The Eighteenth and Twenty-third regiments are 1220 strong, and the cavalry numbers 612. The cavalry will go to Mobile in four transports. The departure of these regiments will deplete the force of regulars which have been stationed here. BUTTE, Mont., May 24—Butte's cavalry troop, Captain Stivers, accom- panfed by the Missoula troop, Captain Higgins, left here to-day for Chicka- mauga.

Every one of them knows the and from one end to the other, and is possessed of information re- arding the Spanish fortifications and amps. With the expedition under General Morlet is no less a person than General Julio Sangullly, whose release was wrung from Weyler during the Cleveland administration. The expedition was far more impor- | tant than the number of men taken along would indicate. The Florida car- ried a warlike cargo. piles of boxes holding no less than 30,- 000 Springfield rifles, with encugh am- munition of the right caliber to make them effective. There were also rapid- fire guns of the Hotchkiss type for the insurgent artillery forces, with plenty | of shells. These arms will enable Gen- eral Garcla, for whom they are des- tined, to not only equip 30,000 additional troops, but to supply his own men with the ammunition of which they have | been in such urgent need. He will also be able to form and equip several bat- teries of light artillery with rapid-fire guns—a weapon which has always proven effective in the hands of the | insurgents. Besides the large consignment of guns and ammunition, the Florida car- ried supplies of food, clothing and med- icine for the insurgent army. There are also seventy-five mules for the supplies from the coast. HARBOR OF SAN DIEGO PROTECTED BY MINES | Work of Planting Explosives Com- pleted by Lieutenant Mey- ler’s Force. SAN DIEGO, May 24.—Lieutenant Meyler, U. S. A., who has been entrust- | ed with the work of planting the mines in San Diego harbor, announced to- night that the work had been complet- ed. The exact number of mines will not be made public, but it is known that there are enough to blow an entire fleet into driftwood. The entire channel is protected. It is expected that a small steamer | to be used for patrol duty will come | from San Francisco soon. Until ar- rangements are perfected for maintain- ing the patrol in the usual manner, Lieutenant Meyler has adopted tempo- rary rules that will be no less effective. Sentinels will be placed in boats beyond the mines with instructions to warn incoming vessels, and a 12-pound brass gun now mounted at Ballast Point will back up the men in their warning. Any incoming or outgoing vessel violating the rules adopted by the War Depart- ment respecting this harbor will be brought to by a shot across her bows. e e s Vote against the new charter be- cause the new provisions in relation | to the Police Courts are unwise and pernicious. e Steamer Ukiah will accompany the volunteer fleet to the heads.

Before Spanish re-enforcements can reach the islands the formidable coast defender Monterey | will have arrived in the harbor of Man- | fla, and will be closely followed by a large number of regular and volunteer | American troops. The War Department to-day has taken up vigorously the question of transporting troops to Manila, and if further difficulty is experienced in chartering vessels for that purpose the right of eminent domain will be exer- cised, and such vessels as are needed will be forcibly pressed into service. | The department is especially anxious to } | secure the Tacoma and Victoria of the | Northern Pacific Company, and nego- | tiations suspended a few days ago have | been resumed for the charter of the | Ohio and Conemaugh of the Red Star line.

The de- | partment is disposed to treat the steam- ship companies as liberally as possible, | but will resent any attempt to take ad- | vantage of the Government's necessi- | ties. [FUND FOR SURVIVORS OF THE WRECKED MAINE Washington Women Raise a Large | Sum for the Wounded and Fam- ilies of the Dead. NEW YORK, May 24.—A Washington special to the Herald says: Since the | war began the Maine disaster, which | was its immediate cause, has rather | | dropped out of sight; but there is a lit- | tle band of women in this ¢ity which | in a substantial way has done much to | | relleve the sufferings of the survivors | and the families of the men who were | killed in Havana harbor.

Mrs. Stanford’'s residence was tastily decorated. Friends who had not met since gradu- ating had an opportunity of renewing tles under most pleasing circum- stances, and comparing notes on the slowness of the brighest college dreams in_materializing. Tt was the -romenade concert, how- ever, that put the most fitting climax on the day’s festivities. Long before dark, and when the long lines of lan- terns were still unlighted people had crowded on the quad admiring the grand and beautifully decorated booths and waiting for the entertainment to begin. This affair, peculiar to Stan- ford itself, has become a most enjoy- able feature of the gay commence- ment week. To-night things were arranged on a more elaborate scale than ever before. The music and promenades were the same as of yore, but the ceremony of fitting the class plate of bronze in a square of the quadrangle was an added feature of the evening. The final exer- cises will b> held to-morrow, when di- plomas will be conferred. e e e — Vote against the new charter be- cause there is no adequate provision AR R R R R R T R T R F PRSI I D S S S S SN for the custody of the moneys in the treasury.

AS TO SOLDIERS’ MAIL. Franking Privileges Have Been Ex- tended to Officers and En- listed Men. WASHINGTON, May 24.—In view of existing hostilities between the United States and Spain, which necessitate the presence of its force In service at and near the Philippine Islands and of the fact that postal communication with said islands, as one of the Spanish colonies, is prohibited by the Postmas- ter General’s order, No. 161, dated the 26th ultimo., it is ordered that articles of mail matter for or from persons con- nected with said United States forces shall be subject to the postage rates and conditions applicable to similar ar- ticles in the domestic mails of the United States. The articles shall be sent to the commandant of the forces by every opportunity offered by the sailing of a United States vessel for said forces. The sailing dates of the vessels cannot be announced in advance and the articles should therefore be for- warded promptly to San Francisco in order that they may be dispatched thence to destination at the frst oppor- tunity. The regulation in regard to the mail forces in the field is authorized by an act of Congress passed in 1879, and is as follows: “Letters written by officers, com- missioned or mnon-commissioned, and privates in the military, naval or marine service of the United States, must be plainly marked ‘Soldier’s let ter,’ ‘Sailor’s letter,’ or ‘Marine's letter, as the case may be, and signed there- under with his name and official desig- nation by a fleld or staff officer, post or detachment commander to which com- mand the soldier belongs, or by a sur- geon or chavlain at a hospital where he may be, and in the navy and marine service by the officer In command of the vessel or surgeon on board, or offi- cer commanding naval hospital or de- tachment on shore. Letters so cer- tified will be forwarded charged with Postage due at single rates only, to be collected on delivery.” Thhn‘uhfinnlllnnn-wim;hm. i RIOTING IN RESS AT MANILA Dewey Promptly Responds to a Threat Made by the Consul.

CAMPAIGN OF DELAY AGAINST ANNEXATION. | Senator White Gives Notice That the Treaty Will Be Opposed With Determination. NEW YORK, May 24—The Herald’s ‘Washington correspondent says: When the Hawaiian annexation matter comes { up in the Senate it will be fought with great determination by Senator White and other opponents of annexation. Senator White has given nc e that a campaign of delay will be entered upon, which will indefinitely postpone the adjournment of Congress and will retard all legislation, no matter how pressing in importance. Representative Tawney of Minnesota presented Captain Hatch of Minnesota to the President to-day. Mr. Tawne: in discussing the Hawaiian anne: tion issue, gave his personal opinion that the report of the Foreign Affairs Committee on the Newlands resolution would be taken up in the House the latter part of this week and time for He has made licans ready to vote for annexation.
