MEXICAN DOLLARS.
They Will BE Taken Along to Pay Troops
in the Philippines.

New York. May 27.-The Press says:
One of the most interesting prepara-
tions of the Quitting of the Manila
expedition has just been announced.
The government has just purchased
$50. 900 Mexican silver dollars. which
General Merritt will take along to de-
fray the expenses of the expedition.
This amount is not expected to be
enough, but more will be sent from
time to time. By purchasing Mexican
dollars a great saving is made. 1t is
possible TO obtain Mexican dollars at
46 cents each. In other words, Uncle
Sam will be able to buy $50. 900 Mexican
dollars for SIG, 900. They were bought
i'm San Francisco. In the Philippines
a Mexican dollar is worth more than
an American dollar, so the expenses

If il once lands in Manila, will be less
than one-half il would. be otherwise.
AS to the soldiers. they will fare ex-
cellently under this arrangement, for
hey will, of course, be paid, according
to law, in American money. The pay
master will give each soldier two Mex
ica dollars for every American dol
lar due him on payday.

San Francisco. May 27.-General Mer-
rift. who will command III American
forces in the Philippines, and who ar
rived from Washington last night. has
established his headquarters in this city
at the Palace hotel. He held a long con-
ference with Major General Otis this
morning. but will not divulge any of his
plans for the future.
General Otis tomorrow will take up
his residence at Fort Richmond and will
have the volunteers now encamped there
under his eye at all times. He will en-
force strict discipline in the camps from
now on.
To-day Captain c. L.. Hooper received
instructions from Washington ordering
transport, to assume command of the
cutter Hugh McCulloch, to succeed Cap
tain Hodgson, who is ordered home.
Arrangements have been made by
General Otis for the establishment of a
military hospital near the site of Fort
Richmond. Tents will be erected for the
sick soldiers and nurses will be always
In attendance. There are many cases of
measles M bronchial affections among

adequate to the demands.
1t is not expected here that the trans
port fleet of five vessels, which will
make up the second expedition to go to
Manila with achievements Cor Admiral
Dewey, will get away for at least 10
days.
The China arrived here to-day from
the Orient and will not be turned over
TO the government until Monday next.
The Colon is here and a force of men
will be put to work on her at once to
prepare her for the voyage. The Zea-
landia Is being fitted up at her dock,
but the Centennial and the Ohio will not
arrive from Puget SOUND for some days
yet.

and she will doubtless convey General
Merritt and his staff to the Philippines.
One good effect of General Merritt's adj
vent has already been felt. He has or
dered the troops not already supplied
with proper equipment to be furnished
at once with everything necessary to
make them comfortable and ready for
active service.
