Armory this evening at 7:3O for the
purpose of reporting for duty in the
National Guard of California, under
the provisions of the Act of the Leg
islature approved March u, 1899.
Under General Orders No. 5, issued
from the Adjutant Generals office
(Which order was published in full in

not expired, and who did not enter the
United States volunteer service, to re-
port for duty with the respective or
CARNATIONS.
1t is urgently requested that all old
members of the troop be in attendance,
also members of volunteer organiza-
tons who We're not members of the
guard Under the law it is provided
that those members of the California
Volunteers who were not members of
the National Guard, in order to join the
guard, must enlist therein, as provided

sire to enlist. This is but fitting rec
ognition of the service of the California
volunteer and the commentator of
the Commander-in-Ch Chief is extended to
officers and members of the California

displayed by them in the Spanish
American War, and they should be en-

Crops in Redwood county continue in
an excellent growing condition. Nearly
all of the wheat in the country has
headed out in part. For some fields.
those that We're either sowed late or
had been used for pasture purposes in
early spring, there are reports OF rust;
but up to date this complaint has not
been serious. Barley is exceptionally
heavy, and many fields have lodged
badly, ard it is doubtful if the harvest
er will be able to pick up over 60 or 10
per cent Of it. Tho oat crop is likewise
large and heavy. but it. too, is lodged
iii some fields. Flax is in excellent con-
dition, except Oh low ground where the
water has drowned it out. Corn never
looked better, and if the old adage,
Corn knee-high on July A. holds good.
there will be good crop this year, for
every field in the country seen in a
days ride by your correspondent was
far above the knee, and some fields
were three feet high. The first pointer
of harvesting comes from harvesting
firm desiring to give an exhibition OF a
Il machine it has for sale, and which
firm advertises a big field trial to occur

Thursday. Barley will be the crop

San Francisco, July 15.-Advices re-
ceived by the transport Newport, dated
Manila. June II, are as follows:
The volunteers are greatly debilita-
ted In consequence of thei hard cam
paigning throughout three months of
tropical weather. Since the middle of
made no volunteer has had a sick list
OF less than Osper cent. Most of them
at the present date had 25 per cent ill,
and a few regiments have less than
one-thtrd OF their number on duty.
The Nebraska regiment has suffered
the worst. 1t came in from San Fer
nando few days ago with less than
2OO men In the ranks. Some of Its
companies have only two sets of fours.
The South Dakota followed ycster-
day with 275 men on duty.
Inc Montana and Kansas regiments
at San Fernando have not more than
$50 men available each.
The morning after the Washington
troops took Morong, week ago, only
Z6S men responded to roll call. The
washington men have been engaged
since March IL in preventing the in
surgent armies of the north and south
from forming a junction in the region
of Laguna do Bay, often being engaged
at the same time with the enemy in
opposite directions.
Twenty-fOur Of the Nebraska oMcers
are on the sick list, and the Montana,
Kansas. Washington and South Dako-
Ia regiments show twenty or more Of
fcers in the hospitals or sick in their
quarters. These regiments have borne
the brunt of the lightning. Their loss
es in killed and wounded range from
16O in the Montana regiment to $50
in the Nebraska. The loss of the Kan
'sas regiment is second to that of the
Nebraska, while the Washington and

San francisco, July 14.-The United

bearing the Oregon volunteer regiment
from Manila, arrived here last evening.
The vessels were sighted early In the
afternoon, and soon the cllrieklng of
steam whistles. the changing of bells
and the firing of cannon announced the
nrst batch Of returning volunteers
from Manila were nearing the shores
OF California. Within a few minutes
the streets were packed with people
vending their way to the docks and
the heights overlooking the hay, intent
on catching glimpse of the transports
as they steamed up the harhor under
cne escort OF score of vessels which
mad been made ready for the arrival
Of the steamers.
The roofs of the warehouses were
crowded with people and from scores
OF hagpoles streamed the Stars and
stripes. Steamers. tugs. yachts and
even small rowboats were soon making
tneis way as fast as possible toward
the Golden Gate. The reception COM
mittees boarded the tug boats Sea
Queen and Gov. Irwin and headed for
the ocean. On board the Irwin were
the harbor commissioners. the officials
of the National Guard of California
and Gov. Gear Of Oregon and his staff.

by Mayor Phelan and many invited

by the federal quarantine boat. from
Angel island. Then there were boats
at the disposal of the Red Cross and
other societies and many chartered by

AS the transports slowly steamed up
the harbor the soldiers gathered in eX-
cited groups on deck and some climbed
into the rigging, where they shouted
and cheered like mad. The band on
the Sea Queen played patriotic airs,
and the screaming Of many steam SIR
ems created pandemomium. The
health officials boarded the vessels,
which changed their course toward the
quarantine stations, where the doctors
will make a thorough examination of
the men. 1t Is undecided whether the
Oregon volunteers will be allowed to
land in San Francisco before return
ing to their Oregon homes.
