Of Young's guilt, as he was issued only five days rations at a time and these he was obliged to immediately issue to the companies of the regiment.
 Young, in his confession, dissipated their doubts by explaining that he has been issuing short weight rations and also by making requisition upon the commissary depot for more stores than he was rightfully entitled to-
 Young was first suspected of wrong doing on June 2, when the ladies of the Red Cross discovered that he was selling tobacco placed in his hands for free distribution among the troops. Since that date Colonel Funston and the brigade commissary have kept careful account of all of his business transactions, with the result that they have amassed evidence enough to con- vict him at his first hearing.
 Young's case will be heard by the court-martial now in session.

 Arrived at the dock, Colonel Slower
 found more work ahead of him than he
 had expected. At the last moment 14O
 tons of Government freight. consisting of
 white uniforms for the troops now at
 Manila, was unloaded at the dock, and had to be slowed away before the camp equipment could be loaded. Colonel Stover managed matters so that
 no confusion resulted, though the St. Paul went into the stream with pretty heavy deck load.
 The battalion mascot. a goat of canny propensities, was boxed up and sent aboard, labeled "carrier pigeons" That goat was the pride of Watertown, $. D..
 and had to go if the regiment did. The troops did not go on board the St. Paul until o'clock in the afternoon, owing to some work that had to be done in order to afford better ventilation in the forward hold. Meantime the boys re- mained on the wharf. At about o'clock they were all on board and the steamer then pulled out into the stream, being saluted by the usual chorus of steam whistles. The steamer Mcdowell will carry the mails and final instructions to the St. Paul at 9 o'clock this morning, and
 the transport will sail as soon thereafter as possible.
 She will be in command of Colonel T. H. Barber of the First New York Regf-
 ment as far as Honolulu and from that port to Manila she will be in charge of Lieutenant Colonel Lee Stover of the First South Dakota.

NOVEL MILITARY DRILL. To Be Performed by the Fifty First Iowa Regiment in
 Mech a picS' Pavilion

The drill of the Fifty-first Iowa Regi- ment announced for tomorrow evening promises to be one of the most novel and interesting entertainments that has been given in San Francisco for some time. The Iowa troops gave an exhibition in Mechanics Pavilion four weeks ago. and the success then attained by their com panies and band has induced the mem bers of Lincoln Post, Woman's Relief Corps, which is giving the entertainment tomorrow evening" to secure the appear ance of the same regiment
 As, a unique feature Colonel Loper has proximating sham battle as the size of the Pavilion will permit-an attack on a camp guard by a body of advancing troops. A company of men will march upon the Pavilion floor, erect tents and retire therein for the night. The guard on patrol will be attacked by a hostile force and a lively skirmsh will ensue.
 Following the drill will be a promenade concert and dance until midnight, the Iowa band furnishing the music

 The hospital corps men now have their mess tent and the Red Cross ladies are relieved from supplying them with food.
 There has been but little sickness at Camp Barrett, and according to Colonel Henshaw but one serious case. The regi- ment now needs but three men to com plete 1t. At present there are 1oLJ men.
 The big tent of the Army and Navy Christian Commission has been moved within the lines.
 Private Charles Evans of Nevada City, who was injured by diving into shallow water in the tidal canal is reported be- yond any hope of recovery. From his shoulders down he Is completely helpless. He is still conscious, however. and talks rationally at all times, apparently without any pain.
 The news that there will be no change in the location of camp has been met on all sides with extreme satisfaction.

THE SEVENTH

 TO GO NEXT Merriam Announces That the Regiment Is Chosen for
 Active Duty.
St. Paul. Carrying a South Dakota Battalion. Sails To-Day-Fifty-First Iowa to En-
 camp at the Presido.

" HE Seventh California will be
 the next regiment to embark
 for the Philippines. This time
 the regiment is slated for duty
 by Major General Merriam,
 commanding the Department of California. and there is no one in San Francisco with authority to set aside his military orders. The troops will probably embark on the Scandia or Arizona within the next ten days.
 The Fifty-frst Iowa Regiment ex- poets to leave Camp Merritt for the Presidfo to-day. General M. P. Miller last evening inquired of Colonel Loper If he were ready to move. The answer was in the affirmative and to-day the regiment will march to the reservation. The steamship St. Paul carrying the Third Battalion. First South Dakota Volunteers, together with Colorado and Minnesota recruits sails for Manila via Honolulu this morning. Counting the forces that sail to-day, The Call figures that 15850 men of the Eighth Army Corps have been dispatched to Major General Merritt To make good the complement of 10000 promised at the outset 4150 more troops should be for warded to the Philippines. Rumor has gained circulation that a very much larger force than was originally esti- mated will be sent to Manila.

