" I ADDRESS ALL ORDERS T0 GAZETTE. the Philippines to Augment the Hav’o Been Sent to Manila to Guard the Harbor Against Spanish Vessels—Get- ting the Transports Ready. San Francisco, June 4.—Orders have been issued by General Otis, comman- board ships for the Philippines next Tuesday. Rations for six months are to be taken and 400 rounds of ammuni- tion will be supplied each man. It is not known definitely when the second expedition will start, but it is believed it will get off by Thursday next. The work of coaling' the transports, China, Zealandia and Colon, is pro- ceeding steadily. The Zealandia will be fully coaled within twenty-four hours, but the other two vessels will not re- ceive their supply before Monday or Tuesday. Patent bunks, convertible in— to settees, probably will be put in all three vessels. The steamers Ohio and Centennial, now due here, will join the fleet of transports. It is stated that the accommodations for troops on the China are even worse than those on the City of Pekin, which carried away the first California regiment. Military officers here hope to effect a. change for the better before the soldiers em~ bark. It is semi-officiallv stated that two more vessels will be chartered by the government for the second Manila ex- pedition, but the impression prevails that they will be colliers, one of which will accompany the Monadnook in the event of that monitor’s being sent to Honolulu as now seems probable. Supplies in Immense Quantities. Supplies for the Manila flotilla are being bought in immense quantities and the stocks of some merchants here have been exhausted. General Merritt is using every effdrt to collectoreliab’le information regard- ing the Philippines as a scene of mili- tary operations. Data of every kind are being collected and books and maps are purchased daily. A bureau of mil- itary information has been established at headquarters and placed in charge of Major J. F. Bell of the engineer corps. . It is now thought that no cavalry will be taken to the Philippines. Experience has shown that the shipment of Amer- ican horses would be impracticable, and it would be verydimcult to secure enough of the native stock. The Catholic Truth Society has ar-g. . ranged to erect a tent capable ofngp commodating 2,000 people close to“ Camp Merritt, and the priests of this city ' have arranged to alternate in holding mass on week days as well as on Sun- days. Catholic soldiers will be granted full libertv to attend these services. Washington, June 4.—In addition to the monitors Monterey and Monadnock the navy department wil send the gun- .boat Bennington to augment Admiral Dewey’s forces at Manilafi The Ben- nington is at Honolulu, where she was sent during the trouble between Japan and Hawaii last year. It is probable that she will return to'the Mare Island navy yard to undergo an overhauling before starting for Ma- nila. The Monadnock will be ready in time to convcfyr the third consignmentof troops to the Philippines. Under the present plan of the navy department both the Monterey and the Monadnock will be towed most of the distance from nonoluiu to Manila. This is deemed necessary for several reasons. If a storm should arise, causing one of the monitors to be cast adrift by'the towing vessel, she would have plenty of coal in her bunkers to proceed under her own steam until the storm subsid- ed. Another contingency would be the appearance of Spanish vessels. In that event the monitor would be the main dependence of the transports. She would be obliged to protect them from the enemy, and in assuming an aggres- sive position could not remain attached to a tow line. Effective measures said to have been taken by the administration will short- ly render Manila harbor impregnable against Spanish attack. In. connection with the defences of that harbor it is said that the Citv of Pekin carried with her to the far East a large number of mines, containing fifty pounds of guncotton of the same character as those which were sent to the North Atlantic squadron at the re. quest of Rear Admiral Sampson. CREWS OF PRIZE-S TO BE RELEASED. They “'1” Be quuired to Promise Not to Bear Arms Against the United States. Key West, June 4.—In accordance with instructions from the attorney general, the United States court is ar-~ ranging for the'release of the crews of prizes taken since the war began. The ordinary procedure in war times is to hold the ship and let the crew go, but as many Spaniards now here belong to the naval reserve or the Havana vol- unteers, and might take up arms on that they be required to sign a pa- role. , About 300 of them :have pledged themselves not to bear arms against the United States. Each has a copy of his parole and a duplicate is filed herein the United States court. A large number will go to Cadiz and to Barcelona on the release of the prizes Catalina and Miguel J-over in a few days. Others will be turned over to the care of the Austrian consuls at Mobile and Apalachicola. I A Patriotic Chllmmau. San Francisco, June 4.—-Kum Shu, editor of the Chinese newspaper in this city, has opened a subscription list for the Red Cross Society among his coun- trymen and has aheady secured $100 from the Sam Yup Company. He is Writing up the work of the Red Cross in his paper and is confident that a .‘large amount of money can be raised among the Chinese here. . , . l.

