SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 12-(SpeciaI)
The camp of the Thirteenth Minnesota
regiment was the center of attraction
at the Preside today, both in the morning
and in the evening. The men received
$40 each in the morning from Adjt Gen.
Lambert of Minnesota, for their serv-
ices at Camp Ramsey, and were as happy
as school boys, the money coming at a
most opportune time. This afternoon
Gov. Lind and his staff reviewed the
regiment on the Preside parade ground
in the presence of many thousand spec
tators. The sun was shining bright to-
day for the first time since Saturday,
and the men were busy all the morning
cleaning their clothes and arms. At $50

rious streets Of the camp and the fine

Thousands of recruits lined the route
and cheered the splendid appearance of

crowds of spectators.

companies with the colurs receiving an

praise at the magnificent appearance of
the men. Maj. Bean made many friends
here last year and many of them were
present at the review. Col. Ames and
Maj. Bean share in the popularity of the
regiment. which is we'll deserved. go

the regiment will appear as a body in
the service Of the United States, unless
ordered out for escort duty.
CHEERS FOR ALL
The review was witnessed by St Paul
and Minneapolis delegations, the wives of
the officers of the regiment and many
others from st. Paul. After the formal
ceremonies We're over the men assembled
around Col. Ames' tent. and cheered the
colonel, Gov Lind and Maj. Bean. The
governor, his staff and the colors were
photographed, Col Ames' little boy and
the governors wife and daughter being
included in the group.
Before Gov. Lind left camp he talked
with Maj Bean. who, in the name of the
regiment, asked Gov. Lind to telegraph
to the war department for permission for
the regiment to take it's arms home so
as to present a soldierly appearance. If
the request is granted the arms will be
surrendered to the commander of the de-
partnent of the Dakotas at st. Paul.
Gov. Lind has telegraphed as requested.
The officers of the regiment deny the
story sent to Minneapolis today that Pri-
vate Taggart died because he was kept
on the firing line in the Philippines by
Lieut.. Carleton. They say there is moth
ing to the story, and that Taggart died
from natural causes, and that nothing
could save him
The pay rolls for August are now ap-
preaching completion, and will go to
headquarters in the morning. The men
will get pay there on Friday. Tomorrow
the First Californians will entertain the
Thirteenth Minnesota, and the affair
promises to be most pleasant.
The question whether the regiments are
to be mustered out and paid under the
new army law is a vital one. IF under
the new law, 1t means a larger number
of officers for the regiment
There is no change In the situation In
the South Dakota camp. Gov. Lee was in
the camp this afternoon, and consulted
Col. Frost. Every means is being taken
to prevent q court-martial of the officers
under arrest, but Col Frost will insist
that the law take its course.
AMES WILL REMAIN
There is no prospect at present that
Col. AmeS Will resign his command OF
the Thirteenth Minnesota He win not
do so unless he is asked by the governor,
and that official has thus far shown
no disposition to interfere.
The governor said today that he had
not been officially advised that there
were any differences among the officers
of the regiment, and until he had been
he would do nothing. Further than this
he declined to discuss the subject.
The indications now are that the eff
forts of the home delegations to patch
up a truce until the regiment is mus
tered out have been successful, and that
the entente cordiale has been restored
among the regimental officers. The story
that both Maj. Bean and Col Ames hav9
expressed a willingness to resign at any
moment is untrue.
Both officers and men seem imhued
with but one idea, viz: To get out OF
the service and return home as soon as
possible Several sergeants are so
anxious to get in readiness that they
began calling in ordnance this morn
Ing. They were stopped, however, as
an effort is making to have the war de-
partment grant permission for the men
to take their rifles back to the state
with them for the parade and review by
the president.
