Especial TO The Herald.)

San Francisco, May 2S.-There is a
difference of opinion between the Off
GERS and some of the privates OF the
light batteries from Utah, stationed at
the Bay District track. AT headquar-
tiers they deny that the food given the
men is deficient, either in quality or
quantity.
"Of course, there are kickers in
camp" said one officer. "If we were
CHARTERED at the Palace hotel some
body would grumble at the grub. We
get the regular army rations, and every
man ought to be satisfied. The fare is
not as varied as the fare to which the
not expect different. We have a bat
terry fund, out of which to buy what
extras we need"
The men say. however, that they have
had no fresh beef since they pitched
camp. All the surrounding regiments
get fresh beef every day, but the Utah
men are limited to bacon. AS the piece
de resistance of three meals per day,
bacon is not a general favorite and I'M
qualified success. The battery is given
regular field rations," among which
fresh meat is not officially recognized.
MoNTANAs REGIMENT.
TOuG IHOEe lOdUS VI lTOOpS
reached this city this morning, and
arrived at the Bay District encampment
at O'Clock this afternoon, pitching
their tents in square al the southwest
corner of the track. The regiment is
officially designated as First regiment

and is commanded by Colonel II. c.
Kessler, r. Bruce Wallace being the
lieutenant colonel.
General Mt9f.f.ia in consultation
with the commanders of the volunteer
organizations this afternoon to learn
which ones were sufficiently well
equipped to take part in the celebra-
ton on Monday.
The Utah cavalry took a ride through
the park this morning to the Cliff
House. 1t was their first ride, and
they expressed themselves as delighted
with the park.
UTAH MEN TO GO.
Lieutenant S Laden, aid to General
Otis, claims that nothing has yet been
decided as 10 the troops for the next
expedition. and that every organiza-
ton which says it is going is only voic-
ing its hopes. Notwithstanding this
statement. it is persistently claimed
that the Seventh California, First Colo
RADIO. the light batteries from Utah and
the first troop of cavalry from the same
state VIII be among the favored COM
mands.
Evidently the commanders of the
various troops in camp have had their
attention called to The Herald's story
about the ridiculous way the sunrise
and sunset flags were handled. This
morning number of officers called
upon Captain Young of the Utah light
battery and arranged to regulate their
flags with the firing of his 5;unrise and
sunset gun.
A rumor was current this morning
that one of the Minnesota men had
been poisoned. He had tainted at guard
mount, and the surgeon said it was
through something he had eaten. The
men circulated a story that Spanish
spies had prepared sandwiches with
opium and passed them in to the boys
The officers were kept busy all morn
ing denying it to anxious and patriotic
citizens.

the states for the first call. though
nominaIly based on proportionate pop
ulation, was really very flexible. Owing
to the great enthusiasm in the noun
tain states and the superior persist
ency of their senators and representa-
tives, all of them largely exceeded their
proportionate quota in the number of
troops called into service. This, too,
is independent of the rough riders. the
enlistment of which greatly increases
the relative contribution of each OF
these states to the war. Wyoming has
furnished the greatest proportlonate

AT CAMP RICHMOND.
Utah Boys View the Sights, But They
Are Homesick.
Especial Correspondence.)

Camp Richmond, San Francisco,
Cal, May 25.-It is an exceptional war
correspondent who can describe no
fiercer bombardment than that of thou
sands OF oranges, which are daily
thrown into camp by Red Cross society
ladies. AS this is being written a large
lot of Utah boys are loudly cheering for
some of the Red Cross members who
are distributing doughnuts, sandwiches
and flowers among them. Across the
field the air is filed with oranges,
hurled into the crowd from loaded ex-
press wagons.
The kindness OF these ladies is the
most appreciated feature of camp life.
It has worked wonders in relieving the
natural tendency to inconsistencies
which affects the boys
Despite the efforts of the ladies,
Utah's soldiers boys do feel homesick.

other complaints large and small, which.
according to the medical board, disquali-
fed them from fighting for their country.
Officers and men Of the Los Angeles regi-
ment vowed that the examination was
wickedly rigid. They brought forth as an
example Of injustice a national guards
man who had served in his regiment fif-
teen years, with an eighth of an inch gone
off one finger, and proposed to send their
rejected men to appear in a body before
Maj. Mccarthy, chief of the sanitary

Infantry Officers
SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.-(By Asso-
ciated Press) All of the captains of the
seven companies of the Sixth infantry and
the captain of Company g Of the Second
infantry will be appointed by Governor
Budd as captains in the first two battalions
as soon as they have passed the requisite
examination.
Col. w. r. Johnson of the Sixth infantry
has been appointed to the command of the
two battalions. Augustus G. Grant and
W. H. Whitmore have been appointed ma
jors in the same command. There will be
two vacancies to fill, as First Lieutenant
H. A. Blodgett and Second Lieutenant f.
A. Munser Of Company G Of Bakersfield
are unable to leave with the men.
1t was the intention Of the governor to
send the Sixth infantry intact, and he re-
grets that there were any misunderstand-
ing on the part Of Company F Of Fresno,
who offered their services conditionally,
the provisions Of which he was unable to
accept, and which he was powerless to
carry out. He was therefore compelled
to select company from some other regi-
ment to fill the quota called for to make up
the first battalion.

command the invading army, completed
his final arrangements to start for Tampa,
where he will assume control of the force
concentrated there and at Mobile and
New Orleans, dividing it into two divi-
sions under Generals Wade, Coppinger and
Shafter.
The plan to have Gen. Shafter head an

swept aside. Gems. Wade, Coppinger ana
Shafter. respectively, in the order of their

be speedily occupied by the First volunteer
corps, consisting of 2s regiments Of infan-
