THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1898. SOUTH DAKOTA BOYS TO SAIL SATURDAY HE Seventh California Volun- teers have received direct assur- ances from President McKinley that the regiment will sail for Manila on the transport Scandia. The facts were placed before the President by Governor Budd and Sen- ator Perkins, hence the desire of the volunteers for active service at the front will soon be gratified At the Presidio there is talk that Major General Shafter will shortly re- turn to San Francisco and take com- i of the Department of California. sionally officers get ~a hint h private telegrams from in- friends contemplated It was remarked yesterday by an officer: “I belleve General Shafter will be here within three weeks. He has finished his work at go and will not care to stay nger. Should he express to return here the War De- nent would probably comply with his request.” The elerical force in the adjutant general's office at Washington must be rattled.

The manfers are care. fully hollowed out and padded to prevent the occupants of the stalls from coming into too foreible contact with any pro- jection, and each stall will be provided with an electric light for the convenience of mules that may be troubled with in- has been | somnia. For this purpose a fine electric plant has been put \nto the ship (by the Government), and the dynamo will also be used to operate immense electric ven- tilating fans at both ends of the ship and on the upper and ’tween decks on which the high-bred passengers will be located. This will give them a constant current of pure, fresh air, as there are no bulk- heads on either deck, and is an arrange- ment that would have brought blessings suffering soldiers, had been similarly, equipped. A passageway extending the full length of the ship on both sides, also well padded, has been provided on both decks for the promenade of the mules and horses, and there each day, attended by 8rooms in the livery of Uncle Sam, they will be glven such exercise as their con- stitutions demand. In addition to all this, careful attention as been paid to their sleeping arrange- ments, & matter that in the cdse of the soldiers was dismissed with little consid- eration. Animals will rarety lie down on board ship, and if they do they are apt to be badly battered up by the motion of the vessel. the stalls have been built so narrow that it will be impossible for the animals to get down, but to prevent them from be- coming fatigued, hammocks will be slung in each stall for their convenience. These hammocks are canvas affairs, passing snugly under the body, the ends being se- curely fastened to the sides of the stalls. The mules and horses will gradually learn to rest themselves on these ham- mocks, thus relieving their legs of their weight. The Tacoma is supplied with their transports large condenser capable of supplying 2000 gal- cold baths. Forward of the stalls are the quarters for the twenty-four soldlers and sixteen civillans, who will have charge of the an- imals. It is gratifying to note that here, too, every provision has been made for the comfort of the occupants, while the cabin of the Tacoma is belng newly up- holstered and refurnished throughout and will be the most elegantly fitted up of any salling ship that ever passed through the Golden Gate.

All orders now issulng from General Miller's headquarters, whether they be connected with the movement of troops or the de- tailing of an assistant adjutant gener: are captioned “under instruction from. “by direction of.” the commander of the luq;;xlrl‘r\‘;nllet o{ alifornia. General Miller has the honor of thei te, General Merriam the honor of thc-iill: promulgation. Under the new method of procedure the administration of expedi- tionary affairs has settled down to a smooth running basis. Apropos of General Mill the general stated in an_ interview last evening that he expected to get away with the next expedizion by August 8. - er and affairs, IN THE KANSAS CAMP. Medical Board Ordered to Pass Upon the Physical Qualifica- tions of Colonel Little, Upon representations from the proper medical authority Brigadier General Mil. ler has ordered a medical board convened to examine Into the physical condition of Lieutenant Colonel . C. Little, once acting commander of the Twentieth Kan- sas Volunteers, to discover if he be not physically disqualified for the duties of his post. For five weeks past Lieutenant Colonel Little has been compelled to sign the payroll while lying in his bed at the ‘Waldeck Sanitorium. It has come to be a well-circulated al- legation at Camp Merritt that the charge of *‘physical disqualification” only serves to cloak a regimental skeleton. The for- mal charge that has progressed through the proper channels is as has been stat- ed, but accompanying it have gone let- ters, one of them, it is sald, emanating from Brigadier General King, declaring Little to be a non-competent of the rank- est order. These letters are