MERRITT'S MOVEMENTS.
Waiting Troops at San Francisco
 Under Discipline.

San Francisco, May 27.-General Merritt, who will command the Amer ican forces in the Philippines and who arrived from Washington last night, has established his headquar- ters in this city at the Palace hotel. He held long conference with Major General Otis this morning, but will not divulge any of his plans for the future.
 General Otis will tomorrow take up his residence at Fort Richmond and will have the volunteers now encamped there under his eye at ali times He will enforce strict discipline in the camps from now on.
 Today Captain c. L. Hooper re- oeived instructions from Washington ordering him to proceed to Manila by the next transport, to assume com mand of the cutter Hugh Mccullough, to succeed Captain Hodgeson, who is ordered home. Arrangements have been made by General Otis for the es- tablishment of military hospital near the site Of Fort Richmond. The tents will be erected for sick soldiers and nurses will be always in attendance.

Kansas City, May 27.-This is Dewey Day. set apart by the city council for the celebration of the Manila victory. Both Kansas Cities joined in the most popular demonstration ever held here and crowds from dozen Missouri and Kansas towns lent their aid. The street parade contained no less than 30,OOO people.
 Nearly 10000 school children marched eight abreast and formed a division mile long, each child car rying flag. A float bearing model of the battleship Olympia, manned and complete, brought forth volleys of hurrahs from thousands who lined the streets, while another float manned by Italians of the city, representing Cuba with Weyler crouching before Uncle Sam, was lustily cheered The line of march was profusely decorated and the most intense enthusiasm abounded

There are many cases of measles and bronchial affections among the sol diers and the marine hospital, which has been used temporarily, is made quate to the demands.
 It is not expected here that the transport fleet of vessels which will make up the second expedition to go to Manila with endorsements for Admiral Dewey will get away for at least ten days. The China arrived here today from the orient and will not be turned over to the government until Monday next. The Colon is here and force of men will be put to work on her at once to prepare her for the voyage. The Zealandia is being fitted up in her dock, but the Centen- nial and the Ohio will not arrive from Puget Sound for some days yet. It is generally understood that the five vessels VII carry 5000 men, which will include the Pennsylvania, the Colorado and the Minnesota regi- ments, the Seventh regiment of this state and the Eighteenth and Twenty third, now en route from New Orleans.
 The work of repainting the Phila- delphia is being rushed at Mare Island and she will doubtless convey General Merritt and his staff to the Philip pines. One good effect of General

CHARTERING SHIPS.
None Will Be Impressed if Owners Are
 Reasonable.

Washington, May 27-Two more Isteamships, the China and the Colon, |of the Pacific Mail Steamship company, were chartered today by Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn to carry troops for the Philippines. The vessels, it is understood here, carry fully 2,500
 men, and if they can be made ready in time they will forward a part of the second expedition to the islands.
 MT. Meiklejohn succeeded in com-
 municating with C. P. Huntington,
 president of the company, by tele-
 graph somewhere in Iowa last night land as result of his propositions the China and the Colon were secured. The latter vessel is at San Francisco, where fshe is loading commercial cargo for the orient and was expected to sail to- morrow. The China arrived at San
 Francisco today. As soon as prac-
 ticable both ships will be turned over
 to the agent of the quartermaster s department for such changes as may be necessary. -
 Five vessels are now available for the second expedition to the Philip pines, the Centennial, the Zealandia, the Ohio, the Celon and the China. Their combined capacity is apprOxi- mately 5000 men, and it is the opin- ion of officials here that they may be ready to sail for Manila some time next week. The acquisition of the China and Colon is a source of satis- faction to MT. Meiklejohn, who says the department is now in much better shape as regards transportation. He explains that there IS no desire on the part of the government to impress into service unless such action is ab- solutely essential for it's purpose.
 The government wants to be abso- lutely fair in its terms of charter, but at the same time believes that it is paying for vessels all that they are worth. It may be interesting to yes
 seI owners to know that a decision has been reached by MT. Meiklejohn in making contracts in the future to concede to them certain features re- lating to the crew and which were em-

ing already One western senator who has been an ardent supporter of the Cuban cause said yesterday:
 I'm sick and tired of the whole Cuban business, and I wish to God l could wash my hands of it. III had known two months ago what I know now should never have voted as I did"
 Another congressman has a novel theory, which, however, is not 90 fln- probable as it may seem at first blush. It is that the whole Cuban rebel- lion, so far as armed eppositie n to Spanish rule is concerned, is a huge fake. That the Cuban army aever had but handful of men at any time. and that there was a secret under standing between the leaders of the rebellion and the governor-general at Havana, by which neither side Was hurt very much, and by which there was division of money received from Spain.
 Making all allowance for an exag- geration, there may be something n this. At any rate. there is a faelfng here that we are on the eve Of being treated to a sensation Of world-vfda importance, the result of which win De to discredit utterly the majority of the Cuban leaders.

 No further steps have been taken by the war department to obtain the six ships of the Northern Pacific com pany, for which agents are holding out for a larger amount of money than the government is disposed to pay. MT. Meiklejohn declines to give any more money than that last proposed, be- 'lieving that the benefits which would accrue to ships of American register would more than compensate for the lower prices at which vessels are asked to be turned over.

PRIZE MONEY TO BE DIVIDED.
Sampson Will Come in for an lnde-
 pendent Fortune

New York, May 27.-One hundred and fifty thousand dollars in prize
 money. That is the sum that Will liam I. Sampson, commander Of the
 North Atlantic squadron. will obtain from the sale of the six principal Spanish ships and cargoes captured by American men-of-war since the be- ginning of the war with Spain. This computation of what Admiral Samp- son alone will get from the condemna- tiOn of the six ships and cargoes only is based on the first authentic valua- tion of the same which has yet been made, and which was given by Edward, K. Jones of New York, special counsel for the United States government in the prosecution of all the prize cases.
 MT. Jones has examined closely into the value of the ships and their car goes. He estimates that the six prin- cipal captures, the Buena Ventura, Miguel lover, Catalina, Panama, Guido and Pedro, with their cargoes, will bring at public sale S1,50C,000 Fifty per cent of this sum will go to the government, leaving S750,O00 to be di- vided among the captors. Of this S150,O00, 20 per cent goes to the com mander of the squadron. The re- maining 50 per cent will be divided according to rank among the officers and men on the ships making ,ne cap lures and those in sight of the cap lures when made.
 What each one below the admiral in rank will receive forms a complica- tion that cannot be figured out with any degree of accuracy at this time
 Argument in three of the principal prize cases has been concluded These cases were those of the Buena Ven tura, Catalina and Miguel lover. These ships, MT. Jones says, are of great value. The Catalina and the Panama ought to bring s500,00O each, he says.

Manila Develops Into an Excellent
 Beef Market.

Hong Kong, May 27.-The United States auxiliary gunboat Seafre. for merly the British merchant steamer Buenow, commissioned, mounting four guns and in charge of lieutenant commander of the United States navy, has just arrived here from Manila having on board the captains of the St. Louis and the cruiser Olympia, the flagship of Rear Admiral Dewey, and two officers who have been invalided.
 The situation at Manila is un- changed and the insurgents are quiet. Beef costs s2.50 per pound at Manila. The report that the commander of the Spanish boat Callao was tried by a court martial and shot for not firing on the American ships which cap- tured Manila is untrue. The Seafire will return to Manila on Monday next.

 Madrid. May 27.-A dispatch from Havana says Captain-Genera1 Blanco has received news that nearly thirty American vessels were seen in front of Cardenas.
