TROOPS COUNT ON GOING TO CUBA.
A RUMOR was circulated In Camp
Merrltt yesterday afternoon that
one battalion each of the Four
it'nth, Eighteenth and Twenty
third I'ruted States Infantry, all that
are not on the way t<> the Philippines,
would he hastened to Cuba to re-en
force General Shatter at the earliest
possible moment, but the men them-
Belves are confident that their destina
tion would be Manila.
Major General Otis has appointed a
board of survey to Inspect a lot of
bagon brouvh-t here from New Orleans
by the Elghtei nth Infantry, which 1b
said to be unfli for use.

others have picked up pets of various
descriptions, and the Petaluma boys did
not want to be behind, so when they were
presented with a half-grown pigeon every
man in the company instantly installed
himself as head nurse. The bird was of
fered vast quantities of beans, cooked
and raw; fresh and stale bread by the
loaf and all the other delicacies provided
in the army menu. But it refused to eat.
Somebody suggested that it wanted
wheat, and a collection was taken tip to
buy some. Four men asked permission
of Car;ain I.arnes to go downtown for
some, and when he remarked that it
hardly seemed necessary for four men to
p.> after wheat for one bird they said
they wanted to see that the money did
not go for malt In liquid form. The
captain's consfc-nt obtained, the quartet
started off, and in an hour returned with
a sack of grain— sufficient to feed a whole

. PLANNING THE DRILLS.
Officers Will Consider Schemes
for Advanced Instruction
of Their Commands.
The folowlng circular issued yesterday
by Brigadier General Miller to the First
I Brigade is one of the most important
I that has come out. It bears directly
upon military discipline and drill, for
which General Miller is noted:
The commanding officers of organizations be-
I longing to the brigade will pubmit schemes of
! Instruction for their commands for the ensu
j ing ten days, commencing July 5. IS&S. The
ln.-tructlons should be progressive, the last
! three of four days fur cavalry, Infantry and
battalion of heavy artillery-, California, devoted
i to marching with advance and rear guards and
: flanking parties, establishing pickets and recon
noitering the streets of a city or village. For
taken to once more place the guard of the
State on a footing of efficiency. In view
of the fact that not more than one-half
of the maximum strength of any of the
companies of the National Guard was
mustered Into the volunteer service, it
is probable that companies will be re
cruited to the minimum strength, namely
fifty, so that when the guardsmen return,
and it is the hope of every one that they
will, they may return to their former
station, if they so desire. If that is done
it will give the State an armed force that
may be called upon at any time In case
of internal trouble.
In speaking of the objection that was
made to the reorganization of the guard
on the ground that there was no appro
priation for uniforming or equipping the
same, a retired officer said on Saturday
thru that would not be a serious objec
tion for the reason that the credit of
the State is good, and that there are a
number of citizens who would advance
tho means to rehabilitate the guard,
trusting to the Legislature to reimburse
them. He was of the opinion that the
State should not he allowed to remain for
any length of time without a stronger
force than now exists, as it is not known
at what moment the friends of Spain
might create a disturbance in portions
of California now without military pro
tection. While It is true, he admitted,
that upon proper representation the vol
unteer force could be secured to give
such aid as might be required, still there
! would have to be so much red tape un
wound and rewound that in the meantime
much damage might be done, while if
there was a small force oi National
Guard In the vicinity of where such
trouble might start it could be checked
in its inciplency. "But," as the speaker
said, "that is a matter for the consid
eration, of those who are at the head
of the State military affairs."
At Division Headquarters those in
charge are receiving the reports of the
several captains whese commands of the
National Guard have been accepted and
these are being arranged in a systematic
manner so that the exact status of the
men and of the company property may be
known. As the State has furnished to the
United Stat<s a great deal of property be
! longing to the State, the accounts must be
| made up to have a correct debit and cred
it account with Uncle Sam. This will take
some time and will not be completed un
til after the Eighth Regiment shall have
been mustered in to the last man.
It is asserted by those competent to
judge that the several companies of the
Fifth Infantry of the N. G. C. went be
fore the mustering officer in better condi
tion than the majority of the companies
that had preceded them and that when
they went into camp at Fruitvale they
were tn first class condition. It Is evident
that those who were at the head of the
movement profited by the mistakes that
were made In the first instance and took
the precaution to avoid them.
The members of th« Seventh Regiment
of California Volunteers, recruited from
the ranks of the Seventh Regiment of the
National Guard, and those of the Eighth
Regiment of Volunteers, recruited from
the Seconfl and Fifth regiments of the
National Guard, feel reasonably sure that
they will be sent to the front with the
fourth expedition, consequently they are

