coming from San Francisco to the effect
that the real object of the Charleston
voyage was the seizure of the Spanish
Ladrone islands. has small basis of
truth in it. When it was decided to
send the Monterey and Monadnock
clear across the Pacific from Mare is
land to Manila it was well known that
this could not be done without sending
along coalers, because of the insult
ficient coal supply of the monitors. 1t
was not deemed practicable to tow the
big ironclads the 1000 miles of the
voyage that would have to be ira
versed by them without COAL so it be-
came necessary to find places in the
Pacific where they could replenish their
bunkers. A study of the charts showed
that there were several groups of is
lands lying between Hawaii and the
Philippines which might afford a har-
Dor in which the Golfers could lay
alongside the monitors and fill up their
coal bunkers.
The officials do not deem it prudent
to name the particular island chosen
for the purpose, but it is obvious that,
being barred by neutrality laws from
the possessions of neutral countries, the
first course of the navy department
would be to some Spanish islands, such
as the Ladrones or the Carolines.
Therefore, it is assumed that ii the
Charleston really goes to one of the
former islands, it will be with the pur-
pose of securing in advance a suitable
harbor for the use of the monitors.

MoNTEREY's QUEER COURSE.
Monitor Shows UP at San Diego and
Takes Coal.

San Diego, Cal, June 1O.-The United
States monitor Monterey and her coal
consort, the Brutus, supposed to be
speeding on their way towards Homo
lulu and Manila, were sighted at noon
today, steaming south towards San
Diego at a. good rate of speed the
Monterey leading. They arrived off
the harbor mouth at 3 p. m. and separ-
ated. the Brutus going about five miles
south AID anchoring near Coronado
island, while the Monterey came in
rapidly and dropped her anchor at 4
p. m. off the coal bunkers, a great
crowd being on the wharf to receive
them. A cutter, in which were Pay
master Rogers and an ensign. came
ashore ct once as soon as the boat
could be launched, and Paymaster
Rogers stated briefly to the Associated
Press representative that they had
simply come in here for coal and water
and would sail tomorrow afternoon for
Honolulu. Being asked if there was
anything the matter with the engines,
machinery or crew, he said nothing
whatever, all is well on board. 1t was
suggested that the course taken was a
little out Of the usual one and he said
it would make very little difference in
time of arrival at Honolulu. Coal was
ordered put on board in hurry and is
now being taken on. The officer ac-
companying the Daymaster stated that
they met heavy weather the secoSd
day out and lost overheard SO tons of
the coal which was secured in netting
on the Monterey's deck.

had a bad effect on some of the men.
The camp is under the strictest disci-
pline and only 5 per cent of the men
are allowed to leave each evening.
This has led to extensive efforts to run
the lines. The officers, however. were
equal to the occasion, and doubled the
guard, making the total number 30
men. This resulted in the capture of
every offender, and an extra guard
then had to be established to hold
them. AS the offense comes under the
jurisdiction of a court martial one has
been ordered to try them. Lieutenant
Gibbs is president and the other men,
bers have been chosen from those most
versed in law in the battery. Tomor-
row nearly a score of offenders will
be tried.
The record for good health is still
unbroken. Surgeon Penrose stated to-
night that not a single man was on the
sick list.
General Greene, commander of the
expedition, spends considerable time
each day visiting the troops of his
command. He is accompanied by an
orderly from the cavalry. He inspected
the artillery in heavy marching order
yesterday morning. What his opinion
is cannot be learned, as he is not al
lowed to make comment.

SAILING DATE UNCERTAIN.
Not Likely That Camp Merritt Will
Be Removed.

San Francisco, June 10.-The rumor
that Camp Merritt is to be removed
to the Preside seems to have little
foundation in fact. General Merritt s
aides say they have heard nothing of
such a change. and that it is not in
the line of probability. The water sup
ply at the Preside is inadequate for
such large number of troops, and it
! is said that should it be decided to
again transfer the camp, that Benicia,
near the Mare Island navy yard, and
not the Preside, would be the spot
selected.

the water line with provisions and
other supplies for Manila. Work on

EXPULSION OF SPANIARDS.
Authority Is Vested In the Canadian
Parliament.

Ottawa, Ont, June 10-Statements
sent out from Ottawa that the govern
ment has decided to deport Senior Du
Bose and Lieutenant Carranza, the al
legged Spanish spies, lack confirmation.
1t is thought in official circles. after a
careful examination of the laws. that
the crown has not the right to eXpel
them. The power is reserved to pariia-
ment, which brings it into place by a
special act. In Great Britain since 1S4S
it has been held that in the absence
of parliamentary authority the power
of expulsion does not exist. If the two
Spaniards have employed persons in
Canada to act as spies in the United
States, they have violated the foreign
enlistment law and are liable to prose-
cution under it.
The government may intimate to
them that if they remain they will be
prosecuted, and that if they choose
to leave forthwith no proceedings will
be taken.
But the accused may elect, if they
choose, to remain to answer to any
charge brought against them in the
courts.
