By request flowers are being sent in from the country to many of the Endeavorers, who in turn bring them out to the camp each morn ing, and they are then taken by the mem bers of the hospital department to the hospitals; the reading and writing tents are also supplied.

A CHANGE OF PLANS.
Four Hundred Soldiers Were to Have Gone to Honolulu
 on the Alameda.

The only busy spot on the water front yesterday was Pacific street wharf Down at Folsom street there was little sport early in the morning owing to the departure of the steamer Columbia fot Oregon, but at Pacific street the rush was kept up all day. It was originally intend ed to send 400 troops to Honolulu on the steamer Alameda, but last Saturday night the order was countermanded, and, of course, that left a lot of space on the mail steamer. Accordingly, notices were sent out to shippers, and all of yesterday the freight kept rushing down to the wharf Had the soldiers been scheduled to go away on the Alameda next Wednes- day the chances are that the Bennington would have sailed to-day. Under easy in about the same time, as the mail steamer and then everything would have been ready for the raising of Old Glory over the islands.

 The work of loading the City of Pueblo and Peru was kept up all day while the alterations to the ship Tacoma will begin to-day. The latter will carry 250 horses on her main and tween decks. The third deck and lower hold will be used for stores and supplies. From here the Ta- coma will go to Honolulu and there the cattle will be unloaded and given a few days rest. They will then be put aboard again and it is thought that they will then be got to Manila in safety.
 It is now almost certain that the Ia coma will make for her destination by way of the straits of San Bernardino. Ar judgements will be made to have the steamer Nero waiting for her there and

SURPRISES AT INGLEsIDE.
Malrno Downed by Eclipse and Leonora Defeats HadiwiSt.
 ShortenderS' Killings.

Coursing. like marriage, Is mighty un- unsartin." This was proven yesterday at Ingleside before one of the largest crowds that has attended the park this season. When such star performbers as Mialmo and Hadiwist are shut out by less speedy dogs the talent Is given food for re- flection The latter class of bettors, after having things practically their own way during the mornings running, were dealt some severe setbacks as the afternoon wore on. Shortenders struck a streak of luck and nearly a half dozen times cashed their tickets at odds ranging from to 2ih to 1, and their jubilant shouts could be heard every time their choices landed.
 The first surprise the talent received occurred in the first round. Hobson went out and defeated the sure winner High Born Lady, and their purses were sadly depleted. They, however, recuperated on the courses that followed until near the close of the stake, when fortune smiled the other way.
 Lass O Gowrie defeated Old Glory in one of the prettiest and grittiest courses of the day. Old Glory led up to the turn and then let drive for the hare. He missed 1t, and the impetus was so great that he fell. He grittily followed in the wake of the chase, but the Lass had scored enough points to win at odds Of to 1.
 Eclipse was in splendid form and de- feated Statesman, Fairview. the Belle or Moscow and the mighty Malmo, winner of the Merced stake. Odds of to l were offered against him in the latter course and his victory proved sensation. Clifton Lass, however, defeated him in the final. Eclipse was made favorite at odds of to 1, and his defeat brought more happiness to the shortenders Leonora In the all-aged stake proved the surprise. She downed Hadiwist Lass O Gowrie and ran bye with Myrtle for the final On their meeting the latter dog only won out by a narrow margin.
 Following is the way the dogs ran:

WAITING FOR THE WORD "GOY

T was very quiet Sunday at the
 headquarters of Major General Otis,
 who up to a late hour last night ! was expecting dispatches from
 Washington in regard to the Homo lulu annexation programme, and the sailing of the troop transports now ready for their departure for Manila, but no telegrams came. The situation therefore Is unchanged from what Is was on Saturday, and General Otis Is yet uncertain as to the date of his sail ing, but he will in all probability get away some day this week.
 Admiral Miller has received no fur ther advices, but expects full instruc- tions by mail in a day or two in regard to the raising of the American flag over the Hawaiian Islands. The cruiser Philadelphia, on which he will sail on the 20th. has her full crew on board and is in condition to start for Homo lulu at any time.

 AMERICAS FUTURE. A Caustic Lecture by Rev. J. Hemphill.

Rev. J. Hemphill of the Calvary Pres byterian Church spoke last night on the future of America at the' close of the nresent war He said: America Is Gods chosen land just as Palestine was. Our broad country stretching from ocean tt ocean is the grandest in the world and offers every opportunity for development. ture is full of the brightest prospects.
 .'The statement that this country con. tains as many Catholics as Protestants is a colossal falsehood. Out of the 62 ,O00,- GOO people of the last census 57,000, ,000 are Christians in sympathy and sentiment. out of that number 49,O00,00O are Protest ant in sympathy and sentiment. Roman catholics will never dominate this coun- try, though politically they are dominat- ing it now dnstead oI rato or seven in this city, there are seventy Catholics to one Protestant. Spain was and is |, Catholic country. The American idea Is so antagonistic to the Roman idea that the latter can never conquer"

Testaments are in great de- mand, and it is the endeavor of the com fort bag committee to have each bag con- tain either prayer book or a Testament. More Testaments are needed, as the sup ply has run short.
 Special mention should be made of the fact that the soldiers stationed at the Fontana warehouse have been given many pleasant evenings by the Franklin street Presbyterian Church.

THEY ARE LOYAL
Company D of the Eighth Is Ready to Fight the
 Spanish.

JACKSONVILLE, Cal, July 1o.-A letter bers of Company D, Eighth Regiment. California Volunteers, appeared in the Watsonville Register this morning, of which the following is an extract:
 Middleton acts the man. Do not be- lieve any rumors you may hear about our boys falling out of the company. We have enlisted for the war. We wanted E. A Middleton for second lieutenant, and after our arrival some of the boys decided to drop out if he was not appointed. When Middleton was informed of this he thanked us for our interest in him, but said 1t was not right and urged us to stand by the company whether he re- ceiyed a commission or not. Acting upon his advice we had talk with Captain Elliott on the morning before We were mustered in and agreed to stand by him in peace or war AS our second lieutenant has not yet been appointed, we still hope that Middleton will get the place. He is all right, and there Is nothing small about him. He has done everything he could for our comfort, and the boys ap- preciate his efforts.'
 MT. Middleton recruited a body of fifty three men and turned them over to Cap tain Elliott of the above mentioned com pany. This community is considerably wrought up over the announcement that sion. When the announcement of the off, cerS appointed to command the Eighth Regiment was made last week, the posi- ton of second lieutenant of Company D was left vacant, and it was hoped here that this position was being reserved for Mir. Middleton, but S. M. English was ap- pointed to the place, as published in to- days Call.
