the Ohio, Harry Wells of Company G of the Wyoming Volunteers, who was supposed to be sick in the hos pital at Camp Merritt, was dis covered on board, much to the surprise of every one, by the regimental surgeon. So determined to go to Manila was he that he had quietly got up out of bed and geon believed that his symptoms were those of diphtheria. The Grace Barton was immediately signaled, and few min utes later Wells was put on board of her, together with another sick man, and con- veyed to the Harbor Hospital.
 Three other Wyoming volunteers were left behind. One is W. H. Holden of tai, dying of tuberculosis, and the others are Arthur Parker of Company G, and Henry D. George, both of whom are in the brigade hospital.
 At a late hour last night a Wyoming battery of light artillery, composed of 125 men and commanded by Captain Gran vile M Palmer of Cheyenne, arrived at cisco at an early hour this morning. This battery, the only organization that has been exclusively recruited in Cheyenne, was accepted on the 18th, was mustered in on the 18th and started for San Fran cisco on the 18th. It will go into camp on the same ground that was occupied by the Wyoming volunteers, who sailed for Manila yesterday. This particular spot had been reserved for 1t.
 Governor Richards makes the state ment that 10 per cent of the population of Wyoming of military age is now in the army Wyoming has furnished three times the number of men required under her quota This is the best showing made by any State.

all the hilltops and all the water front were fringed with people who waited.
 The quiet air of expectancy which brooded over all was impressive and depressing. There was no hilarity, no gladstone shouting, no holiday appear ance. The whole scene bore funereaI appearance as if a people mourned, There are some silences that are in spring. The silence of the multitude waiting on the hills yesterday was op- pressive to such a degree that the sud- den unearthly shrieking Of whistles brought relief to strained and tense nerves.
 As the long black hull of a troopship slowly moved out past an obscuring point of land to the accompaniment of discordant steam voices the black lines on hills and wharVes swayed and pull sated as if moved by a common i'm pulse, and the watcher on the hill could see that the crowd was cheering madly. There was the silent demon stratiOn, but to hear the sound was i'm possible. Hats were waved and flashes of white showed where ,handkerchiefs aided in the visible farewell.
 AS troopship after troopship, black with its living freight, pushed out to- ward the open sea until four majestic vessels with as many thousand men stood clear against the western sky, there was a burning in the scar on the brow of the watcher on the hill, and again was that old itching sensation felt in the side where the enemys bull let had plOWed it's way. In memory'S eye was the scene of another day when men went forth to battle for their cOun- try, and the habit of wondering where" and why" in regard to the vessels that come and go was replaced by wondering when, and how in re- gard to the living battlement that had sprung up in defense of the country and the nations honor.
 When and how would they distin- guish themselves? When and how would they return? When and how would they die? For war is dying-War is suffering-and it was to die and to suffer that those thinking machines were going forth across the wide Paci- fic with the signal watchword, Re member the Maine,' flying at the masthead Nor was that Watchword one of revenge. It was the inspiration of a mass and in no sense the personal grievance of the individual. Those men grouped on deck to get the last glimpse of their native shores before meeting their country's foe had no personal feud. It was a collective body repre- senting the country and ready to take up cudges for humanity, with Re member the Maine" meaning naught more than Remember Spain's treach- cry to friends, brutality to foes and opposition to civilization"
 This was the sentiment that was inn

THE WATCHER
 ON THE HILL
The Departure of the Troop ships as Seen From
 Afar.
BY c. E. EDwoRDs.

Low lying strata of smoke and fog hung over Berkeley hills and obscured the upper bay as the watcher on the hill took his seat on the rock where he had spent so many hours in idle spec ulation over the mysteries of the ocean. The green waters of the bay took on an hundred evanescent hues from pink through the reds and greens and browns to deep purple as the lights and shadows were caught on the waves tossed up by the capful of wind which came through the Gate
 There came an unusual quiet on the water as if even ocean itself were waiting for the unusual to happen. What small craft there were seemed to scuttle to places of hiding, and when a heavy schooner came toiling past Alca- traz busy tug hurried out and quickly showed her to a mooring.
 Soon the streets lying below in the broad sunlight took on an air of bustle Midgets, that close inspection proved to be human beings, were moving toward the adjacent hills or down to the docks and wharves at the waters edge. Grad ually the points of vantage changed color from the sere brown of earth to the black of clustered humanity until

THE INFANTRY
 FOR THE FINISH
Regulars and Volunteers of General MaCArthur'S
 Brigade.
BY HUGH M. BURKE.

War may begin with engagements in which cruisers, battle-ships and land batteries exchange compliments in steel projectiles. Examples of in dividual heroism and the magnificent achievements of squadrons may chal- lenge the admiration of the world but a war once begun is seldom finished un- til the man who walks and fights goes to the front The soldier with mus ket in his hand must go over the line of rifle pits, drive in the skirmishers and ultimately scale the main works to win substantial victory and gain for the country enduring peace. The he roic figure in modern war, after all, is the man with a musket. In the thicket or in the open, without breastWorks of earth or armor of steel to shield him, he advances. The shells of his own protecting guns shriek over his head and the bullets of the enemy hiss in his face. Many fall, but so strong is the fiber of courage in the American soldier that few faIter.
 Men of this type compose the Amer fcan army destined for service in the Philippines, and many of them turned to salute patriotic San Francisco as the

