ever in the provisional regiment being re-

rapidly filed. General Vizquain, who has
charge of the enlistment, has made an eff
fort to obtain men who promise to develop
the qualities necessary to soldier and it is
expected the number thrown cut on exam
ination will be very small. Colonel Bryan

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May 21.-It appears
to be settled that the rough riders will not
leave here in much less than week. The
regiment is already thoroughly organized,
but week of steady drilling will be Of the
utmost value to the men. The distribution
of carbines and revolvers among the rough
riders has about been completed. The men
have also been supplied with machetes. The
machete was chosen for the regiment in
stead of the regular cavalry saber, not only
because it is a more terrible weapon, but
because it can be used to great advantage
by the troops in slashing their way through
the underbruSh in Cuba.

Time and again batter would step to the plate only to return to his seat crestfallen at the ludi- crous figure he cut while trying to con- meet with those wonderful shoots. Twelve men were retired on strikes and but five Athenians were able to connect safely. <
 Sacramento might have won, however. with any other pitcher fin the box, as the Oakland team played like so many school boys. Nearly every man on the team was guilty of yellow fielding, ten large and rotumd errors being the main cause of their defeat.
 How Smiling Mike Steffani can pitch for two hines without being released was a matter that puzzled many yesterday. Mike has, since the opening of the season. cast his fortunes with the San Jose con tingent, but in yesterdays game he twirled for Oakland as If his life depended on victory. Sad to relate his smile dis appeared when the hard hitting crowd that composes the Capital City team got to work Aided by three bases on ba.-s, twelve hits and ten errors they landed nine runs. Home runs, three baggers, two cushions and singles were tapped off at will, but Steffani stayed 1t out, gaining some conso.~uon by hitting Dennei and Hughes.

In the early part of last week brother attaches of the various consulates of this city were surprised by the receipt of pour prendre conge" cards. sent out by the man who represents a country not now on lowing terms with us
 Ordinarily the ethics of the consular system imposes the distribution of these P. P. C. favors only wher con- sul retires, is recalled or departs the country on a protracted or uncertain journey. This is what has caused in the minds of the consular fraternity many misgivings and stupendous conjectures. Does the Spanish consul know the proper forms thoroughly. or has he been called to Washington by the voice of the Spanish minister domiciled there? The latter is the solution of the problem suggested by many.
 Opinion is strong in consular circles that Felipe de Castro has left san Francisco for Washington.
