LOYAL LADS OF TENNESSEE.
THEY ARRIVED AND DEPARTED
WITH A WHOOP.
-Four TrainIoads Of Volunteers for
Manila Fed by Sacra-
mento Citizens.

owing to long and frequent stops at
towns along the road the first trainload
or the First Regiment of Tennessee
United States Volunteers did not reach
sacramento until 1890 p. m. yester-
day.
The regiment is commanded by Colo
mel w. c. Smith, who, together with
the regimental band, was with the first
battalion, commanded by Major Alfred
Bayless.
Probably LOCO people were assembled
at the depot to welcome the Tennessee
troops, and the latter, While not allow
ed to leave the train, appreciated the
welcome accorded them. The soldiers
spoke of their regiment as being from
Middle Tennessee, and the start was
made from Nashville on Friday even
ing last
The Tennessee soldiers are nearly all
young fellows, and even the officers
seem TO be scarcely more than boys.
There was nothing in their manners
nor speech to mark them as coming
from south of the Mason and Dixon
line, and placed alongside the Iowa
troops who passed through last week,
there would appear to be no difference.
The regiment, however, was not COM
pletely equipped, many of the men be-
ing without uniforms. In number of
instances soldiers in citizens clothes
We're performing guard duty.
In response to the call issued by the
ladies of the Red Cross Society, the
dining room at the depot was piled high
with provisions of all kinds. The sa-
worry sandwich proba bly, held the place
of honor, but it was closely followed by
the succulent radish and the pungent
onion, and these vegetables were law
ishly distributed to the soldier boys
from the South. Boxes of cherries,
peaches, oranges and other fruits We're
also distributed. and baskets and bask
cts of flowers We're tossed into the cars.
The people of Sacramento met the
call for edibles with their usual gener-
osity and dispatch, and among those
who responded We're: Marco ReStaur-

The Tennessee boys entered Sacra-
mento with a yell. and it was kept up
throughout their stay. They yelled in
dividually and collectively-at things
new to them, if such We're in sight, and
at one another if nothing else appeared
to yell at
Coffee. rich and creamy, was carried
through the cars and disappeared as if
by magic, but the supply was sufficient
for ALL and when the boys in the cars
learned that the Red Cross Society was
behind their reception. somebody pro-
posed three cheers for that organiZa-
tion and they We're given with hearty
good will The tiger" was the most
emphatic growl heard here for years,
and laid that of the Minnesota Volun-

band. The first air was as old as the
State of Tennessee (nearly). and was

so popular that it was whistled by ev-

The next effort was a march from
