No Deaths Reported at the Division Hospita!-——Sur- geons on Duty. Large forces of men were busy vester- day at the Presidio digging trenches and laying pipes to supply the camps water. As soon as this has been done the forces now at Camp Merritt will be moved over upon Uncle Sam's reserva- with | tlon. The Seventh California Regiment, under Colonel Berry, was to have move over yesterday, but the order was coun- termanded. There were no deaths post or division hospital. There were X sick soldlers In the latter yesterday, and of this number many are critically {ll with pneumonia. Major Owen and Lieutenant Page, sur- geons, will sail on the Scandia. This will leave the division hospital under the charge of Major Morris. Captain Hitchcock, Company H, First ew York. who has been confined’tn the Dost hosrlml with pleurisy, has nearly recovered. He will go south for a few weeks to entirely recuperate. esterday at the LEADER OF THE DAKOTAS. COLONEL A T.

The troop leaves hei next week for Sequoia Park and the Yo- semite Valley. The surgeons of the First New York Regiment, by request, will begin the vac- cination of the battalion of engineers. Captain H. A. Springett, formerly of Company B, Second Battalion, Second Regiment of Volunteer Engineers, and Wwho was transferred to Company K of the battalion now here, reported for duty {elterdn)’ to Major Langfitt. The captain nis been stationed at Fort Sheridan, Illi- nois. The ladies of the Red Cross distributed to the men of the New York Regiment Eesterduy, through ILileutenant Colonel These have been given to the men of the other regiments. Colonel Wholley of the First Washing- ton Reglment inaugurated parade at the Presidio last evening with the two bat- talions of his command that he has sta- tioned here. The beautiful ceremony will take place every evening during the week, with the exception of Saturday and Sun- day. It is held upon the post parade round, and owing to the limited area the attalions are formed in column of masses. The execution of the Washington troops in the ceremony speaks well for the faithful manner in which they have been drilled by thelr officers. Private Lansing, Company C, First New York Regiment, met with an accident last night that will keep him from duty for some time, and impress upon his mind the fact that the way of the transgressor is hard. Lansing had been down town and was returning to camp full of hilar- ity and booze, and as the car turned the sharp curve that leads into the Presidlo the soldier was thrown from the platform of the car, and falllng upon his face, was very badly cut about his head and face. He was taken to the hospital, where hi: wounds were sewed up. It will be sev. eral days before he can attend to duty. BREAK CAMP TO-DAY, Route of March of the Third South Dakota Battalion and Recruits. The Third Battalion South Dakota Vol- unteers, the Thirteenth Minnesota re- cruits and 155 of the First Colorado re- cruits will break camp at 8 o'clock this morning, and as soon as they can get their_tents rolled up will take up their march for the transport St. Paul. The line of march will be much the same as that of others; down Point Lobos avenue to Central, along Central to_ Post, down Post to Van Ness, thence to Golden Gate avenue, and down Market to East strect and to the transport. The Colorado recruits that will be left behind were vesterday placed under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Barnett of the Tenth Pennsylvania, as were the four companies of recruits from Oregon, now waiting transportation to their regl* ment. e EIGHTH CALIFORNIA. The Medical Supplies Are Re- ceived and Vaccination Is to Be Begun This Morning. CAMP BARRETT, Sather Station, July 27.—Major W. F. Dudley to-day recelved the United States army depot in San Francisco. It includes every article necessary for the practice of surgery and medicine, all put up in uniform-sized wooden chests. In fact, it is a complete drugstore, with the addition of a modern library. There is a medical case, a dress- ing or surgeon’s case and a field desk. The desk is equipped with all the neces- sary blanks and forms, besides pen, ink, pencils, etc. In speaking of this outfit, Major Dudley sald: “I have had consid- erable experience in hospital work, but I have never seen a more complete equip- ment than this. It has everything from penpoints to a library for the use of the hospital corps, and will place us in a posi- tion to meet any kind of case presented.” Vaccine points were received to-day, and the work of vaccinating the 1300 men of the regiment will be begun to-morrow (Thursday) morning. It is not expected that more than one company will be taken a day, but there will be no delay in putting all through the operation.

