 The First and part of the Seventh California and the Oregon Battalion are located on low ground, that was soon cut up by the trampling feet into a veritable quagmire. An abundance of straw was provided for the tents, but this soon became saturated and last night the boys had anything but com fortable beds. The Sixth California and the Fourteenth are camped on higher ground, and consequently es- caped in a measure, but none of them had anything to boast of in the way Of dry and cleaniy quarters.
 Yesterday morning Lieutenant E. B. Rabbit, U. s. A., of the ordnance de- partment, turned over to Colonel Smith for the First Regiment $50 Springfield rifles of the 1884 model and 100000 rounds of ammunition.
 The matter of locating incoming troops at the Presidio Is receiving no little attention at the hands of the army officers There are about 5000 sol diers yet to be mobilized upon the res ervation. Lieutenant Neall said yes terday that the troops yet to arrive would be put in camp upon the slope south of the Union car line. The Spring Valley Water Company will lay pipes so that the soldiers may be plen- tifully supplied with water. Only the two battalions of Oregon troops yet to come can be placed upon the cavalry parade ground, where the troops are now encamped: that is, provided the First and Fourteenth are not ordered to leave before the others arrive. The re- maining portion of the parade ground is necessary for drill purposes. When the Washington regiment goes into camp it will be on the slope south or the First California.
 Lieutenant Charles H. Martin joined the Fourteenth Infantry yesterday and relieved Lieutenant Krauthoff, who has been acting QuartermaSter and com missary during his absence. Major Robe has relieved Colonel Morris of the sentry duty done by the Presidio sol diers on post No. 1, which is where the car line stops. He has placed his own men on duty upon this post
 Colonel Yoran of the Oregon volun- teers, Colonel Berry of the Seventh and Colonel Johnson of the Sixth California have received no information as to when their commands may be expected to leave.
 Adiutant General Barrett and Colonel Burgin of the Governors staff visited the commanders and commissioned offi- cers of the California volunteers yes terday and delivered to them their com missions signed by the Governor.

Most of the men are destitute of such clothing as Is absolutely necessary for such a campaign as lies before them, and even the regulars, who are commonly SUD- posed to be fully equipped for any emer- gency, are poorly prepared for a so- journ on the Asiatic coast.
 It requires time to supply all these articles for so many men, and more over, 1t will be necessary to mobilize the troops into something more than mere regimental and battalion forna- tions before they can be dispatched to face the enemy. That, also, requires time, and as yet there is nobody here to undertake this highly important task.

JUMPED TO
 ESCAPE ARREST Annie Meyer Made a Desperate Effort to Elude the
 Police.
AS a Domestic She Robbed Her Em- ployers and Pawned the
 Stolen Property.

A young woman giving her name as Annie Meyers was arrested last night by Detective Anthony and Policeman T. F. Reardon after an exciting chase and locked up in the City Prison on a charge of grand larceny. Several weeks ago the woman hired out as servant with the family of A. Max, at 416 McAlliSter street. During the temporary absence of the fam fly she stole about S400 worth Of JeWelry belonging to Mrs. Max and disposed of 1t 10 Third street pawn broker She then left the house, after breaking the rear window, so as to lead Mrs. Max to be- lieve that burglars had broken into the house and carried off her jewelry.
 Anthony and Reardon learned that she was living in house at Fifth and Clementina streets, and last night they proceeded to arrest her. As they entered the house the woman was walking down stairs intending to buy loaf of bread. Catching a glimpse of the officers, she darted back into the house, followed by them. She ran to the rear porch, and in her desperate attempt to escape arrest she jumped to the ground below, dis tance of about thirty feet She then scaled high board fence and entered barber shop adjoining. Reardon followed her, hiding in a closet in the rear of the shop. How the desperate woman escaped being injured by the jump puzzled the officers. They say that after she struck and then fell over as if severely hurt

 Then there are the transports. A board of army officers inspected the vessels under charter, Saturday, and found that every one of them will re- qufre more or less alteration to fit them for the purpose. The vessels that have been used on the Central American run will require considerable overhauling, and even the Peking, which the depart ment thought could get away tonight, must be arranged for the large number of men she Is to carry. The soldiers, it must be remembered, will be on board ship nearly, If not quite a month. and they cannot be herded between decks as they might be for a trip across the bay.
 No orders of any description have been received by the regular officers, and it is regarded as certain that. part of the regular troops will get out on the first ship. The Fourteenth Infantry, Fourth Cavalry and Third Artillery are all recruiting up to their maximum, and their officers regard it as highly improbable that they will be ordered away before their ranks are filled. In addition to the battalion of the Four teenth now here. it is the expectation that four more companies will be re- cruited before any move is made, though no orders have yet been receiv- ed to this effect. While nominally ten company regiment, two companies are skeletons" that Is there are no men in them, and the officers are on de- tached service. These must be entirely recruited as well as the two new com panies provided for in the reorganiza- ton law giving twelve companies to each regin- mt.
