CALIFORNIA'S QUOTA.
A Rather Puzzlinq Telegram Received by Governor Budd
 From Secretary of War.

Governor Budd yesterday received a dispatch from the Secretary of War stat ing that it Is estimated that 1t will require 1076 men to bring the California organiza- tions already mustered in up to the maxi mum strength, and asking if that num- Der of volunteers could be furnished. Adjutant-General Barrett, to whom the telegram was referred, replied in the af- f1rmative, adding that many more could be supplied and that they could be fully equipped and uniformed at once
 Under the second call for volunteers the quota of California was figured out to be 1942 men. The call. therefore. for 1076 is somewhat puZzling. It may mean that the balance of the 1922 will be required, after the 1076 have been disposed of in bringing up the various companies from S4 to 103 men, although to do this it Is figured out that 1t will only take sos. Cap tain Darlington, the mastering officer, has sworn into the service 3339 men up to the present time.
 Adjutant-General Barrett in a later dis patch to the Secretary of War assured that official that California could at once furnish seventeen companies of infantry and three troops of cavalry, and that all were anxious for active service.

NEEDS OF THE RED CROSS.
Donations of All Kinds Solicited
 for the Boys.

. The ladies of the Red Cross Society are again in need of flannel for soldiers bandages. their supply having been ex- hausted by the number they have made during the past week, yet many more are required.
 They wish to suggest to those ladies forming clubs for the purpose of making them at their homes. that material can De obtained from the woolen mills al whoLe- eL sale rates, also that natural gray IS the most desirable color, and that instructions or patterns can be had at the rooms or the society 16 Post street.
 An article which might be contriDuted by those who prefer to make variety or donations, is the invalid s slipper or eioer- down flannel, several pairs or Wnlco nTSe TS been sent in by thoughtful ladies. The manner of making these slippers IS most simple. and they add wonderfully to the comfort of convaiescents. WhHe ihaIiy will doubtless find that they already nave the material for several pairs on hand
 A few other suggestions regarding the articles sent for distribution, and wnicn add so much to a soldier comfort. may not be amiss All the old magazines or books consigned to upper closet shelves will if sent to the rooms or this society, be sorted tied into neat and uniform par cels for transportation. and help to While away many an otherwise lonesome hour for our boys. ,,
 Everything in the way of hospital sup nlies are needed. and your family physt- elan or druggist will give you ist or what these should be- ,s,
 In making the uSe1ul uouSeWilos SO many of which are required, 1t Is well to remember that like its owner. 1t may know long. hard service. therefore, strong. dark material is preferable to the flimsv. though pretty, lighter silk so many are tempted to make use of.

CAMP RICHMOND.
All the Troops sAbundantly Sup
 piled With Wholesome

Brigadier-General II. G. Otis of Los An geles, who has just received his appoint ment from President Mckinley, visited Camp Richmond yesterday and made al informal call upon Colonel Berry. The general inspected the Seventh's camp anC visited the others. His visit had no sig nificance, and Colonel Berry stated tha military matters were not discussed
 Captain Mallory of General Otis staff was busy yesterday inspecting the ord nance of the various commands; Major Moore also accompanied him. He was Tout for the purpose of supervising the erection of the field hospital which is in course of construction.
 General E. s. Otis headuuarters have been erected. and he will probably assume charge Tomorrow. but none of the officers seems to have any definite idea of the exact day when lie W44I establish h.msel1 in his rev 0T1nla nd
 Colonel Little of the Twentieth Kansas IS uelerlnlneu tIlS command snail have a band. He made the necessary reouisi- tfons for instruments, but these were dis approved by the Government so Colonel Little wired the Mayors of the different Kansas towns from which the regiment comes asking for donations with which to buy instruments. The replies were quick ana numerous, and so far the following amounts nave been received: Minneapolis S2O, Abilene $40. Paola $50, Fort Scott 80 Lawrence S150, Salina $50 Ottawa Sl00 The generous response of the citizens of hdIlSdS IS greatly appreciated by the regi- ment.
 The Thirteenth Minnesota received q lot of clothing supplies yesterday, and the tlrst Wyoming Battalion was issued ten days emergency rations.
 The band of the First Colorado will erf,,a concert at o'clock this afternoon. The Minnesota regiment gave a regimentaI parade on Point Lobos avenue yesterday afternoon The recruiting of the Four teenth Infantry continues quite lively. and Lieutenant Hunt is getting in men as fast as he can have them examined
 The colonels of the various commands are highly indignant over the published report that the men of Camp Richmond are starving. Many of the men are sick from being overfed; in fact they cannot eat that which Is given them. so numer- ouS are the donations that are daily re- ceived. Tn addition to what is given the soldiers by the people, they are abundant ly supplied with wholesome rations by the Government.
 The condition of Private Sharpe of Com pany H, Seventh Regiment, who Is i'll in the French Hospital with pneumonia, re- mains unchanged. A private from Com pany E was taken to the hospital yester- day. He is i'll with meningitis.
 Under the Presidents call for additional troops 1t seems to be the opinion of off, cers that instead of forming new regi- ments. the present ones will be enlarged, that is. that the additional quota from each State will be absorbed by the pres ent organizations. This will mean an in- crease in each company of twenty-five men.

