Frederick, who _was one of the Cali- fornla cavalrymen who enlisted. during the civil war. The first man from-that body of troops to be killed was a man bearing the same name as that by which the present camp at ather is called— Barrett. The man who was killed was a second lieutenant In a San Francisco eompany. He lost his life in a skirmish with a small body of Confederates near Tucson, Arizona. Lieutenant W. H. Cobbledick, of Com- F, is in charge of the officers’ mess week. He was one of the most anx- lous to enlist all through the time they were awaiting the Governor's call. He is full of patriotism and rightly so, for he was born on the Fourth of July. When a mere baby he made soldiers of sticks, or his plavmates, and has been an ardent National Guardsman for years. He is a good tacticlan and a general favorite among the men and officers. The Eighth Regiment band is making rapid progress and will soon be giving evening concerts for the public. Leader Gomez is glving the musiclans:plenty of practice o-day George Walker, a tuba player of Geyserville, was added to the complement of men and greatly improved the band.

Company C had their photographs taken to-day with all the men and officers. All drills will be excused Sunday except guard mount at 4:30 p. m. SAN JOSE, Ju —Company M, Eighth Regiment, got away for Camp Barrett on the 9:20 train this morning. This Is San Jose’s second contributfon to the war, and the departure aroused great pride and enthusiism among the people. The com- pany, under command of Captain Bald- win, was escorted to the depot by Phil Sheridan Post, G. A. R., and._the Dewey Club. Little time was had for prepara- tion, but the sendoff given the boys this mnrnInF showed that the community is Intensely patriotic. The line of march was thronged with crowds, and at the depot there was a large number to bid the soldiers good-by. During vesterday afternoon and evening and this morning over 150 members signed the roll, but some of these were rejected on physical examination. Elghty-five men departed with Captain Baldwin this morning, and Lieutenant Adel took twenty-three more recruits with him this in- afternoon. e detailed point 1 Haywar: The | ds elec ndly off N CAVALRYMEN DE /i % PLOYED FOR A SKIRMISH DRILL AT THE PRESIDIO. and inserted an advertisement In a morn- ing paper for a cook.

The Latter Ship Will Leave for Hono- | lulu on the Twentieth of This Month. A great deal of speculation is being in- dulged in both as to the time of departure and the destination of the Philadelphia and the Bennington. Admiral Miller un- der whose command both of these ships are placed said last night: “I have not yet received orders in regard to the Ben- nington. As a consequence I can not say st where she will be sent. The orders vy come to-morrow or they may not come for some time, and then again the disposition of the Ship may be lett to me entire “T expect to sail on the Philidelphia about the 20th of the month and T think 1 will be In case o any unforeseen contin- impossible to sail on making it necessary to send the Bennington to Hon- olulu. In that case I would very probably go to Honolulu by sleamshlr. he officers and the crew of both ships are very anxious to get away and can hardly .bide the time of salling. The report that the Bennington is going to the Ladrone Isl- ands {s untrue. I have not been apprised of any such intention of the Government to send the Bennington to that place and 1 would be‘the first who would receive in- formation from headquarters concerning that ggatter.” L Volunteer Engineers. There are now at the camp of the Sec- ond Regiment of United States Volunteer Engineers, on the Presidio plain, three companies of this organization, Company L is officered by Captain Ricken and First Lieutenant Brittan, and comes from San Francisco. The officers of Company I, from Denver, are Captain Draper and Second Lieutenant Kerns. Company M, which arrived from Portland, Or., yester- day, has for its officers Captain Freeman, First Lieutenant Coolidge and Second Lieutenant Tannant. This battallon is in command of Major Langfitt, and the %uartermns(cr Is First Lieutenant F. C. urner. Company K, from Salt Lake, Is expected to arrive in Qakland Monday evening.
