JUST FIFTY YEARS AGO
Was the Discovery of Gold
Made in California
NOW THE F0RTY-NINERS
Celebrate the Golden Jubilee
of That Event.
NOW THE F0RTY-NINERS

San Francisco. Jan. 24.-With the rising
of the sun this morning the celebration
of the fiftieth anniversary of the doscoy-
cry of gold in California, known as the
Golden jubilee. was heralded by the
booming of the guns at the various forts
which line the shores of the bay at the
entrance to Golden Gate. The salute
commenced with a welcome of twenty-one
guns from the big Finch guns at Fort
Point. This was followed in quick sue
cession by the guns at Forts Mason Al
catraz and Angel Island
Though rather too cold to allow OF
standing still in the early morning, the
weather was bright and bracing and as
the day progressed it became much warm
er and the conditions were perfect when
the hour for the big parade arrived.
Principally at 1920 o'clock one of the
most interesting parades ever seen in this
state marched through the streets, which
were gaily decorated with flags and ount-
ing, and thronged with people from every
part of the state. At least $1,000 strangers
poured into the city last night and this
morning, and half as many more from the
towns across the bay swelled the crowds
from this city along the line OF march
Market street. from the ferry to Vanness
avenue. was packed on either side. and
that part of it in the vicinity of the Bald
win hotel, where a mammoth arch had
| been erected across the street, was
| dense mass of humanity. Every WINDOW
along the route of march and many roofs
of the buildings were pressed into SER
vice by the sightseers.
The parade was divided into fifteen divi-
sions and it is estimated that there were
16 900 men In line.
In the afternoon literary exercises were
held in woodwards Pavilion, at which
appropriate addresses were made. This
evening there was a banquet and the
native sons gave a ball. The celebration
will continue the rest of the week.
San Francisco, Jan. 24-The splendor of
| the celebration of the Golden Jubilee Of
California, which began today. is not
likely to be surpassed for many a year to
come. The entire state had gladly re-
| sponded to the appeals of the miners
pioneers and native sons and daughters,
and from now until the close of the car
nival week San Francisco will be the
Mecca toward which all travel west of the
| Sierras will be turned Nor can the line
be drawn at the eastern border of the
state for from Nevada, Utah and the
country as far east as Denver, men who
first found fortune in the placers of Cali
fornia have already returned here 20 as
sist in the exercises commemorative of
the fiftieth anniversary of the discovery
of gold by Marshall at Coloma, near the
old fort erected by General Suffer. But
the participants in this week of gayety
are not confined to the old-timers. 1t is
the younger element, the children OF the
men of 40, that by their enthusiasm and
monetary contributions have assured in
advance the success of one of the most
unique and characteristic demonstrations
ever projected in any part of the Union.

BREAKING CAMP
Boys Now at Chickamauga Have Busi-

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 11.-Camp
George H. Thomas, at Chickamauga Park,
Is rapidly undergoing demolition. At day.
break this morning the work of breaking
camp was begun by number of the regi-
ments, and in few hours thereafter
places which have been covered with white
tents for some time were again vacant and
deserted. Officers and men of all regi-
ments now remaining are giving their time
and attention to preparations for depar-
ture and the regular routine of camp life
has been entirely suspended. The first
troops out were the Third Cavalry. They
were loaded on special trains at Rossville
about o'clock and started through to
Tampa over the Southern Railway. The
Sixth Cavalry got out few hours later.
going to Tampa over the same route. The
two regiments are under the command of
General s. s. Sumner. The Second Caval-
ry, under Colonel Hunt, will probably get
out for Mobile late this afternoon, and the
First and Tenth Cavalry, under Colonel
Baldwin, will leave about the same time
for New Orleans. Two of the infantry
regiments will march nine miles to Ring
gold and take cars for Tampa tomorrow,
The remaining will follow as rapidly as
possible. The indications are now that all
the commands with their equipments will
be gone before Friday noon.

