THEPROMISE TO MERRITT.
He Will Soon Have the 10000 Soldiers That He Insisted
 IJpOn for Manila,

The transport steamer China, which sailed from San Francisco on June 15 In company with the Colon, the Senator and tba Zea1andia. reached Manila on Satur- day last, one day in advance of the rest of the fleet. It is reliably given out that the China will not return to San Fran cisco for some time. as Admiral Dewey has decided to attach her to his squad ron as a dispatch boat, she being capa- bla of making twenty knots an hour. It Is very likely that she will be armed with a strong battery
 The arrival of the China and her con- sorts adds 3515 troops to those landed at Manila by the City of Picking, City of Sydney and Australia, making a total of e016 of a land force The Ohio, City of psra Indiana and Morgan City, which sailed from San Francisco June 27, the Valencia, which left on the 18th. and the Newport, following on the 29th, will land oAOo more soldiers at Manila.

day. It is now definitely settled that this troop Will be sent to Sequoia Park and the yosemite Valley for duty, and Cap tam Calne IS daily expecting orders to move. The orders were prepared yester- daY. Flrst Lieutenant Smith will take apout one,third of the command and IInarch to the former place. The troop will ieave here August 5. Captain Caine will troop Tn the Yosemite. At first the men were we very sore over the prospect. as they aIi wanted to go to the front, but they VIII oo their duty. Captain Caine said yesterday that he thought his troop would be much benefited by the experi- ence they will of necessity gain and ne mas not lost all hope of seeing some active service yet, for there is a rumor 10 the effect that the Utah troop may be sent 10 Honolulu about the middle of the 1alI Tor garrison duty at that place This report has been in general circulation in tne troop for several days, and from all mat can be learned there is excellent foundation for it.
 The route of march to the Yosemite Will take the troopers through the towns or San Mateo, Redwood City, San Jose, Gllroy and across the Coast Range to Madeira, in the San Joaquin Valley. Had the troopers gone to Manila they would nave gone without their horses, and per formed duty as infantry. The fact that they now go with their horses for service as caValrymen reconciles the command 10 the tour of duty in guarding the res eryations of the Sierra. The Utah men Will nave delightful outing.

THE STREET COMMITTEE. Several Matters of Public Interest Considered Yesterday by the
 Supervisors

The Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors met yesterday and considered the protest of M H. de Young against the further maintenance of turntable by the Geary street railroad in front of the Chronicle building. MT. de Young and his attorney Reuben H. Lloyd. objected to having the turntable longer remain in front of the building, declaring 1t to be a nuisance, and one that endangers the lives and limbs of pedestrians.
 The company has been promising for the last six years " said Lloyd ito re- move the turntable, but all We have re- ceived is promises.
 The representatives of the company said that they were now planning to re- move the turntable and were granted two weeks further time in which to remove it..
 Protests against the paving of Broder- ick street, between Post and Geary, and Garden avenue, between Devisadero and Frederick streets, were favorably report ed upon by the committee.
 The matter ot granting the Southern Pacific Company the right to substitute double tracks for the single track now ex- tending from Third and Townsend streets to Ocean View was postponed, pending an examination of the ground by the Street Committee to ascertain If the project is faa Siblp

TRANSATLANTIC OF BASS. Game Fishes Taken From Temescal and Vallejo Lakes to Cooler
 Waters.

Some years ago the Fish Commission CTS planted several game and toothsome black bass in the small lake near Temes- cal Berkeley, and also in the sheet of water from which Vallejo receives it's simply. The bass thrived in both lakes, and anglers who gained permission to fish in the preserves enjoyed some rare snort which Is now a thing of the past.
 Owing to the extremely dry winter the lakes in question have run very low and the water being consequently warm the bass are dying
 Yesterday the Commissioners ordered two of their deputies to repair with nets To Temescal and Vallejo and save as many of the bass as can be secured alive. The fishes will be placed in cans suitable for the purpose of transportation and placed in some of the lakes or rivers or the State that are considered favorable for stocking.
 The black bass of Russian River, al- though in splendid condition, have a ratn- CT unpleasant flavor this year owing prin- cipally to the fact of the fish secret ing themselves under the decayed lun- Der which imparts to them a taste or the redwood.
 John Gallagher creeled two bass on Mon. day last which scaled respectively four and a half and three and a quarter pounds.
 Black bass fishing in Rodeo Lake is said to be very good this year Frank Deliver and John Butler made a very large catch at Rodeo last Sunday.

MAD ACT OF A BOY.
John Acapoleo Stabs the Man He Thought W ould Kill His Father.

