the vessels Travelled abreast most of the
way, although it was necessary for the
.Pel1in and Australia to slow up and
wait for the City of Sydney.
Eight mild cases of measles broke out
on the Australia. The sick men were
separated from the other passengers on
the ship by being quartered on the hur-
ricane deck and the surgeons had the
cases well in hand when the vessel ar
rived.
AS soon as the three vessels were
sighted all Honolulu turned out to well
come the soldiers. The docks were lined
with people and as the vessels entered
the harbOr, the spectators yelled them
selves hoarSe. Such a scene of enthuS-
iasm had never been witnessed in Hon
olulu as when the vessels docked. 1t
was late so the order was given to al
low no one ashore, but the next morn
ing about one-haf of the troops were
allowed to land.
During the day they were given the
freedom of the city. A committee of
citizens furnished free cars and other
conveyances. The majority visited
Waikiki, and other points of interest
and had a pleasant time generally. At
noon President Dole and his cabinet re-
ceived the officers of the expedition.
During the reception the stairs and
grounds of the executive building were
thronged With people.
The Second Snttalion of the California
regiment arrived a few moments before
the reception began.
During Friday, June 8, the soldiers
were entertained on the grounds of the
executive building. President Dole
welcomed them. The visiting troops
were introduced to the president by
members of the National guard and Cit
izens generally. The utmost freedom
prevailed, the affair being informal.

word of welcome to Honolulu. A lunch

KANSAS LEFT OUT.
Selection of Troops for Third Manila
Expedition.

San Francisco, CaLs- Jun 1S.-Major
General Merritt has announced his Sc
lection of the troops which will COM
prise the third expedition to Manila.
General Merritt has selected regf-
ments and battalions aggregating $3.50
officers and men, and the five trans
ports which will be prepared for the
expedition can easily accommodate
4,250 men. so that a few hundred more
soldiers may be sandwiched in at the
last moment if desired.
Regarding the date of sailing, Gen
eral N erritt says that the expedition
will sail, if possible, on June 25, but
it may possibly be delayed until July /.
1t is doubtful if General Merritt will
accompany the troops who will be
commanded by Brigadier General Chas.
King.
The brigade of this next expedition
will comprise the two Idaho battalions.
who will sail on the Morgan City, the
Seventh California on the Indiana, the
Thirteenth Minnesota on the City of
Para, one battalion of the Wyoming
regiment on the Ohio, two battalions of
the North Dakota regiment on the Va
lencia. In addition. the Valencia viii

commodated from the various new

ALARM In GERMANY
Over the Largely Increased So
cialist Vote.

Berlin, June 1S.-Three hundred and thir-
ty-nine election results show that 165 sec
Ond ballots will be necessary
The returns thus far assure the election
of thirty-four Conservatives, six Imperial
lists, seventy-one Centrists, four Reform
lists, six National Liberals, two candi-
dates of the Radical Union. thirty-two So
cialist Democrats, eleven Poles, one Dane
and seven Independents.
1t is impossible yet to predict the
composition of the new reichstag. The
crisis of the elections will occur over the
second ballots.
The Socialists will, after all, not only
largely increase their poll which it is es-
timated will reach 100000 votes, as
against 1,7S6, 900 in 1898, but will also in
crease their representation by ten or
twelve seats. In 1892 they were involved
in only fifty-two second ballots. Now
probably they will be involved in no fewer
than 100.
The increase in the Socialist vote is
most marked at Wurtemburg. Already
it is causing alarm among the Hamburg
ers, who are especially furious that the
first commercial city of the empire should
be represented in the reichstag by three
Socialists. who, their opponents say, have
no understanding of the citys vital inter-
ests.

There is nothing for it but to raise the

Ornament, the Winner of the
Brooklyn Handicap,
Is the FavOrite For the Great
COney Island Event.
BEN HOLIDAY SECOND
Though There is Little Enthu-
SiaSm For Him
Owing to a Settled Conviction
That Ornament Will Win.

New York June 1S.-This is Suburban
day and the Coney Island Jockey club
at Sheepshead bay could not have been
favored with better weather for the
opening of their track
AS usual on Suburban day, the horses
engaged had little to do this morning
and their final preparation for the big
race consisted of a light gallop around
the course, with a pipe opener through
the stretch. Before o'clock they were
safely bestowed in their boxes to wait
seven hours before calling to the pad
dock to be saddled.
There was the usual gathering of
trainers and race track hangers-on
about the stand after the exercise was
over and while nearly every horse in
the race had at least one partisan, there
could be no question as to the favorite.
The winner of the Brooklyn handicap
Ornament, was the first choice of al
most everybody. He won handily
then against about the same horses,
and while he could hardly take a pen
atty of 131 pounds of that win, few
were inclined to say they thought that
would stop him.
Ben Holiday was selected by many
as the horse most likely to get the sec
ond place, although Imp. ogden, Don
dor, Semper Ego and Royal Stag had
a lot of followers. In fact outside of
Ornament it was a difficult matter to
find a general faVorite for second place.
Peep % Day was by no means neglect
ed in the selection and one would
ment did not win, so open is the race,
after him, it was declared.

