WASHINGTON

Preparations for the fourth expedi-
tion to the Philippines are under way
at the war department. 1t was sched-
uled to leave about the 10th of July,
but it is now realized that it is i'm
practicable unless a much smaller
array of transports is started than
was at first contemplated.
During the session just closed the
total appropriations made by congress
footed up almost $9O0,000,00O and up
wards of $350,000,000 of this was for
purely war purposes. 1t was the larg-
est aggregate by any session since the
civil war.
Nearly all the difficulty experienced
in supplying the troops on the battle
fields still lies in the transportation
department. Gen. Shafter reports that
he has received only one lighter, and
this is able to carry ashore supplies for
only one day for the army from the
transports lying far out at sea.
The Washington headquarters of the
republican national committee has
been permanently closed, the work
of the present campaign being in the
hands of the congressional commit
tee.
The war department has ordered
Gen. E. S. Otis, now at San Francisco,
to go to Honolulu to assist in the cere.
9nonies of the occupation of the Ha-
Naiian Islands. Gen. Otis has been or
dered to take the First regiment of
New York infantry with him to garri-
son Honolulu.
Because of the improper addressing

Such Is the Order Given to Commodore
Watson, the Commander of the New
Eastern Squadron.
Washington, July S.-The president
called council of war yesterday at
the White House, the purpose being to
review the situation and learn exact
ly what present conditions are and
what changes, if any, should be made
in the plans for the future conduct of
the war. According to one of the
members present it was decided to
abide by the plans already laid, at
least as to the general conduct of the
campaign. Confirmation seemed to
have been given to this statement later
in the day when after conference
with the members of the war board,
Secretary Long announced that he had
ordered Sampson to detach from his
own command Immediately the YES
sells to be embraced in Commodore
Watson's eastern squadron and to di-
rect the commodore to proceed on his
mission. The vessels of the equadron
will not be the same as those original
ly selected, for the reason probably
that the recent engagement with Ger
yera's squadron necessitated changes.
The new eastern squadron will con-
sist of the battleships Iowa and Ore
gon, the protected cruiser Newark
and the auxiliary cruisers carrying
side armor) Dixie, Yankee and Yose-
mite, the GOLFERS Averenda, Cassius,
Caesar, Leonidas and Justin, and the
supply boat Delmonico.
The Iowa, Oregon and Newark are
all in the south with Sampson. So is
the Yosemite. The Dixie is at New
York and the Yankee at Tompkins-
vile.
The colliers are at Hampton Roads.
The ships are to set sail as soon as
they can coal and supply. They will
! not be required, in the case of the
southern vessels, to come north, which
would mean the loss of several days,
but will start directly from where
they are now located. The order pro-
vides that each ship shall make her
way across the Atlantic to a marine
rendezvous, which will be designated
in sealed orders to prevent it's expos
ure to the slightest possible danger
from the enemy, and the most that is
known is that it will be at some point
off the Spanish coast. 1t probably will
not be long after that before the
squadron will be in full pursuit Of
Camara with his remnant of the Span
ish navy.
Meanwhile the gathering of the
| American fleet off the Spanish ports
is expected to have SOLDERING effect
upon the infamed people.

from the toe to the top, and is quite
the most remarkable stocking of the
