THIRD FLEETo TRANSPORTS.
Went Out Through the Golden Gate Into
the Broad Pacific, Bound for
the Philippines.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2s.-Another
fleet of transports has sailed out
through the Golden Gate to the broad
Pacific. The third feet of vessels,
loaded with soldiers and provisions for
the Philippines, hoisted anchors and,
amid the screaming of hundreds of
whistles and the changing of bells and
the booming ofcannon, proceeded down
the bay toward the ocean, and by
night were well on their way tc the
Philippines.
The orders to get under way were
issued shortly after noon, but it was
nearly 2:3O o'clock before the anchors
of the ships were hoisted and the pro-
pellers set in motion.
The first movement of the vessels com
prising the feet was the signal for the
crowds which had gathered along the
docks to commence cheering the de-
parting soldiers, and the steam
whistles along the city front to scream
their good-bys to the ships and men
who are going to Manila to protect the
interests of their country, and to
spread the doctrine of freedom on the
other side of the world.
Tugboats, yachts, small bay craft of
all kinds lowered around the big steam
ers and some even went close enough
to permit their passengers throwing
oranges and other things to the soldiers
gathered on the decks of the trans
ports. The scene on the transports
was a thrilling one; the men were
perched in the rigging like so many in
sects and handkerchiefs and flags
waved and futtered from every port
hole and spar. AS the vessels pro-
ceeded slowly down the bay the noisy
demonstrations of people on the shore
became more pronounced and increased
until the din was awful and, added to
the noise of whistles and bells, was the
booming of many cannon from the bat
teries at Fort Mason, but the farewell
given the soldiers was no less hearty
than the welcome given them when
they first landed within San Francis
co.'s limits.
The ships which left yesterday car
ried about 1000 men, under command
of Gen. Arthur Macarthur, who has
made the steamer Indiana his flagship.
The City of Para, the Ohio and the
Morgan City were the other ships to
sail with the Indiana The steamer
Valencia was not ready for sea, and
will probably sail with the steamer
Newport on Wednesday.
Gen. Merritt and his staff will pro-
coed to the islands on the Newport,
which has been especially purchased
for the service.
Army officers in this city are much
perturbed regarding the movements of
the Spanish squadron, which is re-
ported to be bound for the Philippines,
via the Suez canal. 1t is said that the
troops which left here yesterday will
be rushed through to the islands at
full speed, in order to have as large
force as possible ready to receive the
dons, should Manila be the ultimate
destination of the Cadiz feet, now re-
ported at sea.
