The Vessel Expected to Sail for Manila
Today.

Today.
SAN Francisco, July 19.-Camp Mer-
rift is gradually growing smaller. Yes
terday 800 men, representing the First
Montana regiment and 800 recruits for
the First California volunteers, broke
camp and marched to the transport
steamer Pennsylvania, which will con-
vey them to Manila via Honolulu.
The farewell given the soldiers was
like all Of its predecessors. Thousands
of people lined the streets and cheered
the passing soldiers and showered them
with flowers and passed them fruits
with which to moisten their parched
lips, for the sun was very hot.

TO HUNT sPANIARDs.
Skaters March May Not End Until He
Reaches Misunderstanding
TO lie Guarded.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-It has been
finally decided that none of the troops
that participated in the actual hghuing
before Santiago shall be employed on
the Porto Rico expedition. There are
two reasons for this-frst, the men have
suffered severely from hardship, the CHI
mate and from feyers and are entitled
to rest; second, it is deemed to be very
bad practice to allow the soldiers who
have been exposed to yellow fever to be
brought III contact with those fresh
from the United States. There is also
still another reason, a purely military
one: Ten thousand Spanish soldiers are
at Holguin, Manzanillo, and other points
within striking distance Of Santiago
and might not lose an opportunity TO
recover the ground lost at Santiago If
the place was left insuffieiently pro-
tected. Therefore Skaters entire army
Is to be kept on guard on the high hills
IN the rear Of the town until the men
have stamped out the yellow fever
Then they will take turn at ta Span
iards if tho can be found and it may
be that Shit ter's march will end at Ha-
vana. He viii work as far from his
base as possible after his army is thor
oughly refreshed, hunting the enemy
wherever they are liable to Re found.
1t will be difficult, however, for the
Spanish forces to get from Holguin or
Manzanillo, as the roads are impossible
for an army large enough to make an
attempt to retake Santiago and in any
event, it is said, control of Santiago
harbor by the American forces gives the
Americans the key to the situation, as
the guns Of the warships in the inner
harbor can command all the approaches
to the town. 1t was this which made
the approach of the American land
forces 50 difficult while Cervera's feet
was IN the harbor, and which left San
tiago helpless and ready to surrender as
soon as Ceryera's fleet departed. 1t is
probable that several OF our ships will
be stationed within the harbor, suffi-
GENTLY off the city to avoid contagion
and yet near enough to give complete
defense i'll case an effort is made by the
Spaniards to repossess the city.

ITAPFECTs TOWN CHARTERS.
Mr.. BarksdaIe Argues His Bill Before the
senate Finance Committee

Senator Barksdale appeared before the
Senate Finance Committee yesterday and
advocated his bill In relation 10 town
charters. The bill strikes out OF every
town charter any exemption from county
or district takes for road or pauper pur-
poses.
The basis OF his argument was that
such provisions placed heavy burdens
upon rural communities and virtually re-
quired them TO build highways between
towns without receiving any aid or assist
ance from such towns. He further stated
that such provisions were entirely new
and not contained IN former CHARTERS but
that the movement for such exemptions
was started by boom towns, the idea be
ing to encourage their growth and pros
perity. and every other town fastened to
avail itself OF the precedent estab-
lished by such legislation In behalf OF
boom towns.
He thought the whole idea OF exempung
towns which did not nave the burdens of
a city government was pernicious and
wrong and imposed grievious burdens
upon farming communities which are
least able TO bear them.

same could be said OF commission mer-
chants or Of any other classes OF bust
ness from which the State derived
benefit. IL this was done to merchants in
this State they would never submit to 1t.
1T Is \ NEW BUSINESS.
The telephone business. for which he
appeared. was a new business. 1t had
been stated that the passenger rates and
earnings on western roads had fallen OF
so much through the extensive use II
the long-distance telephones.
Mr.. Saunders thought II the stock OF
the railroad companies had gone down
in that manner the stock OF the tele-
phone companies had gone up.
Mr.. Moon said the franchise OF "a tele-
phone company in this State was worth
nothing. because anybody could put up
telegraph and telephone lines on the pub
liz highways and no monopoly in that
line could be created.
Mr.. Saunders thought n license tax
could not be imposed properly unless
something was known OF the value Of the
property Already this company. on ac-
count OF its intangible value, was taxed
higher than any other enterprlsc-ncarly
20 per cent OF their gross receipts. The
fair way to do would be 10 take the pro-
perty Of the company here I'm Virginia
and assess II. hut the company should not
be treated as If they were outlaws. Lii
cense tax in this State. Of course. had 70
be paid by nOn-residents as well as by
residents. The assessment was unfair,
because IL started out with n comparison
which was obliged to be misleading. His
company was met az the very threshold
with burden such as was imposed upon
no other class of companies.
Major Stiles was not prepared 10 dis,
cuss the question, not having been able
to confer. and he would. therefore. be
very glad 10 have the matter go over so
that he could at the next session make
much clearer and shorter statement.
Mr. Thorn stated that a conference has
been arranged through Mr. Clarence
Young between Mr.. Saunders and the
gentlemen whom he represented which.
when had might obviate any lengthy
argument on his part and he. therefore.
would be glad TO postpone his argument.
He desired TO know what system would
be carried out to arrive at the value OF
the property; he thought any rule adopt
ed by the board would be an arbitrary
rule.
The committee then adjourned until
