Camp Watekmajj (Santa Cruz), Aug. 23.

—The great sham, all sham, battle has beenfought and the invisible enemy has beenrouted, horse, foot and dragoon, and theSecond Brigade lias been covered with suchislory as a victory of this sort carries— and

with Camp Waterman dust.Early this morning General Dimond,

Division Commander, with his stall, wasmet by the ban Francisco Hussars, detailedas escort, and a short time after receiving

and returning the customary salute, tootscats in a large carryall, drawn by fourhorses, and started lor the camp, followedby the cavalry escort.

"It is something very unusual,'

re-marked a retired military officer to yourcorrespondent) "foran escort to take theirposition in the rear, and can only be ex-plained on the ground that the DivisionCommander and his officers do not want toiravi their pretty uniforms and gold lacecovered withdust raised by the horses ofthe cavalrymen."

Bi-foie reaching camp, however, the car-riage took a position so as to have thecavalrymen in front and in the rear.

THE CAMP INSPECTED.After a visit to headquarters General Di-

. luuud and staff inspected the camp and themen, who had just returned from skirmishdrill. After12 o'clock, the Brigadier-Gene-ral having granted permission, the mencommenced to decorate the campwith evergreens and fancy-colored lan-tern-, transferring in a few hours astrictly military bower into a sort of fairybovver which looked very pretty, but it wasnot military, still it pleased the majority ofthe soldier boys and brought forth remarksof praise from the fair sex making the tourof inspection, which tickeled the vanity ofthe decorators.

Within an hour before the time an-nounced for the battle the ciondol visitorswits augmented by those coming to see theshow. They came afoot, singly and inpairsand crowds, in every conceivable sort ofvehicles. Everything in Santa Cruz,from bicycles and baby carriages tothree-seated buckboards and. carryalls,everything on wheels for miles aroundthe city, were pressed iuto service, andsome time before the show commenced thenorthwestern corner of the field wascrowded with vehicles, which gave it theappearance of a race-track. Before the

[great event mounted orderlies and cavalry-men were kept busy for some time placingthese visitors at a point where they wouldbe beyond danger and out of the way oi

the National Guardsmen.REVIEWED BY THE GOVEKVOH.

At 4 o'clock Governor Waterman andstaff nnd General Orton appeared oa theheld and took up their positions in the cen-ter of the field, after whichcame the instruc-tions to the brigade by Dimond. Then thebrigade passed in review before the Gov-eruorl The regiments marched in columnol companies before the reviewing officer,presenting a striKing appearance aiidmilitary bearing which drew forth""tJspectators wTio occupied positions atevery point except Tripe "Hill, which hudbeen given out was to be the point of as-sault. After passing the Cornuiander-in-Chief, the companies changed into foursright, and the First and Third, beingfarthest away from the wheeling point,made the regiments' posts indouble timein order to change their full-dress forfatigue uniforms.

The other regiments moved rapidly totheir posts and ina short time all were atparade rest.

The most noticeable feature of the reviewwas the Signal Corps, twenty men front,who-e soldierly appearance, marching andwheeling show the care they have paid toinstiuctions about moving as one' man.The corps was under command of FustLieutenant William E. Brown.

After the review, lasting thirty-two min-utes, the field was again cleared of teamswhich encroached on the space required forthe evolutions.

THE MAXEITI:!:-.Shortly after 5 o'clock the Signal Corps

advanced and took up a position at thewestern side of the field, then the First, inanswer to a signal, moved on to the field inquick lime, 1.0 steps to the minute, and was

10110 wed by!the other regiments, allmoving tothe point where the brigade was to be formed.With colors flying, drums beating andbugles sounding the officers and menmarched as on the way to meet the enemy.After Considerable maneuvering ana somedelay in getting the several regiments iutotheir proper places, line was formed In theorder which the regiments occupy in camp,the First and Third, with one piece of ar-tillery between these regiments and thecavalry on the extreme left.

Behind each regiment was a detail of theSignal Corps, each witha flag of differentcolor inorder that each regiment and its.o-ition could be readily recognized.