WAR VEssELs FOR DEWEYL AYEAR’S WAR EXPENSES American Fleet There—DIines Said to. l 5 THE BULLlllN The Gunboat Bennington to Be Sent to Four Million Dollars a lilonth Authorized Silver Certificates to Be Issued Based Upon the Seigniurage—Debate As to the Length of Time the War \Vill Last, and the Amount of Money Actually Needed to Carry It 011. _Washington, June 4.—T.he senate has agreed to substitute the ‘Wolcott am- ding the Colorado and Pennsylvania endment to the war revenue bill for troops now at Camp Merritt, to go onl the finance committee provision in re- gard to the coinage of the silver seign- . iorage to the extent of $42,000,000 which one year, 'mates were only about half the esti- is to be the amount first coined. The vote stood 48 to 31. The amendment as agreed to fol- lows: “That the secretary of the treasury shall immediately cause to be coined, as fast as possible, into stand- ard. silver dollars, to an amount of ,not less than $4,000,000 per month, which shall be of like weight and fineness, and of like legal—tender quality as those provided for under existing law, all the silver bullion now held in the treasury. “That the secretary or the treasury is authorized and directed to issue, as said silver is coined, silver certificates of similar design and denominations and of the same quality, payable and redeemable in like manner as those authorized by law, to the amount of the gain or seigniorage derived from the purchases of silver bullion by the treasury under the act of July 14, 1890, until the sum of $42,000,000 shall have been issued. “That all said moneys so coined, in- cluding the amounts of the gains or seigniorage so coined, shall be used both for the redemption of the treasa ury notes heretofore issued under and by virtue of the act of Julv 14, 1890. and for the redemption of the certifi- cates issued under this act.” Amendments to Be Considered. In the course of a brief colloquy, when the war revenue bill was tak- en up,_ concerning the priority of the amendments yet to be considered, Mr. Jones, Democrat of Arkansas, expres- sed the opinion that all the revenue features of the bill ought to be com- pleted and passed upon before the bond provision was passed upon, because the amount of revenue raised might ,have‘ great weight in’ the determina- tion of some other pending amend- ments. He was satisfied, he said, that the bond provision would bevincorpora- ted in the‘ bill, but held that senators ought to know what the bill would, raise approximately before being‘cab led upon to vote on the bond ques- . tion. Mr. Hale, _Republican of Maine, in- quired whether Mr. Jones thought the small amount comparatively which would be raised by the pending reve- nue amendments would be sufficient. “I have no doubt," he continued, “that if this war lasts a year it will cost the government . betw‘een $700,000,000 and $800,000,000. That is my prediction, and I put myself on record to that ef- fect.” Mr. Jones said that so much money might be spent, but he did'not think so. He was satisfied, at all events. that an issue of bonds was unneces- sary. “I do not believe," said he, “that the war will last one year, six months or, anything like, that time. And the cost will Certainly be much less than stated by the senator (Mr. Hale). The secretaries of war and the navy each made an estimate of the expenses for and their aggregate esti- mates of the senator from Maine." Mr. Hale pointed out that no war was so expensive as an expeditionary war. He said he had examined all the. estimates ”made upon the'e’xpenses of the war and he was satisfied they would reach certainly $700,000,0000. Bill 2 Permanent Measure. Mr. Teller silver Republican of Colo- rado, reviewed tariff legislation dur- ing the last ten years, and themasaid it was evident that this bill was not to be a temporary measure. It was to all intents and purposes to be-a permanent law. The expenses of the war would be large, but they would not end with the close of the war. The United States, he said, proposed to have a great navv, commensurate with the dignityr and development fl our, country, and in addition, all the cities along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts 'had a right to demand protec- tion from foreign invasion. The ex- penses of the government were great now, but they were certain to be great- er at the close of the war. Mr. Aldrich said that careful esti« mates had been made of the revenue prolucing qualities of the bill, and he was satisfied the amount. would be be~ ‘tween $150,000,000 and $200.000,000, cer- tainly not in excess of the latter sum. The expenses of the war would not be less, he said, than’$300,000,000, and he believed that they would far exceed that sum. AVENGING A WRONG. Louis Mal-tellvs Fatally “'mmded By a Desperate Husband. :- Alfred, Me., June 4.——Louis Martelles, who was released from jail here yes- terday, having completed a term to which he was sentenced for a misde- meanor, in which Mrs. Joseph Glendon was involved, was shot and probably fatally injured by the husband of the woman as he left the jail. Officers who witnessed the shooting followed Glendon, who, when he found that he could not escape, placed the revolver with which he had shot Mar- telles against his own breast and fired a bullet through his heart. He died instantly. The physicians say that Martelles cannot recover. 'Regular Service to Colon. New 'York, June 4.