and 1t Is believed that the day was named purely for the purpose of hurrying up the supplies of the troops that are to go. The expedition. however, may sail the latter part of next week, and possibly not before the first of the week following.
 The slate made by headquarters on Thursday night of the troops to go next comprised the First battalions of the Twenty-third and Eighteenth infantries, the Engineer Corps. the Tenth Pennsyl- yania Volunteers, the First Colorado Vol unteers and a battery of the Third Artil- lery.
 The First Battalion of the Twenty -thrid Infantry Is composed of B, F, H and D Lieutenant-Colonel French. The First of the Eighteenth Infantry comprises Com panies A. B, E and G, and is under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Bailey. The order to prepare for authorization states that supplies and subsistence for six months, with 400 rounds of ammuni- ton, will be carried by the expedition. This same order regarding supplies ap plies to the other commands that are to go.
 The two battalions of regulars will be composed of old soldiers, the other com panies of the two regiments having cen drawn upon to furnish seasoned and we'll drilled men. This leaves the Eighteenth and Twenty-third, with one skeleton and one new battalion to recruit, which they will no doubt shortly accomplish, as $50 recruits are on their way here from the East to join these commands.
 The Thirteenth Infantryis rapidly filling

 The officers and men. of the Sixth Cali fornia Infantry are wrought up to a high pitch of Indignation over an article in an evening paper a few days ago in which the regiment was referred to in uncomplimentary terms. Every man Is anxious to see active service, and Thurs day evening a large delegation waited upon Colonel Johnson and asked him to make every effort to secure assignment to the Philippines. They have little fancy for. coast patrol duty and unless the Sixth is ordered abroad many will. seek to be transferred to some more fortunate organization.

The steamer Centennial arrived from Seattle yesterday and will dock at Fol- som-street wharf to-day to get ready for her trip to Manila According to the agents of the vessel, she is ready to go out with 6S0 soldiers as soon as the stores have been put aboard. The chances are, however, that she will be delayed several days, as the army au- thorities contemplate making number of changes in her accommodations.
 The Centennial was built in 1859, and was then known as the Peninsular and Oriental steamship Delta. Being a roomy ship she was employed for a number of years in carrying coolies from port to port on the Chinese coast. Later she was sold to the Nippen Yusen Kaisha Company of Japan and her name was changed to the Takasago Maru. She was employed in carrying contract laborers between Yokohama and Honolulu for some time and dur ing the Chinese-Japanese war she car ried troops up and down the coast of Japan for that Government. When running to Honolulu she carried 1900 Japanese each trip, and on one occa- sion she carried 1500 soldiers on the coast.
 From the Japanese flag the vessel was changed to the Danish and was given the name which she now bears. She was brought to Victoria, B. C., and there fitted out for the Klondike trade. At that time the rush via Dyea and Skaguay was at its height and on one occasion the Centennial carried as many as 685 gold-hunters to the north. She is a good stout vessel of 1287 tons net burden, 324 feet long, 35.6 feet broad and 305 feet deep.
 In the matter of accommodation for the troops, the Centennial is away be- hind either the Australia or the Zea- landia- On the latter vessels each sol dier has separate berth, which. he can enter and leave at pleasure, but on the Centennial the men must be crowded into all kinds of holes and corners, and as many as twelve hunks are fixed into a small square space that would ordinarily accommodate six. There is an entrance to the hunks from three sides, so that the four men at the head and the four men at the foot can crawl into the space allotted to them without much trouble. The four men in the center, however, have to get into their beds the best way they can,

Fourth Cavalry, from the Department of the Columbia, will soon arrive in this city. Recruits sufficient for two additional troops have been enrolled. The second squadron of the Fourth Cavalry will be commanded by Major Fucker.
 The Quartermaster's Department of the United Steates Government has made one record in this war which may never be obliterated. One hundred and fifty mules were obtained in Baltimore recently and shipped to San Francisco to supply the army needs of this de- partment. Each mule of the lot deliv- cred in San Francisco cost the Govern ment $291, sum sufficient to purchase three good, serviceable mules in this city. It Is said that the mules were not taken out of the cars for exercise dur ing the trip across the continent and were so badly damned in transit that many of them will not be able to work

light batteries, but yesterday he had re- ceived no official notification to that ef- feet, and he declined to discuss the mat ter further than to state what he had heard. There seems to be no doubt, how ever, that the engineers will remain, for the corps has sonly sixty men. and 1t should be recruited up to Its maximum strength, which is 150 men.
 The First Colorado and Tenth Pennsyl- vania were inspected in heavy marching order yesterday by Colonel Hughes and Captain Mallory. These two regiments will certainly go on the next expedition. and the quartermaster's department has orders to stop everything else so as to have these two commands in readiness by Tuesday.
 There is a suspicion that political wire pulling is having much to do with the troops that compose the second expedi- tion, and open expressions are to be heard among the officers of the regi- ments that remain regarding this sub ject.

 Yesterday afternoon a change was made in the selection of troops that are to go It was reported upon the very highest authority that one or both of the Utah Light batteries would be substituted for the Corps of Engineers. Captain Young, the senior officer in command of the bat teries. admitted that he was hopeful of going to Manila but he refused to dis cuss the orders that he received late yes terday afternoon Captain Longfitt of the Corps of Engineers stated that he had
