SKIRMISHED FOR NATIONS,
How Mrs. Harrington Obtained Supper for the South Da-
 kOt9 V0lI1nteePS

When the 1000 volunteers from South Dakota arrived In this city yesterday af- ternoon they were surprised and de- lighted at the generous reception given them by the energetic workers of the Red Cross. They were sent on their way to camp with lighter hearts after their fa- tiguing journey of many hundred miles, but when they arrived at their encamp- ment and found a barren reception their feelings can be imagined.
 After setting up tents and working dili- gently their sharp appetites began to as- sert itself and the men began to look for supper Imagine their surprise when they found that the Government had for gotten them in the hustle. of war, and they might have gone to bed supperless but for the kindly efforts of the Red Cross ladies'
 As soon as Mrs. Harrington heard of their condition she gathered around her an efficient corps of ladies and began skirmishing for food. Major Hooper of the Occidental sent out wagon load, as did other downtown restaurants and hostelries.

Presented With a Sword.

The members of the Celtic Union and a number of friends assembled in Knights of the Red Branch Hall last evening to do honor to their president, Lieutenant Thomas F. Barry, who has enlisted in the heavy artillery. A short business meet ing was held, at which Lieutenant Barry rendered his resignation. which was ac- cepted with expressions of regret on all sides. The door of an ante-room was then thrown open, and the strains of the Red White and Blue from the Fi- bernia Band filled the. room. On behalf of the union Jeremiah Deasy then pre- sented the lieutenant with a handsome sword and pair of pistols. Lieutenant Barry received the tokens, and made stirring speech full of regret at leaving his friends full of joy at being able to do something for his country. A short but interesting programme under the di- rection of l.. ". Buckley as master of ceremonies was then rendered, and the company dispersed with many hearty handshakes and words of encouragement to the young lieutenant.

According to general calculations the first expedition of United States forces that sailed from this .harbor Wednes- day, May 25, arrived at Honolulu yes terday or the day before and may now be sailing from that port on the voyage to Manila There are no indications that the second fieetfwill sail from San Francisco before the latter part : or next week. Major General Merritt :, may have a surprise in store for the steamship men and proceed to spring 1t by directing the first ships to sail without waiting for other vessels to be placed in order for the trip. It is F known that the troops, or many of them at least, are now ready to step aboard.
 Important telegrams passed between the Secretary of War and Major Long of the quartermaster's department yes terday, and the outcome may be the engagement to-day of two more vessels for the eXpeditionary service. The work of putting the vessels already char tered in shape is going forward. but not with the energy which an active busi- ness man having immediate control of. everything in hand might impart to n similar expedition. Much time must be lost in advising with the authorities in Washington.
 The chief event at Camp Merritt yes terday was the arrival of fine regi- ment of volunteer infantry from South Dakota It is probable that two or three brigades now in camp will get away for Manila before any consider able number of troops arrive from the East. Troop F of the Fourth United States Cavalry has been ordered from Fort Vancouver to San Francisco. Major William A. Simpson, United States Volunteers, chief O. artillery on General .Aerritt's staff: arrived in San l Francisco yesterday and reported for 1 duty.
 Captain Charles E. Woodruff of the | medical department of the. United | States army. and ~ttending surgeon on the staff of General Merritt, has re- | ported for duty.
 Assistant Surgeon James R. Gregory, 1 U. s, A. has been directed by the War | Department to- proceed to- Fort St. | Michael, Alaska, for duty at that post. | He will relieve Captain Guy L..