The .Conimander-in-Chief and Adjutant-General moved back some distance andGeneral Dimond and staff took up theirposition in the rear of the brigade at apointwhich Mould have placed them out of dan-ger had an enemy been in sight. TheBrigadier-General took up his position im-mediately in the rear of the Third, whilethe ambulance was in the rear of theSecond.

"lIFKK(OMKS THE ENEMY."At twenty minutes after 5 o'clock all

•were on the field waiting for orders, whilethe bands, at a sate distance in camp,flayed sweet music. Three minutes laterthe loud and continued shrieking ofthe locomotive of a freight-train wasthe <au-e for the cry to beraised, ".Here comes the enemy." But thetrain went by quickly and no enemy hovein Bight. Suddenly, as a Signal Corps mannear the Governor's carriage waved awhite Hag, there was a hurried consulta-tion of the Brigadier-General with themembers of liis staff. Then thecavalrymen deployed as skirmisherslushed across the lield and while they weredoing tins some one in the Second accident-ally lired his i>ieee, which gave rise to thebelief that the war had begun. The caval-lyiueu, who had neither carbines nor re-volvers, dismounted, went through the mo-tions of firing, took to horse again and rodeback to their position.

lie Third then deployed as skirmishers,went to the Innt, deploying right and leftof l.tie regimental line, and, lying downcommenced skirmish firing. At the firstliri? a black dog standing in front of the.skirmisher- became bewildered, and as thetiringci'iiiinued became frightened and ranacross tlie field in lime that equaled MaudS's first quarter. He never stopped runninguntil he bought refuge under the Governor'senrrince. The incideut created much mer-riment among the spectators.

THE SKIRMISHERSAdvanced and fired more blank cartridgesat the imaginary enemy, and then retreated,keeping up a popping all along \u25a0 the

'line.

These movements occupied ten minutes'tune, and in the meantime the other regi-. ment wat hugging the eround.

ihi' order was then given to rise andload, but before the. order to lire was giventhere was more delay caused by a consulta-tion between Cutting and Dickinson, and

regiments, some of the volleys being excel-lent, but many were not. Then the Firstmid Third moved forward in double timelaid down and fired volley alter volley, the-artillery adding to the noise and din of theImaginary battle. ••

The men then rose and advanced, firing.Suddenly the Fifthand Second moved from

'the. left toward the center in double time,,yelling as they advanced, iThen they came

by fives, and thai with occasional shotsfrom the artillery was kept up until all the

ammunition was exhausted, and the fieldso enveloped in smoke as to shut out fromview the participants.

At 6 o'clock the lust shot was fired, andthe sham was over. The evolutions of thesoldiers and tho dusty work they did wasapplauded and cheered totheeoho by tlievastmultitude. The citizens were pleased, butthe soldiers are not, for they declare it wasa farce— this thing of shootiiiß at the wind.

THE A.MDILAXCE CORPS.The ambulance corps did good service,

and showed the ndvautage of such a wagon

on the fit-Id.Lieutenant Elliott, of the Fifth, fellinto

a gopher-hole and sprained his aukle. Thewagon was sunmioued and driven to him atthe same rate of speed as the fire-patrolwagon is driven, and in a lew minutes hewas picked up and conveyed tn headquar-ters and given such treatment and cure asthe case called for. , ,

This evening the camp was brilliantlyIlluminated and crowded by people special-ly invited to attend the reception given bythe several regiments aud there was a great

jollification.The members of the Second Artillerysay

TIIK CAMP AT NIGHT.The camp to-night was crowded with

visitors calling at the several headquartersand companies, and at each regimentalheadquarters a land was playing. Amateursgave vocal and Instrumental concerts.

The Second ami Fifth have dance plat-foinis, and many take advantage of the op-portunity to dance with the boys in blue.

Governor Waterman visited all the regi-ments, mode speeches, and was wellreceivedand loudly cheered. Inreply to bis remarksI'olouel Berry said that in case of war withEngland toe Third willbe found ready, andItwill not need the use of a fine comb tolind the men who will he read} to fight,

The Governor tried to emulate GeneralSherman by kissing all the pretty n'fls whowere incamp, which pleasant exercise waskept up for nearly an hour.

