 According to telegraphic advlces re- ceived at department headquarters m | coming regiments will arrive as fol- i lows:
 The Thirteenth Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. which left St. Paul at 9:3O l o'clock on Monday evening last, Is que | 10 arrive in San Francisco Friday evening, May 20 Volunteers, that left Lincoln at p. m. | last Monday, is due to reach this city Thursday May 19. The schedule originally placed this regiment to ar | rive next Friday, but a telegram was received at headquarters yesterday saying that the command would get | here Thursday.
 The Twentieth Regiment of Kansas Volunteers left Topeka at p. m. last Monday. via the Union and Central Pacific railways The schedule at headquarters provides that the regl- ment shall arrive in San Francisco next Thursday night or Friday morn ing.
 The Regiment of Colorado Volun- | teers is slated to arrive next Friday.
 The duty of receiving the volunteers and directing them to their quarters 1 devolves upon Lieutenant Thomas G. | Carson, Fourth United States Cavalry, post adjutant, Presidio. He received 1 the Washington Volunteers yesterday and directed them to their quarters in 1 the Fontana Barracks. The troops from points east of the Rocky Noun | tains assigned to quarters at the Bay District will probably march along Market street and Golden Gate avenue to the camp ground on First avenue.
 Information is wanted that will lead
 to the finding of George Brown of Texas, a recruit of the Third United States Artillery, enlisted May Il, 1898.
 He left for the Presidio the same day under a misapprehension and in good l faith and through no fault of his own. Unless he Is found, however, charge of desertion against him will probably have to be registered AS the matter now stands, he is absent without leave. He may either return to the recruiting i office, Phelan building, or to the head quarters of his regiment at the Presidio, and he need not, of course, fear punishment. He is 5 | feet 8 inches high, dark brown hair, | ruddy complexion, light blue eyes l slender but strong physique and smooth shaven. It is feared that the young recruit on his way to the Pres | 1fo. after having been accepted by the United States army surgeon, may have | fallen in with some of the recently matched volunteer surgeons and been | rejected.
 An important telegram received by 1 Adjutant General A. W. Barrett yes terday indicates that the efforts made 1 by Governor Budd to have the Signal l Corps of the California National Guard l enlisted with the volunteers from this 1 State will be realized, and that Cali | fornia's quota will be increased by the | addition of one of the most important 1 branches Of the service in the field.