There were only thirty-five men, all told, reported to the surgeon yes- terday. The greater number, however, are treated and return to duty at once! There are only about a dozen patients in the hospital. The big tent of the Army and Navy Christian Commission is agaln within the camp lines, to the great delight of the en- listed men. ,After being deprived of its use for a week, they can again go to It to read and write while off duty. The quartermaster's depot has been moved over to the east side of the camp, be- tween the band and the Red Cross So- clety tents, and the vacant space utilized for the big tent. It was thronged to- night with men, who listened to a good, strong and practical talk by D. Edwards Coliins, president of the California Bank of Oakland. The marked improvement of the men in squad, company and battalion drills has decided Colonel Henshaw to get the men out for some extended regimental ma- neuvers. He has not as yet sccured a sultable tract of land in the vicinity of the camp, but expects to soon, as he has several in view. Adjutant D. A. Smith, who has held the rank of captain in the Fifth Regiment, N. G. C., while holding the same posi- tion, fflts only the rank of first leuten- ant. He appeared to-day with one of the bars removed from his shoslder straps, much to the surprise of the enlisted men and others not acquainted with the rank of the staff. The Oakland Ladies' Aid Soclety visited camp this afternoon and presented every member of Company F with a blue and white handkerchief of large proportions, to be used in protecting their necks from the rays of the sun. The gifts were dis- fifth among the men of the Twenty- third. The afflicted ones of the Eighteenth are Privates Edgar Parker, Charles Christ and Christ Murphy of Company M, and Frank E. Smith of Company 1. W. H. Bacon is the sole victim from the Twen- ty-third. The five cases discovered y erday bring the total of typhoid cases already de\'eloged in camp up to thirteen. Private Bush, of the Tenth Pennsyl- vania, who has been suffering from the malady at the French Hospital for two months past, is finally on the road to recovery. P A CLASH IN HIGH RANK. Co!. Barber of-New York and Col Stover of South Dakota Spar for Command. Lieutenant Colonel Lee Stover, com- manding the troops for the transport St. Paul, and Colonel Thomas H. Barber, commanding the New York volunteers and a great deal of influence, had some little difference vesterday over the juris- diction of matters on the transport. It has since been amicably arranged. Although Colonel Stover has been or- dered by the department to take com- | mand of all the troops on shipboard, he yesterday found upon his arrival at the dock that Colonel Barber had in a great measure relleved him of his duties, like- wise his stateroom. As Colonel Barber is accompanying the expedition on de- tached service and had no orders to usurp the office delegated to Colonel Sto- ver his right to the stateroom and to the p=g=ge=RoeFogaRoReRugegeRaRaFaFogoFeReoFegeeFeFaTaF=FoF-RoFaFag o T noon and during a long conversatl Though the camp equipment was ritt telegraphic instructions to resci location.

Private Charles Evans of Nevada City, who was injured some time ago in diving while in swimming, is slowly sinking at the County Hospital, and the physician holds out little hope for his recovery. He is conscious ail of the time, but there is a hemorrhage of the spinal cord, which is a difficult problem to handle. e THE TYPHOID FEVER. FiveCases Developad Yesterday Among the Regulars at Camp Merritt. Five more cases of typhoid fever de- veloped at Camp Merritt vesterday and were immediately removed to the field hospital at the Presidio. Four of the cases were discovered in the remaining battal- fon of the Eighteenth Infantry, and the ORDERS TO MOVE RESCINDED. The Seventh California Will Not Be Transferred From Camp Merritt to the Presidio. Contrary to the orders of Tuesday the Seventh Regiment of California Volunteers will not move to the Presidio this morning. commanding the regiment called upon General Merriam vesterday after- had two weeks' experience at the Presidio and that they were content to remain where they were until they are embarked for the Philippines. vans, General Merriam immediately sent to General Miller at Camp Mer- General Miller at once communicated these instructions to the officers of the Seventh and until it salls the regiment will remaln in its present It is expected that the Fifty-first Jowa will move for the Presidio to- morrow or the next day.

