 General Merritt spent yesterday in ac- quainting himself with the situation and encamped in San Francisco, his informa- ton being furnished to him by Brigader- General k. s. Otis, who has had charge of all affairs connected with the Philip pines at this point up to yesterday. No time has yet been set for the dispatching of the second expedition to Manila It is predicted that it will sail inside of two time to properly equip the forces and get the transports in good condition and load ed with supplies.
 General E. S. Otis, who is to go with the second expedition, has not yet moved his headquarters to Camp Richmond, but will tents for himself and staff are all ready for occupancy.
 The first regiment of Montana volun- teers, consisting of about 900 men, will arrive in San Francisco about o'clock this morning and proceed to Camp Rich mond
 The Eighteenth and Twenty-third regi- ments of the regular infantry will reach San Francisco from New Orleans some time tomorrow morning, and will also go direct to Camp Richmond, where all the forces destined for the Philippines are being massed

THE SEVENTH SELECTED
Troops From the Southern Part of the State Will Go
 With the Next Expedition.

The gallant Seventh will form part of the second detachment of troops to be dispatched to the Philippines. While no orders have been issued to that effect, it is known that General OtIs Is greatly pleased with the splendid body of men brought up from Southern California by Colonel Berry, and while the colonel is discreetly silent, it is believed he has re- cetved assurances from General Otis that his command will be one of those selected to go out on the next transports to sail to Dewey's relief.
 The Seventh California is now com pletely equipped and ready to move at a moments notice. It Is splendidly drilled and composed of great, strapping fellows capable of enduring any amount of cam paigning in the trying climate of the t,rlent Reared in tropicaI CauIornla. the heat of the Philippines has no terrors for them With two full infantry regiments and a detachment of. artillery selected from her offering to the cause for the first expedition, California may well feel proud of the compliment paid her sons by the discerning army officers.
The San Francisco call., 1898-05-28

The question of which regiment, or reg iments, will compose the next expedition ary force to Manila is the all-absorbtng topic of discussion among the officers and enlisted men of the various com mands now encamped at Camp Richmond. Nearly all of the different commanC CTS declare that their commands are pr$tc- tically equipped for field service or vfll be in a short time As a matter of fact, however it is well known that not more
 than two regiments are In shape for i'm
 mediate service, and even these are lack
 ing in some of their supplies. Nearly
 all of the acquisitions have been hlec
 with the department Guartermaster, but
 the sudden rush of orders that have flood
 ed this department have sorely taxed it's
 capacity, and 1t will be at least three
 weeks before all of the troops here are
 thoroughly equipped and ready TOT the
 field.
 When questioned as to the chances of
 their command going with the next ex-
 petition the various commanders LOOK
 ever, despite the many current rumors
 to the contrary that at present the Gov
 ernment has not definitely decided what
 troops will go on the next expedition.
 While the ability, length of time in ser
 vice and experience of commanding or
 ficers of the various commands, VIII nave
 next convoy of troops, still the main
 question that will be considered will De a regiment or battalion's state of equip
 ment and with the choice brought down
 to this basis the indications are that the
 Seventh California. First Colorado, the
 Light Battery from Utah and the F1rst
 Troop of Cavalry from the same State
 will be among the favored commands:
 Tomorrow night will practically see the
 Seventh Regiment completely equipped,
 while the acquisitions of the First Colo
 rado will be filled by the middle of next
 week.
 It Is known that 1t Is the intention of
 the Government to send troop Of cav airy to Manila with the next expedition, but 1t has not yet been determined whether the selected troopers will take their horses with them or purchase others there. Captain Gaines Utah troopers are equipped with the exception. of re- volvers The troop also has fund or
 $500 and an order from the Alta Club or
 Salt Lake City to draw TOT any d amour, quit clothing. and about 1000 rounds or am nunition. From this 1t would seem that the troops named will be the ones to go sails In the near future, and the arrival of the regulars does not alter what now appears to be the slate as prepared oy the department commander:
 The First Wyoming Battalion has its reouisitions in and needs about 300 pairs of shoes, 250 suits of underwear and 12O,- 900 rounds of ammunition to complete its equipment.
 sylvania forces have their acquisitions in, and of these the Kansas soldiers are un- doubtedly In the most pressing need of clothes, shoes and underwear. Colonel Little admits that his men need these supplies, but he indignantly denies the rumors that his men are starving. The Government has supplied all troops now in camp with abundant and sufficient ra- tions, and there Is no lack of food. while the donations of the Red Cross and good citizens generally have given every man

Major General Wesley Merritt, U. s. A., yesterday took command of the newly created Department of the Pa cific and established his headquarters at the Palace Hotel.
 Orders will be immediately issued directing the organization of United States troops for service in the Phil ippines.
 Colonel John B. Babcock, D. s. A., adjutant general and chief of staff, arrived from the East last evening and will assume the duties of his new position to-day.
 The transports under charter of the Government for the second Ma nila expedition are the Zealandia, China, Colon, Centennial, Ohio and Peter Jebsen. The China arrived from the Orient yesterday.

The shoe men of the city offered to supply the Govern ment a regulation shoe in nVe oays at about 15OO pairs per day, but their offer was rejected. yet they did not hesitate to donate to the Kansas boys The con- tributorS were:
 Tinted Workingmen B. & s.

 Charles Brown & Son also generously responded to the call for 100 tin cups and other hardware for the same regiment.
 To these, as we'll as to the many other donors, the officers, for themselves and their men, wish to express their heartiest thanks.
 There are only rare exceptions where merchants fail to respond with liberal contributions. Cots and mattresses for the sick seem to be one of the crying needs for nearly all the companies in camp.
