Fourth Manila Expedition at. Honolulu Safely. The Men Aboard Were All Well, Washington, D. 0., Aug. 3.-—Aithougli the war department- officials will not admit that they have any information of reinforcing further General Mer- ritt’s force-s at Cavite, there is reason to believe that some of the troops now in eastern camps who desire to see active service will soon find the oppor— tunity unless the government shall change its present plans with respect to the Philippines. It is believed 'to be necessary even if our claim is limited to the claims stat- ed in the conditions submit-ted to Spain, namely, to the military occupation and government of :the territory on the shores of the bay of Manila to furnish to General Merritt a larger force than he has now at his command. It is realized that 20,000 soldiers can scarcely be expected to maintain United States possessions and protect the in- habitants over a territory of this, ex- tent, for i’t’must be remembered that the’bay of Manila is twenty-five miles deep from the entrance. at Corridor is- land to the city of Manila at its head. It will also be necessary to possess protection extending some distance back to the bay in order'to make sure of the preservation of the water works. - Of course a considerable force would not be necessary if the insurgents un- der Aguinaldo could be taught to real- ize their interests lie in the permitting of United States possession of the ter- ritory. But the natives would not keep the rich loot to be had in Manila without an adequate force to protect the place. Then with the growing heat and damp- ness it is to be expected that illness will develop among the troops; not to the extent thatit appeared at Santiago, but sufficient to require some of the men to be invalided home and their places to be taken by fresh troops. from the United States. .At present the large majority of General Merritts force is composed of troops drawn from the Pacific coast or far western states. -v San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 3.‘~—In reply to a dispatch received from General Merritt, now at Cavite, General Merri- am yesterday cabled that since the de- parture of :the governor general of the Philippines five transports with 4,897 men had sailed from this por-t. Scarcely had the message been sent before General Merriam received word from the war department that Gener- al Merritt had asked to have his com- mand increased from 20,000 to 50,000 troops in order to be able to meet any; emergency which may arise on account of the hostile attitude of Aguinaldo-gnd the_ insurgent forces. ' Fourth Expedition at Honolulu. San Francisco, Cal, Aug. z—The steam-er Doric, which arrived last eve» ning, brought news of the arrival at Honolulu of- the fourth Manila. emitti- tion. The Doric left Honolulu last Monday. The transports arrived there the day before wtth all on board we'll and on Monday the boys in blue were ashore and were given a. ma] recep- tion and a grand feast. The fourth expedition left 'xhere July 15 and reached Honolulu without mis- hap to either of the vessals. Great preparations are being male at the is- lands for a grand celebration on the arrival of the annexation commission- ers and the raising of the Stars and Stripes. The recruits of the First Colorado, Second Oregon and First Nebraska, by order of Brigadier General King, have been added to the command of Lien- tenant Colonel Barnett, making. with [the recruits of the Tenth Pennsylva- nia, a. force of 1,0000 men. This action was taken in order to mobilize the scattered Camp Merritt forces. The Dead Chancellor. , Friedrichsruhe, Aug. 3,—The emperor and empress arrived at the castle yes— terday afternoon and took their de- parture after a visit of half an hour. The stories of friction between the em— peror and the Bismarcks are somewhat weakened by the fact that the emperor upon arriving at the castle kissed Prince Herbert Bismarck upon both cheeks. Two hundred or more persons assem- bled outside the gates of the castle, awaiting the arrival of the emperor and empress. It is learned that Prince Bismarck left a fortune of 30,000,000 marks, of which Count William Bismarck and his sister, the Countess 'von Rantzau. get 1,000,000 marks each, the remainder going ‘to Count, now Prince, Herbert Bismarck. The family received holy communion yesterday morning in the castle. Prince Herbert Bismarck has refus— ed to allow the sculptor Begas to take a. plaster cast of the features of his father, or even to make a sketch of his face.

New York, Aug. 3.—-There were only two bids—$125,000 and $130,000—when the prize steamship Guido was put up at auction yesterday at the Mallory line dock, Pier 20, East river. ' The auctioneer refused to give the name of the first bidder, but it was said that the bid was. made to protect the sailors who captured, the ship and am- ong whom the prize money will be di- vided. For four minutes there was no other bid. Then W. D. Munson bid $130,000 and as there was no advance for three minutes, the ship and her equipment were knocked 'down to Mr. Munson, who said he acted for the New York and Cuba Mail Company. * 0m- Trnops at Coamo.

Orders were to be issued to— day for them to embark :to-morrow on the transports Lalmie and Charles Nel- son, preparatory to their departure on the following day. ~ ~ Major Chase examined the steam- ships yesterday and expressed his sat- isfaction with them. The steamship North Fork, however, was relegated to duty as a freight carrier. , The Alliance of Locke, Johnson & Co, left Seattle for San Francisco to-day, and; will be placed at the disposition of the govern- ment for the transportation of troops to Honolulu. Even with this there will be 300 men unprovided‘ for. The contract made by Major. General Otis on behalf of the governmentt with Locke, Johnson & 00., provides a de- murrage of $350 a day for delay caused by the United States, while making no provisions for rtardiness on the part of the shipping firm. The Tacoma, a-s'adl- ing vessel, will leave on Thursday for Manila. with horses, mules and general supplies. The military authorities here are completely in the dark as to th Athenian and Tartar, which have be ‘ reported as purchased by the war de- partment for the transportation of troops to the Philippines. The North American Commercial Company is negotiating to charter some 0! its Alaska. steamships, particularly the Leeienaw, which is due to arrive at any moment.

Madrid, Aug. 3.——An official dispatch from Havana says that four hundred insulrgen'ts recently attacked the Span- ish detachment, numbering twenty men and commanded by a sergeant, near Huanes, in the western part of the province of Pin'ar del Rio. After a fearful fight, the dispatch says, the in- surgents fled, having killed ten of the Spaniards and wounded a number of others. The survivors are to be deco- rated and recompensed. The. Attitude of Don Carlos.

It was addressed to I. Western girl, and besides the card at a young newspaper man, who has . recently come back from Havana, it contained a machete, a. real Cuban machete. The knife was 20 inches long, with a heavy blade, painted blood red to within an inch of the cutting edge. The steel was widened it the lower end, and bent into a hol- Iow handle. , The weapon was as frightful'an implement as you Would rare to see, and the girls, of course, were delighted with it. “Can’t you fancy,” said the proud possessor, “as you look at this rude knife, how some heroic Cuban work- man inthe fastness of the Cuban hills forged this weapon to fight for his rountry and his home? Can’t you fancy him beating prayers into the steel?’ “1 could,” remarked one of the oth- er girls, “if it weren’t for one thing.” “What’s that,” asked everybody. The matter-of-fact girl pointed to a small and inconspicuous label pasted to the blade. "‘Made in Hartford, Donn," it read—Washington Post. Spectaclezl Cows- Cows with spectacles are to be seen on the Russian steppes. The Steppes are covered with snow more than six months of the year. The cows sub- sist on the tufts of grass which crop above the snow, and the rays of the sun on the snow are so dazzling as to cause blindness. To obviate this calamity, it occurred to a kind hearted man to protect the cows’ eyes in the same way as those of human beings, and he manufactured smoke colored spectacles which could be safely worn by cattle. These spectacles were a great success and are now worn by upward of 40,000 head of cattle, which no longer suffer from snow blindness. -New York Herald. . Iced Chocolate.
