THE FIRST BRIGADE.

In round numbers there are $500
officers and men comprising the first
brigade of Uncle Sans army Of occu-
patton for the Philippines. Of this
number the City of Picking carries
over 1, 100, \the Australia about 800 and
the City of Sydney about 600.
The First California Volunteers, I'M
der Col. James F. Smith, are quarter
ed on the Picking. The Regiment
comprises 1927 men. There are also
123 navy officers and marines.
The Oregon volunteers are one
thousand strong. All but 200 of these
are on board the Australia. The
others are on the City of Sydney.
Commander Gibson, who is in
charge of the expedition, is aboard of
the Picking. He stated last evening
that the weather was pleasant all the
way down. The three boats travelled
abreast of each other during a greater
part of the way, although at times
it was necessary for the Picking and
Australia to slow up and wait for their
companion.
Aside from sea sickness very few
men were i'll.
Eight mild cases of measles broke
out on the Australia. The men were
separated from the other passengers
on the ship by being quartered on the
hurricane deck The first of the cases
broke out three days ago. The doctors
in charge state that the cases are al
ready we'll in hand and that there Is
not the slightest danger.
The Picking carries a very heavy
cargo. The precious part OF this load
consists of 400 tons of ammunition for
Admiral Dewey's squadron. This boat
is also carrying 70 men, only eight
of whom have been in the naval SER
vice before, to Manila. They have
been assigned to duty under Dewey.
There are also three draughtsmen and
four nurses.
General Anderson is aboard the Aus
tralia in command of the First BrI-
gade. He stated that General Merritt
had not reached San Francisco when
the expedition sailed. A telegram was
received from Merritt dated at Omaha,
on May 25. The General was speeding
with all possible haste for San Fran
cisco and probably reached his destl-
nation on May p. He will accompany
the second brigade to Manila.

Saturday. 1t is the intention OF the
commander to receive the mali
brought by the Doric before giving the
order to sail. As the DOric will likely
arrive Friday evening, it is very prob
able that the expedition will depart
some time Saturday afternoon.
The boys are in the very best OF
spirits. They are enthusiastic in their
mission and eager to reach the seat
of operations. Nor do they count on
a pleasant time. I'VE are prepared to
fight Spaniards as we'll as mosquitoes

last evening over the railing of the
Picking.
None of the men We're allowed to
leave the boats last evening. They
passed the early hours of the evening
in commenting on the grand reception
accorded them by HOnOlulu's citizens
and arguing the subject whether they
were to be given shore leave on the
morrow. Occasionally the strains of
America or the Star Spangled Ban

the Picking and would be taken up by

THE CUBAN BLOCKADE
SPANISH CONTENTION THAT 1T is IN
EFFECTIVE NOT TRUE.
Secretary Long Says the Madrid Gov

-BatabanO to BE Closely Watched.

