This announcement explains the order from headquarters directing the Seventh not to move from Camp Merritt to the Presidio, the moval would cause unnecessary trouble.

Colonel Stover managed matters so that no confusion resulted, though the St. Paul went into the stream with a pretty heavy deck load. ] talion mascot, a goat of canny °s, was boxed up and sent aboard, labéled “carrier pigeons.” That goat was the pride of Watertown, S. D., and had to go if the regiment did. The troops did not go on board the St. Paul until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, owing to some work that had to be done in order to afford better ventilation in the forward hold. Meantime the boys re- mained on the wharf. At about 6 o'clock were all on board and the steamer then pulled out into the stream, being | saluted by the usual chorus of steam whistles.

The new camps at the Presidio for the troops from Camp Merritt have been pre- pared. The pipes that are to supply the water have been laid and the necessary | sinks have been dug, and it is expected that the removal of the soldiers from the camp where they have been already too long to their new and better encamp- ment will begin to-day, when the Fifty- first Jowa Regiment will move from Camp | Merritt to the Presidio. The departure of Colonel Barber of the First New York Regiment leaves Lieuten- ant Colonel Stacpole in command. There seems to be no doubt that if Colonel Bar- | ber is made a brigadier general, Colonel Stacpole will succeed him in command of th regiment. Company L, Corps of Engineers, is in command of the battalion in the absence of Major Langfitt, who has gone to Hono- | lulu on the St. Paul.

Young was first suspected of wrong- doing on June 2, when the ladies of the Red Cross discovered that he was selling tobacco placed in his hands for free distribution among .the troops. Since that date Colonel Funston and the brigade commissary have kept careful account of all of his business transactions, with the result that they have amassed evidence enough to con- vict him at his first hearing. Young’s case will be heard by the court-martial now in session. — ST.

Third Battalion South Dakota Volunteers and Recruits March From Camp Merritt and Embark. Another gap is left in the ranks of Camp Merritt, the fourth expedition is complete and again speculation is rife as to the personnel of the next. It will, of course, be known to-day that the Sev- enth California is of the chosen, but there is room for more and now that the South Dakotas and Minnesota recruits are off, curiosity again wields her influence. The South Dakotas were first to get away from camp yesterday morning. Under the command of Lieutenant Colo- nel Stover they arrived at the ship's side HIS GUILT.

The new battery consists of four 3.2-inch breech-loading rifles, known as the “three decimal” guns, necessary wagons and ammunition. John Dale, a private in Company H, First South Dakota Volunteers, died at the Marine Hospital yesterday. Dale was cleaning his rifle on July 10, when it ac- cidentally went off, the ball lodging in his right breast. Dr. Gassaway reported the case to the Coroner's office, but as the deceased had been under a surgeon's care and died on a United States reserva- tion, the Coroner replied that it was out of his jurisdiction. Privates Joseph H. Knapp, Company G, Metcalf, Moses Pritchard and Bert A. Company L, Fourteenth Infantry, now in oV ision’ field hospital at the Presidio, have been assigned to temporary duty with the Third Battalion of the Eigh- teenth Infantry, and will accompany that battalion to Manila. Captain C. B. Thompson, quartermaster at the Presidlo, has been' ordered to in- voice to Major Francis Jones, depot quar- termaster at Manila, .the following prop- erty for shipment on the sailing ship to the Philippines: One hundred and twenty mules, 9 cavalry horses, 30 escort wag- ons and fourteen Red Cross ambulances, with all equipment and extra parts per- taining thereto. bRt D PHYSICAL DISABILITY. Recruits That Should Not Have Been Accepted Will Be Mus- tered Out of Service. It has come to be a notorious fact that many recruits that were mustered into the volunteer ranks of the troops now stationed at Camp Merritt were physical- ly unfit for service at the time of their first examination. The hardships of camp life together with the heavy work of drilling have mercilessly shown up the weak ones, and during the past m<ith they have been dropped from the ranks by the dozen. It has been discovered that six of the cases reported are sufferers from chronic hip disease, others from consumption, rheumatism, heart disease and a dozen other disqualifying maladies. The ac- ceptance of such men is considered little jess than criminal by the regular army officers at camp. In order to eliminate from the ranks the physically undesir- able, the following order was issued yes- ferday from General Miller's headquar- ters: HEADQUARTERS INDEPENDENT DIVI- SION EIGHTH ARMY CORPS, CAMP MERRIT, SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., July 27, 1898 eral orders No. 17, O otordance with General Order No. 100, War_Department, A.

CAMP BARRETT, Sather Station, July 28.—The work of vaccinating the men of | the Eighth California began to-day, and over 500 have already been disposed of. About one or two twenty fainted, to the surprise of the phy- siclans. The work will be completed by to-morrow night. Those who enjoyed the “Laughing Song” of Private Baker of the First Ten- nessee Regiment of Volunteers at the Macdonough recently will learn with deep regret of his death, which occurred last | Tuesday. The hospital corps men now have thelr | mess tent and the Red Cross ladies are | relieved from supplying them with food. There has been but little sickness at Camp Barrett, and according to Colonel Henshaw but one serious case. ihe regi- ment now needs but three men to com plete it. At present there are los men.

