 Henshaw's Redinaent.

In view of the fact that General Mer- ritt's demand for more troops will be promptly compiled with the Eighth California Regiment will very likely soon have chance to So to the front in the Philippines.
 Although the Eighth California is one of the most recently organized regiments 1t Is by no means made up of inexperi- enced men. It is mainly composed of National Guardsmen who have seen sev- eral years military service. It is con- ceded that this regiment has within It's ranks the very best material in this State. The men are all robust and in splendid health. Tn fact it would be diff ficult to find anywhere a military organ ization that contains so many perfect specimens of physical manhood The reg iment Is well equipped and efficiently drilled and Is in every respect prepared to take the field for active service at an hours notice and every man is anxious to do so
 At a meeting of influential citizens yes- terday afternoon dispatch was fornu- lated setting forth all the. above facts and sent to Secretary of War Alger re- questins him to give the Eighth Califor- mia an early opportunity to go to the Philippines. Similar telegrams have been sent to Secretary Alger by prominent men in various parts of the State and a favorable reply is expected to-day It is quite likely, therefore, that the Eighth California will soon be on It's way to the PhiliDTineS
