Impressions and Gives Thanks
for Small FaVors.
San Francisco, July 80.

san franclsCO, July oO.
Just three months ago today since
our boys enlisted at FIT. Scott. No
one could have made US believe then
that we would be out here In the sand
at this stage of the game. And this
morning orders are said to have been
received to move all the troops re-
naming here to Honolulu within the
next ten days. 1t is stated positively
that the orders are now at Col. Funs-
toms tent-and the fact that two ma
jor went through camp announcing
the news the news would seem to con-
firm the reports. We trust this is
true and hope our time will be of
short duration.
AS the regiment is to be moved to
the reservation probably tomorrow or
Monday the exhibition drill at the
pavilion may be postponed because
we would have SO much farther to go.
The boys will be very willing to 90,
however, should more definite news
he received that we soon take the big
boat ride.
The fret articles received from the
lola Red Cross society for the benefit
of the big 80 arrived today and we're
distributed promptly. AS the makers
names we're not placed in them, the
boys desire to thank them very kind
ly through the news columns of the
REGISTER for their generous remem-
berances.

The old army game still goes
merrily on. Most of the boys don't
know where they are at-or whether
their atness has any existence.
The Tacoma has been loaded with
hay and grain, wagons, Sc horses and
l20 mules, and will sail for Manila
this week; as men, one Lieutenant,
and one Surgeon will go on board
with the cargo. This is sailing
vessel and will require about 20 days
to make the trip.
Nothing more can be learned about
the Kansas boys except that they are
going 10 give .he exhibition drill next
Thursday evening at Mechanics
pavilion. The boys are whistling to
keep up courage, and say the stuff is
off If we get let down this time.

NOTES,

This morning the dog house fell
down on one of the tents and caught
nine or ten of the boys at roll call, so
they had to do the drill in the sand
for an hour for not being in line.

occasion FOR alarm on this account, and
states that the sensational ramors now
afioat 10 the effect that there are hundreds
OF cases in the city OF which the public
is purposely kept in ignorance, have no
foundation whatever.
The truth, as shown By his records. IS
that there are now but ten cases under
quarantine, although the number Of cases
for this month threatens, a, the present
rate, 10 exceed that of any previous month.
Since January l there have been ninety
four cases and twenty deaths from the dis
ease. There were fifteen cases in Marcn.
fifteen in April and twenty-one in May. Up
TO the first week in May the epidemic was
confined to the north end Of the city. In
the beginning the great majority Of the
patients were school children. but of late
several adults, also, have been attacked
By the disease.
The health department has the epidemic
Well in hand and there is no likelihood Of
its becoming at all alarming As a mat

especially in the winter months The an
nual reports of the health department OF
all the great cities show that this is to be
expected. Last year Spokane had sos

not much more than half as large as Seat

over the fact. This year marks the first
appearance OF the epidemic in Seattle.
