CAMP RICHMOND, San Francisco, May e
with Company c, Thirteenth Minnesota
volunteers)-The following is a brief outline
of Company C's trip to San Francisco:
Left st. Paul May 16 at $50 D. m. The
girls at LIE Sueur, Mimi, gave each one of
the boys love letter, so they said, expect ng
a reply Folks at st. James, Mimi, served
lunch
May IT we were IN Nebraska and it was
raining hard. Train stopped at Columbus
half an hour. Boys of Company g had a
short game of base ball.. -,
May IS we arrived at Cheyenne, Wyo., at
$50 a. m. Saw AmesIpeaki highest point in
Rockies, on U. P. system. Scenery is grand.
May 10 we arrived at Ogden at $40 a. M,
in driving rain and, hail storm. The war
feeling in Utah is kind of dead. The boys
took turns riding in the engine
May 20 we arrived at best part of the trip,
in California. At Sacramento the people had
a band, lunch, and azgrand welcome for us
all. In fact a reception that the boys will
never forget. They could not do enough for
us, and the train was simply filed with
flowers of all DESCRIPTIONS Fruit, such as
oranges and cherries, was handed to us ell
along the line In California Little flower girls
were on hand to meet US at every station.
Arrived at Oakland at 2 a. m. the Nst
Stayed in cars until a. M, and then took
ferry at a. m. for Frisco, where Red Cross
society served lunch. After eating the regi-
ment received orders to march. After a five
mile tramp we arrived at our destination.
Had to lay around five hours before tents
arrived from the depot. Each company re-
ceived eighteen tents about five men to a
xx,;+b o,,yx, ho1a of l.
divided equally among them. Some of tie
boys bought their own straw and were good
and mad about it. In the meantime it stsrted
to rain and as the company grounds vera
sandy it was almost impossible to make tire
stakes hold. This is all the news up to date.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 26.-The transport
ing of 1900 troops to the Philippines las
set the government agents securing the Pa
cifc ocean for transport vessels. So far only
2,6OO troops have been sent to Admiral
Dewey's assistance. There are 1900 more in
camp here and 1900 more to come About
fifteen more transports are required together
with half-dozen golfers.
The second expedition will not leave San
Francisco for fully three weeks unless the
transports are sent out by twos and threes
In the latter event the Zealandia and China
if the big liner is finally chartered might be
made ready to sail in about ten days time
So far as the Zeaandia is concerned it will
not take long to fit her up. The big steamer
was towed to the iron works yesterday, where
she will be locked and cleaned. A force of
ship carpenters put on board of her as
soon as she was turned over to the govern
ment. The vessels so far secured for the
second expedition are listed as follows:
China will carry 1900 men: Centennial, $50
men; Zealanda, 1000 men; Ohio, 1000 men !;
Peter Jebsen (renamed Brutus), collier, could
be converted to carry about 300 men; Ming
Chow, same Jebsen. Total number of
men. 1850. To this fleet must be added a
number of large vessels carrying the re-
mainder of the army of invasion.
The troops of the Utah cavalry arrived this
evening and went into camp at Fort Rich
mond.

ON BOARD TRAIN IN UTAH. May 10
with. Company I, Thirteenth Regiment).-
Company l left the train at Cheyenne ana
marcned through some of the streets and
back to train. where breakfast was served.
Little can be said for Cheyenne. 1t is a typi-
cal wild and woolly Western town. We left
there at 8:45 At $50 we caught our first
glimpse Of a snowcoyered mountain. The
next stop was made at the Ames monument
This monument is located at the highest alti-
tude OF any monument in the world. 1t is a
huge solid pyramid OF red granite rising to a
height of, about fifty feet. On one side are
inscribed the words: %In memory of Cakes
Ames and Oliver sAmes." On another face
Is has relief of Cakes Ames and on a
a third that of Oliver Afnes.
This monument marks the highest point
=on the Union Pacific, 8,247 feet above sea
level. = .
Stopped at Laramie for dinner. The boys
are agreed that this, town contained the
prettiest girls seen on the trip.
While here we saw>>a regiment of cow
boys raised for tho war. There were about
seventy-five men in line. OF these about five

