Orders for the camp of the First Regi- ment of Infantry of the National Guard at Napa are out’ The regiment will leave this city next Saturday afternoon. During the encampment the annual skir- mish shoot will be held. George H. Forbes has been appointed first sergeant of Company H, vice Ritter. The follow- Ing privates of the regiment have been promoted: Private mchn:gnwnr, rms alis- Company H, to be sergeant, 90 per fdent; Private Ernest Grant, Company H, to corporal, 93 per cent; Pri- vate Roy Hawking, Company H, to be corporal, 80 per cent; Private Donald 'C. Mathewson, Company D, to be corporal, 85 per cent; Pri- vate Arthur Tedtsen, Company D, to be cor- poral, 90 per cent; Private Henry M. Joyner, Company D, to be corporal, 85 per cent; Private Henry D. Tuggy, Company G, to be corporal, 95 per cent; Private Eugene F. Duffy, Com- pany G, to be corporal, 87 per cent; Corporal Alfred Ames, Company G, to be sergeant, 95 per cent.

C., is disturbing the officers of the Guard, for they have figured that at the Jowest estimafe no officer can pro- cure what is required for less than $500. The wardrobe of an officer will be some- thing stupendous, so much so that many of the “National Guard officers are con- templating sending in their resignation. —_————— PHILADELPHIA, July 26.—The third an- nual encampmeént of the Spanish-American Veterans will be held in Annapolis on Septem- ber 22, 23 and 24.
