SECOND MANILA EXPEDITION
WILL SAIL ON TUESDAY

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.-The sec
ond expedition to the Philippines will
probably get under way next Tuesday
or Wednesday. 1t will not reach the
proportions at first anticipated, owing
to the fact that the five vessels which
were to have made up the little fleet
of transports are not ready, nor will
any OF them be ready by the time
stated unless the government hurries
the supplies which have been, decided
upon to make up the cargoes Of the
vessels.
So far no supplies Of any kind have
been placed on board the China, the
Zealandia or the Colon, and the work
of fitting up the hunks for the soldiers
Is progressing ina somewhat desultory
manner, but this will not keep the YES
sells back when hurry orders are is
sued by the department.
1t Is not possible for the Centennial
or the Ohio to be made ready to start
in the second expedition.
The Morgan City, which arrived
from South American ports yesterday.
was today inspected by the govern
ment officials, and 1T is generally ex-
pected that the City Of Para, which
will arrive early next week from the
south, will be inspected, and that these
two vessels, with the Ohio and Cen
tenndal, will compose the third fleet OF
transports to be sent to Admiral
Dewey
The Morgan City, which is capable
Of carrying 800 men in comfort, Is a
powerful addition to the third fleet.
An order was issued today from Gen.
Merrftt's headquarters designating the
full companies of the Eighteenth and
Twenty -third regiments Of United
States infantry as part of the second
expedition So far as known. the
troops to go besides these regulars will
be the First Pennsylvania, Fifth Colo
RADIO, Second California, four batteries
Of the United States artillery and four
companies of cavalry
1t is possible that the Minnesota reg
iment will also go.
The Colorado and Pennsylvania vol
unteers were inspected today by Gen.
Otis. The men appeared in heavy
marching order and were put through
the usual military maneuvers. Gen.
Otis expressed himself as much pleased

Regiment Under Him While Reeves
Is Brigadier.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 3-Lieut
Col. An1es, of the Thirteenth Mime
sofa, is enjoying new honors. Technical
ly, while Col. Reeve heads the brigade,
he is acting colonel. The regiment is
to be vacinated within the next few
days as a final preparation for it's de-
parture for the Philippines. Directions
to this end have come in an order from
Gen. Merritt.
Col. Reeve in assuming command
over the brigade has been issuing some
orders on his own account. Camp
routine for the regiments under him
was prescribed yesterday. 1t provides
for the present drill to be confined to
regimental maneuverS, and each COM
mand Will observe its own guard du-
ties.
Private Currier has been appointed to
succeed Corporal Ray, Company I, de-
ceased. TIE latter's promotion occurred
during his last Illness Chaplain Cressey
officiated at his funeral yesterday.
Ladies OF the Red Cross secured the
beSt-knoWn singers in the city for
music at the service.
The boys of the Thirteenth Minnesota
are much interested in the religious war
which has sprung up on the side lines
of the encampment. The parties to the
controversy appear to be a Catholic
priest and the chaplain of the regi-
ment. Ever since the regiment went
into camp at its present quarters Chap
lain Cressey has not been alone in adj
ministering to the spiritual welfare of
the men of the regiment. Father Yerke,
local priest, who was anxious to do
something for the men Of his faith in
ille regiment, early opened up a gospel
sent on an adjoining vacant lot. 1t is
hot known just how the personal fric-
ton between the two divines was start
ed, but at any rate it is fact This
was proved by Father Yorke's remarks
at meeting last night. With consider
able acerbity of language and feeling
he referred to Chaplain Cressey as
backwoods preacher of narrow mind
and limited attainments who had been
foisted into a little brief but grateful
authority, a man who had received his
present appointment because of his
record in a previous war, and more in
the same strain.
The row between the dominies only
serves to amuse the boys, however
serious it may be to the two directly
interested.