and staff at Camp Richmond are about completed for their reception. The com niture and conveniences, including tele- phone and telegraphic connections. It Is the desire of General Otis to be located at the camp as soon as possible, so that he can inaugurate a strict military disci- pline and have all the troops destined for the Philippines thoroughly instructed in their duties.
 colonel d. B. Babcock, who arrived on Friday evening from Florida, yesterday entered upon the discharge of his duties as adjutant general on General Merritt s staff. He is well known in San Francisco, having served for a long time as adjutant on the staff of General Shafter, who had command of the Department of Cali fornia-

THE HAWsERs DELIVERED
Tow the Monterey to Manila Com cd

The twelve-inch Manila hawsers that
 are to be used to tow the monitor Mon
 terey to the Philippines were delivered to the commandant Of the navy-yard yester- day. The prompt delivery of the great
 ropes to the Navy Department was some
 what of a surprise to the officers of the
 yard as they were of the opinion that there was no factory on the Pacific Coast
 that was capable of turning out such
 hawsers on such short notice. On Thurs
 day forenoon the officers of the navy yard, after it was determined to send the Monterey to Manila, began to arrange for the towing of the vessel part of the way
 to the port Dewey had succeeded in clearing of Spaniards. Large and specially made hawsers were required. By noon of that day the Tubbs Cordage Company was asked if such work could be done on the coast and what time would be re- quired to fill the order. With the inquiry was special request to the effect that it would be d great favor If the hawsers could be completed by Monday night Half an hour later an answer was gwen stating that the work could be done on the coast and that the haWsers could be delivered by o'clock on Saturday. At ? o'clock on Thursday the order was given for the hawSerS, and yesterday afternoon they were delivered. The great crane st ;he navy-yard lifted them from the deck of the tug Reliance few minutes before 4 O clock, ana as they swung onto the dock inc sailors and marines of the few ves- sels at the yard cheered the manufactur- CTS again and again for the prompt re- sponsc to the emergency order during these war times.
 The delivery of the hawsers was made the occasion of an excursion by the en- ployes of the Tubbs Cordagc Company The factory was closed for the day, and three tugs were employed to take them all to the nayy-yard and cheer at the delivery of the great ropes that grew out of the work of their hands. Each of the three great hawsers measured 1900 feet in length, and the weight of each of them was 520O pounds. All three of them were loaded on the Reliance, and the Sea Queen and Sea King carried most of the employees of the factory. Most of the off, ficers and invited friends of the company went on the Romance. and all three tugs were gayly dressed for the occasion.
 The officers at the navy-yard place great faith in the Manila hawsers for towing purposes manufactured by the Tubbs Cordage Company. In tests they have proved to be superior to anything the navy has yet been able to secure, and

GENERALS CONSULT.
The Work of Quitting the Sec Ond Manila Expedition to Be
 ViCOrOusly Pushed.

Major-General Wesley Merritt spent the greater part of yesterday in consultation with Brigadier-General Elwell S. Otis
 who Is to command the second Manila ex- petition. The plans of the expedition were thoroughly discussed and the neces- sary work was mapped out. There Is a great deal to be done In the way of equip- ping the volunteers, who, above all things, need a large quantity of proper clothing, and many of them must be sup piled with arms. The work of equipment will in itself take considerable time, and hence the date O. the sailing of the trans ports cannot as yet be definitely fixed
 1t Is safe to say, however. that the ex- petition will not be ready to sail In less
