A BIG GARRISON AT HONOLULU. All Remaining Expeditionary Porces to Be Sent at Once to the Islands—General Merriam Sails This Morning.

Whether they ever will see active campaign service is problematical. That depends upon the course of events in the Philippines. “The Arizona and Scandia could not carry a diers, as we had to make room for extra supplies that were demanded for I had no orders except to send the troops that have been desig- Manlila. nated for these two ships, which take less than 2000 soldfers, although their combined capacity is 3300.

Formal Charges Have Been Preferred Against the Four Men Under Arrest. Privates Davis, Clarke and Anderson, of Company L, and Scruggs of Company E, First Tennessee Regiment, are the soldiers who will have to appear Hefore a court-martial to answer to the charge of assault upon the person and property of Dan Thomas. Lieutenant Fowler, who conducted the investigation, sub- mitted to General Miller yesterday, through Colonel Smith, the charges that he has preferred against these men. Ue only found evidence to implicate the men named, although more soldiers were engaged in the riot. The men will be ordered before a court-martial this week, and there is no doubt that they will be severely punished. Private Scruzzs will have to answer to the separate charge of assaulting Thomas when he was in the custody of Major Cheathim. This charge is the most serious of any preferred. Colonel Smith has not yet replied to the bill of complaint of the Thomas family, asking for $5000 damages, which wa u mitted to him by General Mille: hen the colonel makes his formal reply, which will be this week, General Miller will appoint the board of officers to assess the damages.

All Companion Fruit-Pickers on the Wright nanch—Cause of Crime Unknown—Assassin Under Arrest. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Aug. 20.—A deliberate at- tempt at double murder was made by John Cohkati upon John Ban and An- tonfo Luco this evening about sun- down. Ban will probably die, but Luco has only a flesh wound. The only rea- son that both were not killed outright is that the horse attached to the wagon containing all three men jumped and deflected the assassin’s aim. All the parties are Slavonians. They have been at work on the fruit ranch of Dan Wright in the Willows, not far from | Campbell. ‘When the men quit work this even- ing they got into a wagon to come to town. The two men who were shot took seats in front. The would-be murderer got up behind. Before they started Cohkati pulled a big pistol and fired directly at Ban. The horse jump- ed, but not in time to save the vic- tim, who received a ball in the back be- tween the point of the left shoulder and the spinal column. Another shot was taken at Luco, but the jump of the horse caused the bullet to inflict only a flesh wound. A crowd of employes ran up and the infuriated man emptied his pistol at them, but hit no one. He escaped and came to town, where he was arrested in a Slavonian restaurant. No cause for the shooting is known. To-night Ban is reported to be in an exceedingly dangerous condition and the physicians-doubt his recovery. He remains at the ranch, where he was shot, being cared for by the owner. —————— Big Fire in Baker City, Oregon.