From his He is still ‘conscious, however, and talk rationally at all times, apparently without | any pain. | The news that there will be no change in the location of camp has been met on all sides with extreme satisfaction. - e PIE BITERS ABROAD. Soldiers Raid a Baker Wagon and Use Pastry as Deadly Weapons. Willlam Weber, who conducts a bakery establishment and pie factory at 32 Sixth street, complains to The Call that his “cughnuts to the value of $60 or $70, was raided yesterday morning at Camp Mer- ‘rn( by Colorado and Minnesota recruits. Mr. Weber says that the soldiers ‘‘de- molished the wagon all to pleces that he was himself roughly handled. | His litue boy set up a great outery, | whereupon one of the soldiers smashed a pie on the youngster's heac, almost frac- turing the skull. The nud occurred in the presence of one army owcer and Lwo | police officers. To-day the outraged baker will submit | Merriam, commanding the Depurtment of California, being confident that the ger- eral's sense of justice is so strong that he will make an example of the leadars of the raid. This irrepressible desire of the volunteers for ple proves _conclusively that the ladies of the Red Cross Soclety knew what was wanted for the army when the campaign opened. S A DESERVED PROMOTION. Lieutenant Colonel W. A. Bald- win, Purchasing Agent, Goes Up Another Step. The genial countenance of Lieutenant Colonel Willlam A. Baldwin, commissary of subsistence, United States army, and purchasing commissary of subsistence at San Francisco, wore an usually happy smile yesterday. It was caused by a tele- graphic notification of his promotion to the rank of colonel. Colonel Baldwin has been stationed in San Francisco .for several years in his present capagity and has invariably per- formed his duties with marked ability. This is particularly true of his work dur- ing the present war. Since the breaking out of hostilitles he has made many large purchases, involving immense sums of money. In all these transactions he has shown that he,possesses business aualifi- cations far above the ordinary. His pro- n{;mnn is a deserved recognition of his ability. Colonel Baldwin, who was born in Penn- sylvania, graduated from the Military Academy at West Point in 1877, and was assigned to duty as second lieutenant in the Seventh Cavalry, of which regiment he was the quartermaster from April 9, 1880, to November 1, 1881 NOVEL MILITARY DRILL. To Be Performed by the Fifty- First lowa Regiment in Mechanics’ Pavilion. The drill of the Fifty-first Jowa Regi- ment announced for to-morrow evening promises to be one of the most novel and Interesting entertainments that has been given in San Francisco for some time. The Iowa troops gave an exhibition in Mechanics’ Pavilion four weeks ago, and the success then attained by their com- panies and band has induced the mem- bers of Lincoln Post, Woman's Rellef Corps, which is giving the entertainment to-morrow evening, to secure the appear- ance of the same Tegiment. As a unique feature, Colonel Loper has decided to give something as nearly ap- proximating a sham battle as the size of the Pavilion will permit—an attack on a camp guard by a' body of “advancin, troops. A company of men will marc upon the Pavillon floor, erect tents and retire therein for the night. TIhe guard on patrol will be attacked by a hostile force and a lively skirmish will ensue. Following_the drill will be a promenade concert and dance until midnight, the Iowa band furmshln%ethe music. ' The admission will be 25 cents; reserved seats, 50 cents, at Sherman & Clay’s. I A e Soldiers Entertaind. Colonel and Mrs. Harry Mortimer, 2030 Plerce street, have been unremitting in their hospitality to the volunteers at Camp Merritt and the Presidio.

Sediig D The Kansas Boys to Entertain. The drill at Mechanics’ Pavilion next Thursday evening, the 4th of August, will without question be one of the most en- Joyable yet given, as the Twentieth Kan- sas Regiment and officers are making special preparation for the occasion, and there is quite an interest belng manifested in the interior towns. It is expected there most recent of these affairs was last Wednesday evening, when Captain A. W. Pickard, Sergeants W. R. Clark, F. A. Brady, D. F. Howe, Corporal W. H. Car- penter, Chief Musician George W. Farrar, J. S. Carpenter, W. J. McQuade and J. W. Shotthofer, all of Company E, First New York Infantry, sat at the generous table of Colonel Mortimer, where Mrs. Mortimer presided as the hostess. After dinner all the pleasnm[{)lnros in the par- lor were occupled, and an impromptu concert was enjoyed, the instruments em- ployed being the piano, guitar, mandolin and banjo. Among those present of the military, two were journalists, one was an artist, and other professions were rep- resented. R TR g W TR will be excursions from Sacramento, 'WEINHOLD DEFEATED. | stockton, San Jose and other cities. The — Southern Pacific Company has signified its intention of offering special rates. A band concert and living pyramid of flags will be among the interesting features of the evening. The good work veing car- ried forward by the Army and Navy Christian Commission merits a liberal patronage. Over fifty ladies were engaged in sewing for the men last Tuesday, and will be at the various tents of the com- mission again to-day for the same pur- pose. Receipts for work of the commis- sion reported yesterday were: Further returns from the Tennessee Regiment drill, $4105; First M.. E. Church of San First Presbyterian Church of $11; St. John’s M. E. Church, Ventura, $16: CORBETT AND McCOY. Sam Fitzpatrick Writes That Much Interest Is Being Taken in the Match. Sam Fitzpatrick, the manager of Jack Daly, in a letter to the sporting editor of The Call, says that the sports of New York have commenced to take quite an interest in the Corbett and McCoy fight, which is_yet some time off. The noted trainer of pugilists also states that there are quite a number of good judges of prizefighters who believe Corbett will meet more than his match in McCoy..
