Nearly 10000 to Be
 Landed There.
MAY GO TO MANILA LATER
THE SEVENTH CALIFORNIA TO
 SAIL SATURDAY.
The Problem to Let the Expedition ary Forces Finally Proceed to the Philippines May Soon
 Be Solved.

The next transport to sail from San Francisco will be the Scandia. She will probably sail on Thursday, and the troops designated to go on her are a battalion of the Twenty-third Infantry, about 325 Oregon recruits, booked for Manila. and two and a half companies Of the remain ing New Workers for Honolulu.
 Inasmuch as the Arizona, which sailed Sunday morning. having on board ,t d2oo troops assigned to General Merritt at Ma nila, is to be held at Honolulu to await further instructions, the Scandia. of course, io subject to the same order; When these two transports will reach Manila is therefore problemaucal It Is .intimated that the change of destination was due to a rear that the dlspatchlng or them direct to Manila at this time would be violation of the peace protocol under which the armistce has been declared In all probability the authorities at Washington are endeavoring to solve the problem in some satisfactory way so that the troops and supplies on the two trans ports can be forwarded to General Mer- ritt at an early day in accordance with the original intention. In the event that this cannot be done 1t is very likely that the Scandia will leave her Philippine troops at Honolulu and proceed with her supplies, including provisions, hospital stores and l 900 GOO rounds of ammunition. hospital ship under the Red Cross flag. She may also fill out her freight cargo by taking a portion of the Arizona's freight.
 The forwarding to Honolulu of all the remaining expeditionary forces will begin at the end of this week and proceed as rapidly as transportation can be furnish ed, this being in accordance with instruc- ttons received from Washington by Gen eral Merriam as published in Sunday mornings Call. The City of Sydney and the Australia the former having ca pacity of 775 men and the latter Ss6, will be ready to sail on Saturday and will carry the Seventh California Regiment. The City of Peking, which arrived at this port yesterday from Manila, will fol- low some time next week. Other trans ports are expected back soon from the Philippines. and it is safe to say that unless contrary orders come from Wash ington all the expeditionary forces now here will be landed at Honolulu within thirty days. Four months supplies for these troops are to be sent to Honolulu. If the orders for the transfer are fully carried out, and no more troops are for the present to be sent to Manila. there will soon be camped at Honolulu nearly 10000 soldiers. But it does not stand to reason that such a large command will be stationed there for any great length of time However the boys are assured of a pleasant outing if nothing else.

PREPARED TO MOVE.
The Eighth Regiment Soon Ex- poets Orders to Go to
 Honolulu

CAMP BARRETT, Sather Tract Aug. 22-The Eighth Regiment is now slated for Honolulu, if the intimations heard in and about Camp Barrett go for any thing.
 Colonel Hershaw is reported to have received definite orders, although he is as yet loath to make public their inn port or significance. Rumor. however has it that the colonel has been ordered 10 hold his men In readiness for a move some day this week He has also receiv- ed orders to make requisition for four months supplies.
 That there Is something more than ru- mor in 1t is also evidenced by a state ment reported to have been made by Colonel Henshaw to Private James Hill of Company G, whose father died at Los Angeles a few days since. The young soldier asked imploringly for a fur tough of two or three days in order that he might attend his fathers funeral. The colonel. in refusing this privilege. said that he could not do so, because he did not expect that the regiment would be stationed at Camp Barrett but few days longer.
 It will be two months tomorrow since the Eighth located in its present guar ters and within that period several re- ports of probable moves have kept up the enthusiasm of the soldiers; but with returning peace these prospects Lwindled to forgotten dreams. and at present there is feeling of considerable unrest in camp.

LIQUORS IN THE ARMY.
The Methodist Ministers of San Fra nciScO DenOunce the
 "Canteen" System.

