CHANCE FOR OPERATORS.
United Stat s Signal Corps Will Run the Philippine Tele-
 draph SYSten1.

The United States Signal Corps now be- ing organized by Major R. E. Thompson to accompany the Philippine expedition ary forces will take charge of all tele- graph lines in the conquered territory as rapidly as circumstances will permit. A large number of expert telegraph opera tors will be needed, and it seems that it is a very difficult thing to find enough good telegrapherS in San Francisco or vicinity who are deSirouS of enllSttng, al- though the pay Is more than that ol any other branch of the military service. When the Signal Corps recruiting office was opened there was room for one hun dred operators in the organization, yet up to date not more than twenty have been secured. The consequence is that Major Thompson will be obliged to draw on the Eastern cities in order to fill the quota. He received a telegram yesterday that two first class operators are on the way here from North Carolina. The term of enlistment is for the war, and upon it's conclusion the entire telegraph system of the Philippines will be in the hanas of the Americans. It will be seen that eventu- the right kind of men. It Is an opportu- nity that should not be overlooked In all probability all operators now enlisting will be retained in Government employ ment after peace shall have been de- clared.
 Yesterday afternoon Sergeant Watkins, Corporal Strachauer and Privates Philip and Strachan of the Signal Corps of the National Guard of California. in which organization they nave served for some time at Sacramento, enlisted in the Unit ed States Signal Corps They are bright young men, of good character and will prove a most desirable acquisition.
 Quite number of transfers are being made from the troops now here to the Signal Corps. but the great demand is for telegraph operators.

GEN. GREENE AT WORK.
He Has Inspected His Brigade and Instituted Target
 Ppactice

Brtgadier- General Greene, who will command the next expedition of troops leaving this port, Is a soldier from the crown of his head to soles of his feet. Yes, every inch of him breathes of mili- tary experience, and while he is Mar tinet, simply because he can't be anything else, yet at the same time his rank does not weigh so heavily upon him that he forgets the natural courtesy of a gentle man As far as giving out anything to the press is concerned, he Is not different from other officers of high rank, but whenever a newspaper representative calls at his quarters he is courteously re- ceived and quietly but politely informed that there is nothing for publication. In this respect there is a marked difference between General Greene and some other officers who wear the stars.
 On Tuesday General Greene inspected the First Battalion of the Twenty-third Infantry and yesterday he inspected the First Battalion of the Eighteenth Infan- try. These two battalions will strike camp to-day and move their tents to the encampment just opposite Major-General Otis headquarters. This Is done for the purpose of making room in the Eigh- teenth and Twenty-third for the new re- cruits that are expected tomorrow, and also for the purpose of consolidating the two battalions. The battalions will in their new camp be under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Bailey of the Eigh- teenth.
 General Greene had the First Colorado

finally decided, much to Schwerin's de- light, that they would stay by the ship. The autocrat of the Mail Company then returned to the waiting men who wanted to ship as coal passers and firemen and told them that no more men were wanted.
 The steamers City of Picking. City of Sydney and Australia went out with an entire European crew. When 1t came to shipping the crew of the Peking the Chi nese were removed and Americans put in their places. The Colon and Zealandia will also go out with white crews, but the boys who sail on the China will be waited on by Mongols, and the coal passing and firing will be done by a race which Uncle Sam excludes from his country for his country's good. This, too in spite of the fact that Lieutenant" Schwerin can get strapping Americans to do the work at the usual rate of wages.
 The transports now nearly ready to sail will be barely out of the bay before three other steamers will be well on the way toward being in condition to follow them The next fleet to sail will be the coast de- fense steamer Monadnock, accompanied by the recently purchased steamer Whit gift, the cruiser Philadelphia and the steamers Senator, City of Puebla and Ohio.

FUN FOR THE SOLDIERS.
Diref1l Tales of Famine Poured Into Willing Ears by Prac-
 tical Jokers.

The soldiers at Camp Merritt do not take kindly to their commanding officers restrictions on the indiscriminate distri- button of pies, cakes and fruits by sympa- thetic citizens. and resort to various ex- pedients to secure contributions of pas- try to "top off, the Government rations. The plan most in vogue is for a squad to line up against the fence. and when group of ladies pass begin narration of famine and general i'll treatment that immediately enlists the sympathies of the passers-by.
 In nine cases out of ten they will stop and question the boys, and then such tales of neglect and abuse by an ungrate- full Government are poured forth that the very hearts of the hearers are wrung by the recital. Each wearer of the blue spreaas himself to outdo the others in the matter of hard-luck yarns, and soon the mortified bevy of beauties are scud- ding for the nearest lunch counter, re- turning in short order with all the sweets in the place.

Nothing has, as yet, been done to the Puebla, as her owners have asked the Government for permission to make one more trip with her. If the re- quest be granted the chances are that the Indiana, now on Puget Sound, will take the Puebla's place in the fleet.
 The Puebla and the Senator will be fit- ted with the Turner bunk and the sol diers' quarters will be on a similar scale to those on the Australia and Zealandia The Senator Is a new vessel and will make a model troop ship She is a good seaboat, a splendid carrier and a good fourteen-knot vessel. The Puebla has been for years the fastest steamer on the coast, and out of the tens of thousands of people who have travelled on her there will not be found one who has not good word for the Pacific Coast Steamship Companys crack steamer. The Ohio came from the East to go into the Klon- dike trade, and she has been fitted out to carry passengers to Seattle. She is not nearly so fast as the Senator and Puebla. so the entire fleet will have to regulate it's speed by hers.
 When the third fleet has been dis
The San Francisco call., 1898-06-09

