Washington, May 2o.--Advices received at the war department today indicate that by tomorrow night the City of Pekin, which is to carry troops and supplies to Manila, will have started on its way from San Francisco. Over 1000 men will be aboard. Following the Pekin will be the steamers City of Sydney and Australia, which the department was advised today would be turned over tomorrow ready for loading.

This Is the Zealandia, of the Ocean Steam- ship company, which can carry 800 men.
 Allotment of Troopsa
 Up to this time it has decided to give Merritt the greater portion of the Four teenth infantry, now on the Pacific coast, the entire Eighteenth and .Twenty-third regiments of infantry, two batteries of ar- tillery and four troops of cavalry.
 Arrangements for the recruiting of the immune regiments and for the brigade of engineers will be made in a few days and circulars of instructions to govern this work will be issued
 The president has taken the initial step in the case of one regiment of engineers by nominating Eugene Griffin to be colonel and in the case of six regiments of im- munes the nominations for the coionels of which were sent to the senate today.

 Washington, May 2O--It is stated by Gen. eral Wheeler's friends here that he intends to resign his scat, but that he will wait until he gets orders to move on Cuba before doing so. A letter was received today by friend of his, in which he intimates that he will tender his resignation as soon as the war is transferred 10 Cuban soil

AMMUNITION FOUND.
On Board the Spanish Steamer Argonauta,
 Captured Some Time Ago.

Key West, May 20.-Over forty cases of ammunition were found today on the Span- ish steamer Arganauta, captured during the first days of the war. It was on board the steamer that Lieut. -Col. Cortejo Wey- ler's brother-in-law, was captured with other Spanish soldiers, now prisoners in Fort McPherson, Atlanta.
 The discovery of the war supplies on board the Argunauta will not change the status of her case before the prize court, as it had already been decided today, be- fore learning of the find, that the steamer was legitimately prize of war. no claims having been filed by the owners of the ship or cargo.
 A decision was rendered the cases of the steamer Ambrosio Bolivar and the schoon- CTS CandIdlta, Mathilde and Sophia. The only formality remaining to make these vessels tho absolute property of the United States is the confirmation by the federal court authorities of the findings of the prize commission.

pronounced expression OF opinion by
Decatur people that Faunce was lnno-
cent. Accompanying the application
for pardon were afIldayita showing that

There were other afidayits tending
TO show that Faunce was innocent and
In which the name OF Mauzy was men
toned. but some OF these have already
been opposed by statements tending to

Among the letters was one froi
Judge Hughes. OF Mattoon, who presiu-
ed at the trial OF Faunce. He said the

stantlal, except that Mrs. Oliphant

presented. In Il he said he had inves-
tlgated rumors that Mauzy was the
murderer and had always concluded
that Mauzy was not, but that Taunce
was. He said; Il havo al ways been

Two weeks after the evidence and
letters were presented to the board OF

up the Investigation OF the case and
concluded by returning an indictment
charging Joe Mauzy with the murder
for which Faunce was serving a ne