At the regular weekly meeting of the Methodist Ministers yesterday morning, the following was unanimously adopted:
 Whereas. the so-called canteen system which now prevails in the army subjects our soldier boys to the temptations of the saloons. and has been the means of leading multitudes of young men into the drink habit. and
 Whereas. Many young men have been de- tailed to render service bartenders who have conscientious scruples against handling intox- icants and in consequence of refusal to serve in the capacity of bartenders have been sent to the guardhouse, and
 Whereas, The of beers and wines in the army posts and soldiers homes has led to in creased incorrigibility and drunkenness among the soldiers. and
 Whereas We regard the traffic in strong drink unnlitigated evil in this nation, and prolific of inebrety insanity and criminal ity. menace to our homes and youth; be it., therefore,
 Resolved That we. the members of the Meth odist preachers meeting Of San Francisco, do hereby respectfully request the President of the United States commander-in-ch chief of the army and navy to use the authority vested In him by the constitution and do all in his power to suppress the sale of beer and wines and al- cobolic beverages in the ''canteens" of the army. whether in the field, in the army posts er in the soldiers home.

The AlceZap.

For twenty years 1t has been the height of my ambition to personate the Jew Shylock as I believe it should be pre- scented. and your hearty appreciation of the greatest effort of my life. as you have expressed it here tonight. is the richest reward that I could expect or desire '' These were the words of Lewis Morrison last evening at the AlcaZar when on re- peated calls he appeared before the cur tain at the conclusion of the third act in '"The Merchant of Venice" His portrayal of the difficult part was highly success full and greatly appreciated by a large audience, all curious to see how he would handle the role in which he appeared for the first time.
 Morrison's conception of the character of the Venetian Jew differs widely from that of famous artists who have DOT trayed the part. but the difference only Miss Florence Roberts was a charming

 VERY SUCCESSFULLY.
"La Gioconda" Presented at the Tivoli-The Columbia, Morosco's and the Orpneum Have
 Excellent Bills.

A charming play, beautifully remod- eIed theater and an old-tiIne first night house resplendent in rich costumes ana jewels formed a combination that made the reopening of the Baldwin Theater last evening a distinct society and dramatic event It was not the usual first night house, with its cool, critical receptive mood, but one that accepted the produc- ton with enthusiastic warmth and in sisted on recalls too numerous to men ton.
 'Heartsease," as presented by Henry Miller and the Frohman Company, scored a genuine hit before the action was half completed. It is one of those quiet, smooth-running romantic dramas with quantum suflcit of pathos and comedy which requires an excellent company to properly display It's charms. Its cordial reception shows that this was done to the entire satisfaction of the critical audience which witnessed its Introduction here. Aside from its polished dialogue it is a series of bright and pretty moving scenes which make the story tell itself
 MT. Miller Is always pleasing in the part of a lover. and as Erie Temple, the vic tim of dire circumstances in love as well as career, he presents a character in which there Is little to criticize It is subdued yet virile and his deep and well modulated voice adds greatly to the at traction of the part.
 He has surrounded himself with an ex- cellent, Well-balanced company, among which Augustus Cook, as Lord Neville, the grabbed old father of the sweetheart in the case; C. L. Allen. as Peter Pad bury, the parvenu seeking social recOg- milton; Charles B. Welles, the clumsy Irish lover; George Heath, as the un- scrupulous Major Twonbly, were study perfect in their various parts. The same can be said of Mabel Bert. as Lady Ne vi--e and Ellen Mortimer, as Alice Tenn pie, the loving and sympathetic sister of the loVelorn composer.
 Margaret Dale, in the character of the unhappy ladylove of Temple displayed exceptional abilities and quickly won her way to favor. The other parts were well played.
 "Heartsease" goes for this week only :, and will doubtless have a very successful run.
 The remodeled and refitted theater was a pleasing surprise to the large audience. It Is decorated in white, pale blue and gold, which lights up splendidly and shows off the fine costumes of the ladies admirably. The stage has been rebuilt and lowered, the orchestra is below the level of the parQuet, and the electric lighting and the carpets are new. In short the Baldwin has not only been made up to date in every particular, but Is a beauty that needs to be seen to be appre- ciated.
 The management Is to be congratu- lated upon the suspicious reopening of their popular play house and for their genuine enterprise. They are up to date also

At the Chutes. notwithstanding the fog. the Free Theater was crowded last even ing and the performance went with & snap and vim most refreshing. Busch, the Golden Vampire was new. and suc- ceeded in tying himself into seemingly in extrcable knots, while Garden and Hunt, a new musical team, played popular melodies on a variety of instruments. Arturo Salvini has well-cultivated and sweet tenor voice and his operatic selec- tions and ballads were cordially greeted. Edwin R. Lang the poetical tramp, was even funnier than last week and Bell and Dalton. German comedians, and Fl Nfno Eddy, bounding wire performers. had new acts. There were many novelties In the moving pictures and Cannon and the Zoo received their usual amount of attention.

 blN FatalY Iriured.

