Patriotic Windows.

p c. and R. B. Hale, who constitute tho firm of Hale Bros, have shown tnelr no+r,otism in a decided way. One of tho entire front show windows has been given over to a patriotic display in the form of "California" gayly dressed, sur rounded by the national colors prettlly draped. The figure representing tne Golden State Is seen standing on rock covered with war-like trappings with a massive silver belt thrown loosely around her waist At her feet is banner, on which the word "One Flag, One Country is inscribed and on shield are the words of the poem, 'As the Flag Goes By"
 The patriotic and martial spirit with which the merchants of this city are imbued is being given practical eXpres- sion in the elaborate decoration or thelr places of business with flags or the na- tion.
 One of the most noticeable, and at the same time most appropriate, is that of Raphaels clothing establishment on Kearny street, the small window CT which represents patriotic object les son for children, and contains an immense shield with Webster's famous quotation, Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable." There are also fig ures of cnndren holding miniature flags. In the large win.ow stands life-like figure of Uncle Sam" on whose face has been made to appear smile Of pride as he looks upon the two flags between which the figure stands. the one a hand somely made American flag, the other the lone star flag of the Cuban insurgents. The entire front of the building is also profusely decorated while an immense flag floats from staff at the apex of the building.

 WOMEN TN WAR.
A Place for Them Under
 the Red Cross Flag.

Yesterday was ladies' day in sanitary commission affairs. San Francisco wo- men have discovered that there is a place for them in the economy, or ex- traVagance, of war. And that discovery has gone far toward reconciling these unconverted members of the great peace party.
 T don't believe there should be a war. 1 hoped there wouldn't be any. No one-nothing could make me believe that it was coming. Yes, one thing could, and it did. When I saw those poor fellows yesterday with their stern. serious faces, when I realized that the five hundred might never come back. I cried-yes, cried like bab--. It's a ter rible thing and the only way to cure ones heartache is to do what David told Christie in Louise Alcott's Work. Remember?
 Don't mourn, dear heart he saiG, but workn"
 It was school girl who said this yesterday. She had tiny flag on which was printed Remember the Maine" pinned on the lapel of her jacket. She still wore the colors upon her breast to do honor to the men from the Presidio, and her sailor hat, set back on her wind-tossed blonde hair, had a red white and blue band around 1t.
 This little girl has sounded the key note. She has expressed in word what Is the feeling of every woman In

MONTEREY REMAINS.
League of the Cross Ca dets Ready - First In-
 fantry Demonstration.

The Chamber of Commerce received a dispatch yesterday from the Secretary of the Navy in response to a dispatch sent Senator Perkins asking that the Monterey be left at this port for protection. The Secretary said that the Monterey should remain here while the Monadnock was or. dered to Puget Sound.
 This information was hailed with delight by the merchants of San Francisco. In addition to this order from the Secretary of the Navy, it was stated in the dispatch that other vessels had been purchased by the Government for the protection of San Francisco.

Quarantine Muddle Liable to
Troublous Times on Board the Tramp Steamer Anarapoora Now
 at Hakodate.

There was big crowd of people down to see the steamer Alameda away for Australasian ports yesterday. Considerable good-natured badinage was passed be- tween the passengers on the steamer and their friends on the wharf, and the ex- pression, Look out that Spanish priva- teer doesn't get you," was frequently heard. The Alameda took away very valuable cargo and the following cabin passengers:
 For Honolulu-Mrs. c. H. Bishop. J: O. Car Grace Dickey Miss Milicent Fell. Miss M. Gibbon, Miss K. Gibbon, Miss Alice F Her W. Howard. A. ". Keech. Mrs 2. K. Myers, ". D. Oliver and wife. C. du Roi. pr: " l: deTGy ana MTs wiff wallace '0 s W W Wilcox

