Baltimore butchers have lodged
complaint against certain shippers Of
cattle to the Claremont Stock Yards,
which the Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty TO Animals will investigate.
They say that the shippers let their
cattle 90 without water for "a 10 4s
hours and then give them salt to eat.
This makes the animals very thirty
and when they arrive in Baltimore
they give them all the water they can
drink before they are offered for sale,
which naturally increases their weight
very much. The same complaint was
made against the shippersabOut year
ago and the practice was then proken
up by the humane society and the off,
cers Of the stock yards.

Papa said the young mother,
"I've decided on a name for the baby.
We will call her Imogen.
Papa was lost in thought for few
minutes. He did not like the name,
but if he opposed it his wife would
have her own way.
That's nice" said he, presently.
"My first sweetheart was named Imo-
gen, and she viii take it as compli-
msnt.
ave viii call her Mary, after my
mother" was the stern reply.

NO ORDERS RECEIVED.
Major General Otis Does Not Know When the Next FIX
 peditiOn Will Sail.

No orders have yet been issued fixing the date upon which the third expedition will sail to the Philippine Islands.
 No orders, official or unofficial, have is- sued designating the troops that will make up the sailing list.
 No significance attaches to the detail ing of three attachments of infantry to guard the transports now lying sea- worthy and ready at the docks.
 These three specific and positive denials of the many rumors that have found ere dence for three days past were made last evening to a Call representative by Major General Otis, in quarters at Camp Mer- ritt.
 When asked if the date had been set for the sailing of the third expedition Major General Otis replied emphatically: NO, sir nor does any one know when it is likely to leave. I do not think General Merritt himself knows. If he does he has said nothing of it either officially or other wise. The expedition will sail just as soon as necessary transports are secured and made ready. That is not yet done. We do not contemplate moving the rest Of the camp with the next expedition. There are not enough available transports on the coast to effect such an exodus. No lnti- nation of the troops to leave with the next expedition has been given, and there is absolutely no significance in the detail ing of the three detachments to guard the four transports now ready. We selected the men for their efficiency and for no other reaSon.'

IN THE START.
A Scow Schooner in Collision With the Big Transport
 China.

Orders had been issued for the four steamers to sail promptly at 11:30 a. m., but owing to delay in getting the Senator ready the fleet did not get away until l p. m. On Tuesday night it was discovered that there was not room on the Senator for all the stores that had to be carried to Manila so 100 tons of coal had to be taken out of the ship and dumped on the dock in order to make room. Then all the cargo had to be restowed, and it was not until 12:30 D.. m. that the Senator was able to leave her berth at Broadway wharf.
 Early in the day the schooner John F. Miller sailed too close to the China, and becoming becalmed drifted down on the big troopship. In order to get clear, Cap tain Seabury had to heave up his anchor and drift down with the tide for short distance. Later the tug Elizabeth came along and lowed the Miller to. place of safety.
 drew Welch. the steamers of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company were all dressed, and presented very pretty ap- pearance. Of the smaller craft the yacht Lucero, the tugs Reliance and Governor Markham were far and away the best dressed in the bay, and they presented a very pretty appearance as they moved in and out among the fleet.
 The battery on the Marion and those at Fort Mason and Fort Point boomed out a farewell salute as the transports passed out to sea. while the cannon on the top of The Call building could be heard distinctly in the bay off Alcatraz.
 At 1:45 p. m the China, Zealandia and Senator were abreast of Alcatraz, but something had happened to the Colon, and she, was. away behind. Lieutenant Schieffelin from the China was transferred to the Reliance and started back to find out what was the matter, but when Lombard-street wharf was reached the Colon was seen coming along under a full head of steam, so an attempt was made to get back to the aboard. That vessel had been forging ahead all the time, however, and was a mile past the fort when the Reliance was only off that landmark. Captain Brokaw dia was signaled, and Captain Dowdell

tion besieged the office of the Spreck- els Towboat Company. anxiously in quiring if there was any means by which they could send parting gifts to friends among the soldiers on board. These packages were placed on board The Calls launch Amy, which made a tour Of the transports at g o'clock, leaving on each ship supply of Calls for the soldiers and those who had pre- ceded them on the first expedition. When the Amy returned she brought several officers and a great pile of let ters sent ashore by the men on the transports to their friends at home last messages for months.
 The Marion's launch was as busy as a bee dancing back and forth between the ships and the dock. On one of her early trips she brought Brigadier Gen. erai Greene, the commander of the forces, who proceeded to General Mer- rltt's Headquarters to receive his final orders. Officers and orderles hurried between the headquarters and the landing place, and everything indicated the early departure of the feet
 Over at Broadway dock the Senator, with the First Nebraska Regiment on board, still fingered, while an immense crowd gathered on the neighboring docks and bulkheads. Afar off on Tele- graph and Russian hills other crowds were uuIIylHS u pOiAtS Ol NdHldSe while out in the bay small craft of every description and gay with bunting paraded before the envious eyes of those on shore.
 The shipping in the stream and alongside the docks dressed ship" In their brightest colors, and it was sig nificant that the great still vessels fly ing the crimson of St. George vied with the American hulls in decorating for the occasion
 General Greene and his adjutant drove down to the Senator and ascer- taining that she was ready to proceed instructed her commander to remain at the dock until the China hoisted the blue peter" and then to drop into the stream and take her position in line The general then boarded the launch and made tour of the three ships in the stream, after which he went on board the China.