Private William T. Garner of Battery E, Third Artillery. was found yesterday morning lying at the bottom of the brick culvert near Fort Point in an unconscious condition. He was taken to the post hos pital, where Surgeon Moseley dressed two gaping scalp wounds. Garner has con- cussion of the brain, and there Is little chance of his recovery. He has not yet regained consciousness. He had been down town on pass, and had been drink ing. The supposition is that he fell over the brick wall above the culvert while walking along the edge of the roadway striking his head on a pile of rocks.

Mime. Marie Tavary Is the feature of this weeks bill at the Orpheum. Last evening she received an ovation. Her first number was an operatic selection rendered with expression and sweetness. It was her encores. however. that sealed her success. Her rendition of the Ave mezzo, brought out the full quality of her voice, which is wonderfully fresh, all things considered. By request she sang Rose of Summer" in response to a second encore and many old theater-goers present compared her effort favorably with Paths famous rendition.

MOrOScO'S

"The. Ordeal of Two Sisters a sensa- tional melodrama by Dr. T. Callahan and Louis A. Imhaus. received its initial pro- duction at Morosco's last night and made a decided hit. It leads off in the first act with the financial ruin and murder Of MT Cavendish and the troubles of his daugh- ters, Belle and Annie. Lorena Atwood, as Belle carries the heavy parts of the leading lady easily and gracefully ana Landers Stevens work as the villain. Is clean cut. The fifth act terminates with a tenement house fire which is a scenic wonder even for Morosco'S. While the six acts abound with startling incidents the play is rather long and a little ludiciouS clipping will improve 1t considerably.

The Colun1bie

"On Probation a merry little comedy, containing most of the good things that comedy writers have made use of for years, was the offering at the Columbia last evening.
 The play Is from the pen of Jessep and Mathews, and tells with a dash and a vim of the snares to which the suscepti- ble male heart, backed by the possession of a large and ready purse, Is exposed It also brings to q satisfactory conclu- sion the argument that, in spite of the elasticity of the same male heart, 1t may beat for one and one alone
 The authors of "On Probation have not sought for new nor devious paths to maintain the thread of their story. WhaC was good enough for a generation of play honored situations culled from many and various sources have been skillfuily dashed together. and the result Is light and airy ensemble that makes an evening pass quickly and merrily.
 The little comedy is cast to the full strength of the Frawley Company. Theo- dore Roberts easily ranks first as the sus- ceptible Silsbe. with Miss Kara Kenwyn a close second as the intriguing Lady Frank Brooke. The moment John Burke steps upon the stage it Is evident that he Is a fire-eater of some sort, from coun- try to which he does honor.
 Fanchon Campbell was dainty Mary MarIowe. and Ned Bell made the most of Sir Maurice. Alfred Hickman as Rus sian Prince, Miss Adora Andrews as the fetching wife of Pedro, Eleanor Carey as Mrs. Harmony and Edward Conway as eral excellence of the cast.

Peru, April 5, aud it is believed that

There 10 reason TO believe the
Oregon and the Marietta when next
heard from will be reported at Rio

American representative to Brazil,
has made arrangements for coaling
the ships Immediately upon their
arrival. Brazil cannot refuse to per-
NIT the vessels to purchase sufficient
coal to carry them to Key West, her
neutrality obligations only requiring
that she shall not permit her ports
to be used as a base Of operations by
one power against another. After
leaving Rio dc Janeiro the Oregon
and the Marietta will steam al once
to Key West, where they will coal.
They will then join the North At

that Brazil declined to sell the Mich
