Colonel Summers had about a thousand men at tdble, but, with the other invited guests, including the members of the First Volunteer Signal Corps, recruited in Cali- fornia, who returned from Manila with the Oregon boys, there were fully 1200 seated. Major General Shafter was there, ac- companied by his staff, and so was Briga- dier General Warfleld and staff. After the soldier lads had appeased their appetites Mr. Dohrmann mounted his chair and the band stopped playing long enough for him to deliver a - short but appropriate address of welcome to the city’'s guests.
