prove. A visit was made TO the county
Hospital yesterday by committee from
the army to obtain surgical 1mplen ents,
but they were told it was impossible tor
the hospital authorities to provide the
implements asked for.
In the afternoon the Oaklanders
marched through the principl streets to
the .'music'' OF a drum and bagpipes.
Naturally large crowds of people gathered
on the sidewalks to see them, and all
sorts of criticisms were heard, some
favorable and some otherwise.
II the middle of the column four men
carried a stretcher labeled donations"
and occasionally some one would throw
into it a piece of coin.
SQUABBLE ABOUT BREAD.
Shortly before dark last evening a
wagon containing 100 loaves of bread, six
sacks of potatoes and 200 pounds of meat
was driven into the enclosure. and be-
fore the provisions were unloaded there
came very near being row between
Colonel Smith and thr9e other members
OF the army.
The latter were endeavoring to steal
some of the bread, but were seen by
Smith, who compelled them to return it,
after which he gave them severe lee
ture and threatened to put them out II
they did not conduct themselves prop
eriy. One of the men doubted the Colo
nel's honesty in the handling of some OF
the funds. When it came TO paying the
expressman e for delivering the provisions,
there was not enough money on hand,
and the Colonel was required to take up
a collection from the bystanders to pay
for the drayage.
Colonel Smith, who is the surgeon OF
the army. and also commander of the
Third Regiment, said the 100 loaveS OF
bread received were donated, but the
potatoes and meat had to be purchased
from the funds on hand.
One of the most important questions
now being discussed by the officers of the
army is
THE SANITARY CONDITION
OF the grounds. No place has been pro-
vided for the disposition OF the refuse
now fast accommodating. and if the neces-
sary precautions are not taken sickness
will probably ensue.
AT THE FORT.
At Colonel Inman's camp at Sutter's
Fort last evening the men were being
reorganiZed into four companies, one OF
which contained but a few men COM
pared with it's membership before the
exodus yesterday morning. There are
still 2l5 men in the camp.
Colonel Inman said he was happier
now than he has been since coming to
this city, after having explained every
thing about his former history to Presi-
dent Lawton of the City Trustees and
Chief Drew, who had given him encour-
agement.
The officers of the Stockton and Sacra-
mento regiment last evening adopted an
address to Colonel Inman, i'll which they
assured him of their sympathy and OF
their fealty to him.
The entertainment to be given by some
of the men of the regiment will probably
take place in one of the halls on Thursday
evening next.
Colonel Inman and the other officers of
the command are chagrined over the ac-
tions of Captain Rush, commanding
Company G, who, they say, has been col
lecting provisions from various person
and disposing of the same to his own in
terest. Rush was summarily rush ed
from the regiment therefor.
