THE FOURTH
 EXPEDITION.
Brigadier-General M. P. Miller Commander-VeSSeIS
 to Go,

The exact date of the departure of the next expedition to Manila is still the un- solved problem that is proving of great interest to the officers and men at Camp Merritt.
 Next to this, the most interesting uues- ton is what troops will compose the fourth expedition to the Philippines. While no official orders have yet been issued, it is positively known that the War Depart ment proposes to move all of the troops now at Camp Merritt on the next two ex- petitions. No effort will be spared to se- cure the necessary transports to do this It is certain that the next fleet of vessels to leave will carry half of the force now remaining here, and what is left will go upon the fifth expedition.
 Major General Otis will accompany the next expedition, and Brigadier General Marcus r. Miller will have command This much has been positively determined upon, and has been an open secret for several days. No orders have as yet been issued in regard to the matter, and none of the officers will discuss the ques- tion, but that this is the plan that Major General Otis intends to put into execu- ton was confirmed yesterday by a prom inent officer, who is in a position to know what he is talking about. The fact that General Miller has been selected to com mand the next expedition would indicate that it will be composed largely of regu- lar troops.

FAREwELLTO COMPANY C.
Alameda Does Honor to Her Brave Soldiers-Inpressive
 Ceremonies.

ALAMEDA, June 29-Not in many years has Alameda been so stirred or wit messed such an enthusiastic meeting as was held this morning in order to bid farewell to Company G prior to its march ing to Camp Barrett and joining it's com- rades there in preparation for war.
 The meeting was arranged on the short est notice, but that notice was sufficient to bring enough people out to have crowd ed Armory Hall half a dozen times over. Those who were fortunate enough to get inside enjoyed a programme which was full Of interest from beginning to end.
 c. L.. Weller presided, and after the members of the company had marched in he introduced President J. F. Forderer of the Board of Trustees, who responded briefly. MeSsrs. Waymire Judge Els worth, Green Majors, Lamborn and Gu bery made short speeches, extending the sympathy of the community to the boys and wishing them godspeed. An attempt was made to induce some one of the Red it was unsuccessful. Mrs. F. H. McCOr- mick sang Just Before the Battle, Mother which brought tears to the eyes of many in the audience. Professor Fair sition, entitled, Who's Afraid?'' and fol- lowed it with ''Vive l'America." Mrs. F. H. Mccormick sang ''The Star-Spangled Banner" the soldiers and audience rising exercises concluded with the singing of the Battle Prayer by Miss Patterson.
 After the audience had left the hall the soldiers took their arms and, headed by a town, countermarching and taking up tie route to the camp, where they pitched their tents and were soon absorbed in the regiment. Lunch was served them at noon by the ladies of the. Red Cross. There were 1O1 men in line when the com- DanY left town.

ARMY HEADQUARTERS.
Major General Otis and Major General Merriam Are at
 the Phelan BuilClino.

The offices vacated by Major General Merritt in the Phelan building are now occupied by Major General Otis and a portion of his staff, Colonel Barry once more being at his desk as adjutant gen. eral. Yesterday General Otis spent DOT tion of his time at Camp Merritt and he proposes to do this every day until the sailing of the next expedition, which will be about July Il, and with which 1t is his present intention to take his departure. He is making every effort to have the fleet sail on or before that date.
 There are now remaining at Camp Mer- ritt nearly 5000 troops. This force, with the addition of the First New York Reg1- ment, to start for San Francisco to-day, and the troops now at the Presidio ana those en route to Manila, will make an army of about 21 900 men for the Philip pines.

terday brought more than the maximum number, with the exception of the Ala meda company, which only had 100 men in line. Marysville sent 126 officers and men, Oakland 109 and Chico 117.
 At mastering headquarters the exam ination of the men proceeded rather slowly, Company D of San Rafael was finished with during the forenoon and of the ninety-nine enlisted men examined only two were rejected-an excellent showing, which reflects credit on the work of the surgeons who made the pre- liminary inspection.
 Company B of San Jose was next taken up, every man being subjected to the most rigid physical test. Four of the first twelve called in were rejected. It required all day to pass upon the qualifi- cations of this company.
 During the day the mastering officer was notified of the appointment of Cyrus Meggett as first lieutenant of Company D. As F. ). Murray is the first lieutenant of that company and Is now in camp, it looks as though he would have to be con- tent with the second Heutenancy or forego his military aspirations.
 Orders were also received announcing the appointment of D. A. Smith as first lieutenant and adjutant. Lieutenant Smith has been acting as adjutant of the camp, and steps down one grade, as his

 and Eiqht in the State.

