tie or no opportunity for instruction afer they sail for the Philippines, and have ac- tually called for more work when thelr officers thought they had enough. Their great ambition is to show Colonel Smith, when they join their regiment that they are more proficient in drill than many of the men who went out with him.
 Lieutenant Rumbough O. the Third Ar tillery will begin the mastering in of the new company of engineers this morning, and has selected the Page street. Armory for the purpose. The men will be quar- tered there until they are equipped ana ready to go into camp. Lieutenant Rum bough was engaged yesterday in making requisitions for his quartermaster stores and ordnance, which will be deliv- cred at the armory by tomorrow.
 There arrived yesterday 55S recruits for different commands at Camp Merritt, as follows: Two hundred and one for the First Colorado 260 for the Seventh Cali fornia, 42 for the Second Oregon, 20 for the signal corps, B electricians and tele- graph operators for the engineers and Il from Ohio for the Fourteenth United States Infantry. They came in detach- ments at different times and were enter tained in the usual hospitable manner by the Red Cross Society at the ferry depot. They started out to Camp Merritt with full stomachs and light hearts, and with repeated cheers for the ladies.

TWO GALLANT OFFICERS.
A Change May Be Made in the Command of the Regular
 Artillery Battalion.

Among the army officers that called at the headquarters of the Eighth Army Corps yesterday to pay their re- spects to the commanding officer, Ma jor General Merritt, was Major Will liam A. Kobbe, Third United States Artillery, from Fort Canby, Washing ton. It is said that the major will go to Manila next week as the com mander of the Third Artillery Battal- ion.
 Surprise was manifested in army cir cles yesterday when it was whispered that the gallant Major Hess, Third United States Artillery, now in com mand of the artillery camp at the Pre- sidio, had been ordered to appear be- fore retiring board. It had been ac- cepted as a fact up to last evening that Major Hess would go to the Orient with the artillery, and it is not abso- lutely certain yet that the assignment will be changed.

WILL co INTO CAMP
 ON TUESDAY NEXT
The Eighth R egiment of California Volunteers to Assemble
 by BattalionS.

Next Tuesday the companies desig- hated to form the Eighth Regiment, California Volunteers, will begin to rendezvous on the slope of the Pied mont hills, just out of Oakland. It was at first expected that the assem- bly would take place tomorrow or Sunday, but 1t has been found impos sible to finish the preliminary medical inspections of the men at their home stations before Monday, so the movement of the troops has been de- ferred until Tuesday.
 The entire command will not be or dered to move simultaneously, but four companies will be brought in at time and mustered in by battalions. The first to go into camp will be four com panies of the Fifth Infantry, B of San Jose, D of Santa Rosa, F of Oakland and c of Alameda. These constitute the First Battalion.
 The companies that will comprise the Second Battalion will be ordered to move Wednesday. They have not yet been selected, but will undoubtedly be the companies from San Rafael, Peta- luna, Woodland and Marysville, leav- . Bedding companies for the Fourth Bat talion, which will move to the rendez- vous next Thursday.
 Colonel Park Henshaw returned to Chico last evening, leaving the selec- tion of the camp ground to Lieutenant Colonel Darlington. That officer has been made familiar with the results of the inspection of the proposed sites by Colonel HenshaW, Captain Murray and Captain Baldwin, but, accompanied by Lieutenant Heller, the quartermaster will visit the various localities him. self to-day.
 Colonel Darlington has in mind de- lightful spot near Fruitvale, but he said yesterday that in view of the ex- cellent sanitary conditions of the Pierce tract on Piedmont avenue, and its proximity to the baths, he would, in all probability, fix the location there.
 All the baggage brought by the com panies will be unloaded at the Six teenth street station, Oakland, which is not more than two miles from the camp site.
 Colonel Darlington is most enthus- iastic over the new regiment. During his long service as inspector of the Ma tional Guard of California Colonel Car rington has become thoroughly famil- jar with every company in the State, and he says that no better maternal TOT ideal soldiers could be found anywhere than in the ranks of the picked com panies of the Eighth Regiment. This command, he says, would have one great advantage over the First, Sixth and Seventh, in that ample time will be given it to be thoroughly equipped, while the others were rushed into ac- tive service as soon as the men could be examined and mustered in.
 When the Eighth is turned over to General Otis it will be provided with evervthing essential to soldiers kit. and if necessary can march on board a transport from the Oakland rendez- vous. No regiment that has reported so far has gone into camp in as good condition as the Eighth will go.

COLONEL FAIRBANKS
 DID NOT RESIGN
Proud of the Fifth California Regi- ment and Glad to Be It's
 Leader.

PETALUMA, June 23-Colonel Fair banks was seen at his summer residence the Lakeville Club, eight miles below Petaluma, this evening by a Call reporter and when asked if he had resigned the colonelcy of the Fifth Infantry, N G. C., said:
 NO, sir; there is nothing in it. The tale is manufactured out of whole cloth. I have no intention of resigning at pres ent, and when I do I shall do so in the proper manner. Until my boys are called into active service I will go ahead and look to their welfare as I have in the past, for I have just the same regard for every man in the command as I have al- ways had and feel that all feel the same toward me. I shall see that they respond as soldiers and that they maintain the standard of the corps and the well-earned title of the Dandy Fifth, the best regi- ment in the National Guard, and until they are taken off my hands I will care for them as their colonel Nothing was further from my mind than resigning, and I shall stay with the Fifth
 The colonel complains bitterly of being misrepresented all around, and states that he had no consultation with any officer regarding the majorship of the new regi- ment He stated that he is not looking for any such honors, and broadly hinted that such an offer would not be to his taste Colonel Fairbanks is highly indig- nant at the rumor and Is at a loss to ac- count for it's origin.

