MOVEMENTS OF THE CRUISERS

San Francisco, October 19.-The
United States steamer Ranger has ar
rived in Port from Acapulco. The YES
sci has been away from San Francisco
for nearly a year, during which time
she has been cruising along The Central
and South American coasts.
The vessel has been detailed to act
as a receiving ship and to occupy the
same position here 2s the Independence
does at Mare Island. AT present four
hundred men are needed in the navy,
of which number two hundred will go
on the Boston. Owing TO the difficulty
In obtaining enlistments at Mare ISL
and. the Ranger Will remain In the
stream until all the men have been
signed, which may be for month or
six weeks.
The Ranger left the Alert at Callao,
undergoing repairs. The latter was
run into and nearly sunk by a British
merchantmen while she lay at anchor
in the harbor The Alert has been on
the Central and South American coast
for more than six months, and how
much longer she is going to stay south
Is not known. The Marion left here
for Callao on last Saturday, and it is
generally supposed that she will re-
lieve the Alert. 1t will be some time
before the Marion reaches her destina-
ton. as she IS to make a number of
stops on the way down.
The cruiser Boston Is now ready for
sea at Mare Island, barring her COM

ence over the other war vessels.