 The unfortunate British tramp steamer Amarapoora seems doomed to spend her last days in Japanese waters. Ever since she came to Pacific waters the captain and crew have been in hot water, and the steamer has been alternately in the hands of the United States Marshal and on the drydock for repairs. She left Puget Sound last OctODer Wlln a lOdQ Ol lOl China, but on November 20 put into Hako- date in distress. On January 19 she was overhauled, but the surveyors refused to give her a certificate, and ever since the engineers crew has been trying to patch up the boilers so as to make her pass muster By last steamer from Yokohama comes the news that there was almost riot in the engine-room. Squire Shires and John Nesbit, two boiler-makers, dis obeyed Captain Cameron's orders. and furthermore assaulted Second Engineer J. w. Karston. The chief engineer also was in the trouble, but as he was too was called the outcome of the fracaS will not be known until the Rio de Janeiro arrives.
 The steamer Venus is still in quarantine and is liable to remain there until Cap tain McGregor and his men submit to being fumigated. Two tugs were sent over to bring the vessel to the dock, but Dr. RoSenau would not release the vessel. It would now appear as though the quaran- tine muddle was about to become an in- ternational question. Captain McGregor passed his vessel and admitted her to pratique. Then along comes the Federal officer and places her in quarantine. Cap tain McGregor refuses to submit to funi- gation and has appealed to the British Consul, and there the matter rests. In the meantime the Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company and the consignees of the vessel are making the stubborn shippers life miserable wi.h petitions asking him to give in and take the neces- sary bath.
 Captain Dan Haskell started for Un- alaska on the steamer Bertha yesterday.

A WIDE FIELD
 FOR HUMANITY.

There cannot be a greater (
 field for the person of hu- (
 mane instincts than that of (
 fered by the Red Cross So- (
 ciety, which is organized in {
 the principal countries of the
 world. I am glad to see the z
 movement under way here. z
 Hide the fact as we may, z
 modern warfare is a terrible z
 thing, and the best military /
 arrangements are not ade- z quate to properly minister to (
 the wants of the wounded z and sick on the field of bat ( tie. It is a glorious thought ( that the spirit of humanity ( and Christian charity per ( meates the field where the (
 cruelties of war reign with ( unabated fury. Wherever the red cross is seen on a flag of white the hearts of soldiers will beat in gratitude for the : angels of mercy that hover : near. It is a beautiful thought : that all the places touched by . those ministering to the wants of the wounded and 7 dying are hallowed ground. z Their stores and supplies are / sacred under the terms of the z Geneva treaty, and it is hu- z mane sentiment that makes z these concessions on behalf { of the wounded and dying. { I know of no more worthy ( , and patriotic field for those , who desire to aid than to fol- ( low the example of the Red Cross Society. To Miss Clara Barton is due the noble work of inducing this Government to sign the Geneva treaty. Her sisters in California can not do a nobler service than extend all possible aid to that movement, which recognizes
 the rights of the helpless {
 even amid the terrors of war, {
 and makes generous conces-
 sions to those who go forth to ,
 aid the wounded, under what { ever flag they fall.-William S. Barnes, District Attorney.

General Nelson A. Miles has selected Colonel Charles R. Greenleaf. assistant surgeon general, United States army, who has had charge of the medical supply depot in San Francisco for the past four years, as a member of his staff. The colonel has many friends in this city and in Berkeley, where he re- sides, who will be sorry to learn of his hasty departure from the Pacific Coast. Colonel Greenleaf Is a native of Pennsylvania, and entered the volun- teer service April A, 1861, as an assist ant surgeon in the Fifth Ohio Infantry, and was transferred to the regular army August 5, 1861.

For faithful and meritorious services dur ing the civil war he was breveted cap- tain and major, March 13. 1865. Colonel Greenleaf will leave for Washington in a few days.

 ORDERS TO TROOPS.

The destination of the First Infantry has been changed from New Orleans to Chattanooga. General Shafter has been notified of the change and on the ar rival of the Presidio troops early next Sunday morning in New Orleans they will continue their journey to Chatta- nooga, via the Queen and Crescent route, a distance of 492 miles from the ride in the cars.
 Not only has the destination of the First been changed, but telegraphic or ders were issued from the War Depart ment yesterday afternoon to the com- manding officers of the infantry and cavalry regiments now en route to New Orleans, Mobile and Tampa, to proceed to Chattanooga for the purpose of con- centrating all the United States troops at ChiCkamauga Park.
 The significance attached to this sud- den departure from original plans seems to be the concentration of the regular army at point from which, in a few hours, it can embark on trans ports for Cuba New Orleans, Mobile and Tampa will likely be garrisoned by volunteers and militia.
 From an officer on General Shafter's S staff it was learned that on the gen.
 
 proceed at once to Washington, accom- panied by one aid, to confer with Major General Miles.
 General Merriam, U. s. A, command ing the Departments of California and the Columbia, was seen at the Occi- dental Hotel last evening.