The Re- liance, like the Amy, carried many packages and missives to men on the

the transports were anchored, were lined with people of all ages and both sexes.
 Soon the launch of the naval reserve ship Marion darted around the end of Folsom street pier and bumped against the float at Peterson's boathouse. One of General Greene's aids, who had re- mained ashore all night, and two priv ates, who had gone astray when their troop ship dropped into the stream, boarded the launch and off it puffed to the China, swinging at anchor in the stream.
 From that time on the scene was of steadily increasing interest, while the crowds grew in proportion. Other docks not so favorably located now held their contingent of sightseers, among whom the blue uniforms of sol diers compelled to remain yet a time longer at Camp Merritt were plenti- fully sprinkled.
 When the Marion's launch returned it brought ashore several officers who skurried off uptown the moment their feet touched the dock. People bearing packages of every shape and descrip-

somewhat disappointed at finding the choicest seat on the bulkhead occu- pied, but contented himself with growl- ing out some remark about hoping his neighbor had not camped there all night. The second arrival was not equipped with breakfast, but this lack of oversight did not cause him any un- easiness, and soon the two were dis cussing the war in general and partic- ularly the marine spectacle that had routed them out of their nests in the hay at such an early hour.
 Though these two had passed years on the water front and had witnessed every event of importance on the bay they were keenly alive to the unusual event that was scheduled for the day and were determined not to miss an incident attending the departure of troops for the Philippines.
 There were many more, not of the same station as these outcasts, but as eager to witness the display, and an hour after the first conner had settled himself for the day the docks in the vicinity of Mission Bay, where three of

 All eyes on shore were trained on the China, and when suddenly f1utter al the fore, the signal for the ships to get under way, was observed it seemed as though Bedlam had broken loose Thousands of people howled like de- mons. while every steam whistle in the town as well as on the bay sent up a piercing salute.
 The Senator at the signal pushed out from the dock and steaming ma jestically along the harbor front cir cled around astern the China, which by that time, was under way, followed by the Zealandia. There was some de lay in getting the Colon under way and signals were run up which the China answered, but finally her mud hook bobbed above water and the last of the troopships headed for the Golden Gate

 AStOr Battery.

The Tennessee troops, consisting of 11S9 men, left Ogden in four trains on Tues day and Wednesday, The first train, under the command of Major Bayless, with 15 officers and 295 men, left at 9:15 D. m Tuesday.

They will probably remain at the Oakland pier over night and be brought to this side on Fri day morning.
 According to the ordinary schedule of thirty-six hours from Ogden to San Fran cisco the last section of the train carrying the Tennessee volunteers should reach Oakland shortly after o'clock this after noon. The ladies of the Red Cross So- cfety are making preparations to receive the regiment Friday morning, but if the trains are not delayed by frequent stops the troops should get here this afternoon.

A PRESIDIO SALUTE.
Thirteen Guns Were Fired From Fort Point as the Fleet
 Passed Out to Sea.

As the Manila transport fleet passed through the Golden Gate it ran into a dense fog, and was soon lost to view. By command of General Merriam, a briga- diers salute of thirteen guns in honor of Brigadier General Greene, commanding the outgoing soldiers, was fired from For, Point while the flagship China was pass ing out. The fog became so thick that it was with difficulty that the three other transports could be seen from either Fort Point or the Presidio.
 The funeral of Private John A. Stevens, of Troop L, Fourth Cavalry, who died Tuesday evening of pneumonia after an illness of only four days, will take place this morning at the Presidio at 10 clock.
 Private Stevens came here about ten days ago with his troop from Walla Walla. He was a good and faithful sol dier, and had been in the service five years.

Before we reached the Colon the trou- ble was over.

Brioadier General Greene'S Farewell Call Upon Ma
 ior General Merritt.

General Greene. commanding the sec ond Manila expedition was an early call CT yesterday morning a military head quarters to close the final arrangements for the departure of his command. After bidding farewell to General Merriam he called on General Merritt, with whom he had nearly an hours conference in regard to the transport fleet and various inn portant matters in connection with the command. At the conclusion of the con sultation General Merritt bade General Greene farewell, wishing him godspeed and a safe voyage, and with a cordial shake of the hand he said that he hoped to meet him soon in Manila.
 General Greene then went to the Palace Hotel, and after sending some farewell telegrams to his family and to his inti- mate friends he took a coupe to the Pa cific Mail Dock and went on board his flagship, the China. Soon after the steamer General Mcdowell, by command of General Merriam, conveyed to the transports all the mail for the soldiers on board as well as for those now in Ma

It was not yet o'clock when a gen. erally dilapidated individual ambled along the docks to the Folsom street bulkhead. Picking out a spot on the stringer he adjusted his back to the side of a whitehall boat on the dock and hauled out of his pocket piece of paper containing two crackers-evi- dently rescued from the gutter-a piece of offensively odorous cheese and pie kle; the last two surreptitiously ob- tained from lunch counter.
 He was not rayenous, at least he did not attack the morsels with the haste one might expect, but instead he nib bled daintily and slowly, being care ful, though, not to waste a crumb. Be- fore his breakfast was concluded the dilapidated individual was joined by another of his species, who seemed

CHEEEDR THE TROOPS.
Scene at Fontana Barracks When the Fleet Was
 PaSSinQ Out.

The Washington Volunteers at Fontana Barracks gave the departing Manila expe- dition an enthusiastic send-off. They hoisted six large flags on the building, gathered on the roof and in the windows, and cheered and waved their hats. The band on the flagship China made ackhowl- edgment by playing two or three lively airs, and the troops on board responded with chorus of cheers. When the Sem ator, which brought the Washingtonans from Seattle to San Francisco, came along, her whistle was blown long and loud, and back from the barracks there was sent a cheer that was easily heard on board the ship.