WHIRLING POOLOF POLITICS.

Democrats Who Hare No Lovefor Buckley's Pond.

Seme oX the"

Bosi'"

Lambi Who Are Fed at

the Public Crib and Herded by Him

at Conventions.

The majority of the residents of SouthSan Francisco have no affection for Candi-date Pond. On the contrary, the feeling

against him there is cold and cruel inits in-tensity of dislike.

The effects of the mass-meetings whichwere held in that southern suburb to con-demn the autocratic manner in which hehad vetoed the several applications for afranchise for the construction of through

street railways from this city to South SanFrancisco are still extant.

Candidate Pond is disliked, detested, con-demned by a large number of voters whowere justly entitled to better railroad serv-ice with this city, and the party whip can-

not lick the dyed-in-the wool disgust out ofthem.

Atthe time wtien the people of South SanFrancisco were suffering acutely from theragged railway service between their homesand this city, and when they were movingheaven and earth to remedy the evil, theywere subjected to the bitterness of defeattime and again by the despotic rule of Buck-ley's Pond as Mayor of San Francisco.They found themselves pounded down intothe very mud they wished to escape from,and by the very acts of a man who waselected to look carefully after their iuter-ests.

There was but one reason for Toners un-justifiable action in the matter, in theiropinion. liuckley's Fund played into thehands of those who wished to control thepassenger traffic between this city andSouth San Francisco and who were not thenready to build and operate a road for that

purpose. In return for this obligationplaced upon those parties he was to havetheir support when he became a candidatefor the Governorship.

The play is progressing according to the iprogramme arranged by Pond aod Buckley, ibut the last act will,the residents of South i

San Francisco believe, end ns italwaysends— heavy villain willbe demoralizedand justice will be triumphant. Pond hasalready a losing light to face, and his run tothe wall will be joyously aided by thepeople of South San Francisco.

cunriß's 11UUBLE.

A Story of the Kcceut J>«mocratio In.

lil'-ntniiiIn*»Mh.

W. J. Uunsaker of San Diego was a dele-gate to the Democratic Convention at KanJose. The Hon. Tom Clunie, member ofCongress from California, was also numer-ous and conspicuous at the same Demo-cratic exhorting grounds, and a good manypeople thought him to be more numerousthan he was; but thereby hangs a tale.

Hunsaker and Clunie .were not borntwins; neither were they matured by thesame nurse, nor was there any other cir-cumstance in the birthJor coming to man-hood of these two dißtinuuUhed gentlemenwhich would cause their personalities tobecome merged into each other; but, never-theless, if they weren't twins they oughtto be, for two peas in the same pod neverlooked more alike than W. J. liiinsnker andTom Clunie. When Been separately it istin- ii'xt thing to impossible to tell "whichfrom which," and their habits ofdress bearout the deception. Both * wear the sameblack Prince Albert, both wear the samesort of broad-brimmed hat, and both sport-..: ..... • - ,\u25a0\u25a0•\u25a0'.•

\u25a0-. ....,\u25a0 \u25a0, .... -. Z -

the same expanse of waistcoat so indicativeof good dinners and internal contentment.

This resemblance has cost Mr.Hunsakerno end of annoyance. He is a man wholoves peace anil does not like to be takenfor a Buckley Congressman. But Mr. llun-saker's resemblance to Mr. Clunie servedhim in good stead at San Jose and enabledhim to put a spike in the guns of that verywilypolitician Christopher A. Buckley.

A WHITE BOOMER.Mr. Hunsaker, is an enthusiastic White

man aud was anxious that that crawfishstatesmau should be indorsed by the con-vention for the Uuitod States Senate, butMr. Hunsaker did not go round the laudmaking a blow of his desire in that direc-tion;ou the contrary, he laidlow and waitedfor a chance todo a brilliant stroke of workfor his friend.

The chance soon came. Iti3popularlysupposed that Stephen M. White withdrewfrom the Senatorial contest because he sawthat his indorsement would cause a widesplit in the party, and his patriotism roseabove his personal ambition; but nothiugwas farther from the truth. Mr. Whitewithdrew from the contest because W. J.Ilunsuker looked like Tom Clunie, and thething came about i.i this way.

