. nihilation of the last Spanish fleet, in he lost his troop, he broke up the war and | He has been in | brought back the chief. the service twenty-four years and he has the crack rough riding troop in the serv ice. e is always given the most danger- ous frontier posts.” So far Captain Jeffery, to whom the let- addressed, has been unable to any one with hair long enough to y_him as the hero captain of dan- gerous frontier post: The boy's father i Sidney B. Jones, an official of the C. I. and L. Rallway Com- pan He is very much worried over his son’s whereabouts, but says that he will allow him to remain in the army if he will only communicate with his parents. e HUSSARS TO ENTERTAIN. For the Benefit of the Equip- ment Fund and the Red Cross Society. The concert, competitive drill and ball to be given at Golden Gate Hall, 625 Sutter street, this evening is for the benefit of the equipment fund of Mosby’s Hussars and the Red Cross Society. Compliment- ary invitations have been sent to the Native Daughters’ Red Cross Aid Soclety, Catholic Truth Society, Red Cross Soclety, Young Ladies’ Institute, Daughters of the American Revolution and others. Troop A of the Hussars, Captain Lo- renzo commanding, and Troop B, under Captain Furman and Lieutenant Graham, will report at Golden Gate Hall at 7 o’clock sharp. Troop A, National Guard of California, and Companies C and L, League of the Cross Cadets, will report at the Armory, Tenth and Market streets, at 7:15, and the Signal Corps at the Ellis- street armory a. the same hour. The column will form at Van Ness and Golden Gate avenues and march thence to the hall, headed by the band of the League | of the Cross Cadets. At the conclusion of the exercises a vote will be taken to decide who is the most popular member of the Red Cross Society. THE PLAYHOUSES WELL PATRONIZED “HELD BY THE ENEMY” AT THE GRAND OPERA-EOUSE.

There were several changes In the cast, and they materially strength- ened the production. Thomas C.

He was neither forward nor retiring, but struck the happy medi- | um, which chimed in with the other char- | acters and rounded out the whole.

In re- sponse to cries the band had to play “Yankee Doodle,’ “Marching Through Georgl id finally ‘‘America.” “Fort Frayne” will be repeated every evening this” week. The Tivoli. The revival of “The Mikado” at the Tivoli last night received a very hearty welcome, as did also the two old favor- ites, Elvia Crox Seabrooke and William lar house. Notwithstanding the many at- tractions outs the streets, 1 lting from the glorious war news, there was a fine audience and it was well entertained. The jolly Japan- ese opera still retains its charms, when Well presented, and the production on this occasion was decidedly meritorious, par- ticularly the second act, the special gems of which were encored again and again. As Koko, the Lord High Executioner, Edwin Stevens was at his best and cap- tured the house, his all round conscien- tious work and grotesque dancing being highly appreciated. In each of the songs, “ihe Flowers That Bloom,” etc., and “"f‘ile Willow,” he was recalled until he was too breathless to sing longer. His comedy work and odd Japanese acro- batics were equally good. Miss Seabrooke’'s slmflng and acting were highly pleasing to her many admir- ers present, her characterization of Yum- Yum being cleverly done. She has not pined away in her absence, but is the same plump, jolly favorite. Helen Merrill as Pitti Sing was exceptionally captiyat- Fred A. Poliock, Manager. ing and won urstinted applause.

Anna Cald- well, Falke and Semons, the three Watsoi | sisters and Zamora, the two Judges and Jones, Grant and Jones all contributed to an excellent bill. The California. “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” at the California, has not lost interest, and considering the | circumstances is doing quite well. The play is running smoothly and a good per- formance is the result. Edith Hall's Topsy is an artistic piece of work, and the singing of Uncle Tom—Rhys Thomas —makes an unusually pleasing feature of this part. The bu: goes all the week. Olympia Music Hall. The Olympia Music Hall attracted a good house by its bill, including Tom | Ryan, “the mad musician,” who provoked | no end of fun by his eccentric genius; Murry and Reynolds, character change artists, do as neat a turn as is to be seen anywhere, while Maude Rockwell, who sang for the first time in this city Sousa’s celebrated march, “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” was cheered to the echo. The biograph has new war scenes. At the Chutes. A splendid display of fireworks was pro- vided by the management of the Chutes for the thousands of people who crowded the spacious grounds.

OAKLAND CANOE CLUB. C. L. Taylor’s Nereid Wins the Race for the Holiday Cup. The Oakland Canoe Club entertained its friends' yesterday from 10:30 in the morn- ing till the last car at night. Commo- dore Philip Caduc kept open house on his handsome sloop Annie; Vice-Commodore H. G. Hinckley took several partles out in his gasoline launch Belvidere, and Sec- retary Charles Stewart was untiring in his efforts to make things pleasant for the club's guests. Messrs, Stewart and Bowen's new sloop Beatrice went into commission yesterday and many of the visitors enjoyed a pleas- ant cruise in the creek, the breeze being | fair. In the afternoon the canoe race for the Holiday cup was held. The three boats entered finished in this order: C. L. Tay- lor's Nereid first, Clyde Carman’s Gipsy second and Howard Byxbee's Whim third. A swimming race, 150 yards with a turn, resulted as follows: C. L. Taylor first, Clyde Carman second, and Howard Byx- bee third. The same three then took tubs and a paddle aplece, but C. L. Taylor fell out of his craft before he had gone twen- ty yards. Carman and Byxbee rounded the stakeboat, but did not finish. The headquarters of the club are on Sessions Basin, East Oakland, and in- clude a boathouse, dressing room with lockers and clubroom. After the sports refreshments were served and in theeven- ing musicians were on hand and dancing went on in the boathouse. At intervals the yachts and rowboats took the guests out for a moonlight cruise. Among those present were: Commodore Cadue, Vice- Commodore H. G. Hinckley, Secretary Charles Stewart, Mr. and Mrs. Bowens, Miss Gaines, Miss Barteaux, Messrs. C. 1. Taylor, Clyde Carman, Howard Byx- bee and Miss Blood. —————————— CHARGED WITH MURDER. Result of a Fight between John Palmer and E. R. Paterson Saturday Night. . The fight between John Palmer and E. R. Paterson at 1155 Folsom street, where they both resided, on Saturday night has resulted in a charge of murder being booked at the City Prison yesterday against Palmer, Paterson having died at the City and County Hospital yesterday morning. Palmer is a painter and Paterson was a carpenter. Both families lived in the same house, and Saturday night they quarreled and fought. Paterson hit Palmer over the head with a club, fracturing his skull, and Palmer grabbed hold of Paterson and threw him over the banisters to the floor below, falling after him. 3 Both men were taken to the Recelving Hospital, where it was found that Pater- son was suffering from concussion of the brain. He was sent to the City and County Hospital Sunday_ afternoon and died yesterday morning. “Palmer is still in nksfiricun condition from his fractured skull. AT THE BATHS. Soldiers in Spirited Swimming and Racing Contests. The races at Sutro Baths drew a large ated great enthusiasm among the au- | crowd yesterday afternoon. The events were closely contested, but the honors of the day rested with Sergeant Dundy of the Washington volunteers, who figured prominently in three events. Dundy is undoubtedly the best all-round swimmer among the soldiers now camped in the city. The results were as follows: 50-yard dash, J. Seaman first, J. Miller, G. Dun- dy; pavilion race, R. Cornell, California Swimming Club, first, G. Cowen second; | 100-yard dash for Minnesota volunteers, B. Risch, Company B, first; J. C.
