Scenes in Camp
SAN FRANCISCO. May A.-The cavalry
parade ground, where the troops have been
encamped at the Preside, presented very
deserted appearance today. The removal
of the Second Oregon regiment and five
companies of the Fourteenth leaves only
one company Of the latter infantry and the
Sixth battalion and Seventh regiment of
California volunteers. The latter COM
mand, along with Company G, Of the Four
tenth, may, in all probability, move over
to Camp Richmond tomorrow, and If such
should be the case only the Sixth battalion
will be left at the Preside.
Colonel Berry said today that he felt GER
tain from a talk he had with General Mer-
RAM, that the Seventh would be one of the
regiments to go on the next expedition to
Manila. This second body of troops that
are to be sent to the aid Of Admiral Dewey
will sail as soon as transports for them can
be secured.
Private Henry Pruett, Company E, Sew
enth regiment, who was removed to the post
hospital with pneumonia, is in a critical
condition, and his death is momentarlly
expected. 1t is known that General Mer-
Ram is in favor of sending volunteers to
Alaska, and 1t is not improbable that the
Sixth regiment, under Colonel johnson, may
be selected for that duty, as there is little
chance that 1t will be sent to Manila. In
fact, Colonl Johnson said today that his
chances Of going to the Philippines was
very slim at present.
TIL Red Cross still continues its patriotic
work of supplying the soldiers. Today they
sent shoes to the Sixth California, which
were most acceptable, as many of the men
were badly In need Of them. The Seventh
regiment Is gradually getting equipped. as
is the Sixth. Company B, Of the heavy ar
tillery, which will remain at the Preside, is
still quartered in the brick barracks. Major
Rice as yet does not know whether 1t Will
be ordered out into camp at Fort Point.
II 1t should be ordered there It will be under
tn command OF Colonel Miller.
Major Robe, Captain Matile and I.ieuten-
ant Hunt and LieutenaA.s Martiu, Field
and Kohn are the officers Of the Fourteenth
infantry who remain with Company G.
Company q has about so men In 1t at pres
ent. Major Robe is hopeful that two weeks
will prove sufficient time in which to re-
cruit the two skeleton companies. and X
which are at present in Alaska, and also to
recruit Companies L and M, the two new
companies to be added to the regiment.