READY TO BREAK CAMP.
Baggage, Ammunition and Supplies Going Aboard
 the TpanSpOptS.

Up to a late hour last night there were no orders issued from division headquarters by Major General Otis rela- tive to the day of departure of the next expedition or the assignment of troops to the transport Newport. There is hard ly any possibility of the troops getting aboard before Sunday. None of the off, cers at Camp Merritt seem to know the exact cause of the delay, but the general opinion is that it is attributable to some hitch in getting ready the vessels that are to transport the troops. Yesterday those forces that are to go upon the next ex- petition were busy hauling their camp baggage, ammunition and supplies to the Wharves to be loaded aboard the vessels, so that from this fact 1t would seem that the breaking of camp tomorrow may not

ORDER TO BREAK CAMP
 IS HOURLY EXPECTED

IMPORTANT messages by wire were
 exchanged between the War De-
 partment and the headquarters of A the Eighth Army Corps yesterday.
 The telegrams related to the prep arations for the sailing of the third ex- petition of the forces destined for the Philippine Islands.
 Major General Merritt's purpose to sail on the Newport had not been changed up to a late hour last night, but there was talk during the day at headquarters that he had a mind to select quarters for the voyage on the Indiana. It is acknowledged all around that the Newport is a faster boat than the Indiana and would be able to leave San Francisco two days after the main body of the expedition sailed and over take the fleet before it reached Homo lulu. What happened to cause the general commotion about the proposed change of ships is not known to out siders, but whatever it was induced General Merritt to make a personal in spection of both vessels during the forenoon and repeat the survey during the afternoon. When he got back to the Palace Hotel in the evening he was quite weary of ship seeing.
 Unless the plans officially announced are modified or revised to-day a fleet of five ships will sail from this habor for Manila via Honolulu next Monday. The extra room allowed by the engage ment of the Newport will be filled, as The Call stated yesterday, by batter ies of the Third United States Artil- lery and the Astor Light Battery.
 To-day Major General Merritt will issue his official order, assuming com mand of the newly created Eighth Army Corps. The order will designate the troops comprising the command and will also announce the name and rank respectively of the staff officers assigned to the corps.
 The present assignment of troops to compose the various brigades and di- visions of the corps is only temporary and will be revised when all the forces reach Manila. The troops remaining in San Francisco when the third expe- dition sails will surely constitute one division of the corps under the com mand of Major General Otis.
 Upon assuming the office of Cover nor General of the Philippines, admin istrative functions will engage the at tention of General Merritt and doubt less then he will assign the command of the corps to another officer.

THE MoNADNoCK SAILS
A Noisy Farewell to the Float ing Fortress and Her
 CnnSOrt

The coast defense steamer Monadnock and her consort, the collier Nero, sailed for Manila yesterday at p. m. The warship was the first to get under way, and as soon as she began to move to- ward the Golden Gate every steam whistle on the water front was let loose. The Nero was a little longer in getting away, owing to the delay in heaving up the anchor, which had become. foul.
 As the Monadnock passed the ferries the signal Remember the Maine,' was run up at the peak, and the steam whis- ties, which had quieted down for a mo- ment, broke out into redoubled whstling, while the crowds that thronged all the wharves along the front raised yell and hurled back the cry, Remember the Maine.''
 The Monadnock and Nero went out under easy steam. Neither of them will hurry to Honolulu, and the fleet that leaves next Monday will reach Honolulu almost as soon, if not sooner. than they From Hawaii the warship and her con

AMBITIOUS RECRUITS.
The Detachment for the First to Go Into Camp To-Day
 Fully EQuipped.

Colonel Darlington has finished his work of mastering the recruits for the First California Volunteers, and this morning they will march out of the Page street Armory for Camp Merritt, equipped in every detail. Colonel Darlington has taken great pains with this detachment, and every man is provided with the ne- cessary underwear, blankets, knapsacks, haversacks, canteen, mess kit and rifle, the colonel having drawn new ordnance to arm them all.
 His efforts have been most ably sec onded by the officers detailed from the Seventh California. who in three days time have taken these raw recruits and worked them into such shape that they march like veterans and are already quite proficient in the manual. The men are anxious to learn their duties, as they appreciate the fact that there will be lit

mand the presence of both majors. Under the law Major Hess will retire in 1900, but Major Kobbes retiring year is 1904. Each officer has a gallant re- cord of distinguished service in the War of the Rebellion.
 Major Hess participated in the great battles In which the Army of the Po- tomac was engaged and was brevetted for gallant and meritorious conduct in the battles of Gettysbury, Pennsylva- nia, and Kelly's Ford, Virginia. He was in the front at Malvern Hill, Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor, Petersburg and Appomattox.
 Major Kobbe was promoted for faith full and distinguished service through out the war. He won brevet for gallant conduct at the battle of Nash vile and was also brevetted for gal lantry in the storming and capture of Fort Blakely, Alabama.
