THE HEAVY BATTERY
Roster About Completed and Expects
to Leave Soon

Captain Henry Steere has nearly con-
cluded his work. He expects to leave
either tonight or tomorrow morning, hav-
ing not yet been notified of the exact time.
OF the men he recruited 241 passed the
physical examination, which is more rigid
for service in A-heaX5s battery than in in
fantry-far more so-and the captain feels
highly elated at his superior judgment.
His quota of men has been cut down
from 200 to LAG, but he will perhaps take
along five or six extra men who are near
to the required height and otherwise all
right, to replace those who may be re-
jected in San Francisco upon more critical
examination than he has been able to make.
The captain issued the following circular
yesterday:
"Batterymen who successfully passed
their physical examination will report at
this office Friday morning, May 9Th, at
1o:3o o'clock for re-examination, and hold
themselves in readiness for instant de-
parture. HENRY STEERE,
Captain Recruiting Heavy Artillery"
He has ia men who are up to or above
the physical requirements, and forty-nine
more who are near to it and from whom
he can draw. All the men will be at the
armory this morning where they will be
inspected by surgeons and final selections
made.