PIE BITERS ABROAD.
and Use Pastry as Deadly WeapOnS.

William Weber, who conducts a bakery establishment and pie factory at 32 Sixth street, complains to The Call that his wagon, containing bread, cakes, pies and Etughnuts to the value of $60 or $70, was raided yesterday morning at Camp Mer- ritt by Colorado and Minnesota recruits. MT. Weber says that the soldiers ''de- molished the wagon all to pieces, knocked the stuffing out of his pies, and that he was himself roughly handled His little boy set up a great outcry, whereupon one of the soldiers smashed a pie on the youngsters hea(, almost frac- turing the skull. The mid occurred in the presence of one army otncer and two police officers.
 To-day the outraged baker will submit all the facts of the raid to Major Genera! Merriam, commanding the Department of California, being confident that the ger erals sense of justice Is so strong that he will make an example of the leaders of the raid. This irrepressible desire of the volunteers for pie proves conclusively that the ladies of the Red Cross Society knew what was wanted for the army when the campaign opened.

.wEINHOLD DEFEATED.
Niuht Attack on His Saloon Near Camp Merritt by Sol
 diers and Civilians.

Meinheer Weinhold, the originator and largest manufacturer of five-cent whisky at Camp Merritt, has pulled his tent pegs and gone no one knows whither.
 For a time he and his five-cent inno- walton fiourished and he suffered nothing but the i'll will of his neighboring com netitors but on Tuesday he added to his whisky sign an announcement that two sharp steams" could be had inside for a nlckel. This meant war to the faucet.
 At an early hour yesterday morning a couple of Weinhold's most energetic com netitors. augmented by dozen sympa- thetic and debtor soldiers, began opera opera tions on the front of Weinholds saloon. Bricks. bottles and what not burst in his windows and sprung his doors and Tn a very few moments the remains or the joint were so badly mutilated that iden- fification was an impossibility.
 Weinhold did his best to repel the as- sault. Armed with q couple of revolyers ol,9e 9eI he charged to the front and fired wildly through space a half dozen shots that had no more effect than to call out the Kansas guard. The only effect that the fusillade had upon the assaulting party was to call forth more bricks; the defeat- ed Weinhold retired to the rear

The Kansas Boys to Entertain.

The drill at Mechanics Pavilion next Thursday evening. the 4th of August, will without question be one of the most en- joyable yet given, as the Twentieth Kan sas Regiment and officers are making special preparation for the occasion, and there is quite an interest being manifested in the interior towns. It is expected there will be excursions from Sacramento, Stockton. San Jose and other cities. The Southern Pacific Company has signified it's intention of offering special rates. A band concert and living pyramid of flags will be among the interesting features of the evening. The good work being car ried forward by the Army and Navy Christian Commission merits liberal patronage. Over fifty ladies were engaged in sewing for the men last Tuesday, and will be at the various tents of the com mission again to-day for the same pur- pose. Receipts for work of the commits sion reported yesterday were: Further returns from the Tennessee Regiment drill. $41 05; First NJ. E. Church of San Diego, s10; First Presbyterian Church of Stockton, S11; St Johns M. E.. Church. Ventura S1 65.

ST. PAUL SAILS TO-DAY.
Third Battalion South Dakota Volunteers and Recruits March From Camp
 Merritt and Embark.

Another gap is left in the ranks of Camp Merritt. the fourth expedition is complete and again speculation is rife as to the personnel of the next It will. of course, be known to-day that the Sev- enth California is of the chosen. but there is room for more and now that the South Dakotas and Minnesota recruits are off, curiosity again wields her influence.
 The South Dakotas were first to get away from camp yesterday morning. Under the command of Lieutenant Colo nel Slower they arrived at the ships side at 10 o'clock. The Minnesota and Colo rado recruits, under Major Diggles, did not arrive until 2 o'clock.
 The Dakotas marched by way of Cali fornia street, Central avenue, Post, Mar ket and East streets Major Diggles' command got to the boat by the way of Point Lobos and Central avenues, Post street, Van Ness and Golden Gate ave-

A DESERVED PROMOTION
Lieutenant Colonel w. A. Bald win, Purchasing Agent, Goes
 Up Another Step.

