fact was that the transportation COM
panies did not anticipate handling so
many people, but ample provision has
been made for today.
Notwithstanding many rumors to the
contrary, the Charleston will remain at
Redondo until next Monday. Captain
Remy informed the HERALD reporter
that he would surely stay till Saturday,
and last night Captain Ainsworth said
he had positive assurances from Wash
