+" THE CALLS
EARLY CALL

It was not the sharp notes of a bugle
which sounded reveille for the boys of the
First California Regiment yesterday.
Three blasts of the siren on the tug FEAR
less awakened them from their slumber
and their dreams of home and sent them
pell-mel up the companion ways to the
upper deck. They found the tug along
side, laden with thousands Of copies of
The Call of yesterday morning, all kinds
of fruit and quantity of cigarettes,
which the thoughtfulness of The Call
management had sent them.
The men were hatless and coatless, and
made their appearance rubbing the slum-
Der from their eyes. They We're soon
made acquainted with the mission of The
Call reporters, and the work of transfer
ring the delicaces from the tug to the
transport was soon under way. Their
first consideration was the paper itself,
which told of the bravery of the men in
action, of their gallant officers and their
heroic dead. Loud We're the expressions
the beauty of the illustrations and the
literary excellence of the text. Lights
cleaned through many cabin windows,
from which could be seen the soldier
boys, scanning the paper with interest.
The news section, containing the latest
information regarding the plans for their
reception and entertainment also caught
their attention.
The cigarettes We're particularly accept
able after the villanous Manila cigars
the boys have been forced to use dur
ing their stay in the Philippines. Then
there were peaches, grapes. cantaloupes
and other fruit, which were welcomed
after the steady diet of stew, stew stew,
against which they have such vigorous
protests to make. The fruit, consisting
of twenty cases, was the gift Of number
of commission merchants, for whom The
Call acted as almoner.
Most treasured of all the articles car
ried to the Sherman was huge American

able for. the occasion The flag foated
on the breeze as the great transport
glided slowly into the harbor late in the
day.
The thoughts of the volunteers recur
constantly to the friends and relatives
who have awaited their coming these
many days. There are anxious inquiries
for mothers and sisters, and yet others
whose names are mentioned with diff
dence. Shut off as the men have been
from civilization for so long a period,
they feel that all persons know those
who are near and dear to them.
The distribution of the articles was
taken in hand by Lieutenant Albert
Adler, who dispensed them among the

CITY WENT WILD
WITH THE NIGHT

If Joy is intoxicating San Francisco was
on a terrible time last night. 1t was sat
urated with patriotism and enthusiastic
to the point of Mysteries. The town never
before felt as 1t did yesterday. 1t was
never so thoroughly imbued with happi-
ness or SO completely satisfied with itself.
When the Sherman was sighted the ex-
citement began. When the ship came
through the Golden Gate feeling of wild
exhflaration took possession of the peo-
pie but 1t was not until the night wore
on that the city went wild. Everybody
turned out. everybody shouted and every
body tried to outdo his fellow in outland-
ish antics and unheard-of modes of mani
Testing his joy.
While it was yet daylight crowds wend-
ed their way toward the water front and
the ferry depot. Some sought a glimpse
of the transport and the chance of few
words of greeting to a relative or friend
among the soldier boys aboard. Others
were attracted by the bay illumination
and the thousands of electric lights glis-
tening in all their grandeur on the ferry
depot, tower Many n, we! went BE because asE the ne
the stream Of humanity and were carried
along with the current
From whence all that vast multitude
came no one could venture to say. And
what became Of those countless thou
sands? The march was all in one direc-
tion-ali toward the cityS water front.
There was apparently no countermarch.
That crowd spread along the docks and
wharves until the front was a surging
mass of humanity, and there it remained.
cheering itself hoarse until far into the
night.
The promenade was not confined to the
sidewalks From curb to curb the street
was filled with pedestrians. At one time
it appeared that the water front had been
filed to the limit, and the ever increasing
and never ending stream of people crowd
ed Market street as far up as Third, and
the onward march was stopped. A string
of cable cars reached from the ferry to a
point beyond the Claus Spreckels build
ing. They were jammed to the limit with
human freight, even the tops being black
with people.
When it appeared that the progress, of
the procession had been stopped for The
night the ranks down by the ferry broke
away, and on, on, on continued the prom
enade. Every cable car carried load to
the ferry and returned to the outlying dis
tricts without passenger.
This procession marched to odd music.
The discordant noise from fish horns, COW
bells and rattleS was what the crowd
wanted and was just what it got. The
mingled tinkle and toot and screech from
the endless number of noise-producfng
contrivances would have driven the city
crazy on any other occasion.

