Those Chosen.
San Francisco, May 22.-The Charleston
is well on her way to Manila. The big
cruiser passed through the Golden Gate
at $50 this morning after having been
anchored in the stream all night. She ad-
justed her compasses at an early hour
and then passed up the bay through the
Raccoon straits and past the docks on the
northern frontage of the city. Every
steam vessel in the harhor bios an revoir
to Captain Glass and his crew. None of
the forts in the harbor saluted the YES
sci but the demonstration made by the
5000 soldiers gathered a the Preside was
tremendous. When the vessel was sight
ed coming down the bay the soldiers gath
cred on the beach to bid her bon voyage.
They lined the beach for mile and cheer
upon cheer rang out from the men who
are to soon follow the Charleston to
the scene of Admiral Dewey triumph
The Charlestons big siren answered the
boys on the beach time and time again
and the whiStlng was heard from one
end of the city to the other. Never id
a war vessel leaving this harbor receive
such send-off as was given the Charles
ton, which was the first of the American
fleet to be built on the Pacific coast. She
was launched from the Union Iron Works
in this city 10 years ago and was one
of the nest eggs" Of the present Ameri-
can navy.
