 After the inspection General Shafter re- marked that he had found everything in good order. In fact he expressed surprise at the excellence and readiness of the facilities for field service in the line of transportation. As to the probable move ment of troops he would not venture a prediction. He simply said that all the troops at the Presidio were ready to take the field.

Spanish cruiser that could manage to obtain a supply of coal might enter any of these ports and do considerable dam age before one of our cruisers could over haul the enemy's vessel Of course, it is we'll understood that Spaln's operations on the Pacific in his region would be limited by ree of the difficulty that would be encountered in obtaining fuel.
 AS a result of the conference yesterday, it is understood that immediate steps will be taken to organize several batteries in the National Guard Barring four troops of cavalry, the Naval Reserve and the Signal Corps, the National Guard of California consists of infantry. The occa- sion now arises for the use of artillery, and measures will be taken at once to supply ,.1e troops with guns, caisS 0p-. ammunition and horses. One battery may be stationed at Santa Cruz, another at Monterey and one at Santa Barbara inson yesterday General Shafter said to a Call reporter that the Government could supply the State troops with the necessary guns and equipment for the organization of batteries or artillery. The general also remarked that there would be no obstacles in the way of supplying the infantry regiments of the National Guard with new guns of the Springfield type
 After the interview General Dickinson said that several batteries of artillery would probably be organized in the Ma tional Guard He remarked that Gen. eral Shafter had asked a good many ques- tiofis about the guard and the equipment of the troops.
 No doubt the wires will be used imme- diately to get authority from Washing ton to issue from the Benicia Arsenal to the State troops such small arms and field guns as may be required to effective ly arm the organization. To hasten action in the premises the assistance of Sen ators White and Perkins may be re- quested.
 Before final action is taken. General Dickinson, the division commander, will probably confer with Governor Budd and Adjutant-General Barrett. Should three batteries of artillery be required, it is probable that one will be assigned to each of the three existing brigades of the Ma tonal Guard. The old Second Brigade of the guard, located in this city, had an excellent light battery, but the expense of maintaining ar armory and hiring horses was more than the company could stand. The Sacramento brigade also had good light battery, but it was mustered out when the National Gucru was re-or- ganzed. It now becomes necessary, in view or the approaching conflict, to restore that arm of the service. There wilf be no difficulty in finding men fairly capable who are willing to man the guns.
 Doubtless the infantry regiments will now be Immediately supplied with ap- proved guns and a full line of ammuni- ton. The supply of tents is limited, but the deficiency can be made good by pur- chase in the open market Blankets can also be purchased without delay. The troops are just receiving new uniforms from the appropriation made at the last session of the Legislature. Should more overcoats be demanded they can be read fly purchased.

 The strength, equipment and general value of the National Guard as a mili- tary organization constituted the chief topics of discussion. The possibility of privateers and small raiding expeditions being organized to molest commerce and defenseless communities on the California coast was considered.
