 the Washington Regulars.

| Supplies are already being purchased so the work of loading will be commenced as soon as the vessel is in the water again. There will be stores for the ves- sells of the Asiatic squadron and amnlu- milton to take the place of the powder and shell that did such good work in Manila harbor. The Navy Department is not do- ing anything about coal, however, and the supposition is that Dewey has all he wants. It is known that there was a large amount of coal stored at Manila, and this must now be in Dewey's hands, so the Government is not worrying about the coal supply in Asiatic waters
 So far no provision has been made to transport troops on the Peking. At the navy payoffice it Is given out that the navy is fitting her up a supply ship and is doing nothing for the accommoda- tion of troops on board. The transporta- tion of troops and the chartering of ves- selS for that purpose belongs to the army. and so all arrangements of that kind have been left to the army quartermasters
 Admiral Miller, who arrived here on the Peking on Monday night, has reported to the Navy Department. but had received no orders up to last evening.

CAMP OF THE
 VOLUNTEERS.
Men of the First and Sev- enth California Eager for
 Service at Manila.

The First anu Seventh regiments have now become thoroughly settled in the routine of camp life, and the men and officers are rapidly rounding into soldiers. The eron-commissioned officers were busily engaged yesterday in drilling the raw re- cruits of the different companies, and the companies were also put through com pany drill Guard mount took place at 7:45 o'clock yesterday morning, and the guard made an excellent appearance, while the playing of the band showed such noticeable improvement as to call forth unstinted praise from Colonel Smith and his staff.
 Colonel Smith and his field and staff officers were the guests of Captain Lock- ett yesterday morning at S:90 o'clock, and they rode to the golf grounds of the Pre- sidio where they witnessed a battalion drill of the Fourth Cavalry, under the command of Captain Lockett. The bat talion was put through all the field move ments that troops are called upon to ex- ecute in time of war. Scouts were thrown out and an imaginary enemy was charged. Colonel Smith and his officers were greatly pleased and instructed by the drill.
 From the way the new soldiers are working to get into shape, from the col onel down to the line, it can be easily seen that they are all anxious to get away to Manila. The men seem imbued with but one spirit, and it is that they may be prepared when the call comes for there is hardly any doubt that the First will be one of the volunteer regi- Tnents chosen by the Government to go to the support of Admiral Dewey If 1t goes. Colonel Smith declares that his command may be relied on to give a good account of itself and to do it's duty under all circumstances.
 The First and Seventh regiment camps were thronged with visitors yesterday, and especially was this true of the camp of the former. All of the families. friends and relatives of the men who are to go to Manila came out to see how near their sons, brothers and husbands had ap- preached the stage of veteranship. Idle curiosity was superseded by ardent ad- miration. and willing feminine ears lis

Light Canvas Clothing to Be Issued to the Men Comprising the Philip
 pine Expedition.

"HE concentration of troops at the
 Presidio is going forward with
 commendable promptness. The
 space on the reservation between
 the tents of the Fourteenth United States Infantry and the Seventh California Regiment of Volunteer In- fantry will soon be occupied by the First and Second battalions of Califor- mia Volunteers and regiments from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Montana. Three more companies of the Fourteenth Infantry, and perhaps several troops of the Fourth United States Cavalry, will arrive before many days.
 Major-GeneraI Merriam was at Van couVer Barracks yesterday, arranging for the equipment of Washington and Oregon volunteers. He will probably be in San Francisco before the end of the present week. Brigadier- General Anderson is said to be en route to this city. It is understood at the Presidio that he will take command of all the troops on the tented field of the reser- vation as soon as he arrives.
 The greatest activity prevails at de- partment headquarters of the United States army in this city. Captain Os- car F. Long, acting chief quartermas- ter of the department, was busy yes terday arranging the details for the loading of ships recently chartered by the Government for the proposed ex- petitions to Manila. Dispatches from Washington announce that the steam ships Australia, City of Picking and City of Sydney have been secured. It is understood that the Picking will be the first ship to sail and that her cargo will consist mainly of supplies and na- val stores for Admiral Dewey's fleet. The other two vessels will carry troops.
 The fact that the SecSetary of War has ordered quite number of volun- teer regiments to be concentrated at the Presidio is accepted by the troops as an assurance that the volunteers as well as the regulars will join the expe ditions to the Philippines.
 The volunteer troops of California now concentrated in San Francisco con- sfst of seven companies of infantry from the San Joaquin Valley and one company from Sacramento, comprising the First and Second battalions; the Seventh Regiment of Volunteer Infan try from Southern California;; the First Regiment of Volunteer Infantry from the city and four batteries of heavy artillery volunteers-one from Sacra- mento, one from Los Angeles and two from San Francisco.

