ON THEIR WAY TO MANILA
The Third Fleet of Transports
Has Sailed.
SOLDIERS AND SUPPLIES
III Fleet Left Amid the Screaming OF
Whistles. the Changing OF Bells
and the Booming of
Cannon.

San Francisco, June 27.-Another
feet OF transports has sailed through
the Golden Gate TO the broad Pacific.
This afternoon the third fleet OF YES
sells. loaded with soldiers and supplies
for the Philippines, hoisted an
Choir and amid the screaming of a hun
dred whistles and the changing of bells
and the booming OF cannon proceeded
down the bay toward the ocean. and by
the Philippines.
The orders TO get under way were is
sued shortly after noon, but IL was
nearly 2:30 o'clock before the anchors
of the transports were hoisted n the
propellors set In motion. The first
movement of the vessels comprising
the fleet was the signal for the crowds
which had gathered along the docks to
commence cheering the departing SOL
diers, and for the steam whistles along
the city front TO scream their good
byes to the ships and men who are go
ing to Manila to protect The interests
OF their country and to spread the doc
trine Of freedom on the other side OF
the world. Tugboats. yachts and small
bay craft of all kinds lowered around
the big steamers. and some even wen.

gers to throw oranges and other things
TO the soldiers gathered on the decks
of the transports.
The scene on the transports was a
thrilling one: the men were perched
in the rigging like so many insects
and handkerchiefs and flags waved and
iuttered from every portfolio and
spar. As the vessels proceeded slowly
down the bay the noisy demonstration
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 batteries NJ
Fort Mason, blu the farewell given the
soldiers was not less hearty han the
welcome given them when they first
landed within San Francisco's limits.

THE FOURTH EXPEDITION.
No Orders Issued and the Men Arc Keep
Waiting.

San Francisco, Tune 27.-Now that the
third expedition is under way attention
is being directed to the fourth, and
much interest is manifested as to
whether il will consisLsof all the troops
now h.~e or a div~Ion. The general
opinion among the officers is that an
EFFORT will be made to rush part of the
troops off, as It is the desire TO avoid
any conflict with Camara's fleet. A
prominent officer said to-day that the
matter Of conveying would be an I'M
portant factor in the dispatching OF fu-
ture fleets. as IL might not be entirely
safe To send troops without a warshlp
as escort.
No orders have been issued regard
ing the fourth expedition. and the var
ious organizations are kept guessing as
TO Just whe they leave camp. There
seems 10 be no material difference as ia
the number of soldiers In Camp Mer-
rift, although three expeditions have
departed. There have been so many
new arrivals that there seems to be AS
many soldiers as ever.

BALLOON EXPERIMENTS.
One of tho Mon Was Nearly Killed by

the Gas.
Tampa, June 27.-The first expert
ments with the observation balloon
have been made by Major Reber, Prof.
c. E. Fellow, Tracy A. Tisdell and five
~privates of the signal corps at the gas
works on the outskirts OF the city. Mr..
TisdeIl is a professional aeronaut n
expert %balloonist. who was sent here
by the government to instruct the corps
in the proper handling of the new bal
LOOM. which is q silk creation from
Paris with all the latest improvements.
The large silk envelope was laid upon
the ground and the cordage net dexter
| ously slipped over it. AS the vessel
filled with gas the experts watched
guy and weight. ~instructing the corps
thoroughly. When the imitation was
completed Ii was found that the spe-
cifc gravity of the gas was too great
TO lift more than the balloon n the
car. No ascent was made. The l,Ooo
feet of cable which is used to regulate
the altitude remained unreeled, but the
lift was sufficient for the great work 10
be practically illustrated. The modes
of handling, loading and unloading the
balloon were demonstrated.
When the gas was released to re-
pack the balloon Charles G. Bell OF
Denver was asphyxiated, and for near
Nv two hours was unconscious. 1t re-
auired much effort TO restore him, pu'
he is out of danger now.
The balloon has a capacity OF zl'oo'

They are also equipped with facilities
for manufacturing their own gas, ou
can only produce 1000 cubic feet al

Iy a full day to in1ate the balloon whei
in the field. Additional experiment
will be made when the gas compan
furnishes a lighter gas. At that tim
ascensions will be made and observa
tons taken. The corps in charge OF tn