The Times-Unfon of Albany, N. Y., of July 20, publishes an interesting lotter from Private John B. Creighton of the First New York Regiment, now at the Presidio, in the course of which he says: “It was not, however, until we reached Sacramento that we learned what West- ern hospitality fs.

Here the Red Cross Society gave us & royal welcome and a much appreciated lunch. It is no exaggeration to say that no finer company of women were ever seen In this or any other coutnry tham those who met us at thé San Francisco pler under the auspices of the Red Cross Soclety. The culture, refinement and wealth of the city were there represent- ed. Besides the breakfast each man was given a souvenir postal card and a pencil to send a message home. Flowers were glven in such abundance that Uncle Sam’'s soldlers looked more like high- school boys coming from their commence- ment exercises than men going to battl It was, indeed, a memorable ht to see bouquets of American Beauy roses tucked behind cartridge belts holding forty rounds of ammunition and gun-barrels blossoming with oleanders.” ABSTRACTED SUPPLIES. Quartermaster Sergeant of the Twentieth Kansas Arrested for Embezzlement Sergeant James A. Young, regimental quartermaster sergeant of the Twentieth Kansas Volunteers, was yesterday or- dered to his quarters to await trial before the court martial now in session upon a charge of embezzlement under the 60th article of war. It was discovered yesterday by Colonel Funston that since Young took up tho duties of his office he has been conduct- ing a prosperous business on his own ac- count at the expense of the Government. Scarcely a day has passed that he has not sent a wagon load of stuff abstracted from the Government stores under his T town in the delivery wagon B rominent. grocery house. It has been his scheme to take smoking and chewing tobacco in exchange for the stolen goods and dispose of it to the men of the regiment. “ As far as Young's peculations have been investigated he is discovered to be over $109 short in his store — - Drill and Cld Army Songs. Next Saturday evening, in the Mechan- fcs' Pavilion, will be given one of the most unique military drills that has so far taken place this summer. The Iowa regiment, which. along with its famous band, so creditably distinguished it- self in its exhibition several weeks ago, will appear. Besides the regimental and battalion drills, two strikingly novel features, which will be announced to- morrow, are on the programme. The drilling will be interspersed with old army songs, by a selected chorus, and a promenade concert and drill will follow until 12 o’clock. The affair will be under | the auspices of the San Francisco Lincoln Relief Corps. General admission, 25 cents. A few seats which are to be reserved will be on sale at Sherman & Clay’s, at 30 cents. e Assigned to Duty. Second Lieutenant Allen C. Wright of the Eighteenth Infantry andSecond Lieu- tenant A. J.

Division Quartermaster Jeffries has been ordered to determine the number of mattress covers that will be necessary to the troops now in camp at the Presidio and at Camp Merritt. It would seem that the nights of sleeping on the damp sand are numbered. Captain Huffman has recommended the discharge of Private Glen Benedict of the Oregon recruits. Benedict has become in- sane, and It i necessary to keep him under guard. THRASH THE CONDUCTOR S0 DECLARES ATTORNEY BUR-| NETTE G. HASKELL. | HE WILL A Jury Acquits the Lawyer of a| Charge of Disturbing the Peace | of the People. The case of Attorney Burnette G. Has- kell, charged by Conductor F. E.

