AN IMPORTANT RENDEZVOUS
THE CONDOR SAILS WITH SUP
PLIES FOR MANILA TO-DAY.

With the possibility that the troops now
at the Preside may remain there Tor the
winter, the approach of the rainy season
raises serious question as TO the proper
care of the men. General Miller stated
yesterday that he would be forced to
move some of the First washington out
OF their barracks to make more room for
the division hospital and that barracks
for the troops would soon be necessity
as it was not fair 10 the men to keep them
in tents during the winter. AS soon as
General Merriam returns, II the troops are
not to go to Honolulu, shall recommend
the building of a hospital that Will &C
commodate 500 beds" said he. 1t is evil
dent that since we have annexed Hawaii
and may hold the Philippines San Fran
cisco is to be the rendezvous Tor all troops
as well as for the sick soldiers. snail
also advise the building of additional bar
racks for the men, tor they Will De
needed.
1t has been decided that the seventeen
men to be sent to join their regiments at
Manila cannot go on the Conoor, as she
is a freight steamer and has no arrange,
ments for carrying passengers. General
Miller has telegraphed for power to SEND
these men on the Coptic, when sails To-
day. If this is granted him the men will
go by way of Hongkong, at an is expense l OF
the command of Second Lieutenant L.
Gilbreth of the Fourteenth Infantry, who
goes TO join his regiment. The quarter
master Of the Third Battalion of the
Twenty-thrd Infantry has been ordered
to supply the men with the necessary
clothing.
General Miller issued an order yesterday
for all the prisoners in the various camps
who were not needed for the police duty
ant Watson, Twentieth Kansas, at 9
O'Clock this morning for duty me 1,ney are
being built back of the Kansas camp. :,
Private Harry Ganet, Company M.
Twenty-third Infantry, died at the dlvl-
sion hospital yesterday. OF typhoid pm teVer'
H. McRoberts, Company Z, t1fty-trst
Iowa Regiment, has been handed INTO
General Miller. and will no DOUBT pc ac-
cepted. No reason is assigned for the Of
ficers resignation, but it Is generally I'M
derstood that it has been brought about
by ineffciency.
California Regiment may be mustered out
here, after ali. 1t is said that Governor
Budd has changed his views, and Is now
willing to have the regiment mustered
out in San Francisco.
On the 2Sth of this month Major Gen
eral w. H. Graham will be retired by the
law. 1t Is generally understood that Cen
eral Miller will be made permanent
brigadier. Graham is the only artillery
a general officer, and it Is highly proba-
BILE that the artillery will be recognized
in the appointment of General Miller.
His appointment as a brigadier or major
general in the regular service will give
complete satisfaction to the entire army,
ard, besides. he is recognized as one of
the most efficient and brilliant officers.
General Miller will be retired next March.
Colonel Babcock, who will arrive here
from Manila on the steamer China on or
about the 2lst is to resume his former
position of adjutant general of the De-
partment of California.
The Seventh California has started
subscription for the widow of Henry
Hilderbrand, who was killed by Walter
Rosser, the young Tennessee soldier. The
men expect to raise between 5000 and $780,
and their example will probably be fol-
lowed by other regiments.
Quite a number of young men of the
Seventh California propose to go to Ma
Mia as private citizens Immediately after
being mustered out, their intention being
to engage in business there.