After leaving Laramie the boys caught
sight of Elk mountain, the highest snow
capped mountain yet seen on the trip. From
here on the train ran across many enormous
droves of sheep
At Medicine Bow, Wyo., Sergeant Chris
tian and Sergeant Langdon boarded the en-
CINE and rode in the cab from there to the
town of Rawlins. During large portion of
this trip the train ran at the rate of fifty
five miles an hour.
At Rawlins we stopped for about an hour
and had supper. At this point Capt. Corris-
ton, Lieut.. Fitzgerald and Private Kingsley
took ride on the engine.
Private Kingsley tried his hand at ttfring''
for the next fifty or sixty miles. The boys
all asserted that from the time he took the
shovel the train made the slowest time on
the trip.
During this part of the ride we saw sew
eral prairie dogs and one large eagle. Moth
ing in the shape Of vegetation to be seen but
sage brush. -
Reached Rock Springs, Wyo., about $50 p.
m. Thursday we reached the prettiest
stretch of country yet seen. High snow
covered peaks. picturesque rocks, rushing
torrents and mountain streams, and Just be-
fore arriving at Ogden we came upon the
Devils Gate on one side and the Devil s
Slide on the other. Took breakfast at Og-
den, where we stopped for sixty minutes
AS the rain continued to pour the men were
not permitted to leave the train.
Ogden is the best looking town we have
reached since leaving Minneapolis and ST..
Paul. 1t has about 10000 Inhabitants AS
phalt streets. electric street railway and many
other modern improvements.

CHICKAMAUGA, Ga, May 26.-The
day has been one without special ex
element or incident and was passed
by the two Minnesota regiments in the
daily routine of drill. All of the troops
here were put through regimental drill
today. and this will be repeated daily
until officers and men are thoroughly
familiar with the movements.
The first of the Grigsby rough riders,
troops A, c, and D, recruited from the
Dakotas, arrived today. They are
under command of Maj. Freon and
there are about geo men in the bat
talon. They are a fine soldierly lot
of fellows and were warmly greeted.
They report an uneventful trip, but
tell Of lavish hospitality all along the
line.
The weather is still extremely warm,
but the Minnesota men do not seem to
be suffering very severely. The men
from the North in point Of fact, 90 not
seem to mind the drilling in hot
weather more than do those accus-
toned to Southern suns.
According to the official report posted
today in Gen. Brooke's headquarters
there are now $4,000 men in camp.
Gen. Wade's division is now COM
plete The Eighth New York. which
arrived today, was assigned to his
command.
| Since the men arrived at camp, COM
plant has been common against the
quality Of food furnished and there
was particular objection to the ID, k Of
fresh meat. This has now been rem
edied and the men who we're getting
tired Of bacon were given an abun-
dance of beef. In future it is believed
this trouble will not recur, and it is
also thought that arrangements COM
| pleted today will give all the men in
camp an ample water supply.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 26.-Just
about one regiment of volunteers will
be Minnesota's allotment under the new
call.
Congressmen Stevens spent consider
able time at the war department today
comforting with Adjt. Gen. Corbin and
other officials in relation to Minnesota
matters. Mr.. Stevens is urging on the
department the advantages Of st. Paul
as first-class horse market.
It will be some days before it is de-
cided whether Batteries A and B, the
artillery organizations of the Minnesota
national guard. are to be called out or
whether a troop Of cavalry will be ac-
cepted from the state.
EXERTING A PULL.
The new call for troops has caused
great stir among members of both
houses of congress, who have been
thronging the White house and war de-
partment to make sure of placing" a
lot Of their constituents In the official
openings thus created.
They have been much disappointed to
learn that the president has made up
his mind not to use the new men for
organizing more skeleton regiments,
but first to fill up the regiments which
were mustered in under the earlier call
with much less than their proper COM
pIement Of men.
These regiments themselves, officers
and men, are hoping for such relief.
All experienced army officers are advis-
ing It, and the presidents own judg
ment heartily approves it. 1t is going
to be hard work to Withstand congress