Mrs. R. B. Patterson, for the defense, testified that she boarded the car with the >ndant to go home after viewing the parade. The defendant roomed at her house. The car was crowded Inside, and | she was compelled to stand. The heat became unbearable, and the defendant sked the conducgor to allow her to stand on the reaf platform, which was not crowded, but the conductor treated her in a yude manner. The d idant also testified that_the conductor acted in a rude way to Mrs. Patters After he had paid the fares he demanded a seat for her, and then he and the conductor had an altercation, | during which the conductor threatened to throw him off the car. The jury retired, and, after an absence | of two minutes, returned, and the fore- man, Jeremiah Deasy, announced a ver. dlct of not guilty. The defendant warmly | shook hands with the jurors, and re-| marked audibly, “I will lick that con- ductor the first chance 1 get. ~—————— MAREKET STREET PAVEMENT. The Merchanté' 'Aséoéiation Supports the Mayor and Supervisors. At a meeting of the Merchants' Asso- clation yesterday a long resolution was passed with reference to the paving of Market street. In it the merchants recite | that one of the objects of the body is to secure to the city clean streets and nolse- less pavements, especially on the large - business thoroughfares. The present con dition of Market street is something of- fensive to the eyes and humiliating to the citizens, parts being paved with basalt, cobhle-stones, wooden blocks, etc. The association has worked hard to have a bituminous pavement laid, and now that the movement is on foot to effect this end it deplores the fact that the street rail- road companies are determined not to stand their share of the expense by re- moving the old one-horse car tracks and making the whole of the roadway uni- form in the matter of the pavement. In conclusion, the resolution states that: ‘Whereas, The Board of Supervisors has declared by resolution that the portion of sald street now occupied by tracks upon which horse cars occasionally run ds {l- legally held by said Market-street Rail- way Company and has ordered the Su- erintendent of Streets to remove such racks on or before August 6, 1893; there- fore, be it Resolved, That the Merchants’ Asso- / | trade and clation hereby Indorses the action of the Board of Supervisors in ordering the re moval of the h car t from Mar- ket street, and hereby pledges the visors and the Mayor the support of the association In a contest that may arns in thelr efforts to compel comp e with ; and be it furthe ed.

AN UNEXPLODED A Souvenir From a Spanish Cruiser Captured by Ad- miral Dewey. G. W. Samuel, of 330% Fourth street, has In his po fon a relic of the pres- ent war, which, to use his own words, “‘money can not buy.” It is nothing mere or less than a two and a half-inch shell, that was taken from the Spanish auxil- fary crulser, Callao, when that vessel was captured in Manila Bay by Admiral Dew ey. The shell has been weighed by Mr. Samuel, and its welght is over eight sounds. The base or cap of the shell s of a brass and copper alloy, and it is in this that the powder for its discharge is loaded. The head of the shell is filled with smaller iron balls that scatter when SHELL. o the shell explodes. concussion. one of the most deadly known, is very The explosion s by his kind of missile, which {s effective at short range. This most In- teresting relic of the war was made a present to Mr. Samue] by Mr. Bafandio, the frelght clerk of the steamer Aztec, which has just returned from Hongkong. The shell was brought over from flmut artery of | t present | | to Hongkong by a saflor and sold to a | hotelkeeper named Goodchild, and he in turn gave it to Mr. Bafandio, who made a ent of it to Mr. Samuels.

