delving into some of the ancient his
tory of New Mexico and has found
that IL is no new thing for the Rio
Grande to 60 dry in the summer time.
In 1871 Don Tristan de Arellano, an
eminent Spanish explorer followed the
river starting near where Bernalliln
now is situated, after travelling eighty
leagues he found that the water sank
into the earth. The governor esti-
mates that the eighty leagues, follow
ing the windings Of the river would
have taken the Spanish explorer to
about the neighb0rhood OF san An.
tonic. AS there were no irrigation
bitches in Colorado in those days i.
may be inferred that the drying u2 %
the river Is not entirely owing tothrse
adjuncts Of modern civilization, but Is
an old habit of this most peculiar
river and we all know that old habits

 San Francisco. Cal, May [, 1SSS.
 An encampment will be established at the Presidio of San Francisco tor me Fourteenth United States Infantry and the volunteer forces of the States or Call fornia, Oregon and Washington.
 The California volunteers will be sent to the camp by regiments and batteries mustered into the. service of the United States, and the other troops immediately upon their arrival in San Francisco- First Lieutenant John M. Neill, Fourth Cavalry, will be charged with the selec- ton of sites for the encampment, keeping in view, first, facilities for water supply, and second, economy of space. The first site selected will be bounded as follows: Commencing at the intersection of the north line of Lombard str eet with the line of the easterly boundary fence of the reservation, thence south SPA degrees west 300 feet thence north, parallel to eastern boundary fence, 400 feet. thence north s294 degrees east 300 feet to the east erly boundary fence of the reservation, thence south "A degrees east along said fence 400 feet to point of commencement. This includes the gatekeeper's house and premises.
 Arrangements have been made with the Spring Valley Water Company for piping that place Additional sites will extend westerly, keeping drill ground intact as long as possible. By command of Briga-

 Governor Budd, as conmander-in- chief of the military and naval forces of the State, has gained ready recog- milton from Major General Merriam and other officers of distinction for the display of executive ability in the or ganization and movement of troops. It will gratify the taxpayers of California to learn that the vast work of calling the volunteers into service will not cost
 
 an interview yesterday the Governor remarked: "The United States Govern ment pays the expense of bringing the Seventh Regiment from Los Angeles to this city. The Government also pays for the clothing and equipment of the
The San Francisco call., 1898-05-08

Barracks last evening, and are now on the rail speeding toward this city. The regulars will arrive early tomorrow morning, if the schedule is maintained, and will probably go into the brick barracks of the Presidio recently va cated by the First United States h. fantry.
 It is believed that General Merriam has received orders from the major gen eral commanding the armies of the United States to direct four troops of the Fourth United States Cavalry sta toned in the Department of the Colum- bia to proceed at once to join the squadron of the Fourth now stationed at the PresidiO.
 Orders may soon issue for the Eff teenth United States Infantry, now stationed in New Mexico, to report at once to General Merriam at the Pre- sidio. It is known that General Mer- riam has received instructions from Washington to mobilize the volunteer regiments of Oregon, Washington and Idaho at San Francisco. The purpose of this military activity ls not con- cealed. Plans have been formed for m expedition to the Philippine Islands to enable Admiral Dewey 10 preserve the fruits of his brilliant victory over the naughty and boastful Spanish.
 According to the most trustworthy advfces received at army headquarters and the Presidio, the first column for Manila will consist of troops from the Third Artillery Fourth Cavalry and Fourteenth Infantry. The second ex- petition will doubtless consist of volun- teers.
 Rv direction of General Merriam, Colonel Miller, Third Artillery, com manding the defenses of San Fran cisco harbor, will receive at once the four batteries of heavy artillery volun- teers recently enlisted under the call of the President for troops from Cali fornia. The new artillerymen will be instructed In the duty and science of

message came the order was conveyed to Surgeon General Hopkins to organ
 ize the corps as directed
 The two battalions of infantry in ad- dition to the two regiments under the Presidents call will be ready for mus ter1ng Tn to-morroW. Each battalion Is to consist of four companies, making eight companies. The Governor for good and substantial reasons of record has taken seven of the companies from the Sixth Infantry Regiment of the San Joaquin Valley. The eighth organiza- ton is Company E of the Second Infan- try, Sacramento. The troops now in rendezvous at Stockton will arrive here tomorrow and immediately go into camp on the Presidio reservation.
 It is source of disappointment to many of the young mem of San Jose. Oakland, Alameda Petaluma, Santa Rosa and San Rafael that the excel lent Fifth Regiment was not called into the volunteer service, but the truth is that several companies of the Fifth were not up to the numerical standard.
 AS usual, the busy men at National Guard headquarters yesterday were Governor James H. Budd, General A. w. Barrett and Colonel Fred Burgin. There was no cessation of the routine business which they have daily been called upon to transact since the re- celpt or the Presidents proclamation calling for volunteers from this State. There was, however, a break in the smooth running of affairs at about half-past o'clock in the afternoon, when a message was received inform ing the Governor that no provision had been made for feeding the members of the Seventh Volunteer Infantry of Los The information greatly per turbed the Governor and he at once o6 rt1l- all necessary supplies for the men, telling Colonel Burgin to "give the boys the best in the land" These in were immediately carried out, and. notwithstanding the short time intervening, by o'clock the com

 First Lieutenant James E. Nolan Fourth Cavalry, post commissary off, cer, found volunteer commissary officers intelligent and prompt. Lieutenant Nolan will have 100000 rations to-day and also full supply of fresh beef.
 Following is the official order of Gen eral Merriam for the mobilization of the Fourteenth United States Infantry and the volunteers of California, Washing ton and Oregon:

Volunteers. The expenses of telegraph ic and telephonic service, clerical hire and many other items incident to ser vice at headquarters are defrayed by the Government. Even the expense of returning to the point of enlistment the men who fail to pass the medical exam inatfon is borne by the United States. State expenses will not exceed s3000.
 Commenting on this, the Governor said: This is proper, because Califor- mia meets her share of the general bur dens imposed for conducting the war. The State pays her proportion of taxes for the maintenance of the General Government. In the reorganization of the National Guard to replace the men withdrawn from it for service as volun-

 The officers of the United States army stationed at the PresidiO speak in the highest terms of praise concerning the California regiments of volunteers now encamped on the reservation. The fine athletic figures and soldierly bearing of the troops from Southern California eIicited much admiring comment.

 The good points in the organization of the National Guard were illustrated yesterday when Governor Budd re- ceived a message by wire from Surgeon General Sternberg, U. S. A, relative to the formation of a volunteer hospital corps. Within five minutes after the
