She was examined Major Long but as very little of her cargo d been taken out at that time a thorough inspection could not be made. In a day or so nearly all her cargo will havé been discharged, and then the. ves- | sel will be again examined. It is the intention of the Government to send a consignment of horses and mules to Manila on the Tacoma. In her lower hold she will carry stores for the army and in her 'tween decks the ani- mals will be quartered. T 1s splendidly adapted for the into which she is Eoing, bet e sea ‘boat, well ventilated and roomy, and a fast saile spiling -:vessels to be put on the berth for Manila, and the majority of afaring men on the front say that a will make as good time to the Philippine: s the s mers. The Tacoma is owned by the ) Packers’ Assoclation and was only re- ntly withdrawn from the Atlantlc trade. year ago she was carrying wheat to furope, and then went to Puget Sound with a general cargo. While lying at Ta- | ship, for which purpose she is particu- coma_experts sent north by the Packers’ | Association examined the vessel and ge- cided to purchase her.

After discharging her cargo at Manila she will probably be turned into an hospital the Government wants to make time I think the Tacoma should be sent via the Straits of San Bernardino.” The chances are that the big collier Ti- tania will be added to the flcet of trans- ports In a few days. She brought down from Nanaimo, B. C., a few days ago over 6000 tons of coal and is now discharg- ing at Port Costa. Yesterday Major Ruh- len, chief quartermaster; Captain H. Z. Howard and F. C. Mills went to Port Costa on the tug Rellance to inspect the vessel. Captain Howard is the Govern- ment's superintendent of transports, and Mr. Mills represented John Rosenfeld's Sons, the owners of the boat. The big steamer was found to be eminently fitted for a transport. She will carry 4500 tons of stores and coal in her lower hold and room can be easily made for 1500 troops in her 'tween decks. She can be got ready almost as quickly as a passenger steamer and would be ready to leave for Manila in a fortnight. The Titania flies the Norwegian flag, and if chartered by the Government she will, of course, receive an American reg- istry. up with the other transports easily. The Centennial Is to be again inspected by the Government, and the prospects are that she also will carry troops to Manila. She will probably go on the drydock next Tuesday, and when she comes off it would not take long to get her ready for the expedition. The inspectors of hulls and bollers have allowed her bollers a pressure of sixty pounds to the square inch and that will give her far more speed than the Government requires. The Pennsylvania is now out eighty-five days from Philadelphia and should have been in several days ago. On May 17 she was in Montevideo with her machinery damaged, but on June 7 she was at Coro- nel. Directly she arrives she will 'be docked and discharged. Then she will be got ready as quickly as possible for the Manila trip. larly well fitted. “The Tacoma is just the ship the Government wants,” said an old sea captain y She will make a fine tra hospital ship. What they ought to do is to send her to the Straits of San Bernar- dino, between the islands of Luzon and Samar. There either the Brutus or Nero could pick her up and tow her to Manila. In that way the voyage would probably not take longer than forty d; If a tow- boat is not used, however, she will have to go by the way of the Ballingtang chan- nel, and then she will probably take two months getting to Manila. The southwest monsoons will blow from now to next | September, and in.the Ballingtang chan- nel she will meet with head wind$ an” a very strong current. There she wili meet the nastiest kind of squally weath- er, and one minute will have a fine sail- ing breeze and the next a dead calm. If Peru ready has progressed rapidly and now the workmen are to®ake a rost.un- til after the Fourth. There is no hurry In getting them ready, as the date of ‘the departure of the next fleet of transports is problematical. Captain Howard says she is in perfect condition and will be able to keep ON SAN RAFAEL | TENNIS COURTS Hardy. .and .

Vigorous complaint is being made by | persons who find it necessary to drive | elther east or west on Sutter street, be- | tween Stockton and Grant avenue, | Between the tracks of the Sutter street raliroad the basalt block pavement has | been worn smooth until*it has acquired the polish and slipperyness of glass. Outside the rails the street is paved with the old style cobblestone, sharp as to point ahd presenting the worst possible | footing for horses. | The smooth pavement between the rails | is the cause daily of serious accidents to horses. On Wednesday a well-known physician was driving over the street, on his daily round of visits. One of his horses fell and pulled his mate down with him. A leg of one of the horses was broken, necessitating his being destroyed. Owing to the steep grade in this block and the great amount of traffic over it, it is one of the most dangerous places in the city. It is not the only one with which fault has been found. There are many sucn places on the Market-street system. The horsemen are not the only ones who are raising their voices in protests. The wheelmen have also entered their com- plaints. There are places where the pavement has been lald, improperly, on an incline. When the unsuspecting wheei- man rides upon these unawares a fall is inevitable. This is especlally true if the roadbed is damp from either fog or the recent passage of the sprinkling cart. Efforts will be made to correct these abuses, especially where they are flagrant n.':zd imperil the lives of persons using them. —_———— ALONG THE WATER FRONT. The Troubles of the City of Dawson Transferred to the Courts. The trouble between Birch & Co. and | the owners of the steamer City of Dawson has been transferred to the courts. Every- thing was quiet around the vessel yester- | day and the unfortunate shareholders | who have their money tied up in the ven- ture have gone back to their homes to walit until the matter is settled. The handsome New York pilot schooner Thomas 8. Negus is to make an excursion around the bay and out to the heads to: | morrow. She came here with gold hunt- ers and is a safe and speedy vessel. Fire alarm box 15 has been put in at the ferries and until after the Fourth one of the fire tugs will be stationed in the ferry slips to answer an alarm of fire. —_———— Bonds Under Investigation.
