 Philippine Islands.

San Francisco, Aug. 12. There are about 9300 Philippine expeditionary troops at San Francisco. The Arizona and Scandia will take away s300, leav- ing 6000 to be forwarded. This includes the Eighth California, which was turned over to Major General Otis as a part of the expeditionary forces.
 The First Washington has not been attached to the Eighth army corps and will, therefore not go to Manila unless later orders are issued assigning it to duty in the Philippines.
 It is expected the Australia and the Syndey will reach this city from Ma nila about Aug i5. They will bs imme- diately fitted cut for return trip to tbs Philippines with troops, and will be fol- lowed by the City of Peking, which s due here about Aug. "A. These vessels will probably carry the Fifty First Iowa, the Twentieth Kansas and the First Tennessee.
