San Francisco, 17th June, We are having the war fever in the United States, although it is not everywhere as per captible as here in the City of the Golden Gate, Thonsinds of volunteers come from almost every action of the Republic, and the white tentet city near the Park is well terautod. Two days go 4,200 of its temporary denizeus desurtel, They were marshaled on board the transporte China, Zalandia, Color, and Senutar under command of Brigadier General Greene, and at 1.15 am, of the 16th the little squadron sailed.

To the outsider, that is to the man who is not a citizen of the United States, the present phone of its history is exedingly interesting. Many of us hold the opinion that, owing to the smopolitan character of the people, paristiam, or what we understand by that term, would be an unknown quantity hero. Wolf, wo weLD mistaken, budiy mistaken. I have taken prins to sound the opinion of many naturalized vitizens. Those of German, Dutch, English, or Scandinavian birth ars heartily with the country of their adoption. Citizens of French or Belgian origin show very little enthusiasm, in fret I doubt it their sympathies are ust mere with Spain; but they are naturally guarded in the expression of their opinion. It would he extremely nuboalthy for any ere to express aympathy with or advocate the canse of Sprin in a public manner. There would be certainly Az avongor ear, and the Courts would not entertain an assault and battery case against one who resented su insult to his country.

In my opinion this proves that the Anglo-Saxon stock can absorb or amalga mate with the Caucasian kindred.

Another fact which well leserves noties is the belligerent ardour of the Jewa.
