to be Sent to the Aid Of Rear
Admiral Dewey.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.-OTderS
have been issued to have the City of
Para ready TO sail with the third Ma
nila expedition on June 10Th. 1t is not
expected, however. that the transports
will sail much before July 1st. So far
as decided upon, they Will consist of
the Ohio Indiana, Morgan City, City
of Para and Valencia. The last named,
which was secured to-day, can carry
GOO men, is nearly new, and has supe-
rior accommodations for officers. She
will probably be made the flagship of
Brigadier General King, who will COM
mand the expedition, or of General
Merritt himself, should he decide to go
with these vessels.
The steamers Progreso and Villa
mette have been examined, and may be
taken. If they are not secured the
force of men under General King may
not exceed 5000 men, owing to the linn
tied capacity of the steamers engaged.
Seven transports have already sailed,
and only 5000 men are yet on their way
to Manila. 1t will require nearly twenty
more troopships to convey the 1900
soldiers necessary to make up the 90
QUO which is given out as the number
which will occupy the Philippines.
If the deal with the British Northern
Pacific Company can be successfully
made, the way will be opened for the
engaging of more foreign vessels, and
the Government may yet get such
steamers AS the Coptic, Gaelic and
Doric The Belgic can hardly come in
the list, for she sails tomorrow for the

arrival of German men-of-war at Ma
Mia is regarded as perfectly natural,
for the German interests there demand
protection.
The correspondent here of the Asso-
ciated Press is informed that there is
no change and that no change is con-
templated in Germany's attitude of
neutrality. At the outbreak of the
war Emperor William said he intended
to adopt a strictly impartial course,
adding that he would certainly not do
anything to disturb the relations of
commerce and blood between Germany
and the United States, where so many
Germans have found hospitable homes.
This attitude his majesty still adheres
to, and he has emphasized it within
the past few days by saying that moth
ing VIII be done by Germany at Ma
Mia beyond protecting German sub
jects.
The attitude of the German Govern
ment. as 1t was pointed out, must in
no wise be judged by the hostility of
the majority of the German press and
people toward the United States.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-Herr Won
Hollenben, the German ambassador,
called upon the Secretary of State to-
day and assured him that there was
no truth in the persistent rumors from
London to the effect that Germany in
tended to interfere with the American
Government in the Philippines. The
German ambassador stated further
that his Government was fully deter
mined to maintain an attitude of the
strictest neutrality toward both bellig-
erents during the war