ANOTHER CALL.
Third Call For Volunteers Is
Contemplated.

Washington, June 1S.-Secretary AL
ger, accompanied by Major General
Miles went over to the white house to-
day to see the president. The secretary
was indignant at the published reports
that the president and himself were dis
satisfied with the course adopted by
General Miles and had decided to re
lieve him of the command of the army.
The secretary said in the presence of
General Miles, to a representative of
the Associated Press, there is not a
word of truth in it, meaning the state
ment to which his attention had been
attracted. AS a matter of fact the
purpose of the administration in re-
calling General Miles to Washington
at this time is to consult with him as
to the future conduct of the campaign.
1t is plain that the campaign itself has
grown far away from the original lines
on which it was drawn and recent de-
velopments have led to a belief on the
part of the president that the plans
might be amended somewhat with ben
eft.
The war department is profiting by
the experience gained in the Organiza-
tion and dispatch of Gen. Skaters ex-
pedition by the concentration of troops
in the great camps; by the development
of weak places in the staff systems, and
it is desired that future operations be
conducted with a view to avoiding fr1c-
ton, improving the methods of equip
ciliatting the organization of an effec-
tive army.
1t has been suggested that owing to
the heavy demands for troops which
have far exceeded the number original
ly believed to be sufficient, there will
be occasion to issue another call for
volunteers. Having in mind the length
of time required to develop raw mater
ial into seasoned soldiers as revealed
by the experiences at Chickamauga,
Tampa and Camp Alger, there is no
doubt the president will be fOrehanded
in this matter and that upon the exist
ence of a reasonable doubt as to the
Sufficiency of the present military force
he will take steps to increase it.
But before any effort is made to raise
more troops, the war department will
see to it that the amplest facilities are
provided and that the equipment will
be ready for the men. The material
secured under another call would not
include national guardsmen and the
men would not only be absolutely green
but would be wholly without military
equipment of any kind. The prepara-
tions being made by the war depart
ment to meet any possible demands in
the future as revealed by the thorough
board headed by Major Hopkins ap-
pointed to look after suitable camping
sites, undou btedly has given rise to the
reports that additional military camps
are to be established. The department
has put things in trim to establish at
short notice several additional camps,
but so far it has not ordered any troops
to them and is not likely to unless there
should be further call for volunteers.

Germans Hate Us.

ithaca, N. Y, June 1S.-Prof L. H.
Bailey of Cornell university who is in
Munich, Germany, at the present time,
has written to President Schurman the
following concerning the sentiment of
the German people toward America and
the war:
War news is scarce, but opinions OF
America are plenty. Two or three
nights ago 1 listened to discussion of
the United States in which it would
have been difficult to have found lang
uage to convey more invectiVe hatred
and miSinformatiOn AS a nation we
seem to be regarded as heterogeneous,
uncultured, mercenary and in danger of
collapse. 1 find many such opinions in
people who are well read, but 1 believe
that animosity is confined mostly to the
uniformed classes. Much of the feel
ing is the result of the natural distrust
of republican institutions and l think
that much of it is also due to the conf
mercial rivalry of Americans and to a
2pprehenSive feeling of Americas grow
ing power. 1t looks to me as if the in
terestS of Germany are with US rather
than against US, and 1 do not believe
that there will be any rupture in the
relations between the two countries. In
this war they do not understand US
and the circumstances, but, we have
common interests in the march of civ
ilization and we will find ourselves to-
gether in the end

NO TRUTH IN IT.
We Have Heard From Gomez on This
Subject

Madrid, June 1S.-A Havana dis

General credence attaches to the re-
port that serious dissensions have
broken out among the rebel leaders,
some of them insisting upon remaining
neutral and others preparing to fight
the Americans from fear of annexa-
ton and American tyranny
Another dispatch from Havana says
the Guerra Marina publishes number
of documents, including a Detter from
Maximo Gomez to the Cuban juEta in

Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn was

out concerning it, Secretary Alger re-
marking that where the movement OF
troops was concerned, he could say
nothing. The council was of more than
ordinary importance.