THE QUOTA COMPLETE
The California Volunteers Are Ready
for Orders

Tor OrQerS
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE quota
of California volunteers is now complete.
The two battalions were mustered into the
service this morning and marched to the
Preside this afternoon. The heavy artil-
lery moved into temporary quarters near
Fort Mason this morning. The armories
have been emptied of recruits and volun-
teers and patriotic citizens, and national
guardsmen who did not get in on the first
call are waiting impatiently for the Sec
ond.
The uniforms, arms and equipments for
the battalions have been ordered and
Major f. s. Rice, the commander, hopes
to have some of them at the warehouse by
tonight. Major Rice will begin drilling
and instructing these men Immediately,
and as most of them are raw recruits he
will have no easy task. No time will be
lost in pounding them into available shape
for the use of the government as soon as
they are called for.
The four companies-A from Stockton,
II from Merced, c from Fresno and e
from Visalia-who have been quartered
at California Hall since their arrival on
Monday were sworn into the service by
Captain Darlington at an early hour this
morning. The ceremony was performed
with promptness and enthusiasm.
Affairs progress in the camp as quietly
as if the tents were houses of stone and
the settlement were to endure thousand
years. All the officers are full of praise
for the willingness and obedience of their
men. Privates who in civil life held posi-
tions of importance are content to wash
potatoes for the mess and do the service
work of the camps. In the squad who re-
ported this morning for fatigue duty were
a number of Stanford men.

MEXICAN NEUTRALITY
Been Declared and Will Be Strictly
Observed

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Some weeks ago
the papers of the United States published
telegram from Texas stating that Spanish
subjects residing in Mexico near the from
tier of the United States, availing them
selves of the opportunity to the fact that
large portion of the United States army
garrisoned on the frontier had been with
drawn, were preparing a filibustering expe-
dition to invade Texas. The Mexican Min
lister at Washington, having called the at
tention of the Mexican government to the
subject is in receipt of an official commun:-
cation from the Mexican government, dated
at the City of Mexico on the 29th ult., in
which he is informed that such a state
ment was altogether groundless but that
the Mexican government anticipating such
danger. had beforehand reinforced consid-
erably the troops garrisoning the frontier
of the United States and had issued neces-
sary instructions to keep a careful watch
with a view to avoid any trouble, however
remote 1t might be, arising on the part of
any Spaniards living in Mexico.

NEWS FROM SAMPSON
ANXIOUSLY AWAITED AT THE
NAVAL OFFICE
The Admiral Warned Against Trust
ing Reports Concerning Location
of Spain's Fleet

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Navy De-
partment is in almost hourly expectation
of advices from Admiral Sampson. What
the character of these advices will be the
officials do not intimate, but they expect
interesting and important news. 1t Is
rather matter of surprise to them that
the press has not already received infor-
nation from the squadron via st. Thomas
and the fleet dispatch boats which ac-
company SIMPSONS squadron.
Notwithstanding the cable advices to the
effect that the Spanish flying squadron has
rejoined the Spanish home squadron at
Cadiz, the Naval Strategy Board is by no
means assured on this point, and it is be-
lieved that while Admiral Sampson has
been placed in possession of the cable re-
ports he has been warned not to accept
them as absolutely conclusive as yet. In
this state of affairs the only prudent
course of action of the department would
seem to be to confer upon Admiral Samp-
son full authority to exercise his own dis
cretion in his movements, and 1t is be-
lieved this has been done. A possible lim-
itation was request that he hold him.
self in readiness to furnish armed conveys
for the troops to Cuba.
1t might seem strange that the Navy
Department should be in doubt as to
whether or not squadron of large men,
of-war is lying in a harbor where the ships
would be plainly visible to the eyes of lOO,-
900 people. 1t must be remembered, how
ever, that the United States has now no
representative in Cadiz nor can it look to
the representatives Of foreign governments
in Spain touching naval movements. Re-
lance must be had either upon severely
censored newspaper dispatches or upon the
reports of spies, and neither of these are
| of unimpeachable accuracy at this juno
| ture. For this reason the Navy Depart
ment is disposed to accept all reports with
extreme caution.
| The Strategy Board is carefully prepar-
ing it's plans for an assault upon Havana
by sea connection with the regular army
! movement by land, the work being rather
Of preparatory nature and not commit
ting the department. in any way to final
adoption of this plan. 1t has been repre-
sented that the fleet with safety might as
semble to the extreme east of the Spanish
Notifications at the entrance of the har-
Dor. In that position 1t would be exposed
to attack by only one battery at the end
of the line. The entire fleet could enfilade
this battery and destroy 1t In short order.
The attack would be followed down the
line of shore, taking one battery at time,
and thus reducing to minimum the ex-
posure of ships while bringing a terrible
concentration of fire upon the batteries in
turn. One naval officer who was consulted
on the subject guaranteed that the fleet
could knock out all the Notifications, one
| after another, within two hours.
1t would look like knocking down row
| of bricks, said he.
