MONTERREY SAILS FOR MANILA.
The Second Expedition of Troops
May Get Away Saturday.

May Get Away saturday.
San Francisco, June THE principal
event in the local war situation to-day was
the departure of the monitor Monterey
and the collier Brutus for Manila
The order to get under way was issued
about l O'Clock, and shortly afterward the
wharves and docks on the water front
were crowded with people, anxious to wit
ness the departure of the formidable fight
ing machine and the collier which is to
accompany her.
Every steam whistle on the water front
blew farewell, and as the two vessels
moved down the harbor toward the Golden
Gate the crowds on the Wharves set up
a mighty cheer.
That the expedition to the Philippines
will not leave here before next Saturday
seems almost certain at this writing
Stores, supplies and ammunition are being
placed on board, but the work will hardly
be completed before the end of the week
though ii is stated that the vessels will
get away on Friday
The troops, which are to embark on the
Colon, Zelandia and China, are ready for
service the last equipment being delivered
today.
High rates of charter and a scarcity of
ships is preventing the war department
from getting the third Manila expedition
under way. The three transports engaged,
the China Colon and Zelandia, will con-
stitute the second expedition.
Ship owners are demanding extravagant
prices for steamers, and they will not be
met by the war department. Unless some
of them make more reasonable PROPOSE
tions it is a foregone conclusion that a
number of steamers will be seized and
drafted into service.

London. June THE Madrid correspon-

terview with Senior Moret, the former
secretary Of the colonies, In the course
of which Senior Moret said: 1.-THE govern
ment does not know where 1t Is going.
Moreover, there is not person in Spain
who can tell the outcome of the present
situation, which Is far more grave than
is generally confessed.
1.-The government has no fixed plan. 1t
allows matters to follow their own course,
needless Of tho ultimate consequences.
1.-THE ship of state is drifting. Be
sides, it is useless TO conceal the fact
that the cabinet is no longer solid, de-
spite its reconstruction. To-day the con-
fusion is complete. 1t is concealed as well
as possible, but if the truth of the situa-
ton ever becomes known, the most serious
complications may result.
1.-THE present ministers lack energy ]
won't say they are voiceless, because they
talk too much, but they never act. They
are absolutely impotent and are simply
trusting to chance to get them out OF
their troubles.

question of ships for transportation of
troops to the Philippines. II was definitely
decided tonight that the steamship Cen
tennial will not be of the fleet. as she has
been found unseaworthy.

will impress into government service the
steamships Senator, City of Pueblo, and
Queen of the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany. Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn to-
day telegraphed Gen. Merritt to have these
vessels inspected with a view TO their use
as troopships, and if found suitable to i'm
mediately press them into service.

ment has in view several ships of the
Northern Pacific Steamship Company.

HARD PRESSED AT MANILA.
Native Regiment Kills It's Officers

NauVe regiment Kills It's Officers
and Desert Spanish Cause.
London, June "A dispatch to the
Times, from Manila, referring to the fight
ing of May 80 and June l, says the Span
ish loss in killed, wounded and prisoners
was heavy, but that the most serious feat
ure of all for Spain is the detection of
hundreds of native auxiliaries.
The dispatch says: zone native regiment
deserted, after killing it's officers and mas.
sacreing a company of Spanish infantry,
and rebels and ex-rebels on both sides have
been shot because they were suspected of
treachery to their respective generals.
The Spaniards are endeavoring by
every means to win over the rebels, who
are attracted by promises of pardon and
high offices.
But Aguinaldo's attraction is stronger.
He has completely surrounded Manila by
cutting the railroads and holding the riv-
ers by which food had previously reached
the city. If the city is not starved into
surrender the rebels may carry it, having
now in increasing number of rifles and
field guns.
"Aguinaldo's treatment of the Spanish
prisoners is exemplary. Few excuses are
reported except where priests were multi
ated before being killed.
Admiral Dewey is not assisting the reb-
els, but it is probably due to him that
! Aguinaldo's forces avoid excuses.
Foreigners with the exception of the
French nIms, remain in Manila, but are
ready to board the refugee steamers as
| soon as the necessity arises.

post Some think it would have been well
to place him in command of a Spanish

almost the heaviest immediate task of the
government, but the Queen Regent believes
that foreign affairs are not of less i'm
