DUR TROOPS IN THE EAST
Twenty-Five Hundred Regulars
and Volunteers at Manila.
CAPTURE OF THE LADR0NES
The Spanish Garrison Mt Umata
Surrendered without Resistance.
II Was the Side Trip to the South
Which Delayed the Expedition.
Ships Make Fair Time.

The first military expedition to the
Philippines arrived at Manila on Thurs
day. June 30, with one warship and $500
regular and volunteer troops. The
American flag now flies over the Ladrone
Islands, and the governor of the isl
ands, with his staff and the Spanish
troops in the Islands. are prisoners.
The War and Navy Departments today
received dispatches from Gen. Anderson
and Admiral Dewey confirming the news
of the arrival of the expedition published
in The Times this morning. They also
confirmed the story of the Intended cap
ture of the Ladrone Islands, published ex-
clusively in The Times two weeks ago.
The delay in the arrival OF the expedi-
ton at Manila is fully explained by the
capture of the Ladrone Islands The
Ladrones lie south of the direct route to
the Philippines from San Francisco.
The story of the first Philippine expe-
dition in brief is as follows:
Gen. Anderson did not get away from
San Francisco until May q. nearly
month after the battle of Manila. The
expedition was composed of 2.o0o men
under command of Brig. Gen. T. NJ. An
derson and went on the troopships City
of Pekin. Colon and Australia. The
cruiser Charleston, under command of
Capt. Glass. conveyed the expedition.
The troops of the first expedition are the
First California Volunteers and the Sec
ond Oregon Volunteers, which went, re-
spectively, on the City of Pekin and Aus
tralia: five troops of Regular Cavalry, a
battalion of California Volunteer Heavy
Artillery and a detachment of the Signal
Corps, which went on the Colon. -.
With the expedition went Naval Con-
structor Copps with instructions to. re-
pair any damages to the American ships
and IL possible to raise the Spanish ships.
There are also with the expedition .
large quantity of naval SUPPLIES and med
icai stores.
The expedition arrived at Honolulu June
2, seven days out of San Francisco. The
distance is 2.100 miles in round numbers,
and the trip was thus made at the rate
of about 800 miles a day, or. somewhat
over ten knots an hour.
The expedition left Honolulu on June
4. The distance in the direct line from
Honolulu to the Philippines is 1880 miles
By the way of the Ladrone Islands it is
$3.50 miles. Allowing for the stay of one
or two days at the Ladrones and for
speed of only ten knots an hour, which
the fleet was ordered to steam ii was be-
lieved by officers in the Navy and War
Departments that Manila would not be
reached before about July /.
The side expedition to the Ladrones was
planned by the Administration very care
fully before the ships left San Francisco.
The object of capturing the Ladrones was
to reduce the fort in order to make a safe
coaling station for the Monterey and the
Monadnock and for future expeditions
The only fort and the chief seaport is at

GREAT ENTHUSIASM.
Cheers Ring Out In the War and
Navy Department Building.

The surrender of Santiago is hourly eN-
pected. Cervera's ships are battered,
charred and shapeless hulks, and the fall
of Manila is at hand.
This is Americas day; time of re-
joicing.
The State. War and Navy Department
was wild with enthusiasm today. The
highest officials mingled with the throng
of excited civilians and newspaper cor
respondents that surged through the cor
ridors and discussed the startling events
of the last thirty-siX hours.
Secretary Long paused at the door of
his office to say:
This is a glorious day for the Ameri-
can people"
Secretary Alger declared that this is
the second greatest Fourth of July in the
history of America
Every few minutes someone would vo-
ciferously suggest three cheers for the
Army and the Navy" and then spon-
taneous cheers would echo through the
long dark corridors. Hardly would one
burst of enthusiasm die away, before an
other would follow.
Such scenes were never before enacted
in the State, War, and Navy Depart
ment building.

PRIVATE MAILING CARDS.
4 New Idea in Postal Cards Put Into Gov.
eminent Use.

For several years il has been the
custom in England and English terri
tories. for private parties to furnish
postal cards which We're practically
the same as those used by the govern
ment, except that it was necessary to
place an adhesive stamp equal to the
value of the postage on the postal
card. Following up this idea, there
have been great many private mail
ing cards of different sizes, but which
could only be used for printed matter,
and in the same way as a circular, the
government holding strict monopoly
of the manufacture and use of the
words postal card
An act of Congress approved May
10, authorizes the transmission in the
domestic mails of private postal cards
bearing written messages, at the pos
tage rate of l cent each. The act pro-
vides that the private cards We're to be
mailed under such regulations as the
postmaster general should prescribe
and were to be approximately the
same as the postal cards used by the
United States.
The rules have just been promul-
gated by the postal department, are as
as follows:
First, cards must not exceed the size
known as III" postal cards. which is
3Ax5A inches in dimensions, nor can
they he smaller than the *" card
which is l5-16x4 1916 inches. and the
as the government card; second, the
color of the card may be white, cream,
light grey, or the shade of the govern
ment card, which is called light buff;
third. there must be printed on the
address side of the card, the following
words: Private Mailing Card-Au-
thorized by Act Of Congress, May ~
1895" and when these are prepared. by
either printers or stationers for IL
eral use, there must appear ii the up
per right hand corner an 0blons
square containing the words. Put a
cent stamp here" and on the lower
left hand corner must appear the
words This Side is Exclusively for he
Address"
In addressing the cards which can
be done either in writing or print the
the superscription must be limited Ia
the name and address and if desired
the occupation or business Of the adj
drcssee. which must be briefly stated
and put on merely to assist in the
proper delivery, and not in Che way OF
Advertising: fourth, as to the message
on the cards, it may he either in Writ
ing or print; and there may also ap
pear on the message side Illustrations
advertisements or any similar matter
printed either in black or colors. ca
the front side. in the oblong square
must be placed an adhesive / cent
stamp.
1t is not intended by this act and by
the privilege granted the public un-
der it, to discontinue the ordinary gov
crnmcnt postal cards. which remain
the same. Private postal cards con
tanning written messages, cannot b,
sent to foreign countries unless reGu
lar letter rate of postage is placed is