Captain E. A. Lorenzo, commander of Troop A, Mosbys San Francisco Hus- sars, and acting major of the First Squadron of Hussars of the California Reserve, has returned from a very suc- cessful recruiting trip through the State, and opened an office at 501 California street.
 These hussars belong to the First Cal- ifornia Regiment of Cavalry, which now has two troops organized in San Fran cisco and eight in the State.
 On Tuesday evening. July 5, there will be given at Golden Gate Hall, 625 Sutter street, a military concert and competf- tive drill, under the auspices of Mosby's Hussars, for the benefit of the equipment fund. Twenty-Five per cent of the re- ceipts will be donated to the Red Cross Society.

MONEY FOR MANILA.
A Large Amount of Gold Is Shipped on the Transport
 Steamer Newport.

The steamer Newport, which sailed with General Merritt for the Philippines yes terday morning, will bring joy to the hearts of our troops in Manila, as it car ries large sum of money for the pay ment of the soldiers and the purchase of needed supplies. It is said that the steam CT carries from one to three million dol lars in gold. It will be remembered that General Merritt, in addition to the money necessary for the use of the troops in the near future, asked the President for $10O,- GOO to be used by him as an emergency fund at his discretion. and suggested how this money could be appropriated for such purpose. This $100000 Is probably included in the coin shipment on the Newport.

 The identity of the fourth vessel of the fleet is in doubt It will either be the Umatilla. Walla Walla or State of Cali fornia. The first two named vessels are handicapped by having no means of get ting coal out of the hold into the bunkers If they are taken this defect will have to be remedied The Walla Walla carries a water tank for ballast, and in it 800 tons of coal could be stored, and with it the trip might be made, so if either vessel is taken 1t will be her. The State of Cali fornia has been examined. but as she Is small and would require considerable al- terations, the chances are against her be- ing taken.
 The Acapulco due to-day from Panama, will probably be added to the fleet. so the Peru, City of Puebla, Pennsylvania, Walla Walla and Acapulco may be the next vessels to get away.

AJOR GENERAL MERRITT
 U. s. A, with the numerous officers of his staff, embarked

MI U. S. A., with the numerous
 V officers of his staff, embarked III for Manila upon the steamer
 Newport at minutes after 9 o'clock yesterday morning. An hour later the "blue peter" was af1utter. the lines cast off and the good ship had her nose in the wind and was off overseas in the yet rippling wake of the boats of the third expedition.
 From early morning the Mail dock had been crowded to the gate with all sorts and conditions of people who had gathered for dozen different reasons. Mothers and sisters and wives were there, a host of the warm friends of the general and his officers to bid them godspeed, a crowd of curious spectators who came to see and to shout, and shout they did with right good will. Their cheering found an echo in the rigging, on the after deck and from every port hole and from wherever else a bolster ous red and blue artilleryman had been able to find a foothold.
 A singing blast from the horn of the Newport was the signal for every bass-voiced siren and shrieking fal- setto pipe along the front. Pande- monium broke loose. The myriad boats of the mosquito fleet gave good hale and courtesied their colors; from the thronged docks and berthed ships came a flash of flags and kerchiefs; a din of cannon from the Marion and Alca- traz and a shout went up as long and unremitting as the shrieking from the sirens. It was as royal a farewell as has yet been given.
 A crowd had gathered at the Palace Hotel rotunda to see General Merritt as he took his carriage for the docks. They waited patiently, but in vain, for the general, after a little post prandial at the bar, quietly slippeE@ through to Market street and unostentatiously took Third street car to the boat, his luggage having preceded him.
 Arrived at the boat side he was met by Majors General Otis and Merriam, Brigadier General Miller and a dozen other of the officers of the department who had come to bid him bon voyage and to give assurance of their keen hope of following not far behind.
 General Merriam with his party ac- companied the Newport out of the bay on the Government steamer McDoweu, as did a dozen of the small craft that blocked the big ships path.
 A few minutes after the transport had departed from the dock three be- lated privates from the Presidio bounded on the dock shouting lustily after their boat. They were taken on a launch and put aboard the Newport in the stream. No less than a dozen of the men were left behind.

 The companies that have passed the ex- animation have not been mustered in yet, nor will they be until Governor Budd ap- points the commissioned officers. The Governor is taking his time about this, and in consequence most of the officers in camp are somewhat nervous.