Hunsaker was repesing in a barber'schair in Sau Jose, having the two days'growth of beard removed from his face.The barber was veiy affable and officious,chatting nitn his customer as he worked;but Mr. Uunsaker did not respond, beingwrapped up in formulating schemes for theiicn.-iit of his friend White. At last thebarber grew personal.

"Oh, Mr. Clunie!" he exclaimed, as hetook hold of the illustrious nose to turn theface over to the left; "Oh, Mr. Clunie, Idid a good stroke of work fur you when yourun lor Congress here. 1got you at leastten votes among the Republican barbers.""

Indeed," said Ilunsakur, who saw thathe was again the victim of mistaken iden-tity."

Yes," said the barber, "indeed Idid. Itold the boys that you were a barber onceyourself, aud that captured them."

"Thanks," said lluusaker. "When youwant n place at Washington let me know."

"Allright," said the barber. Aud then hepaid great attention to the parting of Mr.Hunsiikcr's hair, and presently had his taskfinished, and called out, "Mextl"

THE OLD MAN'S SCHEME.Hunsaker noticed that the mention of

Chime's name by the barber attracted theattention of a man in the next chair, whohappened to get through with tho tousorialmanipulation at the same time as Uunsaker.As the two stepped out into the street, thisman passed his arm familiarly through thatof Hunsaker.

"Say, Tom, "| said the man, "that is aclever dodge we've put up on Steve White,eh?"

llunsaker's eyes opened wide, as hisready brain grasped the situation.

"You b«t itis," he replied."Yes," said the other, "the 'old man'

is the slickest of them all. Steve thinksthat Chris is for him, but Lord !he willgetfooled, wont he?""

Yes, he willget fooled. Say, you know1didu't get all ofthe scheme trom the 'oldiuhu.' How is he going to wt rk it?"

"Why, didn't he post you?""lie had just started to tell me when

a blamed newspaper man came nosingaround, and Ithought itwasn't best to beseen talking withBuckley."

"Tliat is right. Itwould spoil the wholething if any one suspected the 'old man'was working it. Well, Chris is going towork itin this way: Those boys in tue del-egation as is known to be Buckley's menate going to work for White among the bay-seed delegates. That'll scare 'em all off,because they'll think Backley is behindWhite, and they bate Buckley! When thevote is called tho city boys is going to votesolid for White's idee. That'll make themcountry delegates more scared of the thingthan ever. Then when Yolo County's votehas buen called the boys is going to flopover solid, and that'll defeat Steve Whitedead to rights, d'ye see?"

llunsaker saw, and as soon as he couldKet rid of his companion he went straight toWhile aud told him of the intended move.Upon figuring up \\ hite saw that he couldnot hope to carry the convention withBuck-ley against him, and, according to the storytold, ihiitis how he camtt to withdraw.

Convention Postponed.The First Congressional District Conven-

tion, which was called for yesterday after-noon at the Republican State Central Com-mittee rooms, 4iy California street, waspostponed after an informal session untilthe afternoon of Saturday, September (Jth,at the same place. The attendance of dele-gates was considered too small for satisfac-tory representation.

A CHANGE OF

HEADQUARTERS.

Native Sons Will Leave TheirPresent Location. **

The Offer of a Sival Hotel Is Accepted-Ad-r \u25a0 dress Issued by the Decoration Com-

mittee— Kotet. .ILast Friday evening, at a meeting of theGeneral Committee of the Native Sons ofthe Golden West, Chairman Chamberlainasked on behalf of the officers of the com-mittee to be empowered .to change theirheadquarters from the Grand Hotel, stating

that this move if made would only be inorder to sustain the pride and standing ofthe Native Sons. The officers were there-upon empowered to make the change when-ever they saw fit.

No reasons for the request were giventhe committee, who demanded none. Ru-mors had already received credit that Ifthemove was made itwould be en account ofthe stand the hotels had taken on 'thequestion of subscriptions.

