In response to his request,! troops will sail from San Franci today or tomorrow. Four transports will leave. The City of Pekin and the City of Australia are two of them, ‘The war department has not decided which of the six transports now being refited shall be chosen as the other two. These transports are expected to overtake the Charleston at Hono- lula. They will keep the cruiser company from that point to Manila, So the reinforcements to reach Ad« miral Dewey immediately will almost reach 10,000. Fourteen thousand troops are al« ready camped in the Presidio at Francisco. Others are on their way to the Pacific coast. A larger expe- dition will sail later with Gen, Mer- ritt in command. Admiral Dewey is to have all the assistance he asks for, The force may reach 30,000 ‘The first expedition will be in com- mand of Gen. EK, and will include a number of army officers designated for various positions. The bulk of the force to go under Gen. Otis will be regulars, and upon them, in all probability, will fall the most active work of the military accupation of the Philippines. The Tenth Pennsyivania regiment will go in the second expedition, which will be commanded by General Merritt, who, of course, will sume charge of affairs when he reaches Manila. Washington, May 21,—Maj. Gen. Wesley Merritt, who is to command the expedition to the Philippines, will probably leave this city today for San Francisco, stopping en route a day or more at Chicago, He is yet uncertain #8 to the date he will sail for the Philippines, but of course he will not be able to depart with the first ship that goes to Mani The general expects that he will have an ample force of men to establish the missiuvn on which he is sent, Be- tween 16,000 and 17,000 troops, he thinks, will be allotted him. Of this number he confideatly hopes there may be approximately 5,000 soldiers of the regular army, who, because of their thorough discipline an'l usage to actual “military life, are regarded as absolutely essential to the suc- cessful completion of the work iu hand. To Merchants’ Druggists’ Dealers In Liquors and Other Com- modities: As mayor of your city, whose duty it is to enforce the law, and with av earnest desire to avoid extremes, iv the administration offthe affairs there- of, I fell called upon to say that I have awaited patiently the evidence of respect for the law which should characterize all who make pretenses to good citizenship, especially to the regard in which many hold the viola- tion of the law governing the observ- ance of the Sabbath. ‘Therefore, I appeal to you ‘‘indi- vidually, and coliectively’’ to respect the law governing this day, at least, toa semblance of propriety, which can readily be accomplished by a mutual understanding between deal- ers in competitive callings, and their patrons, agreeing to inaugurate bet- ter methods.
