Provisional PROGRAM for Departure
Of Transports.
PENNSYLVANIA SAILS FIRST
Nav Leave Tonight - Rio COaled
Relief-Stores Taken.

The Montana and California troops
were called aboard the transport Penn
sylvania at > o'clock yesterday after
noon and soon after the vessel moved
out into the stream. Unless news by
the Gaelic changes the program she
will sail during the forenoon for Ma
Mia. The Rio de Janeiro, now cOaled,
will pull into the stream at . o'clock
this afternoon and she, with the Pue-
bla. will sail early tomorrow morning.
Depending altogether upon the Gaelic 5
news the Peru, with MajOr-General
Otis. may await the arrival of the Phil
adelphia.
From Honolulu to some point in the
Pacific, known here only to the two
Generals in charge the expedition will
proceed without a convoy. At the
point indicated the transports will be
met by one or more of Admiral Dew
ey's ships and escorted to Manila
| There is rumOr among the men that
the expedition will proceed to Ponape
in the CarOlines and there pick up the
Monterey and Brutus, leaving a garri-
son of regulars. This report, natural
! " enough. lacks official confirmation.
The volunteers on the Pennsylvania
! loaded the vessel with private stocks
of provisions yesterday afternoon.
Among the items was about 5000
| pounds of choice, round steak, which
! will go on ice. There were fruits of
all kinds in abundance, cakes, jam,
! jellies, eggs. cheese and canned goods
| galore. These articles the boys expect
to enjoy on the dTeary last half of the
! voyage.
There were nearly /, 400 men on the
! Pennsylvania, which is the smallest
and slOwest vessel in the fleet. Seven
/ ty-fve were yesterday transferred TO
| the Rio de JaneirO which evens up
matters better and somewhat relieves
/ congestion on the Pennsylvania.
The South Dakota troops were en-
| tertained in the usual way on the
| grounds of the Executive building at
! noon yesterday. All of the officers
were taken to the Club and dined by
! the officers of the n. G. II. The Ha-
waiian band played on the grounds
| during the feast. After the feast Pre-
! sident Dole received the men on the
! grounds. With him were Mrs. Dole,
| and several other ladies. The men
! formed a long line and marched by in
/ single file
An official sanitary inspection of the
! City Of Puebla the measles transport
was made yesterday forenoon. She was
found to be in rather uninviting and
unhealthy condition all over, chiefly
on account of OvercrOwding. A thor
Ough cleaning was ordered and last
night the men slept ashore near the
| business houses of NJ. w McChesney

WAS AS PRESIDENT
MR.. DOLE SUBSCRIBED.
This Will Silence Gossip That Has
Been Started.

An item that appeared in the hnanclal
account of the President upon returning
from his special mission to the United
States early this year was $500 cOnTibu-
ton to the Maine fund" The statement
in full was presented to the Senate The
whole of the money for the trip came out
of a special appropriation made by the
Council of State. y considerable sum OF
the total was returned to the treasury as
a Government realization. 1t is not be
lieved that anything of that sort has ever
occurred in any country. In matters OF
this kind usually there IS a denclt re-
curing special claim and addltohaI
lately gossip. initiated from direction
or in a quarter that need not be speculaI-
ed upon nor designated, has had to 90
with the $500 item of contribution TO the
Maine fund" 1t has been sought to place ace
the President in a false light. All the
facts, the whole situation, is clear ana ap-
Darent and correct enough to those VINO
wish to understand it rightly. Mr.. Dole
forward explanation should end the dis
cussiOn or consideration.
The contribution of $500 was sent by
means of draft to Minister Hatch al
Washington from San Francisco the very
day the President and party left the
United States for the Islands. MAJ. I. +
Taukea. the Presidents aide, made the
suggestion that this be done. There was
no thought whatever of Mr.. Dole making
pacity, he being at that time the especial
representative in the United States OF
this Government and as such the guess
of the nation over there. That the DO
nation was offered from the funds placed
at the disposal of Mr.. Dole for the IIll
expenses, contingent and otherwise, was
we'll understood and so communicated &c
Minister Hatch. The Government mere
had been liberal in providing for the mis-
sion of Mr.. Dole and it was accepted as
a natural thought that such DISPOSE
ton of a portion of the fund in this mat
ter would be considered graceful, merit
OriOus and in good taste That is all there
is to it. That the contribution had been
accepted was not learned till some time
after Mr.. Dole and party had returned
to the Islands. 1t then appeared thai
/ President Dole had given the money as
President and the statement of eXpendi
/ lures for the mission was entirely FRANK
/ and clear upon the point.
President Dole, when addressed upor
/ the matter promptly gave the version
/ here Tecited and was surprised to Learn
/ that any construction other than he hac
[ placed upon the transaction could DC
/ made. Mai. Iaukea and Mr.. Hatch are
4 of the same mind.

LET WISDOM NAME THE PRICE

There is a point in bicycle value to
go below which means a cheapening IN
quality. Modern methods and large
output brings low price and high quail
ity together in STERLING BICYCLES.
At present prices there is more valve
for the money in SterIings than any
other bicycle in the world. Pacific Cy-

VALUABLE PAPERS FOUND.

Mr.. B. B. Putnam, in looking over
some chests containing old papers OF
his great grandfather, Gen. Rufus
Putnam, came across among other
papers of much value the original
map of the city of Marietta. The map
was made by General Putnam and
bears the date of 1902 1t is in mar
velous state Of preservation and is of
much value as well as an article of
curiosity. He also found a Masouic
Lodge demit dated 1894. 1t has fast
ened to it a small tin box which con-
tains the wax seal. 1t is also in good
condition. 1t is very handsome
thing and is we'll worth seeing.