Mr. Samuel has taken | the care to have the cap of the very dan- gerous relic unloaded, but even ~when | showing it to his friends he handles the Spanish souvenir in a very gingerly man- ner, and declares that he had rather be behind one of its kind than in front. e THE IRISH FAIR. An American Booth for the Central Ground Space. The general advisory board of the Irish Fair met last night at the Occldental Hotel, President James R. Kelly in the chair. Dr. C. F. Buckley was added to the entertalnment committee. Manager Buckley reported that $4235 50 had been received for advertisements on the programme; $2240 for rented floor space; $3000 for the sale of $1 tickets, and that donations of various natures had been made which amount to $2000. P. J. Healy, president of the executive board, recommended that a prize should be given for the best essay on ‘Unlon df the Celtic Race of the World.” The reception committee has called a specfal meeting at the Langham Hotel for next week. Mayor Phelun announces that ar- rangements will be perfected so that a direct telegraphic arrangement may be had with President McKinley. For the parade on August 22 twenty- two carriages have been offéred the exec- utive committee. Soliciting will positive- ly be Pruhlblteu on the floor. The sell- lnE will be done in the booths. ‘rank T. Shea reported that the Knights of Bt. Patrick have secured the central space of the Pavilion for the American booth, the feature of which will be a replica on a diminutive scale of the Capitol at Washington. The next meet- ing will be held at the Occidental Hotel, two weeks from last night. —— ey THE ELKS ACTIVE. Golden Gate Lodge Will Give a Ladies’ Social and Then a Carni- val Ball—Suits in Prospect. Golden Gate Lodge No. 6, Protective Benevolent Order of Elks, has resolved to give a _grand carnival ball in the Me- chanics' Pavilion on Wednesday evening, November 23. The following named have been appointed an executive committee to make all necessar; arrangements; John Coefield, John . Harney, Henry Newhoff, John T. Van Cleve, M. Levy, Fred Rothman, Frederick Belasco, Graf and Henry H. Davis. 1t is the intention of the committee to give an entertainment preliminary to the grand march on that night, and as that sarl of the programme will be under the irection of Frederick Belasco, lessee of the Alcazar Theater, it is a guarantee that those who will attend will enjoy a treat in the way of amusement. 'he grand march will be an interesting one, in view of the fact that many novel fatures will be introduced. Now that Judge Beawell of the Superfor Court has sustaineds the lodge and de- clared its corporate ‘existence legal, many matters of a serious import, which were held in abeyance pending tne result of the quo warranto proceedings, will be carried into operation. One of the projects is the organizing of lodges throughout the State. Another will be the institution of a mandamus suit to have the charter re- stored, and still anotHer an action to en- join all lodges In this State from using the word Elk in any capacity. It is the intention of the lodge to give a ladies' social at one of the prominent theaters in a short time. e — Robbed of His Clothes. James McKenna, 116 Sixth street, is a plucky young man.

How Two Noted Fishermen Were Trapped and the ‘Wrong Man Accused. F. M. Haight, a popul salesman of Clabrough, Golcher & Co. was agreeably surprised on Tuesday afternoon when a messenger from Wells, Fargo & Co. hand- ed him a package which contained a large fish, There were quite a few prominent ang- lers in the store at the time of the ar- rival of the supposed lordly representa- tive of Russian River and wagers were quickly made as to what variety of the fresh water denizen the package con- tained. Some guessed black bass, others striped bass, others steelhead, but Will Golcher having caught a glimpse of the six-pound monster through the sack, ventured to say pike or “hard mouth,” more com- monly called. Golcher hit the nail on the head. When the sack in which the fish was neatly bound was opened, Mr. Pike put in a very strong appearance, much to the dis- gust of the consignee and the pleasure of the witnesses who subsequently drank to the health and success of Mr. Haight and the friend who was so thoughtful. as to ship him a ‘prize beauty” from the far distant fishing ground.

I will present it to some of my cash customers who cannot tell the difference between a pike and a king salmon.” Butler then addressed a letter to Mr. Gallagher, who is angling for bass on Russian River, thanking him for kind re- membrance and intimating that a_bass wculd be preferable to a pike. When Gallagher received Butler's letter he an- swered by telegraph: “What's the matter with you, Got 'em again? fish of any kind John? I haven't shipped you a GALLAGHER.” Sl B e YACHTSMEN WILL CELEBRATE Edna’s Owner Will Fill the Wallace Trophy To-Night.

Two slashing six-round bouts and an abundance of ~reliminary “goes” wers witnessed by a large number of fight fol- lowers at the San Francisco Athletic Club last ‘night.
