manding the regiment, the State will be enabled to collect from the general Government the value of the property supplied for the emergency. It is also highly creditable to the Seventh that a reQuisition has been made and duly approved by the chief Quartermaster for everything that the regiment re- quires for the Manila expedition, or at least everything that the regiment is entitled to under the regulations. The Seventh is making a splendid record for observance of military methods and will surely be selected for important work by future brigade and division commanders.
 At a meeting of the officers of the Seventh last evening the following let ter was read and acknowledged by a vote of thanks:
 To the Officers and Men of the Seventh Regiment, California Troop: Ladies from the Alameda churches wishing to do something for your comfort have made you some bags for your pockets, filling them scantily that they may not be bur densome, and we have also brought a little home cooking, which we trust will be found acceptable. More will follow on Saturday. With many good wishes and prayers for your safety, believe me, yours very truly, MRS. J. G. WARD, President Ladies Aid, First Congrega-
 tional Church.

FLAG PRESENTATION.
Chamber of Commerce Gives a Stand of ColOrs to the
 First Redipaent

The Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco yesterday conffded to the First Regiment of California, United States Volunteers, the sacred flag of this repub- lie and it's fitting mate, the colors of the State of California. Imposing in the ex- treme were the ceremonies, and of such nature as to strike in every heart the chord of loyalty and patriotism
 The presentation ceremonies took place about o'clock upon the southern slope that rises directly in the rear of Colonel Smiths headquarters. and it was wit messed by at least 5000 people. The flag was presented by President Hugh Craig of the Chamber of Commerce and re- ceived by Colonel Smith upon the part of the regiment The regiment was drawn I'D at the foot of the slope, and half way up 1t Chief Trumpeter Julian Aitlkin took his position with the colors encased in a waterproof covering. On the right in the formation was the First Battalion, in the center the Second and on the left the Third.

 abundance of wood and straw for bedding

yesterday by Major White, chief sur geon of the Manila expedition.
 It Is said that General Otis looked surprised yesterday when he saw the number of commissioned officers on the roll of the California volunteers. The general should have seen Cali f0rui8 roster of troops some years ago when half the force of the National Guard consisted of staff officers The California troops may be oft1cered up to full limit of any possible military emergency and perhaps every mothers 8 shoulder strapped son expects his daily tribute of salutes, but it can be said to their credit that they are ready
 to go to the front and take whatever comes to the men of the command They are not like some of the officers of the regular service, pulling and haul ing for influence to obtain soft Dlllets at Washington and New York.
 If the story Is correct that the Gov ernment is purchasing mules in Balu- more to outfit the expedition for the Philippines, then some Washington Quartermaster of the ideal staff corps is fully aroused to the peril of the sit uation in the Orient. Of course it cuts no figure in Washington that good mules are plentiful in California and cost no more here than they do in Bal timore Old time army officers of the regular service laughingly say that some railroad company has got the ear of the staff corps in Washington, and spread the story that mules cannot be found west of the Rocky Mountains.
 Yesterday Captain Lockett of the Fourth Cavalry and Lieutenant Martin of the Fourteenth Infantry received telegraphic instructions from Washing ton to purchase horses. This slgnifes that the Fourth Cavalry is slated for the Manila expedition. Each troop of the squadron at the Presidio is being recruited to a strength of 100 men and the horses called for are to supply the recruits. Captain G. H. G. Gale, Fourth Cavalry, has been designated as officer in charge of recruits.

 As an example of the lack of systen in Washington a few facts which have recently come to light may be cited. A few days ago the adjutant general of the United States army wired to Governor Budd that Califor- mia troops organized under the State law and accepted by the Government would be entitled to officers under such law In accordance with this ruling the Governor decided to issue commis- sions to four first neutenants of in fantry, four second lieutenants of in- fantry and two additional lieutenants of artillery. These were selected to fill the positions of ordnance and com missary officers and to provide for the First and Seventh Regiments respec- lively an assistant surgeon. Yester-

CHAPTER III.

Next morning Wentworth worked his way, with much balancing and holding on of stanchions, along the deck, for the ship rolled fearfully, although there seemed to be little wind and the sun was shining brightly, but the per son he sought was nowhere visible. He thought he would go into the smoking room, but changed his mind at the door. and turned down the companionway to the main saloon. The tables had been cleared Of the breakfast belon giugs, but on one of the small tables q white cloth had been laid, and at this spct of purity in the general effect of red plush sat Miss Brewster, who was com placently ordering what she wanted from a steward, who did not seem at all pleased in serving one who had disre- garded the breakfast hour to the dis arrang ngenent of all saloon rules. The chief steward stood by a door and looked disapproviEgly at the late guest. It was almost time to lay the tables for lunch, and the young woman was as calmly ordering her breakfast as if she had been the first person at the table.
 She looked up brightly at Wentworth, and smiled as he approached her.
 "I suppose" she began, ''I'n dread
 fully late, and the steward looks as if he would like to scold me. How aw-
 fully the ship is rolling. Is there a storm?"
 ''No. She seems to be doing this sort
 of thing for amusement. Wants to
 make it interesting for the unfortunate passengers who are not good sailors, l suppose. She is doing it, too. There's | scarcely anyone on deck" Dear me. thought we were having | a dreadful storm. Is it raining?'' ''No. It's beautiful sunshiny day: | without much wind, either, in spite e. | all this row.
 II suppose you have had your breai:- fast long ago?'
 so long since that 1 am beginning to look forward with pleasant antici-
 patton to lunch.'
 ''O. dear! I had TO idea I was so late
 as that. Perhaps you had better scold
 me. Somebody ought to do it, and the | steward seems a little afraid" CONTINUED TOMORROwJ
