THE MOVE ON CUBA
Waiting the Result Of the Naval En-
gagement

WASHINGTON, May I'm military cir
cles it is asserted that the date for starting
the regulars from Tampa to Cuba is still
uncertain, but it is strongly hinted that it
will not be until after the Spanish fotilla
from the Cape Verde islands h as been To-
Gated and perhaps annihilated. 1t is con-
cluded, therefore, that the Tampa forces
will not sail before the middle of next
week.
Boys at the Bay
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-The Seventh
Regiment, N. G. c., from Los Angeles, ar
rived in San Francisco this morning and
were given a most enthusiastic reception
The boys from the south were met at the
ferry by Governor Budd, Major-General
John H. Dickinson, Brigadier-General War
field with their staffs, and detachment of
the National Guard Naval Battalion.
Thousands of people thronged East
street long before the boat Carrying the
men landed, and waited patiently to give
the volunteers fitting reception. When
they finally arrived and marched up Mar
ket street the widest enthusiasm prevailed
When the ferryboat bearing the volun-
teers touched the lower slip great cheer
went up from the crowd as it caught a
glimpse of blue uniforms and the glea ming
rifle barrels.
The order, Forward march," was given,
and Lieutenant Birdsall, at the head Of the
squad Of police, cleared way from the
ferry landing and led off up East street.
The bugle sounded and the Signal Corps
wheeled into fours and fell in behind the
police. Then came Troop A of the cavalry,
and after it the First Regiment band, play
ing national airs.
The Naval Battalion marched after the
band, and then came the carriages contain
Ing the general officers Of the National
Guard.
After the carriages came drum corps,
and then the Seventh Regiment, 1000 strong
under the command of Col. Berry. They
were as fine appearing a body of young men
as anyone would wish to see. Although
the twelve companies contained many new
recruits who have just been enlisted to fill
the companies out to their maximum
strength, they had all been so thoroughly
drilled that they marched like veterans.
When the first company of the regiment
emerged from the ferry building and ap-
peared on East street tremendous roar
of applause went up from the assembled
crowd, and as they marched up Market
street the applause never ceased.
Big flags were flying from the tall business
houses all over the city and from almost
every window along Market street small
flags and handkerchiefs were waved by
enthusiastic and patriotic citizens
A Virginia Camp
WASHINGTON May ION the recon.
mendation Of General Miles the Secretary
of War has selected tract of land in tho
lolw~ re Toll
for about 10000 or 10000 soldiers of the
volunteers. The camp is located at Mum
sons Hill in Fairfax county on the line
of the Southern Railroad, and extends to-
ward Fort Myer. The probability Is that
the district regiment of volunteers will
be ordered to camp in that vicinity. Either
General Wilson or General Lee is likely to
have command of this corps of the army.

the cavalry recruited in Arizona for Lieu

ment, passed through this city en- route to
San Antonio, Texas, where they will be
armed and equipped. The men had with
them their mascot, a ferocious- looking