 Major General Merritt has ample req son for his faith in the soldiers of the Eighth Army Corps. The volunteers from Minnesota, Wyoming, Idaho and North Dakota, as well as the regulars of the Third United States Artillery Eighteenth and Twenty-third Infantry and the Signal Corps will respond to every demand of the campaign within the limit of human endurance.
 In the under current of the great tide of enthusiasm yesterday one could ob- serve the strength of regimental and State pride The men of Battery L and the men of Battery G were equally proud of their respective organizations The Minnesota Volunteers welcomed cheering recognition of their Thirteenth Regiment. The young men who have served in the National Guard of Min nesota feel that they have, in a certain sense the honor of Minnesota in their keeping. It was noted that the voIun- teers of Wyoming and Idaho were anil

AS gallant men as ever lived or died fought under his leadership in the war from 1861-65. He will lead a command in the Philippines as full of dash, en- ergy and endurance as any that fol- lowed him in the war which ended for soldiers at Appomattox.
 General Arthur Macarthur Is a sol dier with a record of soldierly achieve ments and it is his judgment that no better troops have gone to the front than those which comprise the various organizations of his brigade. It is doubtful if the regulars are the su- periors in discipline of the volunteers in his command.
 The troops of the third expedition to Manila are armed and equipped in eff fectfve style. It is true that the volun- teers are not supplied with the modern magazine rife, but the improved breech- loading Springfield which they carry is not a gun for the enemy to despise. The regulars of the brigade carry the American Krag -Jorgensen rifle. The batteries of the Third Ar tillery have the three decimaP' breech- loading rifled pieces and rapid-fire Hotchkiss guns.
 These Western soldiers that sailed for the Orient yesterday are pretty handy fighters. Many of them have been trained to the use of the rifle and back of their readiness to fight is a good stock of intelligence on the prime question of taking care of themselves. The next column may offer to Iowa, Kansas and Montana Volunteers an op- portunlty to serve at the front

California. During the day the gen. eral plan of the camp was mapped out by Lieutenant Colonel Darlington and Quartermaster Heller. Wide streets will separate the companies, the grounds will be thoroughly drained and severed ard there will be an adequate water supply and convenient transpor- tation facilities. The headquarters of Colonel Hershaw and staff will be To- cated midway between the Haywards electric line and the Southern Pacific tracks, facing the depot at Sather, while the city of tents will stretch from that point northward. The eighty acre tract is admirably adapted for a camp and parade ground while the foothills on the Talcott ranch can be used for skirmish drill

WYOMING VOLUNTEERS.
Governor Richards Sails Out to Sea Fourteen Miles to Bid
 Them Farewell.

When the Wyoming Volunteers took their departure from Cheyenne for San Francisco, Governor Richards said to them, in the course of brief address: Boys, I'll not bid you a last farewell now, but I promise you that when you sail out of the Golden Gate for Manila I will be the last Wyoming man that youll see as you pass out into the broad ocean,"
 Yesterday Governor Richards, who has been in the city two weeks, went on board the Ohio in company with his brother-in- law, George c. Hunt, of Oakland, and went out to sea as far as the lightship, a distance of fourteen miles. bidding all the Wyoming volunteers a sincere farewell and a hearty godspeedI He returned on the first pilot-boat, and as the boat pulled away from the Ohio, Governor Richards was given round after round of cheers un- til he was out of hearing. He had kept his word to the letter.

Men who are soldiers because they reason, and who when wars wrinkled front is smoothed, lay down their arms and resume the peaceful pursuits put aside only long enough to teach lesson to a bully and remove an obstacle from the path of progress. They are mental as well as physical, and in their hands lie safe the cause of the nation and the cause of God.

Robiedo Denounces Autonomy Spain
Waiting for Another Licking

Madrid, May 5.-Public attention
centered again yesterday in the con-
gress 0ower hous, Of the cortes). There
was a repetition of the great crowds of
Tuesday, the police and civic guards,
besides the secret police, minglipg with
the people. The galleries of the house
were packed and many ladies were
present. Several prominent senators
occupied seats beside deputies on the
floor of the chamber. S'enor Reverter,
minister Of finance in the Canovas min
istry, and the hero of the eXcommunica-
tion incident Iast autumn, defended the
memory and policy of Senior Canovas.
Senor Canalejas. editor of FL Heraldo,
replying dwelt upon the weakness and
vacillation of the government of Can
ovas, which fostered Yankee boldness."
The principal speech was delivered by
Sencr Romero Y Robledp, former min
lister Of justice and leader of the Wey-
lerite party, who maintained that Amer
lea fostered the Cuban rebellion, and
meant war from the commencement"
Senor Moret's policy of autonomy he
characterized as farce and as abso-
lutely erroneous. AS for the Cubans,
he declared that they did not desire
autonomy; and as for the rebels. that
they never intended to accept it. The
present conflict" he continued, proves
the real intention Of the Yankees. Spain
must now face her international enc
my, and she should not waste a single
peseta to give the Cubans autonomy
which would be one step towards inde-
pendence. The war requires the energy
OF all classes to defend the king and the
fatherland."
London, May 5-The Madrid corre-
spondent Of The Daily Telegraph says:
Those who are best Informed as to the
governments view allege that II the
Spanish arms suffer another reverse
like that at Cavite the government
would informally request the great
powers to lerd their service to arrange
the best possible terms Of peace. Many
Liberals consider that Spain. having
| maintained her honor and justified her
chivalry. can now afford to yield to
superior force. but Il is doubtful
whether public opinion would approve
this line Of action