cred at the city front yesterday. Ten
thousand or more of these went out on
the various excursion boats, while the rest
contented themselves by appropriating
points of vantage along the ends Of the
piers and wherever they could get foot
hold. The irrepressible small boy was seen
in large numbers everywhere and in any
old place. The rigging of deep water ships
lying at the docks was weighted down by
a mass Of humanity, and no position no
matter howperilous it may have been, put
had it's quota of interested spectators.
The most astonishing feature of this i'm
mense gathering, which brayed many dis
comforts to help in the hearty welcome to
the returning heroes, is that not a single
accident occurred to mar the enjoyment
of the day. Only few minor cases were
treated at the Harbor Hospital, and of
these only two were taken from the water
front. One individual. in the excess of
his enthusiasm and exuberance of spirit
was brought in fainting, but rapidly re-
covered. Another was treated for the
common complaint, foreign body in the
eye" but the enemy was dislodged in

Immediately followed by the order to

water front like a shadow, the wharves
disappearing from sight rapidly in the
gray mist of the morning. The run out
was made in less than forty-tive minutes,
Engineer Driscoll acting well his part:
Captain Marshall's daughters accom-
panied him and found many friends
among the soldiers. They retailed to them
innocent gossip about mutual acquaint-
ances for which the boys naturally crave
after their long absence from home.

SOLDIER AND
WIFE EMBRACE

Standing on the bridge of the Sherman
Colonel Victor D. Duboce watched with
strained eyes the approach of the Gov
ernor Markham. He had been told the
night before that his wife, whom he had
not seen in more than year, was to be
on the tug. The commander of the First
California, his glasses glued to his eyes,
saw a figure on the top of the pilot box,
and no longer than a trice was Colonel
Duboce on the Shermans bridge. He de-
scended in hasty steps to the upper deck
wife should reach hailing distance.
Mrs. Duboce as soon as she caught sight
of the transport began waving her hand
kerchef in ecstatic delight. Soldiers on
the Sherman who had never met nor seen
Mrs. Duboce wanted to know who she
was, for it was apparent that this woman
had more than the ordinary interest In
the return of the volunteers.
Passing close to the transport the Mark

everything goes, especially when Johnnie
is California's own.
But noise is not all that went with the
crowd. There was a great display OF
patriotism as well. Inc man was lonesome
indeed who did not carry flag and the
women were bedecked from head TO foot
with the national colors.
The street faker was in his element The
man with the flags sold out early in the
night and gave way to the boy with the
buttons and badges. Trade thrived with
the youngsters, and they in turn retired
in favor of the latest creation in street
fakers-the megaphone man. Everybody
bought one of the cardboard contrivances
and marched to the front to shout greet
ings to the boys on the transport. To-day
the soldiers will hear from the mega
phones again.
And what of to-day? If last nights out
pouring and display of enthusiasm, pa
triotism and joy did not reach the limit.
then the demonstration of this morning
will truly be such a welcome as soldiers
never received before.

CROWDS GATHER
AT THE WHARVES

'The world, his wife and all his children
are out to-day" remarked an old water
front habtue as he watched the crowds of
people scurrying toward the wharves from
early morning yesterday until the time ior
the marine display.
Il have never seen anything to equal it,
continued this frequenter of the bilge

rendered to General Grant after his
famous trip around the world. 1t un-
doubtedly eclipses that memorable occa-
sion, both in point of numbers and in the
enthusiasm displayed by the spectators. !"
