her compaeses at an early hour and
then passed up the bay through Rae

Every steam vessel in the harbor
blew au revoir to Captain Glass and
his crew. None of the forts in the

demonstration made by the 5000
soldiers gathered at the Preside was
tremendous. When the vessel was
sighted coming down the bay the
soldiers gathered on the beach to bid
her bon voyage They lined the
beach for mile, and cheer upon

to SOON follow the Charleston to the

Philippine Revenues to bt
Collected by the United

Washington, May 22-Io anticipa-
ton Of the early occupation Of the

paval forces of the United States, the
treasury department has already be-
qua the formulation Of regulations and
scheme of customs tariff which will
be collected by the military authori
ties sod furned into the treasury Of
the United States as a military con.
tribution. That the President has au-
thority to collect the Philippine reve-
nues under existing conditions is not
matter of doubt. 1t was several
times done during the last war with
Mexico, and the authority Of the gov
ernmeot 10 the premises vas sustained
by decisions Of the supreme court.
The court. in case w0ich grew out
the capture aud occupation Of San
Francisco and all the upper part of
the State Of California by the United

uoder the constitution, as commander
chief Of the army aud navy, bad a
right to exercise the belligereot right
of a couqueror and to impose duties
on imports as a military contribution
for the support Of the army

A Story Of Arctic Horror.
Which Bears JInmistakable
Evidences Of the Work of
a Fakir.

San francisco, May % Much
concern was caused in maritime cir
cles here by the receipt of letter
from Afognak, stating that man had
just arrived there, bringing the dis
tressing news that be was the real
survivor of the wha!ers who have
been imprisoned in the ice all the
winter. According to his story,
which is hardly credited amoug the
best informed whaling men, while the
whaling feet was in the ice at Point
Barrow, the ships and all the men
except one fell victims to the terrible
"pincbing" Of winter ice, which no
Arctic craft but the sturdy Framm
has ever been able to withstand
The letter came from Pfaf, OF Fog
Lake. deals principally with business
matters. and mentions only as an
incident the alleged loss Of the whal
ers. No details are given, nor Is
even mentioned the name of the sup.
posed survivor, who is said to have
carried the news to the outside world
According to the letter, the survl
vor reached Afognak in small sloop,
in which he crossed Sheikiko6 Straits
from Portige Bay to Afoguak. Whal
ing men and others familiar With the
Arctic place little faith in this letter,
but the fact that PIaff, the writer, is
in responsible position is consider
ed reliable. lie is well acquainted
with the conditions in the far North,
making those interested in the vel
fare of the whalers not a little anx-
ious
Two whalers from the feet, Mate
TiIdon and one Walker, brought
down detailed accounts of conditions
at Point Barrow about six weeks ago.
Both stated that every vessel liz the
fleet was in safe position, and that
there would be no difficulty in get
ting out when the ice broke In the
light of the statements of these two
experienced whalers. the story OF
wholesale destruction seems impro-
bable, if not impossible
1t is surmised that the story may
have grown out of something said by
Mate Tildon when he passed through
Afognak. TiIdon at first refused to
talk about the whaling feet unless
well paid, and it is possible his silence
was misconetrued BY the Afognsk
people who were compelled to guess
at the nature Of the news be carried
Pfafak's letter also announces the
loss of the schooner Alexandra,
which sailed from San Francisco for
OuuaIaska, February 5. carrying sup
plies for the North American Bering
Sea Company She was commanded
by Captain Avery end had crew of
six men.

The Great Monitor Monterey
Ordered to Manila.

Washington, May 81 The news
event of the day at the navy depart
ment was the dispatch of the order to
the Monterey to proceed to Manila to
reinforce Admiral Dewey's squadron.
The Monterey is tower OF strength
in herself. and her addition to Ad-
miral Dewey's force, together with
the dispatch of thousands of troops
to Manila, is ample evidence that the
Administration has assumed no half
hearted attitude towards the Philip
pine question. aud is determined to
take no chance of dispossession until
such time as the United States have
arranged for the disposition of the
islands The Monterey is probably
the most formidable monitor in the
world. She is described technically
as barbette turret, low free board,
monitor OF 1000 tons displacement.
She is 256 leet long BY 50 feet beam
and l4 feet, 6 inches draft. She car
ries in two turrets, surrounded by
barbettes, two II inch and two 10
inch guns. while ON her superstruc-
ture, between turrets. are mounted
six 6 FOUNDERS, four l Founders and
two gatlings. The tarrets are 7 and
8 inches thick. and the surrounding
barbettes are II inches and IL inch
es OF steel, and against this armor all
the batteries 10 Manila might thunder
away without efecting an entrance.
The Mou.erey's personnel is nine
teen officers and one hundred aud
seventy.two men, and once she Is
safely in the entrance Of Manila har.
Dor nothing in the Spanish navy
would be likely to bulge her from
her poet.
Her dispatch, therefore, may have
important bearing upon the plans of
the Spanish government, SO openly
published, of sending reinforcements
to Manila.
w Lib FhODADLI OO IN WIN
VOY.
The only doubt as to the feasibility
of sending the Monterey is her small
coal capacity. She has bunker room
for Only 200 tons of coal. aud though
more might be stored on her decks.
it is doubtful whether she could at
the utmost carry more than enough
coal to take her to Honolulu, one
third of the way to the Philippines.
1t is probable that the Monterey
will go in convoy, and after exhaust
ing the coal that she will take on in
Honolulu, she must either be towed
about 1000 miles on her trip. or per
form the difficult operation of coaling
at sea
