They shivered and they shook, At 4:30 o’clock in the afternoon a gen- eral assembly of the regiment in the west end of the parade grounds was or- dered by Colonel Summers for the purpose of presenting Governor Geer to the regiment. The men were summoned by the blast of a trumpet, formed into companies and marched unarmed to the place of concentration. Governor Geer, attended by his stam; took his stand in the front of the regl- ment close to Colonel Summers. The commanding officer, after a few words of cordial thanks to the people of San | Francisco for the glowing reception ac- | corded his fighters, introduced the Gov- ernor. “On account of the extreme unpleas- antness of the weather,” said the Gov- ernor, “I will not keep you here long.

I was sur-| prised to learn that it was the desire of the regiment to be mustered out in San Francisco, and I did all to secure the fulfillment of your wishes. I thank the people of California for all they have done for you, hut this reception would only be a shadow compared to that which Oregcn will give you if you re- turn as a regiment.

That the little fellow did not cease to exist when he presented himself at the American line on a certain morn- ing about four months ago, bearing a big flag of truce, instead of being received with open arms by the Oregon boys and installed their mascot, is due to a some- thing in his appearance that touched the soldlers and made them confident that ill usage by his own people drove him to seek shelter under their tents. While with the army at Manila, Manuel became a true friend of the soldiers. He | told them the significance of the enemy'’s bugle calls, which assisted them in asc faining the maneuverings of the native army.