 ,Lieutenant Neall, Fourth Artillery, United States army, who has been ap- pointed acting chief quartermaster of the volunteer regiments, was busy yes teruay look>lg after the needs of the two commands. He instructed Colonels Smith ana Berry to ascertain just exactly what they needed, so that they might be aDle 70 make the proper acquisitions upon his uepartment. Lieutenant Neall said that lHe troops were well supplied in the way or ratlons as far as was necessary to keep them In camp from day to day, but that they yet needed many supplies before they would be in shape to go to Manila lie remarked that it would take at least ten days to equip 10 900 troops. The am munltlon Is expected here in the near future. Some of the troops that will go to Manila with the volunteers have not yet been recruited. Upon conservative estlmate, 1t can be safely said that the regiments will not be in shape to leave before the 10th of this month.
 A. w. kimball has been commissioned by Governor Budd to be first lieutenant and regimental quartermaster Of the Sev- enth Regiment. He was mustered into the service by Captain Darlington yes terday afternoon and immediately took charge of his department. He formerly held the same office in the Fifth Reg1- ment.
 The adjutant-general of the Department of California is in receipt of the following dispatch:
 '
 May 10 1898.
 "Adjutant-G General, Department of Cali fornia: If troops go to Manila each man should have suit of brown canvas cloth ing and two white suits, medium light wooden underwear and barrack shoes. Canvas clothing as now issued for fatigue wear will answer. Take preparatory &C., ton. Merriam, Brigadier-General:
 In the Seventh Regiment 155 men failed to pass the physical examination and they will be sent back to their homes at the expense of the Government. In Com pany D all of the commissioned officers who came with the company from Los Angeles failed to pass the physical exam ination. They were Captain Thomas and Lieutenants Reynolds and Phillips. H. T. Matthews has been appointed captain, J. A. Eason and Samuel Crawford lieu tenants. All of these officers have seen service in the National Guard and have excellent records.
 Captain Farrell, one of the assistant surgeons of the First, relieved Captain Rethers yesterday. The two surgeons will be in command of the hospital corps upon alternate days while the regiment remains in camp. The camp inspection of the First was made yesterday by Cap tain Sutliffe and Captain Rethers.
 One hundred and eighty men were treated at the hospital of the volunteer command at the Presidio yesterday. There is one serious case of fever which the surgeons are watching closely.
 A committee of native daughters of California visited the volunteers at the Presidio yesterday and arranged to sup ply each soldier with housekeeper's kit

Alger Dislikes Mosby.

It has come to light that one of the reasons that Colonel Mosby has hard time to get recognition at Washington is that he made himself active by hanging Alger, who was a captain of Michigan Cavalry during the war According to a book called 'Mosby's Rangers a num- Der of Union soldiers were engaged in burning houses at Castlemans Ferry on August IA, 1864. They were under Alger. Mosby was sent after them and he killed which General Lee commended him. It is said that Alger has never been able to forgive the deed and that he has all ways done all he could to block Mosby in his ambitions

Very respectfully,
 A. W. BARRETT. Adjutant- General
 The Southern Pacific Company has re- ceived instructions from it's Eastern con- nections to make arrangements for the transportation of 1200 volunteer troops from Denver and 300 from Salt Lake, who will come by way of Ogden. It is also highly probable that many more will come from Boise, Idaho, Helena, Mont, and St. Paul, Minn., probably by way of Portland, though arrangements may yet be made to bring them via Ogden also. The number of volunteers is not definitely known. but 1t will no doubt amount alto gether to some 4000 men.

The trial OF I.uetgeT for the supposed
murder of his wife, has at last ended and
the curious may feel either sa tisiaction or
disa abstraction as to the justness OF he
verdict by the jury-lfe imprisonment.
This was the second trial of Luetgert
and The public mind as to his innocence
or guilty was about evenly divided, cir
cumstantial evidence being about the
only point the States attorney could
work upon.
Luetgert's attorney throughout his
defense was enough to disgust any jury
who had to spend over seventy days as
jurors. The public sentiment also get

trial. A new trial was called for but it
is doubtful il one will be granted.