The genial countenance of Lieutenant Colonel William A. Baldwin. commissary of subsistence, United States army, and purchasing commssary of subsistence at San Francisco, wore an usually happy smile yesterday. It was caused by tele- graphic notification of his promotion to the rank of colonel.
 |. Colonel Baldwin has been stationed in San Francisco for several years in his present capacity and has invariably per- formed his duties with marked ability This Is particularly true of his work dur ing the present war. Since the breaking out of hostilities he has made many large purchases, involving immense sums of money In all these transactions he has shown that he possesses business oualifi- cations far above the ordinary His pro- motion Is a deserved recognition of his ability.
 Colonel Baldwin, who was born in Penn sylvania, graduated from the Military Academy at West Point in 1877, and was assigned to duty as second lieutenant in the Seventh Cavalry, of which regiment he was the quartermaster from April g, 1880, to November l, 1881.

PHYSICAL DISABILITY.
Recruits That Should Not Have Been Accepted Will Be Mus
 tered Out of Service.

It has come to be notorious fact that many recruits that were mustered into the volunteer ranks of the troops now stationed at Camp Merritt were physical ly unfit for service at the time of their first examination. The hardships of camp life together with the heavy work of drilling have mercilessly shown up the weak ones, and during the past mGlth they have been dropped from the ranks by the dozen.
 It has been discovered that six of the cases reported are sufferers from chronic hip disease, others from consumption, rheumatism, heart disease and dozen other disqualifying maladies. The ac- ceptance of such men is considered little less than criminal by the regular army officers at camp. In order to eliminate from the ranks the physically undesir- able, the following order was Issued yes terday from General Millers headquar- terS:

THE PRESIDIO CAMP.
EveI ytling Ready on the Res erVatiOn to Accommodate
 the Fifty-First Iowa.


 The new camps at the Presidio for the troops from Camp Merritt have been pre- pared. The pipes that are to supply the water have been laid and the necessary sinks have been dug, and 1t is expected that the removal of the soldiers from the camp where they have been already too long to their new and better encamp- ment will begin to-day, when the Fifty first Iowa Regiment will move from Camp Merritt to the Presidio.
 The departure of Colonel Barber of the First New York Regiment leaves Lieuten- ant Colonel Stacpole in command. There seems to be no doubt that if Colonel Bar Der is made a brigadier general, Colonel Stacpole will succeed him in command of the regiment. Captain F. J. H. Rickon. Company l., Corps of Engineers, Is in command of the battalion in the absence of Major Langfitt, who has gone to Hono- lulu on the St. Paul.
 There were 229 new cases in the division field hospital yesterday. The following deaths occurred yesterday: Alfred C.; Beff, Company F, Fifty-first Iowa, died at l o'clock in the afternoon, of pneumo- nia and Private William Marske, Com pany G, Seventh California Regiment. died at 3:30 o'clock, of spinal meningitis. Both deaths occurred in the division nos pital. There were no deaths in the post hospital, and none of the soldiers confined there are considered In any danger.
 The Wyoming (Alger Light Battery has received its new guns, and the men are now doubly anxious to be given a chance to go to the front and show what they can do. The new battery consists of four 3.2-inch breech-loading rifles, known as the three decimal guns, with the necessary wagons and ammunition.
 John Dale, a private in Company H, First South Dakota Volunteers, died at the Marine Hospital yesterday. Dale was cleaning his rifle on July 10, when 1t ac- cidentaIly went off. the ball lodging in his right breast. Dr. Gassaway reported the case to the Coroner's office, but as the deceased had been under surgeon s care and died on a United States reserva- ton, the Coroner replied that 1t was out of his Jurisdiction.
 Privates Joseph H. Knapp, Company G, Moses Pritchard and Bert A. Metcalf, Company L, Fourteenth Infantry, now in the division field hospital at the Prestdio. have been assigned to temporary duty with the Third Battalion of the Eigh- teenth Infantry, and will accompany that battalion to Manila.
 Captain c. B. Thompson, quartermaster at the Presidio, has been ordered to in- voice to Major Francis Jones. depot quar- termaster at Manila. the following prop erty for shipment on the sailing ship to the Philippines: One hundred and twenty mules, go cavalry horses, 30 escort wag- ons and fourteen Red Cross ambulances. with all equipment and extra parts per taining thereto.
