LOSE HOPE OF GOING TO WAR
UNLUCKY BATTALION KEPT AT
 DRUDGERY.
Young Society Men Splitting Wood at Vancouver Barracks for Wives of Fourth Cavalry
 Officers.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, June 7.-The members of the Third Battalion, First Regiment Washington Volunteers, are thorough ly convinced that they did not enlist for a summer picnic. They originally supposed they would be given a chance to fight the Spaniards in the Philip pines.
 Their troubles began early and have materially increased until during the last few days they have been required to split wood at Vancouver Barracks and carry it into the houses of the wives of officers of the Fourth Cavalry, which left the garrison Friday. This deprived several dozen volunteers of an opportunity to drill and has caused them to give up all hope of going to the front and doing something glorious for their country.
 Among the wood-splitters are mem bers of Company c. Tacoma's crack company, which contains many young society men, including Howard Wander bilt. a cousin of Cornelius and Willie K. Vanderbilt of New York.
 This company was formerly com manded by Lieutenant Colonel Fife, now at San Francisco.
 The troubles of the Washington regi- ment began just after it assembled here. when the War Department ac cused 1t in press dispatches of being slow to get mustered in. The unjust ness of this accusation was clearly shown, the delay complained of being due to the War Departments failure to send medical examiners here. Later came reports from Washington that the regiment didn't want to go to Manila and would therefore be detailed for garrison duty. Though the accusation was again false garrison duty seems to be in store for the regiment.
 The Third Battalion has fared worse than the rest of the regiment, because it seems unlikely to get even to San Francisco. It was also hustled off to Vancouver by train without an oppor tunity for parading through the town, which the other battalions had. This was especially regretted by Tacoma citizens, who had prepared to give a large farewell demonstration to the battalion which included their home company.
 It is understood that Colonel Wholley has requested that he be ordered to San Francisco and that Lieutenant Colonel Fife be sent to Vancouver to command the Third Battalion.
