Pl DRILL OF THE KANSANS. Attracts a Large Attendance to the Army and Navy Chris- tian Commission Benefit. The men of the Twentleth Kansas Regl- | ment, United States Volunteers, under command of Colonel Frederick Funston, | drilled last night in Mechanics’ Pavilion | | under the auspices of the Army and Navy | Commisston. The men worked like veterans and won the highest commendation from General Marcus P. Miller, the reviewing officer. The spectators were provided with flags | which they waved upon every possible | oceasion. "Th\- tid-bit of the programme was sim- ply announced: Company drill, by Com- pany K, Captain Edmund Boltwood. The | | drill proved an elaborate affair. In ad- dition to regular evolutions the men gave | an excellent exhibition of fancy drilling. Their work throughout was punctuated with applause. ard mount was performed in double- quick time, an innovation here. The offi- | cers were: Adjutant, Captain Fred E.| Buchan; old officer of the day, Captain | Henry B. Orwig; new officer of the day, | Captain Charles I Martin: officer of the guard,, Lieutenant Huddleston; ser- geant major. Frederick R. Dodge. | Mme.

ILLNESS e IN THE RANKS, Many Soldiers Will Be Dis- charged—Blood Poisoning From Vaccine. The board of medical survey has ad- journed to meet again on Monday. The next meeting place will be Major Rafter's tent at the Presidio. Dr. Mathews of the Fifty-first Iowa, who has been one of the members of the board, has been attached to the fleld hospital, ‘and his place has been filled by Dr. Huffman of the Twen- tieth Kansas, Late reports show that the percentage | of ‘men discharged will be much greater than was first estimated. The first es- timates placed the figure at about three to the company: later developments show an increase to seven or elght to the com- pany. o The death of-Private Daniels of the | First Colorado recruits will probably be | followed by the death of one of his com- rades, Private A. Loosa of Company E. Loosa acted as one of the pall-bearers at the funeral on Wednesday, and was taken 1l ag the graveside with 'septicemia, the same peculiar and deadly malady that killed Danlels. ¥ With_the rest of the men of his com- mand Loosa was vaccinated about week ago, and since that time he has guffered unusually from the action of the virus. In some way the wound made by | the vaccine point was polsoned by con- | tact wth his shirt sleeve, and yesterday grave symptoms of.blood poisoning de- veloped. He grew rapldly worse, and Dr. Huffman was compelled to have him taken to the French Hospital, where the physicians in charge hold out small hope or his recavery. —— ILL AT CAMP BARRETT. First Case ol »crious Sickness Reported in the Eighth California. CAMP BARRETT, Sather Tract, Aug. | 4—The first case of what Is regarded as serfous,sickness was reported to-day at the headquarters of the hospital corps, and the patient, Private Frank Bush, of Company F of Oakland, was immediately removed to Fabiola Hospital. He was first taken sick a week or 80 ago, suffer- ing from a severe cold. The last four days, however, his temperature ran ex- ceedingly high, and strong symptoms of typhoid-pneumonia were manifestdd to- day; hence his removal. he quartermaster's department was | kept busy to-day on account of the ar- rival of a large shipment of shoes, uni- | forms, blouses and trousers, blanket bags, | for marching and complete equipment of | shelter tents for the entire regiment. Colonel Henshaw has ordered all supplies 1o be equally distributed among the vari- ous companles. The regiment is being conducted on as practically a military basis as possible. The proposition is be- ing reached of having the regiment look first-class and yet carry no surplus. The regiment {8 now equipped with every practical necesgity, and is in a position to be ordered to the front at any moment, Much has been accomplished in a short space of time, although the Eighth has not yet been attached to any brigade, bt 2t bdeg THIRD U.

A pistol shot startled the inmates of a lodging-house on Post street, near Grant avenue, last night. The smell of powder issued from an open transom and the braver inmates of the house forced open the door and found a handsome young woman, a Mrs. Van Ness, stretched out on the carpet with a revolver at her side.
