GENERAL OTIS SAILS.
City OF Puebla and Peru Started
for Manila Yesterday

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15-Shortly
after 3 o'clock this afternoon Ma jor
General Otis, from his flagship the City
of Puebla, signaled the transport Peru
to get under way. The signals We're
understood by the anxious watchers
on shore and by those who had sur
rounded the two vessels in small boats
and We're received with great cheering.
As the two vessels got under way the
cheering increased in volume and to
the accompaniment of hundreds OF
steam whistles and the firing of bombs
and cannon the two vessels proceeded
slowly down the bay, past the water
front and out toward the Pacific.
The vessels had some difficulty in
making their way through the maze Of
small boats. which constantly interfer-
ed with their passage, until they at
tained such speed that nothing but the
powerful tug boats, loaded with friends
and relatives Of the soldiers, could
keep pace with them.
The soldiers on the transports crowd
ed into the rigging and answered the
cheering of the civilians with hearty
good Will. and responded to the dipping
flags of the merchant vessels by
WdN iHS their IldlS anu ndUQkeTcniclS
AS the two vessels and the small Ileet
of accompanying tow boats passed the
forts the big guns from the batteries
sent forth their thunder in salute, to
which the transports responded with
their steam sirens.
Long before dusk the last good bys
had been said to the departing vessels
from the decks of the tugs and the
heavily laden transports proceeded on
their way to Honolulu, where they will
stop TO participate in the annexation
ceremonies and to take on fresh pro-
visions and to refill their coal bunk
ers.
Major General Otis and staff have
their headquarters on the City Of Pu-
ebla, which also carried the remaining
companies Of the Fourteenth United

HONOLULU NEWS.
General Merritt Has Sailed From
There for Manila.

SAN FRANCISCO, July ID The
steamer Gaelic from Hongkong, YolSo-
hama and Honolulu brings the follow
ing letter from Honolulu under date of
July Sth:
Murat Halstead, the famous pollti-
clan, editor and historian, is in this
city. He arrived by the transport New
port yesterday morning. Since leaving
San Francisco Mr.. Halstead has been
suffering with slow fever and soon
after reaching Honolulu was transfer
red from the ship to the local hospital,
where he now is and likely to remain
for some days to some. He may decide
to return TO San Francisco, unless there
is marked improvement in his condi-
ton.
General Merritt made arrangements
to-day to have a military hospital in
this city. He secured the premises
known as Independence Park. The
property will be altered and fitted up
at once. An army surpeon and staff
Of stewards and hospital corps will ar
rive by the earliest steamer possible
to take charge.
This is said TO be the first military
hospital established by the United
States outside the bounds of the coun-
try.
Both the Valencia and the Newport
reached here early yesterday morning
from San Francisco. The Valencia ar
rived first, followed closely by the New
port. There was a slight accident to
the machinery Of the latter on the way
down, as a result of which she was
hove to for several hours. AS soon
as she arrived it was given out that
she would coal as fast as possible and
hurry on TO Manila, without regard to
the other vessels of the expedition in
port.
At $50 this morning the Indiana
drew anchor and moved outside the
harbor. She was followed closely by
the Ohio and the Morgan City. AT
$50 the City of Para moved outside
and joined the feet. Just before noon
the Valencia and Newport, the latter
with General Merritt and staff on board,
left the harbor, the signal to sail was
given and the vessels moved off.
Before dark the Indiana, the flagship,
returned, accompanied by the rest of
the fleet with the exception of the New
port, which went on ahead. The Off
GERS of the Indiana reported that the
boilers had sprung a leak, necessitating
the return. 1t will take twelve hours
to make the repairs. The fleet will
make another start tomorrow.