Yesterday afternoon the matter was sub-mitted to the Executive Committee of theFinance Committee, John H. Begler, cat-Ing Chairman, presiding.

After assembling about him about adozen member! of his committee and theofficers of the General Committee be en-tered into a detailed account of the visitsmade by bis committee to the various hotelsand of their reception at and progress witheach one.

GBAVK, VEKV GRAVM.When he came to the names of the Palace

and Grand he waxed wroth. Bo claimedthat the Executive Committee, the FinanceCommittee, and through them, the order ofNative Sons, had been insulted by ManagerThorn, ana hedemauded;that since Mana-ger Thorn had said the (Native Sons wereimpediments to his business, and were beg-gars, the General Committee should heartheir grievance and let Mr.Thorn have hisrooms.

The rooms in Question are suite 9 andnot -.lit- 8, the latter being occupiedby the Reception Committee, and not in-volved in the issue.

Chairman Chamberlain thought thatsince those rooms had been so well ad-vertised throughout the State as headquar-ters and were so well known as such by theInterior parlors it would not be doing jus-tice to the order to change on account ofthe insult of an Individual directed againsta sub-committee.

This brought Mr. Hegler to his feet Hesaid :"Iam not a child, an ass or a fool. Iregard Manager Thorn's actions as pre-posterous, outrageous, and I,for one, wontstand it.""

NorIeither," said Henry Martin."NorL""nor I,"said George U. Pippy

and Mr. Wieland, all of whom were withMr.Hester on the special committee forhotels.

"Then, first as well as last, Imay as wellgive my ultimatum," said Chairman Cham-berlain, "iadmit we have been grossly in-sulted. Imust have proper apartments formy office, where Ican be alone, and, at thesame lime, near the -Acting place of thesub-committees. IfyeTcan findsuch quar-ters, 1am decidedly in favor of going."

MOKE KOOM AND MOKE MOSEY.It was thereupon decided to visit the

apartments offered by H. A. Unruh, tem-porary malinger of the BaldwinHotel. Thiswas done in a body.

Three large suites— Nos. 26, 28 and 37—

on the second floor, a waiting-room, lobby,baggage, coat and cloak and receptionrooms were offered the Sous as induce-ments.

Allwere so pleased with the extra advan-tage of the new over the old quarters thatthe Executive Committee recommended theremoval, and, acting on their recommend-ation, the officers decided on the change,which willbe made by to-morrow.

Suite 8 of the Grand Hotel will still beoccupied by the Reception Committee, un-less a change by that committee be decidedupon.

The Committee on Hotels and Accommo-dations willremove to the office-room in theBaldwin Hotel, on the corner of Marketand Powell, to-morrow. There will be aMtting-room and room for the temporarychecking of baggage connected with this

"oTniiiug guests to"tiieif proper' roomsthroughout the city willbe used.

The Mexican Veterans held a meetinglast evenlug with Colonel Andrews in thechair, Itwas decided to turn out in thecelebration parade infull costume.Dr. Decker says that the removal of theheadquarters to the Baldwin has been themeans of raising the subscriptions of busi-ness men in th.it neighborhood.

Treasurer Dockery stated last night thatas much money was raised last night as inany week previous. Only about 515.000more is needed, all of which is in sight.< Senator Jones, who is on his way homefrom the San Jose Convention, called at theheadquarters yesterday to gather data toconvince the Natives at Orovllle that hehas kept au courant with the preparationsfor the celebration.'CM. Uelsliaw, Past Grand Trustee ofGeneral Winn Parlor of Antioch, called atthe headquarters yesterday. He says thatIns parlor will come down forty strong,dressed a la cowboy.

Nothingaccomplished yet. willadvise further-

Whatever was effected in the way of"amicable adjustments" must have beenaccomplished between that time and 2:30o'clock, for at the latter hour the meetingadjourned, and all who had the trouble ofattending itlooked much the worse for thedeliberations. The oflicials seemed piquedaboul s methina, and the men, excited andangry, repaired at ouce to their hall on Mis-sion street, where a session of the GeueralGrievance Committee was held.

