NOT YET KNOWN
Orders From Washington Do Not
Say to What Point the r. |.
Troops Will Be Sent.

The air Is full OF rumors In regard to
the destination OF the Rhode Island vol
unteer, reniment, but as q matter OF
fact the Rreater part OF these rumors are
mere guess work, while others are simply
the result OF an over-vivid Imagination.
There Is nothing definitely known at
military headquarters In this city as to
the point to which the Regiments will be
ordered by the war department.. and the
very latest order so far received does not
mako this more explicit
This order states that just as soon as the
regiment is mustered into the regular
service, Colonel Abbot Is to report at onoe
to the general In command OF the depart
ment Of the East which means to Gsn-
erai Wesley Merritt. Whether this means
that the Rhode Island regiment is des.
tined to 60 % Chickamauga, Chatta-
nooRa, Tampa, Porto Rico, Cuba or
even the Philippines Is not known, that
being for the secretary OF war TO decide.
Nothing is known ut headquarters con.
cerning the story about the regiment
going into camp on Long Island.
Colonel Abbot has telegraphed to Secre.
tary OF War Alger asking for permission
to remain at Quonset Point until Mon
day next. because by that time the rsgi-
ment will be equipped In every detail.

cannot be procured by the state authori-

seen. One thing Is positively certain,
and that Is that the regiment will not
come to Providence on Thursday next. as
many people have believed. Ii the regi-
ment comes TO this city at all before Its
departure from Rhode Island, IL will not
be before saturday next but orders are

The big cruiser passed through the
Golden Gate at 500 Sunday morning
altering having been anchored in the
stream all night. She adjusted her
compasses at an early hour and then
passed up the bay through the Raccoon
straits and past the docks on the
northern frontage of the city. Every
steam vessel in the harbor blew au re-
voir to Capt Glass and his crew. None
of the forts in the harbor saluted
the vessel, but the demonstration made
by the 5000 soldiers gathered at the
Preside was tremendous. When the
vessel was sighted coming down the
bay the soldiers gathered On the beach
to bid her bon voyage. They lined the
beach for mile and cheer upon cheer
rang out from the men who are to soon
follow the Charleston to the scene of
Dewey's triumph. The Charleston's
big siren answered the boys OF the
beach time and again and the whisthng
was heard from one end of the city to
the other. Never has 4 wax vessel
leaving this harbor received such a
sendoff as was given the Charleston,
which was the first of the American
fleet to be built on the Pacific coast.
She was launched from the Union iron
works in this city ten years ago, and
was one OF the NEST eggs" of the pres
ent American navy.
