Admiral Miller was seen last night, but refused to tell definitely the destination of the Benning- ton.

Every troop of the Manila command contains the full complement allowed by law During the pa month many applica- tions for enlistment, sustained by high influences, have been rejected. In the two troops performing duty in the Yel- Jowstone National Park there are sev- eral vacancies, but every troop at the Presidio is recruited to the maximum, and good men desiring to enlist are turned away every day. Many of the recruits accepted since the beginning of the present war belong to families well known in the country and some of the youngsters are sure to inherit fortunes if they safely pass through the ordeal of conflict. Light Batteries D and G of the Sixth United States Artillery will also leave the Presidio at 9 o’clock this morning to embark on the steamer Peru. This battalion, in command of Major Gru- gan, is composed of excellent men who get everything aboard.

They were encamped at Camp Black for over a month, and for the past six weeks have been doing garrison duty at Forts Wadsworth and Hemilton and” Governors Island. It was exactly 6:10 o'clock when the first section, consisting of ten gleepers, rolled into the Southern Pacific ‘depot at Oakland. The soldier boys soon made known their arrival by loud and prolonged cheers for San Francisco. Captain Put- nam Bradlee Strong, who was detailed by General Marcus P. Miller to escort the regiment to camp, reported to Colonel Barber, and in a few moments Companies M, G and H were formed upon the plat- form and ready to march.

The commander of the First New York, Colonel Thomas Henry Barber, looks every inch of him a soldier, and he has a record of over a quarter of a century in the regular army and the National Guard of New York together that justifies one's impressions. He is about § feet 10 inches in height, stockily bullt, with a ruddy complexion. His features are prominent and well formed, while in his keen blue eyes there is a cértain look that indicates a %real reserve force of do and dare. His halr, light in color, is well sprinkled with gray, while he wears a clean-shaven face, with the exception of a small, sandy gray mustache, His demeanor is quiet and re. served, but in conversation -he is most affable. What he has to say is to the oint, and his remarks indicate that he nows what he is talking about. Colonel Barber is & man in the prime of life, being just 5 years of age. He was appointed a cadet to West Point in 1563 from New York, and graduated with high honors four years later. His service in the regular was with the First panies named, and also Comparies F, | and C; while the officers of the remaining six companles of the regiment did not get in until 7:46 o'clock, when the third sec- army United States Artillery, with which branch of the service he served for eighteen years.

The regiment had battalion drill this morning, and despite the fact that it was the first since the regiment was reorgan- ized from the Natlonal Guard the work was well done. The non-commissioned officers who act as guides were especially well up in their arduous and exacting duties. The enlisted men highly appreciate the big tent of the Army Christian Commis- sion. All day long the writing tables are crowded with boys writing home and to friends. Each évening from 7 to § rell- glous services are held. after which the men give informal programmes. Last evening Rev. ¥. J. Akers of the Centen- nial Presbyterian Church spoke. This evening Noel H. Jacks of the Y. M. C. A. conducted the service and Ernest McCan- dish the singing. Rev. R.
