They were met at the depots by squads of the Sons of Veterans and escorted to hotels and lodgings. Nearly every State in the Union was represented in the delegates who arrived on the regular overland trains. THOUSANDS DUE TO-DAY.

General Stone and the committee of en- tertainment desires to impress the veter- ans, resident and visitors, that admission to the Mechanics’ Pavillon during Grand Army week, reception, concert, reunion and campfire, will be by card only, that neither badge (except the press badge) nor uniform will admit to any of these af- fairs. Captain William Simmons, historian of the National Association of Naval Vet- erans, and several comrades have arrived as the advance guard for the national as- sociation, which will be represented in this city during the encampment by about 100 members. The Duncombe Ambulance Company has volunteered all its ambulances free of charge to the Grand Army during en- campment week. One ambulance will be stationed day and night within a few steps of the headquarters, two ambu- lances will be assigned to accompany the parade and three additional ones will be held in readiness to respond to any call. le) | nior vice commander; Sons of Sires Who Preserved the Union to Perpetuate the Heroic Deeds of NE of the features of the forth- coming encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic will be the national encampment of the men who fought in the recent Spanish-Ameri- can war. The warriors who fought more than thirty years ago to preserve the Union look with kindly eyes upon the youthful heroes who went to the front in 1888 to defend the honor of the stars and stripes and avenge the death of the gallant sail- ors who perished in the sinking of the battleship Maine, Judging from the numbers of veterans of the Spanish war who are pouring into the eity and the interest exhibited in their coming national encampment, one of the principal features of the coming week will be the great consolidation of all organizations of the late war. This much desired amalgamation has been in- cessantly worked for during the past three years and the end is in sight. North, South, East and West have sent repre- sentatives, and the Spanish-American War Veterans of San Francisco have made extensive preparations to receive and entertain them in regulation soldier style. The parade of Tuesday, august 18, will be a revelation to many, as every man in San Francisco who has an honor- able discharge from the army or navy will once more fall in line and step to the sound of bugle and drum. Colonel James McClintock of Arizona and Colonel Owen Sumners of Oregon, both veterans of the Spanish war, are in the city representing their respective States, and every incoming train brings prominent men from all parts of the coun- try. The headquarters of the Spanish-Amer- ican War Veterans during the encamp- ment week will be the armory of the First Artillery, N. G. C., 8§15 Ellis street, and all veterans are cordlally invited to partake of their hospltality. A novel feature of next Tuesday’'s pa- rade will be furnished by Camp Richter No. Spanish-American War Veterans. |a .'rm corps has been organized which + | will be niformed in khaki, each mem- ber of which is a well drilléd_ex-soldier. ps will be armed with Springfields occasion and is expected to make e military display. ) nder of the camp, the mems bership of which is close to 500, will as- sist in dragging a prize piece of Spanish ht artillery which was captured by the First California Volunteers at Dumagati, a town on Negros Island, in the Philip- pines.

A telegram received here last evening stated that the delegates from Connecti- cut, numbering 144, who are due in this city early Sunday morning, have aban- doned the idea of supporting Governor Morgan C. Bulkeley, their department commander, for the position of command- er In chief of the Grand Army of the Re- public. When the representatives of the Nutmeg State started out on their pres- ent pilgrimage to the far West Governor Bulkeley was their only choice for the high position in the army of veterans, but en route to the coast he formally an- nounced that he was not a candidate for the place. It is understood that the dele- gates will support the candidacy of Gen- eral Black. Mrs. Bulkeley, who accompanies her husband on the trip, 1s a Californian, her father having been one of the ploneers and at one time a member of the Califor- nia Boundary Commission. The party in- cludes a number of distinguished mem- bers of the Grand Army, one of the most notable being N. Burton Rogers, a mem- ber of the noted“Danbury firm of cutlers. He broke into the war as a drummer boy during the last years of the rebellion, and for a number of years he was known as the youngest department commander seen at the encampments held in the New England States.

