NEW YORK, July 4.—Nat since the close @f the civil war*has the Fourth of July been celebrated in this city so generally and so enthusiastically as it was today. The prow of our troops as shown in the fighting before Santiago, especially the splendid showing made by the Rough Rid- ers and the Tist Regiment, gave to the people of New York a feeling that they More than those of ary other section could celebrate today appropriately. There was no general parade, but there was a larger sale of fireworks than ever before, and speeches of a patriotic charac- ter were made at many public places in the city. Tammany Hall, as is usual with ft on the Fourth of July, gathered together a num- ber of speakers of national prominence, and the crowds which gathered to hear them were so large that it was necessary to hold overflow meetings.

Recruits Are Needed at San Francisco for Manfla—Shoddy Uniforms Withdrawn, SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 4.—It now seems possible that the next expedition to the Philippines may sail within ten days. Although only two transports, the Peru and City of Puebla, are available, the Pennsyl- vania, which arrived yesterday, and the City of Rio de Janeiro, due on Tuesday, are likely to be chartered or impressed by the government.

The Kansas and South Dakota and other regiments which have received “shoddy” uniforms are being outfitted anew, the un- serviceable garments having been recalled and suits of good quality substituted. South Dakota needs forty more recruits. Kansas wants several more, and the 19th United States Infantry is short two men. The United States Signal Corps detach- ment at Camp Merritt wants sixty or more recruits, in addition to twenty reported to} be .on the way here from the east, and the United States Hospital Corps, attached to the field hospital, desires 200 recruits to complete its quota of 700 attendants. Practically no other vacancies exist among the different commands destined for or on the way to the Philippines. Two companies of the 2d Regiment of Volunteer Engineers have gone into camp on the Presidio plain, north of Camp Miller. One company is from Colorado, under Cap- tain Draper, the other is a California com- pany, under Captain Wreken. Major Lang- fit is in command of this battalion. The colonel of the regiment is Millard Young. Two more companies are expected in a week. One is coming from Salt Lake and the other from Portland.

On the after- nocn of the same day these members of the mesquito fleet destroyed another war vessel at Manzanillo.

One large Spanish torpedo boat was dis- abled, three Spanish gunboats were seri- ously injured and a pontoon full of Span- ish troops was sunk, the enemy cscaping in boats. The Hornet was temporarily disabled, but the only casualties on the American side were three men slightly scalded by escap- ing steam. The Spanish loss in troops and sailors 1s believed to be large.