in no wise to be used as evidence of physical inca. pacity. They are simply for the informa- son and guidance of the proper authori- es. Lieutenant Colonel Little is evidently resolved to combat the charge against him. He has removed him: lf from the Waldeck and has engaged apartments at| 1 Lincoln Inn, overlooking the camp of the Kansans. There, with the strong arm and glad hand of his favorite lieutenant, W. A. Deford, he is slapping the backs of the men of the ranks, and a few days will show to what effect. The few days to come and their result are being spec- ulated upon with some anxiety by the active officers of the regiment. EIGHTr CALIFORNIA. Presented With a Fine Stand of Colors by the Citizens of Oakland. CAMP BARRETT, SATHER STA- TION, July 20.—The event of the day here was the presentation of a stand of colors by the citizens of Oakland to Colo- nel Henshaw's regiment at 4:30 this even- ing. There were several thousand spec- tators present to witness the scene. The regiment was drawn up on three sides of a square, facing the visitors. Adjutant General A. W Barrett, with Colonel F. S. Chadburne, Colonel J. F. Burgin, Lieu- tenant Colonel A. Andrews, Lieutenant Colonel J. S. Young, Lieutenant Colonel W. D. Sanborn, Lieutenant Colonel George H. Pippy, Lieutenant Colonel J. D. Howell, of Governor James Budd's staff, were the honored guests of the oc- casion. These, with the color guard and committee presenting the colors, ad- vanced to the colonel, where the present- ation was made. The heavy wind, the great distance of the men of the command, and the small- ness of the audience all com- bined to make the speech-making a mat- ter of duty rather than one of pleasure. As a consequence the remarks were much shorter than would otherwise have been. The speech of presentation was made by R. M. Fitzgerald. Colonel Park Hen- shaw, on behalf *of the regiment, re- sponded. The regimental colors had a beautiful embroidered seal of the State in the cen- ter, while above was the single word, “California.” * Underneath the wording was, “Elghth Regiment Infantry, Califor- nia, United States Volunteers.” The beau- tiful national flag bore the inscription, “Eighth Regiment Infantry, California United States Volunteers.” Color Ser- geant Brown of Company E, Santa Rosa, received the flag from Colonel Henshaw, and Phil Atkinson, Company D, San Rafael, received the regimental colors. At the closeof the speeches they marched back with their guard to their position with Company I, Grass Valley. A. S. Macdonald carried the flag and P. E. Bowles the colors out to where the exer- cises took place, and held them during the presentation speech. The whole regiment saluted the colors by presenting arms, the bugle corps sounded their salute and the band ren- dered “The Star-spangled Banner."” At the close of the presentation the reg- fment went through its first parade with the field officers mounted. The evolutions were well carried out and showed that l’rllf‘n and officers are getting into fine shape. The movement of the camp across the California railway, begun yesterday, has not been completed, owing to the delay in laying the water pipes. This was fin- ished to-night, and it is expected that the kitchens will be transferred to-morrow. The officers’ tents were moved from High street this morning to the space next the railroad track, so as to avold the dust of the camp. The regimental band will give a concert Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock in front of Colonel Henshaw's quarters. The band is composed of fine musicians, and de- spite the short time they have been play- ing together make _excellent music. Leader Gomez has proved himself the right man in the right place. Regimental quartermaster, Lieutenant Heller, is extremely busy. owing to the arrival of several "carloads of supplies. There is estimated to be over $50,000 worth of clothing, cooking utensils, shelter tents, and field tools for the engineer corps. It is expected that each day will now see the arrival of supolies of various kinds until all of the requisitions are filled. gt EIGHTH ARMY CORPS. More Bad Bacon — An Order Readjusting Brigade Form- ation at Camp Merritt. Another lot of bad bacon has shown up in the commissary of the First Nebraska recruits, and a board of survey has been called to inspect it. The board is com- prised of Captain Gaston O'Brien of the First Tennessee, and Lieutenants John F. Hall and Henry F. Schindler of the Twentieth Kansas Volunteers. They will meet this morning at 9:30 o'clock. Two commissioned and six non-commis- sioned officers of the Twentieth Kansas Volunteers have been detailed to drill the Oregon recruits. . Colonel W. H. Chamberlain, formerly president of the Dirigo Club of this city, from which organization sprang the pres- ent Union League, has two sons in the Seventh California Volunteers. One is Preston Chamberlain in Company M, from Riverside, and the other, Harry, in Company C, from Pasadena.