patched a fourth one will be we'll under way. It will probably be composed of the Morgan City, Indiana or Puebla and the City of Para or Alameda most likely the latter. Some of these vessels could be got ready to leave for Manila in short order but the Government will not be ready The men are here, but their euuipments are not to the fore, and until they are nothing can be done. In any event if is pretty safe to say that over and above the men who sailed on the Australia Peking and Sydney, ten thousand troons will be on their way to Manila before the month is out.
 Of the vessels scheduled to leave in the near future the Zealandia will carry about 900, the China about 600, the Colon 750 Senator 750, Ohio 750, Puebla 75O, Indiana 750 and Morgan City 600 soldiers. A nun Der of vessels mentioned in the dispatches from the East are not available. for the simple reason that there is no means of transferring coal from the hold to inc bunkers at sea. The Queen and santa Rosa are both In this fix, as are also tha Umatilla and Walla Wala. Other vessels mentioned in the Washington dispatches are not in port, and some of them will not be available until some of the trans ports that have already sailed return from Manila.

THE NEXT EXPEDITION.
Officers at Camp Merritt Pre- dict That the Fleet Will
 Sail Next Monday.

As published exclusively in The Call of Tuesday it now seems an assured fact that the next expedition to Manila will sail from this port early next week The information comes from a prominent officer at Camp Merritt that everything except the vessels is in readiness, ana that on Sunday the troops Will go apoaru the transports and anchor Will De "elsheo on Monday morning. It appears that the China has been the cause of the delay. On the vessels last trip over she brought among her passengers number or Chlna- men. and the military authorities at recent meeting held at army heaoQuar- ters deemed 1t best that the vessel should first be thoroughly disinfected before ai- lowing troops to go aboard.
 Camp Merritt was thoroughly pohceo yesterday by a large body of prisoners. As a result of their close proximity to Iouor and a surplus supply of cash the guard houses of the Eighteenth and Twenty-third were unusually full: A de- fail from each regiment was ordered 10 report at division headquarters, from which point they began tneir d worh sd uiiuer the watchful eye of a strong guard

The Chinese passengers who were detained on the China have been transferred to the Belgic and the space they occupied has now been filled with hunks for the soldiers.
 In regard to the coal passers and fire men on the China there is a great rum- pus. Able-bodied Americans and experts at the work are more than willing to ship for the voyage, but they assert that Lieutenant" Schwerin is so enamored of the Chinese that he is actually paying them double wages to make the voyage to Manila and back.

 Professor Giddings' important intro duction is devoted to political orimino ogy as it has been illustrated in the United States. As to M. Proal's learned an1 suggestive work the London Spectator says: "At times the authors numerous illustrations, taken from various coun tries and ages, snow that the difficulty of maintaining absolute reetisude in pubiic affairs equals that of the rich man in his efforts to enter the kingdom of heaven. But. on the other hand. his ultimate con- cIuslon is that, as the art of governing is one of the most noble, so the actual exer- else of the art is compatible with the loftiest standard of integrity"

 This is one of the favorite amusements for the boys when off duty and not al lowed to leave camp Their portrayals of scanty rations, ill-cooked and of poor est quality are certain to excite the at tention and pity of the gentler sex, and the man who can spin the most doleful yarn, keeping furthest from the truth, is envied by all his comrades.
 One young lady who visited the camp last Sunday was so worked upon that she emptied her purse for pies for proportions gave the lie to their stories of starvation. The usual God bless yous'' so played upon her heartstrings that she took the first car for home un- sufferings among the country's defend CTS.
 On her way downtown she questioned young soldier, a member of the Utah Cavalry troop, and he proved to be a prince of romancers. His tale was to the effect that the only reason the members of his troop had not died of starvation was because the citizens of Utah had thoughtfully subscribed s2500 to be used for their comfort in Manila, but this fund had already been heavily drawn upon to keep the wolf from their tents Their horses, though, according to the young Mormon, had been without fodder for several days, until finally the men had to go downtown and buy hay at $27 ton. with their own money, to keep the ami mals from starving.
 This last portrayal of suffering nearly broke the 'lady's heart, and upon reach ing home she had her escort write a statement to The Call of what she had seen and heard with the request that an investigation be held.
 The matter has been thoroughly looked into, with the result that 1t is apparent the lady has been made the victim of a lot of constituencies jokers.

The First Nebraska Regiment, Colonel Bratt commanding, will leave with the next expedition for Manila. At late hour last night Major-Gen- eral Otis telegraphed the adjutant- general at Washington, D. O., and ln- formed him that the Nebraska Regi- ment, eighty-one men strong to the company, would be sent to the Phil ippines. General Otis also asked for information regarding the detention here of some of the officers of the regiment TOT the purpose of recruit ing the regiment up to 106 men to the company. He also asked for simi- lar advice regarding the recruiting of the First Colorado up to the maxi mum strength.
 It has been an open secret for sev- eral days that Colonel Bratt had something up his sleeve, for he has been in constant communication with division headquarters, and late last night he had long conference with General Otis.
 It is also certain that another de- tachment of troops, less than & regi- ment, will sail with the expedition on next Wednesday, and the informa- tion is imparted that in all proba- bility it will be the two Idaho bat tallons under the command of Colo nel Jones. These troops have been inspected by Colonel Hughes and Captain Mallory and are thoroughly equipped. It is also rumored that af- ter all the corps of engineers will be included in the expedition.