Several delegates from Colorado who arrived yesterday in advance of the maln body of old soldiers from that State have already started a boom for Denver, which will try to secure the next encampment. While it 1s generally acknowledged that there is little likelinood of the next en- campment being held in the West owing to the long distance that the majority of the veterans would have to travel, the people of the Colorado metropolis have decided tp make a try for it. In discuss- ing the matter last evening one of the del- egates said: The Chamber of Commerce of Denver met last Monday evening and there were present Governor Peabody and other representative men of the State, who declded that Colorado should Issue a formal invitation to the mem- bers of the Grand Army of the Republic: to hold an encampment in Denver next year. As- surances were received from various commer- cial bodies of the State of support to the movement and the delegation now on the way from Denver is fully prepared to carry out the plan for securing recognition if it is possible. —————— MORE FUNDS ARE NEEDED. Executive Committee Urges Citizens to Subscribe. Although subscriptions are coming in daily to the headquarters of the executive committee’ of the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, more money is needed to properly carry out the plans of entertaining the Civil War veterans. The executive committee trusts that the citizens of San Francisco will patriotically subscribe the $7000 still needed, which will enable the plans of the committee to be accomplished. Up to last evening the list of lubccrlp- tions was as follows: Amount heretofore reported, $24,271 75; San Francisco Planing Mill Owners' A.od. Frees, ; Captain Pabst, Milwaukee, $100; W. M.

The citizens of Berkeley responded nobly to the appeal of the Alameda County day for financial help in defray- ing the expense of entertaining the vet- erans of the Grand Army on August 21 H. B. Griffith of the Berkeley commit- tee reported that $405 had been subscribed by the citizens of that city since the sub- scription lists had been in circulation. H. D. Rowe, Emil Lehnhardt and I D.

Mayor Schmitz and the committee com- posed of Messrs. Schupert, Kent" and Keogh, appointed by the Musicians’ Mu- tual Protective Union, will call upon the executlve committee of the Grand Army of the Republic this afternoon and try and bring about a settlement of the strike declared by the local musicians. The Mayor is of the opinion that if the executive committee engaged bands to play in the parade at a less rate than is charged by civilian musicians they have erred. He claims that the Secretary of War has time and again issued orders that army bands must not compete with bands In the community. General Stone, chairman of the ex- ecutive committee of the encampment, stated yesterday that the musiclans had asked $9 for each man and $12 for all leaders who would take part in the pa- rades and entertainments. The Musicians’ Union had been requested some time ago to modify its tariff of rates, as the ex- ecutive committee did not have funds enough to pay the rates asked by the union musiclans. The union, after con- sidering the request of the executive com- mittee, decided not to reduce its rates. Loyal Legion to Entertain. The California Commandery of the Loyal Legion will take an active part in the forthcoming encampment of the Grand Army. The following general order was {ssued yesterday: During the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic—Monday, August 17, to Sat- urday, August 22—the headquarters of this commandery will be at the Occldental Hotel, in rooms 32 and 33, parlor floor.

E. Smith, the retired army officer who com- mitted suicide in Los Angeles, was the husband of Mrs. Blanche Hubbell Smith of Houghton, Mich., but who had re- cently claimed Detroit as her home. She intended to get a divorce in the latter city in a few days and then come to Milwaukee to reside. Mrs. Smith three years ago was mar- ried to Captain Smith, who retired from the army soon after on account of some trouble, it is said. She had just inher- ited about half a million dollars by the| death of her father and mother and after | traveling about the country for a time went to New ‘York. Smith was taken ill and auarreled with his wife. She paid | for his traveling expenses about the coun- try, and it is said had spent over $100,000 on him. Recently she took a flier in ‘Wall street stocks, and last week caused the arrest of her brother in New York on a charge of fleecing her out of $53,000. Joseph Cowan, her broker, denied the charge, but made a settlement with her. Mrs. Smith cut off her husbamd's al- lowance lately. He frequently wrote her letters threatening to kill himself, but no attention was paid to the threats. She is now in Atlantic City.