—The Panama Railroad has ,resumed the regular sail- . ing of its steamships between this port and Colon. When Admiral Cervera's ships were believed to be cruising about the Caribbean sea the sailings Were ' suspended for a few days, but the bot- tling up of the Spanish fieet’at Santi- ago has changed the situation. THE ST._'PAUL IN PORT Comes Here for Orders and to Get Coal and More Provisions. New York, June ,4.—'1‘he United States auxiliary cruiser St. Paul, for- merly of the American line ,of trans- atlantic steamships, is now lying oft Tompkinsville, S. I., after a two weeks' cruise in West Indian waters. The vessel was'on guard and scout duty at the harbor of Santiago de Cuba for nine days,-from May.20’to May 29. No specially interesting work was done by the St. Paul besides her capture of the British coal steamship/Restormel the harbor forts. ' . Captain Sigsbee, the former com- mander of the battleship Maine, now in command of the St. Paul, left at once for Washington to deliver dis- patches and receive orders. The St. Paul was ordered to this port by Rear Admiral Sampson for coal, water and further minor‘ equipment of her arma- ment. Why she did not get coal and water at Kev West instead of run-. ning so far north, is not explained ex— cept by the fact that possibly the ves- sel being so speedy the loss of a few days would be more than commensu- rate with the needless depletion of the Key West supplies. Another theory ad- vanced is that possibly the St. Paul is to be ordered away under sealed or- ders as was the St. Louis, which touch- ed here last week, ancf which has not since been heard from. The St. Paul will lie in the upper bay for four or five days, while 3,000 tons of coal and 200,000 gallons of fresh water are put aboard. Many of the officers were al- lowed short shore leave. but the sea- men were not permitted to leave the ship. ‘ The St. Paul, quite unlike the for- mer glistening first class ocean grey- hound, in a coat of dull, leaden-colored paint from water line to topmost truck, anl with a' battery of eighteen guns, left Hampton Roads on May 15 last for Key West. From Key West she was ordered to scouting duty, and left there on May 18. The cruise: reached the Santiago harbor two days later, after touching at Cape Hay— tien with and for dispatches. At San- tiago the vessel watched the harbor closely and on May 23 she was rewar- ded with a glimpse of several Spanish boats. Captain Slgsbee is quite con- boat destroyers. YELLOW FEVER ON THE GARRICK. On'e Seaman Dead, Another Recovering— "lfhe Steamer to. Be Dlsinfected. New York, June 4.—Tlhe Lamport 6: Holt steamer Garrick, which arrived yesterday from South American ports, was held at quarantine for disinfec- tion. Captain Edlin reports that on May 12, at Victoria, Brazil, Wilhelm Collins, twenty years old, a fireman, died of vellOw fever and" was buried there; also that on the 17th, at Bahia, T. Hanson,- a. seaman, was stricken with the same disease. 'On arrival Hansen was convalescent, but was removed to Swinburne Island Hospital for treat- ment. -_ , Captain Edlin also reports that Cap- tain Black of the steamer Hogarth, who was left in the hospital at Santos, suffering with yellow fever, died:there on May 7, and was buried in the ceme- tery o fthat place. The Garrick will be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected and will probably be released very soon. FOR COAST DEFENCES. To Recruit 5,000 Men for This Work— NavalBesei-ves to Enlist. New York, June 4.—The auxiliary naval board yesterday inspected the iron sea going tug Zouave. She may be added to the harbor patrol fleet, Rear Admiral Erben and Lieutenant. 'Commander' Jacob W. Miller of the state naval militia, 'held a conference in regard to the manning of vessels-in the coast defence fleet by naval re- serves. ~ , Admiral Erben said that about 5,000 men were needel. Of this number 3,000 will be used in the coast defence ser- vice and 2,000 will be placed on war- ships. Recruiting will be begun at once, and the reserves will be mobil- ized at the coast cities. ' The naval reserves will enlist for one year. Their pay will be the same as the regular army private. Admiral Erben expects to have 1,000 men mus- next week. THE NEW PRIMARY LAW. Attorney~General Hancock Gins an Opin- ion Concerning Pastor Ballots. Albany, June 4.—-Attorney General Hancock, in reply to the question as to new primary election law, writes as fol- lows: “Nowhere in the law do 1 find any express provision as to the use of pas- ter .ballots. The duty of preparing the ballots to be voted at a primary elec- tion is not by law imposed upon the custodian of primary records, but may pared by such custodian. “It would seem that ‘paster ballots,’ while not expressly prohibited by the act, would not only be unnecessary, but might cause the ballots upon which they are used to be protested as mark— ed for identification.” Spanish Captives Released. New York, June 4.—-The passengers and crew of the, Spanish steamer Rita. captured on May 8, while on her way to San Juan, Porto Rico, by the aux- I iliary cruiser Yale,. were brought to ' New York yesterday by the Clyde liner Seminole. There were thirty-seven prisoners and they were in charge of United States Marshal Melton. The Spaniards will be turned over to the Austrian consul, who will send them back to Spain as soon as possi- ble. \ Work on Cruiser Columbia. New York, June 4.—Tne work. of re- moving the below water line plates l from the disabled cruiser Columbia’s hull is still in progress. This is a slow process, and will take a longer time than the other work. > No information could be obtained at the commandant’s office concerning the 1 length of time necessary to get the cruiser ready again.