Believing that his fathers life was in danger. John Acapoleo, an u-year-old boy, stabbed Bartholomo Demartini in the right breast last evening, while the father and Demartini were engaged in an alteration. The boy was arrested by OIhcer Mahoney and charged at the Cali fornia-street station with assault with a deadly weapon.
 The trouble started early In the after noon, while Pietro Acapoleo was away from his carpenter shop, at Gavin place. A number of boys had been turning on the water in some houses near there which were owned by Demartini. He warned the boys away, and thinking young Acapoleo one of the mischievous ever caught him. The boy Is of a very nervous disposition, and the threat of Demartini, added to the report that the man Is crazy, preyed upon the boys mind until he was almost hysterical
 On the return of the father in the even ing the occurrence was reported to him, and he went down to the bakery Demar- tini conducts, at his home, and the two men became engaged in a wordy war. the principal portion of which consisted of oaths and hard names. At the begin ming of this brawl the boy had been at his fathers shop, where some of the boys paymates soon went with the re- port that Demartini was going to kill Acopoleo senior. The young son. already COnSlderaDly eXClteQ, ruSneu to the scene of the trouble, and perceiving the two men gesticulating violently. became con- vinced that his father was In danger and, thinking to save his life, made an assault on Demartini with his pocket knife.
 The boy when placed in the cell at the station was greatly agitated, but when visited by his father, who assured him he would bail him out before he re- mained there long, he tried to control himself, and made a brave though vain attempt The father returned in a short time with the information that he could secure no bail so late. This information threw the little fellow into a paroXysm of grief. which the officers feared might result In a Arrangement of the mind. After several efforts Mir. Acapoleo sue ceeded in having the boy released on his oup recOeniZance.

A CHECK ON FREE RIDES.
Presidio Soldiers Must Pay Streetcar Fare or Present Passes From Their
 AdjutantS.

The Presdio and Ferries Railroad Com pany has so far very generously carried all soldiers free, but now that about 1000 troops are to be moved from Camp Mer- ritt over to the Presidio, the company has become alarmed over the prospective rush. To avoid being swamped, 1t has posted a notice in all its cars and in those of the connecting transfer lines that on and after tomorrow no free rides will be allowed to soldiers, except to those presenting passes from the various ad- jutants. This no doubt will save the company from the expense of purchasing extra equipment, as 1t is not likely that the ad5utants will issue passes by the wholesale

of designating the political affiliations of the eligibles had not been completed. In- asmuch as Mayor Phelan Is absent from morrow evening, it was decided to lay the matter over until Monday morning at g o'clock, when the precinct registration of- ficers will be named.
 Registrar Biggy reported that registra- tion was exceedingly slow this year. Only ,000 out of a possible 74,000 voters have thus far registered. Registration will close at the main office on August 8. and those who are awaiting the precinct reg istration will be put to many inconveni- ences. The registration at the office in the new City Hall is so slow that 1t would appear but little interest Is being taken in the coming campaign. Notwith- standing the fact that the office Is kept open until o'clock at night to accommo- date those who are unable to get there during the daytime, the registration does not average more than BOO day.

EIGHTH CALIFORNIA.
Colonel Darlington the Recipi- ent of a Sword From Ma
 tiOnal Guard Officers.

CAMP BARRETT, SATHER STA TON, July 2.-The camp was thrown into considerable suppressed excitement this afternoon by the unexpected arrival of General R. H. Warfield, Lieutenant Colonel J. G. Giesting. assistant adjutant general; Lieutenant Colo nel Hansen, brigade surgeon; Major James Margo, brigade quartermaster, and Major Charles Jansen. brigade inspector, all of the Second Brigade. N. G. C.
 When all the officers had assembled Major Hansen addressed Lieutenant Col onel F. de L. Darlington. and in neat speech presented him with a sword and belt on behalf of the Second Brigade staff, N. c. C., as a token of the esteem and friendship of the staff.
 General Warfield and staff had to re- turn to the city before the regimental parade, so did not see the men drill but expressed their pleasure at all they had seen at the camp.
 There is some trouble in camp over the mails. Many letters will never reach their destination, owing to a lack of proper address: The regimental number envelope, while in addition there should be the words, Camp Barrett, Fruitvale, Alameda County. Cal" This will insure the speedy arrival and delivery of all mail. Many confuse Merritt and Barrett, thus delaying the mail.
 The companies were issued picks, shov- els and axes to-day by Quartermaster Lieutenant Heller. Field tents and kit chen utensils will also be distributed i'm mediately. It is expected that the regf- ment will be fully equipped by the end of the month.
 Lieutenant Smith, Company L, formerly captain of the Bedding National Guard, who was taken seriously i'll last week, has so far recovered as to be able to report for duty. He has been under the care of pr. Miller of San Leandro, an old friend of former days.
 Lieutenant Bean. who has just arrived in camp is to give private lessons to the heavier officers with a view to reducing their weight

As fast as they arrived at the PresidiO they wer. carefully moved into the different wards in the brick barracks, that have been turned over to Major Owen and trans formed into a hospital. The reception of the sick soldiers at the Presidio was under the charge of Lieutenant Page All of the equipments of the hospital were also moved over and the entirs medical staff of stewards will be en- ployed on duty as before. The greater part of the day was consumed In the transfer which was an enormous under taking and much credit is due to Major Owen and his officers for the successful way in which they accomplished it.
 The daily camp life of the First New York Regiment moves with the precision and regularity of the regular troops Of the army There Is no hitch In anything, and the men are as happy and contented as d large family. Lieutenant ColoneI Stacpole is still in command of the regi- ment, and he is likely to retain command for some time, as Colonel Barber remains quite indiSpOSed. He was able to leave his room for a while yesterday, but is not yet well. He called upon Major Gen eral Merriam to pay his respects. Colonel Barber expects to go to the country for a few days for the purpose of recruiting his strength.
 Captain Staats, of Company B, has been appointed recruiting officer and he will thls week open an office in the city for the purpose of filling up all of the com panles to their required strength.