The accommodations for them at the pos: will be vastly better than at Camp Mer ritt. Major Owen does not anticipate any bad results to any of the siclkd soldiers by reason of the moving. The troops at Camp Merritt will be moved to the Presidio in the next few days. It has been definitely determined that the regiments, as far, as possible, will go into camp on the hills of tbe reservation. One regiment will probably be camped next to the First New York, | between their camp and that of the Alger | Light Battery. Private Benson, Company E, First New | York, is in the post hospital, with what threatens to be pneumonia. Private Keese, Company B, First Washington, is in the hospital with typhoid fever. vate Lewis, Company H, Sixth California, is {1l with a complication of measles and pneumonia. P RELEASED FROM CUSTODY. Two Boisterous Volunteers Re- stored to Liberty by the Court. Private Willlam Stanley of the First Montana Regiment, who attempted to stab his lieutenant on the water front Monday and was knocked down and had his jaw broken, was released from cus- tody yesterday by Acting Police Judge Barry. The regiment has gone to Ma- nila, and no one was left behind to pros- | ecute him. He expects that he will be| attached to one of the regiments now at | Camp Merritt. | Private Willlam Wilson of Company B, | Thirteenth Minnesota, was also set at | liberty by Judge Mogan yesterday. He was_arrested for breaking into a saloon | at Point Lobos and First avenues early | last Sunday morning and stealing sev- eral bottles of whisky and cigars. Major Diggles and other officers gave Wilson a splendid character, and he testified him- self that he was so urunk that he did not know what he had done. Fred [Flueger, the saloon keeper, said he did ot want | to press the charge, and the Judge dis- | missed the case. Wilson’s father is a well known miller in Minnesota, and he was never known to be in trouble before. Hlis sister was in court, and after the case was dismissed he threw his arms around her neck and kissed her. Private J. W. Monroe, who is stationed at Fort Baker, swore to a complaint in Judge Mogan's court yesterday for the arrest of *“John Doe’” on a charge of em- bezzlement. The boys at Fort Baker were in the habit of lnlrnstigg their spare cash | to the cook, and he h: $24 belonging to | Monroe. July 11 Monroe asked him for the money, but he made some excuse and disappeared from the fort. Monroe does not s’mow his name, but he has now as- certained where he can be found. S FIRST NEW YORK. No Time to Be Lost in Getting the Regiment Away to Honolulu. It now appears from the latest develop- ments that the sojourn of the First New York in San Francisco will be a short one. General Merriam intends to get the regiment to Honolulu as fast as possi- ble, and with this end in view the New York boys will be sent over the sea in different detachments just as soon as the transports can be secured. It is rumored that several small vessels have been chartered for this purpose, and as rapid- ly as they can be put in shape the regi- ment_ will be sent to Honolulu for garri- son duty. Colonel Barber will accom- pany the first expedition, and if there are more than two, Licutenant Colonel Stac- ole will_remain until the last ome is Slfipatched It is possible that the first detachment of the regiment may go in- side of ten days, and that the entire com- mand will have departed by the middie of next month. Major Davis has sub- mitted a plan for the post hospital to bs erected at Honalulu, and it has been ap- proved by General Merriam. It will be a one-story bullding with several wings. Colonel Barber is still confined to his room at the University Club, but he hopes to be able to assume command of the regiment in a few davs, R LONGEST TOW KNOWN. Tug Fearless, Now the Iroquois, ‘Will Haul the Tacoma From San Francisco to Manila. The Iroquois, formerly the tug Fear- less and now owned by the Government, 1s about to make the longest tow ever undertaken. She is to haul the ship Ta- coma from San Francisco to Manila by the way of Honolulu, a distance of about 6600 miles. The Tacoma is to carry 100 horses and 120 mules and a coal supply for the Iroquois. Lieutenant George M. Cameron of the Fourth Cavalry Regi- ment is in command of the Tacoma, and is superintending the fitting up of the | vessel for the reception of the animals.