WASHINGTON, June 21-The Washing
ton Post will tomorrow print the following:
The Spanish government is endeavoring to
prove to the European powers that the
blockade of Cuba is ineffective. Naval Off
GERS in Washington yesterday discussed
with no small amount of interest the pub
lished statements that supplies were being
struggled into Cuba in large quantities.
Secretary Long, in speaking of these re-
ports to representative of the Post, point
ed out that the Presidents proclamation did
not propose blockade of the entire Cuban
coast, but only Of certain ports, among them
Havana and CienfuegoS. These ports,
said the secretary, ARE effectively block
AIDED. 1 am confident that no ships have
been able to enter Havana, even while the
larger vessels of navy have been at
Santiago, unless, perhaps a few small
schooners may have slipped in at midnight
The blockade of Havana is as tight as wax
l am also sure that the entrance to the
harbor of Cienfuegos is absolutely closed
Probably al other places along, the coast
some small vessels have been able to run in
and out, but, as I have stated there are
small towns against which a blockade has
never been proclaimed. 1 am certain that
Spain has no ground upon which to appeal
" the powers against the effectiveness OF
our blockade
The present headquarters of the Spanish
smugglers seems to be the town of Bata-
bano, directly across the island from Ha-
yara, and north of the Isle of Pines. The
Navy Department., now that the, methods
OF the Spaniards in utilizing this town have
been exposed, will give the place some at
tention, and it is possible that a proclama-
ton will be issued by the President, block
aiding 1T. AS soon as the campaign against
santiago has been concluded so that vessels
can be Withdrawn from that point, several
ships will be stationed off Batabano and
thus break up the Spaniards' little game.
1t IS not believed, however, that the SNUG
cling of supplies to General Blanco has
reached the extent indicated in the dis
patches. The Navy Department officials
are also disposed to accept with consider
able allowance the statement that the en-
trance to Santiago harbor is not blocked by
the Merrimac. No information upon this
point has been received since Admiral
Sampson officially reported the complete
success of Hobsons exploit and until def
mite word is received to the contrary the
department will believe that the Merrimac
absolutely corks up the bottle in which Ger
vera has been trapped. 1t is believed at the
Navy Department that Santiago will fall
within a few days. Plans for cooperation
between our land forces and the Cubaus
were made by Admiral Sampson and Gen
Garcia before the arrival of General Shaft
ers expedition, and the only delay will be
in landing and organizing the troops.

unnecessarily duplicating expenses and per-
haps introducing elements Of rivalry. We
have heard much in recent years of the
principles of comfy, and we are earnestly
striving to promote that comfy in lands
which are already jointly occupied. We be-
lieve that the new situation thus provi-
dentally forced upon us affords an excellent
opportunity not only for beginning this work
but for beginning it right from the view
point of Christian fellowship and the
economical use of men and money. To this
end we recommend that the executive coun-
Gil be directed to hold an early conference
with the representatives of the American
Board, the Baptist Mission Union, the Mis-
sionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal
Church and the Board of Foreign Missions
of the Reformed Church in America, with
view to a frank and mutual understanding
as to the responsibilities of American Chris
tians TO the people of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippine islands and an agreement as
to the most effective distribution of the
work among the several boards If 1t shall
be found expedient and practicable to UNDER
take it,"
The report was submitted to the Board OF
Foreign Missions during its regular monthly
meeting by w. r. Richards, chairman of
the committee on China, and also the execu-
tive council committed. The report was ac-
cepted by the board.

GALES FERRY, Conn, June q. - The
rowing authorities among the many we'll

at "Broadview'' this evening are in high
spirits as to the showing that the sons of
Ell will make in to-morrow's great contest.
Coach Bob Cook this evening departed from
his customary procedure and granted an
interview. which was substantially as fol-
lows: when you ask me as to the prob
able outcome of to-morrow's race you pro-
pound a question which is impossible for
me to answer. The Cornell crew on form
and apparent speed, are most formidable
opponents. and Harvard is rowing beauti-
fully. The question. of Harvard S success
rests largely on her Ability to maintain that
form throughout a long and very trying
contest. AS TO Yale, / may say that the
men are in splendid physical condition.
However, l would have preferred to have
had a little greater interval between the
examinations and race day, rs 1t can hardly
be expected that men who are strung up by
trying mental work are quite as fit for
hard physical work as they would ordinarily
be. To sum it up. Yale is relying upon her
form and ability to maintain that form for
four long miles"

river at 3 p. M. and were sent up the course

however, simply as q sort of a muscle
stretcher for the night before the race. 1t
was apparent that Mr.. Courtney had no
msgivings as to the race his men would put
up tomorrow. He said: The crews are in
fine shape this year. and / am not afraid
of any crew in the world"

course has been looked upon as a propiuous
omen 1t is stated that the difference in the
east course is good for length. other con-

opinion as TO the probable outcome of the
result. His reply was; All l can say is
that the crew has made satisfactory prog
ress since coming here and the men will
