FR K K K K K KX K KK The facts regarding the number of troops furnished by California under the first and second calls of the President are fully set forth by A. W. Barrett, Adjutant General of the State. On July 10, the Ad- jutant General of the United States army in Washington was advised by wire that the second quota of this State was complete. Yet, as late as July 20, reports were given out from the office in Washington that “California was slow in responding to the second call, having fur- nished only 624 men.” The attention of Adjutant General Barrett was called to these erroneous reports, whereupon he again wired the facts to ‘Washington and prepared the following statement for publication: SAN FRANCISCO, July 21, 1898. Editor of The Call: I notice in the press of vesterday and to-day a statement purporting to come from the War Department in Washington by Associated Press dispatches in which it is clalmed that California is slow to complete her quota under the second call for troops to be mustered into the United States service. This report gives California’s quota as 1016 men, and it is claimed that only 624 men have been enlisted. The facts of the case are these: Under the President's first call the Secretary of War tele- graphed to the Governor that the number of troops required from California would be two full regiments and two battalions of infantry and four bat- teries of heavy artillery. These two regiments consisted of twelve companies each and the two battalions of four companies each, making thirty-two companies of infantry with eighty-one enlisted men and three officers; and four batteries of heavy artillery, with 150 enlisted men and four officers. On May 9, 1898, the Governor notified tne Secretary of War as follows: I have the honor to report that all California’s quota of United States Volunteers are rendezvoused in San Francisco. Medical examination will be completed to-day and muster completed to-morrow. We are read- to furnish two more elght-company regiments equipped as National Guardsmen if needed. On May 13 the adjutant general of the United States army reported that instructions had been given to mustering officers to notify the department in Washington by telegraph when troops were mustered into the United Stat service. On May 27 the Secretary of War wired the Governor that it was estimated that it would require about 1076 enlisted men to fill to the maximum the organizations already in the service. On May 30 the adjutant wired as follows: e first call for one hundred and twenty-five thousand men it was contem- the number of original organizations called for should have the maximum . but on account of additional organizations having to be accepted ced to eighty-one enlisted men per company. The maxi- one hundred and six enlisted men per company of Infantry, cavalry, ons hundred and seventy-three per light battory, battery, one thousand three hundred and twenty-six of all consisting of three battalions of four companies each. e wish of the President to supply, in 3 call for seventy-five thousand as mav organization service from your State to the maximun ecretary of War bids me to say that recruiting officers will be da- superintend under army regulations enlistments for this purpose of of men wired you May 27.

The Governor immediately took steps to have the additional recruits un- der the second call for the thirty-two companies of infantry and the four batteries of heavy artillery musterea into the volunteer service, giving to each company of infantry twenty-five men, and fifty men to the batterfes of heavy artillerey, making a total of 1000. On June 18 the Secretary of War wired to the Governor of California to muster in a full regiment of twelve companies which, under the instruce s of the above telegram, consisted of 1326 enlisted men and officers. The ttalion of this regiment was rendezvoused at Camp Barrett, Oakland, . the second battalion on June 20 and the third battalion on June v 10 the following telegram was sent to the adjutant general of KK KKK KKK H R KRR KKK KRN R K KX KKK KK R * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * # * * * * % * * * * * * * # % * * * * * * * ntemplated troop of the number On Ju the United States army: I have the honor to report that Callfornia’s second quota mustered into the United States service, and the Eighth California Regiment 1s now complete ard ts now A. W. BARRETT, Adjutant General California. It will be seen that Califorr*a was called upon to furnish as her second ata 232 enlisted men and officers. Her first call consisted of about 3377 ted men and officers, making a total of about 5653 men that have been ished by this State to the War Department. There has been furnished 100 officers and men from tne Naval Militla for the United States navy. We have furnished about twenty men and three officers to the signal service. In addition It is estimated that about 2000 recruits have been fue- nished to regiments of other States and the regular army which have been rendezvoused near and around San Francisco. All of this she has done cheerfully and promptly and stands ready and anxious to furnish the United States Government several additional = regi. ments. Very respectfully, A. W.

Morning Glory —_————— MAD ACT OF A BOY. John Acapoleo Stabs the Man He Thought Would Kill His Father. Belleving that his father's life was in danger, John Acapoleo, an 1l-year-old boy, stabbed Bartholomo Demartini in the right breast last evening, while the father and Demartini were engaged -in an altercation. The boy was arrested by Omcer Mahoney and charged at the Cali- fornila-streét station with assault with a deadly weapon. The trouble started early in the after- noon, while Pletro Acapoleo was away | from his carpenter shop, at 7 Gavin place. A number of boys had been turning on | Edmonds’ | the water in some houses near there which were owned by Demartinl. He warned the boys away, and thinking | had threatened to eat him if he | ever caught him. The boy is of a very | nervous disposition, and the threat of | Demartini, added to the report that the man is crazy, preved upon the boy's | mind until he was almost hysterical. On the return of the father in the even- ing the occurrence was reported to him, and he went down to the bakery Demar tini conducts, at his home, and the two men became engaged in a wordy war, | the principal portion of which consisted | of oaths and hard names. At the begin- | ning of this brawl the boy had been at his father's shop, where some of the | boy's playmates soon went with the re- port that Demartini was going to kill Acopoleo senior. The young son, already constderably excited, rushed to the scene | of the trouble, and perceiving the two | men gesticulating violently, became con- | vinced that his father was In danger, and, | thinking to save his life, made an assault | on Demartini with his pocket knife. The boy when placed in the cell at| the station was greatly agitated, but| when visited by his father, who assured | him he would bail him out’ before he re- | mained there long, he tried to control himself, and made a brave though vain | attempt. The father returned in a short time with the information that he could secure no bail so late. This information | threw the little fellow into a paroxysm of grief, which the officers feared might result in a derangement of the mind. | After several efforts Mr. Acapoleo suc- ceeded in having the boy released on his own recognizance. | —_— e———— TRANSPLANTING OF BASS. Game Fishes Taken From Temescal | and Vallejo Lakes to Cooler Waters. Some years ago the Fish Commission- ers planted several game and toothsome | black bass in the small lake near Temes- cal, Berkeley, and also in the sheet of water from which Vallejo receives its supply. The bass thrived In both lakes, | and anglers who gained permission tu fish in the preserves enjoved some rare sport which is now a thing of the past. | Owing to the extremely dry winter the lakes in question have run very low and the water being consequently warm the bass are dyini. Yesterday the Commissioners ordered two of their deputies to repair with nets to Temescal and Vallejo and save as many of the bass as can be secured alive. | The fishes will be placed in cans suitabie | for the purpose of transportation and placed in some of the lakes or rivers ot the State that are considered favorable stocking. ro"I"he blfl(‘g bass of Russian River, al- though in splendid condition, have a ratr er unpleasant flavor this year owing prin- cipally to the fact of the fish secret- ing themselves under the decayed lum- ber which imparts to them a taste ot the redwood. John Gallagher creeled two bass onMon. day last which scaled respectively four {ouns Acapoleo one of the mischievous 0Y'S, and a half and three and a quarter pounds.
