route between here and the Orient
The taking of the Sydney, Colon and
Newport leaves the mail company's
Panama line in a crippled condition,
and it was for this reason that the COM
pany objected to giving up the New
port. The company is not selling tick
cts for passage on the Peru for the
Orient, fact which seems to indicate
a belief by the company's officers that
she will be seized as transport.
The Alameda is due from Australia
and Honolulu on June %, and the gov
ernment agents will swoop down on
her. This will leave the Oceanic
Steamship company with only the
Mariposa on the Australian route, and

from Mare island today. 1t is thought
she and her consort the Nero, will be

been apprehended, but it is known that
the government has recently received
reliable Information that leads one to
believe that Spain has informers in
Camp Merritt.

ernment's information are not known
to the officers here, but the war de-
partment has issued ironclad orders to
the commanding officers to make a
close investigation of every man that
enlists.
1t can be reliably stated that the
government fears certain we'll known
informer, whose name for the present
is withheld. 1t is known that the gov
ernment has information that leads it
to believe that this man is in San Fran
cisco with the purpose of enlisting in
one of the regiments, even If he has
not already done so.
The man is said to have been secret
ly employed by De Lone when he was
in Washington, and it Is said he is the
