First Expedition for tn. Philippine,
Gets Away.

First Expedition for the Philippines
Gets Away.
San Francisco, May %. - The start
was made for Manila late yesterday
afternoon and the first American army
to sail for foreign shores is now on the
broad Pacific. At 4 o'clock in the af-
ternoon Brig. Gen. Anderson signalled
from the Australia for the City of
Picking and the City of Sydney to get
under way. The signal was seen from
shore ard the waiting crowds COM
menced to cheer wildly. They knew
what it meant as we'll as the sea can
tains for whom the signal was intend.
ed. No time was lest on board the
transports. The crew worked with a
will and in short time the anchors
were up and the vessels We're under
way. Then the $500 soldiers who had
been impatiently awaiting the signal
to start let themselves loose. They
climbed to the rigging and swarmed
all over the big ships, shouting and
cheering like mad. The bay was alive
with small craft of every description.
and huge ferry boats We're pressed
into service to accommodate the eager
crowds and carry them to the head of
the Golden gate that a last farewell
might be said. The big transports
steamed slowly along the water front
and the crowd on shore raced along
To Keep Them i'm Sight.
The noise made by patriotic citizens
on sea and shore was something ter
rible. Every steam whistle in the city
appeared to be blowing, cannon were
fired and the din lasted for fully an
hour. AS the Australia passed Alat-
raz island in the lead of the other ships
the battery of United States artillery
stationed here fired salute TO Gen.
Anderson. The colors were dipped in
recognition and the steamships sound
ed their sirens. The boats, small and
large, followed as the transports
moved slowly forward, and not until
the heavy swells of the Pacific were
encountered did they turn back. 1t
was shortly after o'clock when the
vessels entered the ocean, and the sun
cleaning over the sea gave the depart
ing sailors a last view of the country
10 fight for the honor of which they
were sailing over 5000 miles. When
last seen the transports We're steam
ing slowly to the southwest. The fleet
is loaded with supplies to last year
and carries a big cargo of ammunition
and naval stores for Admiral Dewey's
fleet. 1t is not probable that any
more troops will be dispatched before
another week.

washington, May 26.-"We have not
secured any new ships, but are still
negotiating for the Colon and China"
said Assistant Secretary Meikeljohn
at the close of business hours yester-
DAY. The difficulty with these ships has
been the question of price. the owners
of them and the department being un-
able to agree on the rates to be paid.
Mr.. Meikeljohn has not yet put into
execution his threat to impress some Of
the steamers on the Pacific coast into
the service. He hopes this will not
De necessary, and that the companies
Will come forward promptly and offer
their vessels to the government at
reasonable rates. 1t is believed to be
likely that a recommendation will be
made to congress granting an Ameri-
can register to the Tacoma, Victoria
and Argyle, of the Northern Pacific
steamship line, so that they may be
lifted for use as transports as promptly
as possible. The steamer Ohio. a vcs-
sci of 1.2OO tons, belonging to the EN-
pire Transportation company, has been
offered to the government. and the
question of her acceptance is under
consideration. She is at Seattle. A
large number of
Ships Have Been offered
to the department even at reasonable
rates, but they were in such condition
that the officials promptly refused on
the ground that they would not he safe
to send troops in. Should the govern
ment decide to ask that an American
registry be given to all six vessels of
the Northern Pacific Steamship COM
pany and they he secured for trans
port purposes, these. with the five al
ready secured, aud the China. Colon
and Ohio, would furnish accommoda-
lions for betwcon $4,000 and 1900
mcn-just about the number which the
war department will send to Admiral
Dewey. An earnest effort will he
made to secure the American boats,
but it is very plainly set forth by Mr..
Meikcljobn that the officials will not
lose further unnecessary time. but will
ask that American registry be given to
certain foreign vessels or else impress
American steamers into service. The
.ldyiccs received at the department
were that the Picking. Sydney and Aus
tralia have sailed from San Francisco
for Manila.