HAD FRIENDS HERE.
Some of the Killed and Wounded
Are Well Known to the
Military Officers in
San Francisco.
The general topic of discussion among
the officers at the Presidio Club yesterday
afternoon was the battle of Santiago. The
consensus of opinion was that if the re
sult for the Americans so far was no
more than a draw— as General Miles
called it— then the situation was not quite
so bad as some might suppose, and that
Santiago is doomed to fall there seemed
to be no doubt, but its capture, it was
conceded, would require re-enforcements
and much more time than at first expect
ed. In one sense the temporary backset,
as one of the officers put it, would have
a healthy effect in that it would convince
people that the war with Spain is by no
means a picnic, and that the Spaniards
are fighters. Hereafter our Government
would be better prepared before giving
battle, and less attention would be given
to the clamor of those who have criticized
the administration for moving so slowly.
Many of the officers killed or wounded
in the battle of Santiago were known to
the officers now in San Francisco, al
though but few of them ever served in the
Department of California. They are all
highly esteemed by their fellow officers
here.
lieutenant Ord of the Sixth Infantry,
who is among the killed, was the son of
the late Major General Ord. He enlisted
as a private in the First Infantry while
it was stationed at the Presidio and was
soon promoted to be a non-commissioned
officer, leaving here with the First In
fantry, he was promoted to a lleutency
and transferred to the Sixth.
Captain Taylor of the Ninth Cavalry,
happy, but those who were mustered in
from the Sixth Regiment of the National
Guard are despairing of being ordered
where their fellow national guardsmen
have been or will be sent. They feel that
selecting for the field of action organ
izations of the State mustered in after
theirs was is- an uniust discrimination
against them. They hold that as far as
the State troops are concerned they
should have been sent to the front in the
order in which they presented themselves
for service.
FATHER YOUNAN'S PLEA.
The Distinguished Missionary Asks
for Continued Support of the
Youth's Directory.
Father Younan lectured yesterday af
ternoon before the solicitors of St. Jos
eph's Union. This society, which has for
its object the suport of the Youths' Di
rectory, assembles semi-annually to hear
a lecture on charity from some distin
guished clergyman. Before the lecture
there was a business meeting in the as
sembly hall, at which Rev. Father Crow
ley presided. After a few words of wel
come Father Crowley gave a detailed ac
count of the work done since the last
meeting. He stated tnat during the half
year more than 250 boys had been re
ceived into the home and provided for.
Since the departure of the regular troops
for Cuba and the going out of our volun
teers to Manila there has been a very per
ceptible increase in the application for ad
mission. "The children of the soldiers
must be looked after at all events," re
marked the reverend speaker, "and we
want your co-operation in providing for
them proper food and clothing. Their
fathers are fighting for our flag on for
eign soil, and they must not feel that the
children whom they love are in dire dis
tress in a land of plenty. These are our
present care and concern and to them
we must devote our best efforts as well as
our last dollar."
"The work of this society," he contin
ued, "is of the highest Importance to the
community, and you have reason to fee l
satisfied and proud of the results of your
labors in the past. A number of those
who were saved by your untiring energy
and zeal shared in the dangers and tri
umphs that have immortalized the name of
Admjral Dewey, while one of your wards
is now on the way to the Philippines in
the capacity of stenographer to General
Merritt. These are results of which we,
as lovers of our country, have reason to
be proud."
Father Crowley then spoke of his diffi
culty in meeting the many demands made
upon his depleted exchequer. The solicit
ors agreed to put forth their best efforts
In the patriotic work of maintaining the
Youths' Directory.
Rev E. 11. Younan's address was de
livered in the chapel of the institution,
which was packed with an attentive au
dience. The eloquent Paulist held the
deep Interest of his hearers for almost an
hour. He praised the work which was be
ing accomplished by the Youths' Direc
tory and urged all present to take a per
sonal interest in helping to save the
homeless boys.
who was wounded in the stomach, com
manded a troop of scouts during the Pine
Ridge Indian campaign in South Dakota
in 1890-91, and with his troop was engaged
in the battle of Wounded Knee.
Captain George A. Dodd of the Third
Cavalry, who was wounded in the head,
has been in command of men for many
years and is a fine soldier. He gained
considerable fame by introducing and de
veloping fancy cavalry riding, known as
the Cossack style, in which the men of
his troop have for a long time been re
markable experts.
Captain Morgan of the Third Cavalry,
who was killed, was a dashing fighter.
He was severely wounded in the arm in
General Chaffee's fight with the Apaches
at Chevalon's Fork, Arizona, in 1883.
Captain Charles .Dodge o"T the Twenty
fourth Infantry, reported as among the
