SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. H.-(By the As
ISOLATED Press.) Today at the Preside
Brigadier General Miller reviewed 1000
troops representing part Of the Philippine
army of invasion now enoamped In this
city.
Previous to the review the troops were
inspected by regiments and were then
marched upon the field. There were two
br,gades, the first In command Of Colonel
Berry, consisting of the Seventh California,
two battalions of the First Washington,
the Wyoming light artillery, two battalions
of California heavy artillery and battal-
ion of the Twenty-third United tSates in
fantry. The second brigade was command
ed by Colonel Smith and included the Ten
nessee regiment the Kansas regiment and
Fifty-first Iowa. Colonel Frederick Fun
ston of the Kansas regiment was desig-
mated as acting division commander.
The review consumed over an hour and
was entirely satisfactory to General Miller,
who extended his compliments to the brig
ade commanders and the men alike. The
demonstration was witnessed by numerous
army officers not directly concerned In the
ceremonies, who were loud in their praise
for the splendid manner In which the vol
unteer troops deported themselves and
their military appearance generally.
The authorities at Washington have or

Newberry's Reply

month being anxious 10 lay in camp and
suffer. The following correspondence be-
tween J. R. Newberry, acting president OF
the war board and Colonel Berry explains
itself. The telegram given below was sent
10 Colonel Berry last night:
Colonel ]. r. Berry, Your telegram of
the 3Oth was delivered to me eighteen
hours after you had delivered it to the
San Francisco press. l suppose this
was done to vindicate yourself. You
have seen fit to evade the plain questions
the board asked you, and as you seek
vindication at the hands of the press,
shall now give the press the plain tel
egram we sent you, and let families
and friends of the noble rank and file
Judge your own position.
LOS ANGELES. Cal, Aug. 80, 1898
Col. ]. r. Berry-Dear Sir: Disclaim-
Ing any knowledge of the causes of the
retention In camp OF the Seventh regi-

To Curtail Saloons

An executive session of the board Of po-
lice commissioners was held in the mayors
office last evening to consider contem-
plated sections affecting the department
which are to be recommended to the free
holders for insertion in the new city char
ter Practically the only business done,
in addition to the discussion Of recon-
mendations already made and published,
was the adoption of section for charter
provision limiting the number of saloons
in the city to not more than one for each
1000 population. The idea is that by reduc-
ing the number of saloons better class of
establishments would be conducted, doing