The discontent among the men seems tohave been contagious, and itwas learnedyesterday that while the freight conductorson divisions outside of the Western havebeen all along disclaiming any intention olasking foran increase of the pay system,they really have been represented at all ofthe meetings of the brotherhood, and, withthe others nave serious grievances to com-plain of. and when Mr.Fillinore was askedyesterday as to the. xtent of the trouble hesaid: "itextends to every division ou thesystem."

TION' OFCalifornia, }\u25a0SANKR.VSCISCO, Aug.22, 1800.)

W. A. Buahncll Esq., Secretary Council ofFederated Trades— Dear Sir: Ata meeting orilie Euclueers' and Iion-rounder a 1 Association,held this afiernoon, your letter of Autiust 21stwas presented, and Its kind expression* in re-gard to tbe long-continued molders' strike wereai'Ui >\u25a0'\u25a0; lie!by us. Alter due consideration ofthe subject, Iwas Instructed to leply lor me as-sociation as follows:

Before tile stiike In March last the Mulders'Union positively declined all concessions and allarbitration on matters 01 dlHereuce betweenthemselves and their employers. Since the strikewe have taken on oilier men and boys to do ourwork, and nave assumed obligations to memwinch we willnot under any circumstances vio-late. As at present advised of iliedisposition ofthe Mulders' Union, we do not see bow anyliciietit willresult (loin [he conference proposedby you, uud Itis therefore declined.

Atllie same lime we think it proper to say andfor you to understand that we nave taken no ac-tionclosing out shops against our late workmen011 account of tbeir membership in the union,

aud so far as we have work our doors are opento any good men among our former employeswhenever they clioose to enter them. 1uuire-spectfully yours, 11. S. Moore, Secretary.-Now, then, the atmosphere is fullof spec-ulation as to the probable outcome of thislinn stand taken by the foundmnen. Willthe Federated Trades take the matter inhand? is a question frequently asked, butof course nut definitely answered.

Here are a few of the possible phases thefiiilitmay assume before it is settled: TheFederated Trades may take up the niolders'defense and decide to levy assessments onall the labor organizations that composethat body. Then there is a possibility thattie machinists and boiler-makers may beinduced to join the niolders. Ifsuch shouldhappen it would simply close up the shops,nothing short of tint.-

But whatever the possible phases of thediflifulty may be, nothing will be doneuntil another attempt to confer with theassociation meets with the same stubbornresistance.

A prominent labor leader expressed theopinion last night that the apparently linnattitude of the Fouudrymen is only a boldbluff,really betraying signs of weakness.They do not wish to show the slightest signof concession to the molders lest the forcethey have now employed willturn heels anddesert them. Such a state of things wouldleave them utterly at the mercy of themolders, and they do not intend to beplaced in any such position. t-r*3

The strongest impression of all is, thatthe lighthas only just begun, and before itends will see the bitterest struggle everwaged between employer and employed.

A LlO-N OS HORSEBACK.The Masterpiece of Auim-il Training in

IIn militUambuim}. July 28.—The sensational an-

nouncement, "The Lion on Horseback,"had brought together an audience whichfilled the laige auditorium of the "CircusUenz" with an even display of heads. Withastonishment unmixed with fear— for astrong network of wire had been cut up toa considerable height around the ring— thepublic received the masterpiece of wild-iiDimal training.

Evidently this was the debut of the two-yenr-old king of the desert before so largea civilized audience, when ho with one boldand immense bound unerringly jumped onthe back of the galloping horse. Not vic-iously growling, but witha show of sillytiuiiaity,he noticed that all eyes were uuonhim. But soon lie seemed to get over the"nervousness" common to debutantes andhe executed inlively fashion all the trickshe liudbeen taught so successfully.

Askillul lion tamer and trainer namedCook conducts the business in . the greatwire case with the utmost ease, supportedbyn large tiger-dog. The performance cul-minates in the ''bridge leap," as the eighty-eight-year-old yeternn, Kenz, had an-nounced it. This consists of a bridge builtat a poiut of the ring five feet above thehorse, under which the horse passes nt hisfastest gallop. Coming near the brides thi*lion jumps upon it, waits there until thehorse has made another round, and thenjumps down on his buck.