killed, was the inventor of the blanket
roll yoke, which keeps the rolled blankets
off the chest and back.
Lieutenant Colonel Patterson of the
Twenty-second Infantry, wounded in the
groin, was the lieutenant colonel of the
First Infantry while at the Presidio.
Colonel Wyckoff of the Twenty-second,
reported killed, served throughout the
Civil War, and at the battle of Shiloh one
of his eyes was shot out. He was wound
ed several times in other battles. He was
one of the bravest and most gallant sol
diers in the army. Wyckoff was formerly
major of the Fourteenth Infantry, and
was last stationed at Vancouver barracks,
Washington.
Major Corliss, Captain Jackson, Lieu
tenant Besaro, all reported killed, and
Lieutenant Charles E. Field, fatally shot
in the hpad, belonged to the Seventh In
fantry and were well known by Lieuten
ant Bennett, aid-dc-camp to General
Merriam. The Seventh is Lieutenant Ben
nett's regiment. Captain Jackson was
a West Point classmate of Colonel Barry,
adjutant on the staff of Major General
Otis.
Lieutenants Conkling and Farr, of the
First Artillery, who are among the
wounded, are highly spoken of by those
of the officers in San Francisco who knew
them.
The Presidio officers, who were consider
ably "in the dumps" yesterday afternoon
over the news from Santiago, were
greatly elated last evening upon hearing
of the destruction of Cervera's fleet by
Sampson and the rapidly approaching fall
of the Spanish stronghold.
MET HER SOLDIER LOVE.
A Long Pilgrimage Ends in
the Rounding Out of a
Pretty Romance.
A portion of one of the prettiest ro
mances of the present war has been en
acted in this city during the past fort
night. Let Colonel Anderson, a gruff but
kindly old veteran of the Civil War, tell
the story as it developed under his eyes:
"While on my way to this coast several
days ago," he said, "my atention was at
tracted by a young woman who was trav
eling unattended. She was blessed with
more than ordinary good looks, was tal-
ented and a brilliant conversationalist.
She soon became a favorite with the other
passengers, who were deeply interested
in her mission to the Pacific Coast. This
was to find her brother, a comparative in
valid, according to her story, who had en
listed in the Montana regiment. As we
drew near our destination she was fairly
bubbling over with good nature in antici
pation of the meeting that was in store
for her. She was a stranger here, and I
volunteered to escort her to the camp up
on our arrival. We lost no time after reg
istering at a downtown hotel, but made
our way at once to the Richmond Camp.
"Upon arriving there I was surprised to
hear her inquire for Mr. Ferguson, as she
had given her name as Miss Holliday. I
dismissed the matter from my mind,
thinking that such a difference was
caused by a second marriage of one of the
parents.
"We did not find her brother that morn
ing, but she said she would visit the camp
again during the afternoon. I lost sight of
her for some days, as I was busy with
matters of business. One day I was stand
ing on Market street watching some
troops go by. I felt a pressure on my
arm, and turning around was greeted by
my traveling companion. With her was a
stalwart soldier. After the exchange of
greetings she introduced her escort as
'My husband, Mr. Ferguson !' I could
not conceal my surprise, but divined at
once the reason for her hasty trip to this
coast.
"Some days later I learned of the Inci
dents that led up to the affair. The young
couple were natives of lowa. They were
betrothed, but he met with business re
verses and went West to repair his dam
aged fortunes. When the war broke out
he offered his services to his country and
the fortunes of war sent him still further
westward.
"Colncidently with the breaking out of
the war Miss Holliday was left an inde
pendent fortune through the death of a
relative. She knew of a slight affection
of the throat from which her lover suf
fered, and her womanly Instinct told her
that the surgeons would not pass him.
This proved true, and she arrived just at
the time of his discharge, whereupon they
were married. They are now touring the
Yosrmite. as happy a couple as there is in
all the West."
Volunteer Engineers.
Two companies of the Second Regiment
of Volunteer Engineers went into camp
yesterday on the Presidio plain north of
Camp Miller. One company is from Colo

rived Saturday night, and the other is a

HIS SHOE BETRAYED HIM.
A Saloon Burglar Returns for His
Missing Property and Is Cap
tured.
The saloon of Richard Madden at Fran
cisco and Mason streets was entered by
burglars early yesterday morning and the
supposed robber was captured when he
returned to the place to find a shoe he
had left In the yard back of the saloon.
Madden had been to an opening of a
rival saloon In the vicinity of his place,
and as the party did not break up till
morning he decided that he would not go
to bed but would open his place for busi
ness. When he came to the front door he
found the glass broken and entering the
place discovered the back door open. Offi
cer Irvine was called in, and in the rear
of the saloon he and Madden found a
shoe. While they were examining the bit
of evidence William Thompson, a nine
teen-year-old boy living near by, made his
appearance with but on« shoe, and
claimed the one the officer held as his.