No Shrinking, No shirking, But On! On! is the'Cry— No More Time to Be Wasted. The wannow being waged on land and sea. w1th the forces of Spain, is dupl1cated__ by the conflict eternally gomg on in'every human body with the forces offd1sease and death. Mucous .“disle'ases, ' resulting from colds develop- ‘lng 1nto catarrh, have for years been steadily . increasing in the United States. Their increase has been spec- ially marked in Norwalk. But these diseases have met a conqueror. For seved'months California Catarrh Cure has fought for the health and comfort of N orwalk citizens. The wonderfully rapid decrease in catarrh, tonsilitis, bronchltls, pneumonia, diptheria and catarrh of the internal organs, during these months, is traced directly to Cali- fornia Catarrh Cure. Norwalk citizens can be no longer deceived. Old and useless methods of treating this disease have had to give way before the mar- velous success of California Catarrh Cure. The people who want health will no longer waste time and money on other treatment when California Ca.- tarrh Cure gives results like the fol- lowing: Mr. H. L. Woodworth, of 1 Burbank street, South Norwalk, says: “I have been troubled with catarrh for some time; my head and nose seemed pretty well stuifed up, and the quantities of matter that run into my throat at night, would cause me to hawk, spit,and often gag 1n the morning, before I could clear my throat. I got some California Catarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug store, and already these symptoms are very much better. My throat is finely free from all matter in the morning, and my whole head feels much clearer.” Do not sneeze and sufier from head and colds or hay fever. California Catarrh Cure cures one; it will surely prevent the other. A ' V ‘ r ' Cllflszurnt by the Sea. Fancy the waves of the sea. setting fire to the, cliffs they break on! Yet this is what did really happen at Bal- . . lybunion, on the western coast of Ire- land. These rocks, which the great ,Atlantic rollers had for centuries been L slowly breaking down and piercing with great caverns, contain in their depths masses of iron pyrites and alum. At last the water penetrated to these, and a rapid oxidization took place, which, produced a. heat fierce enough to set the whole cliff on fire. For weeks the rocks burnt, a. regular volcano, and great clouds of smoke and vapor rose high in the air. When at last the fire died out, great masses of lava and clay burnt to brick were seen in every direction.—-Golden Days. I A Speedy Cure: flu—r In an out-of-the-way part of West- moreland, a old farmer. well known for his'miserly habits, in order to save the candles, used to give the farm hands their supper in semi-darkness. The laborers grumbled at this, but the farmer took no notice. Things went on much in the same way for some time, till the farmer had occa- sion to hire another farm-hand, named Tam Waring. Tam, who was well known to some of the other laborers as a wild and rock less sort of character. and always ready for mischief, was informed how mat. ters stood. That night at supper, which consist. ed-of pdl‘l'i‘dgE, Tam took his seat on the-right—hand side of the farmer, and, watching .his opportunity, quickly, plunged a. spoonful of h0t”§0rridgg 1n- tothe farmer's mouth. The ; farmer jumped up With a roar of agony, and demanded an explanation. “Weel, fairmer,” replied Tam, «w; sae daurk, Ah couldn’t tell whaur Ah was pittin’ it. All thocht it was 1' my; ain mooth.” After that the farmer always took good care to have the kitchen well lighted. - Wu K ~ 11w "Ilse“ of cleaning: Wlien Washiné Powder will do the bieécstparl? ”/1015" file use of ‘ fretting and wearlnq your life out on the dishes . and the silverwarezthc pots and the pans, When Ivor/m will do the work?
