Colonel Freeman confidently expects to be ordered to rejoin his regi- | ment, the Twenty-fourth Infantry, in the Philippines within the next three weeks and the general impression is that Major Rucker, now of the Fourth Cavalry,. will step into his shoes as commandant. Major | Rucker of the Fourth and Major Rogers | of the Sixth C: Iry have applied to be allowed to swap commands, and as the request will undoubtedly be granted Ma- jor Rucker will be the senior officer at the Presidio should the expected transfer of several additional troops of the Sixth Cavalry to the Presidio take place. If the headquarters of the cavalry regiment be transferred to this post Lieutenant Colo- nel Wint will become the post command- ant in the absence of the colonel, who is in the Phlll(!plnel, but the headquarters | are not likely to come here immediately, | This morning the last monthly muster of the year at the Presidio wiil be held. There are approximately 1000 soldiers at the post and they will r' ke quite an at- tractive appearance. The charters of the animal tranaports Centenrial and Tartar will probably be renewed, as there are seven hundred horses now nwnmns transportation to the Philippines, and orders have been issued for the Immediate purchase of three hun- dred more. The Centennial recently re- turned from Honolulu, where three hun- dred horses were landed en route to the Philippines. Captain Keeler and Veter- inary Surgeon Williamson had charge of the horses on the trip and but two were lost, which is considered a remarkably good ‘showing. The name of Colonel Oscar F.

A succeséion of north-northwest gales, ac- companied by a heavy cross sea, made it impossible for the vessels to make any headway, but nevertheless both ships es- caped with but slight damage. The Marechal de Turenne and the Ra- Jore were two of the vessels on which the underwriters were paying 7 per cent re- insurance. Nelther ship was ever in the slightest danger and both had uneventful voyages, except for the heavy weather oft the Horn which every shipmaster ex- pects. Captain Panniere of the Turenne was recelved with open arms by the French colony on the front. His vessel made the run from Swansea in 150 days, & good average passage, while the Nor- mandle is out 155 days, the Invermay 165 General Neumayer 179 days from the same port. Strange to say, the Invermay, & British bark, is the only one of the quar- tet on which no reinsurance is being of- fered. She was spoken on August 7 last in latitude 14 north, longitude 2 west, and is expected to make port any day now. The Rajore also made a good passage of 168 days from Newcastle, England. She | beats the Godiva, which sailed the same day, the Crown of Denmark, 178 days out, and the Blackbraes, 210 out from the same port. The latter vessel and the Ra- | Jore were in company off the Horn during | October. The Blackbraes had to put into Port Stanly in distress, but Captain Gar- rioch only reports that on October 23, in latitude 57 degrees south, longitude 72 de- grees west he had a succession of head gales from the north-northwest, accom- panied by a “fearful high cross sea.” The ship labored a great deal and heavy seas broke aboard constantly. The barometer was down to 28,15 and {n consequence the Rajore was snugged down to a goose- winged lowe; Even with that canvas the ship made er of it and everybody on pleased when the Horn was‘ sed. On December 21 the Rajore spoke the | Godiva In latitude 34 degrees minutes | north, longitude 132 degrees 0.2 minutes west. ' In consequence another of the over- due fleet i accounted for and should make port at an early date. Late in the afternoon the ship Peleus | from Cardiff was sighted off the heads. She made the run in 112 days, beating the Australian, on which 15 per cent reinsur- | ance is being offéred, nearly a month and | a half from the same port. As stated in The Call, the majority of the overdue fleet will reach port, but before they are | all accounted for there will surely be one | or two disasters to chronicle. The gasoline schooner Bessie K arrived from Clipperton Island y She brought up a number of 1 s, but only five tons of guano, and as that is the article upon which the Pacific Islands Company depends to pay its dividends voyage may be considered a failure. The Bessie K brought back from_Clipperton aptain Holman and wife, A. St. J. Oliver and eleven Japanese. Captain Holman | went down as superintendent of the set- | tlement on_the island, and his wife ac- | companied him. The couple have been on‘ the guano island for eight months. and it e to say that Mrs. Holman wiil never | go back there again. She is a very sick | woman, and nothing but her marvelous | courage as kept her alive until S8an Fran. cisco was reached. *“Oh! the monotony of the place,” sald she yesterday. "Nothing but water for the eye to rest upon. Tne | island is only a fringe of sand cov ed rocks. in the center is a_lagoon about | two miles long by two and a half miles | The latter is a good place to go | little brackish. During our stay of eight months not a sail hove in sight, and day in and day out there was nothing to_do but eat and watch the land:crabs. The crabs are only little bits of fello: they will live and thrive on anything ex- cept sulphuric acid. That kills them, but [ there is 1o other known poison that seems | to fease them. | J Oliver was the Pacific Islands | s bookkeeper on Clipperton. He | yesterday that Willlam Freeth and | x Japanese and two Hawallans had been left on the Island to look after the com- pany's interests. He rather enjoyed his eight months' stay on the island. There | was boat sailing in the lagoon, surf bath- | ing in the ocean and hunting the wild fowl that come to the islands during cer- tain months of the year. The weather was 80 heavy that the Bessie K .could not land her boats and in consequence | she had to return to San Francisco with only five tons of guano. Another vessel | will be sent to Clipperton in the spring. | The Gaelic w T sed from quaran-| tine yesterday t 40 the Mail dock. The steerage p: engers and all their be- | longings were fumigated, while the en- tire crew_was subjected to a rigid exam- ination. When the quarantine officer was satisfied that there was no further fear | of infection he released the vessel. The Mail Company’s steamer Acapulco | arrived from Panama and way ports yes- | terday. She brought a very heavy cargo, the bulk of which came from New York, The passage and a few cabin passengers. was an uneventful one. | The transport Aztec will sall for Ma- nila with horses on January 2, while the | Sheridan will get away for Seattle to load for Manila two days later. The sailing of the Aztec has been delayed ow- ing to the bubonic plague scare in Ho- nolulu. The chances are that the steamer Tartar will be rechartered by the Gov- ernment. There is a_ great quantity of rush freight on hand for the Philippines, and as a vessel of the Tartar's capacity is required the chances are that she will be secured by the Government for an- other trip. The schooner Penelope had a narrow escape from the north rocks last Friday night. She was coming in from San Pe- dro, when the tide caught her and car- ried her down on the point. Luckily the anchors held and yesterday morning she got out of her dangerous predicament and sailed into port. The Penelope I8 to be fitted out for a whaling and trading cruise in the Arctic.
