a Francisco, May 4.-The work of
mastering the California troops int the
volunteer army was begun to-day. n
there was some exciting scenes at the
national guard armory on Page street.
Every man was enthusiastic. Nobody
seemed to care whether he was to be
sent to Cuba or the Philippines. II Is
actual service they all want, and from
present Indications they will soon have
their wishes gratified. Everything
seems to point to an immediate trip to
Manila.
The order for the national guardsmen
to report at the regimental armory was
issued by Governor Budd through Ad-
jutant General w. w. Barrett last even
ing. The order included only the officers
and men I'm the LIST regiment, the inten-
Tor being to order the remainder of
the guard out this afternoon. The 7th
regiment, with headquarters at Los An
geles, Is now assembling there. and will
be ordered to the rendezvous in this
city as loon as the LIST regiment has
beer mustered in. 1t will take three
or four days to muster the full regi-
ment in. The governor has appointed
the full regimental staff to command
the troops of the LIST infantry. which
will be officially designated as the LIST
regiment of California. United States
volunteer Infantry. The 9Th regiment
will be known as the second California
volunteers.

Gals say that the small number of reg
ular soldiers available are ready to

largely from the volunteer forces that
could be concentrated at San Francis

mountains and such regular troops
as might be available. as several COM

of this regiment being in Alaska; the

4th cavalry, some of which are at Van
couver and others in California, and the
Sd artillery. also located on the coast.
1t is believed. however, that the officials
would be disinclined to part with the
artillery, as IL may be needed for the
defense of the Pacific coast, and they
do not think it at all likely that cav
airy would be sent, because of the great
expense entailed in the shipment of
horses and the lack Of transportation
facilities.
