ASSIGNMENTS FOR MANILA
TROOPS TO COMPOSE THE THIRD
EXPEDITION.
Idaho and Wyoming Volunteers In
cluded-Not Certain That General
Merritt Will Go.

San Francisco, June 1S.-The vOlun-
teers who see the end of their weary
stay in camp in sight are eXUitaIt over
the prospect of a start for Manila next
week. Major Generals Merritt ard
Otis, after lengthy consultation in
comp. today confirmed the provisional
selection of the following commands,
which were ordered to be ready to en-
bark on June %, although ii is i'm
probable that their departure viii be
an accomplished fact for several days
later than that date: Thirteenth Min

II ITS of volunteers; two battaliOns of
Idaho volunteers; one battalion of
Wyoming volunteers, two battalions OF
the North Dakota volunteers. and bat
teries G nd L, of the Third United
States artillery.
1t IS improbable that any volunteers
other than those mentioned Will ac-
company BTigadier- General Charles
King, who will command the third ex-
petition. Regiments will not be di-
Yided, either in their disposition or in
the transports wherein they shall sail
when it is possible to avoid so doing.
General Merritt is very DESTROYS that
the troops named may be supplemented
by a detachment from the engineer
corps.
ne question of the departure OF
General Merritt with the next eXDed;-
ton. to assume the military governor
ship of the Philippines. is contingent
upon the latest news from Manila.
One suit per man of brown canvass
clothing, and the necessary light I'M
derClOthing for use in hot weather on
the voyage will be issued to the troops
on every transport before they sail from
this port for the Philippines.
Colonel Frederick Funston. of the
Twentieth Kansas, has arrived in this
city, and has taken command Of his
regiment at Camp Merritt. Colonel
Funston spent two years in Cuba as
chief of artillery of the lnsurgent army.
y few months before congress declared
war on Spain, Colonel Funston resign
ed from the Cuban army and returned
to Kansas. his native state. When hos

II (per the Associated Press Dispatch
Boat Wanda, via Kingston, Jamaica,
Saturday, June 1S).-A hot brush be-
tween some Spanish troops and a
accommodating party in steam cutters
occurred at daylight this morning in a
small cove west of MORO Castle. The
Massachusetts steam cutter, in charge
of Lieutenant Harlow, entered the cove
TO take soundings and reconnoiter.
When well inside the inlet a detach-
ment Of Spanish infantry opened fire
upon the cutter from d blockhouse.
TIE fire was vigorously returned by
the marines in the boat and also by
marines who were in the New YOrkS
cutter, which was in charge of Naval
Cadet Powell, and which had followed
in. The New York's cutter was hit ten
times, and a marine in the cutter of
the Massachusetts had the stock of his
rife shattered, nut by great good luck
no one was hit. The Texas opened
fire with her six-pounders on the hill
side, and the Vixen steamed right into
the cove and peppered the blockhouse
with her rapid-fire guns. Eventually
the Spaniards retreGted to the woods
and the two steam cutters withdrew
The Yankee arrived here yesterday
and Captain BroWnson reported that
on Monday last, while off Cienfuegos,
a Spanish gunboat came out to meet
the Yankee, evidently IfliStaking her

however, saw their mistake, turned
tail and opened fire, which was hotly
returned by the Yankee. The latter
chased the gunboat until the Spaniard
took refuge in the harbor, whose forts
opened fire on the American vessel
Thereupon the Yankee engaged the
eastern and western batteries, but. see
ing no chance of catching the gunboat,
the Yankee withdrew. During the en-
gagement a Spanish shell burst over
the Yankee and a falling fragment
struck a landsman named Kennedy,
formerly an insurance clerk in New
York CIV, infiicting a severe flesh /

Washington, June 1S.-Secretary AL

Importance TO army officers. in which
he holds that men serving within the
limits of the United States at a time
when there is no army within said lin

which the decision was based arose in
connection with the claim of some Of

tended they were entitled to the pay Of
the higher grade. The paymaster gen.

not operating against the enemy until

NEGLIGENCE IN THE NAVY.
Cruiser Permitted a Rich Prize to
Escape.

Washington, June 1S.-No confirma-
tion has'reached here of the report from
Spanish sources that the Spanish food
laden steamer Purisima Conception has
managed to slip into Manzanillo, Cuba,
and if this should turn out to be the
case, there is a strong disposal to hold
somebody accountable. While the town
mentioned is not within the blockading
lines, II is felt that with due vigilance
the vessel could have been captured by
one of the American cruisers. The vex-
atious feature of the boats arrival at
Manzanillo is that the large amount of
supplies she carried are probably placed
in reach of the Spanish defenders of
Santiago. There are other Spanish
forces in the neighborhood reported to
be in desperate straits as to food and
ammunition. who may be enabled, If
this rumor proves true, to continue ei-
fective resistance for some time.
