CHARLESTON TO SAIL.
win Go to Dewey's Assistance At Once
With a Pull CarKo.


Washington, May l2.-The navy ha.
decided TO have the cruiser Charleston
start at once on It's relief mission to Ad'
miral Dewey's iieet at Manila, and she
viii leave without waiting to convey
the City Of Pekin and the other ships
loaded with supplies.
Tho ammunition on boari includes
100 rounds Of big projeotiles for the
Sinch guns Of the Olympia, about 2OOC
6-inch shells and 10000 5.inch shells, as
all Of the cruisers Of Admiral Dewey
feet mount 5-inch and 6.inch guns.
There is also an ample supply Of the
smaller sizes Of shot and shell for the
machine and rapid fire guns. The stock
Of powder viii be in three lots, aggre.
eating 10000 pounds.
Owing to the hurried departure Of tbE
Charleston 1t Is not expected that she
will wait for any considerable number
Of troops, as these will follow later on
the other relief ships.
She has a crew Of about 800 men and
this will be augmented by marine
guard.
The Charleston Is protected cruiser
Of $3.50 tons displacement, built Of steel
and mounts eight guns in her main hat.
terry. She has twin screws and an indi.
Gated horse power OF $685. The au.
thorities hardly expect her to make more
than 10 knots with her heavy stock OF
coal, ammunition and supplies. Her
coal bunkers are rather limited, so that
she probably will have to stop at Homo,
lulu to recoal Her trip to Manila will
take about two weeks. The City OF
Pekin, which will follow her, is a very
fast merchantman, so that even the
handicap she has Of starting several
days after the Charleston therc is pros,
poet she may ovorhaul.her in the race
across the Pacific and reach Manila first.
This viii depend, however, on how soon
the City Of Pckin can be made ready for
a start. Saturday is the earliest date
mentioned.
The rush orders to the Charleston will
have the result possibly OF obliging the
department to send another vessel. prob
ably the Philadelphia, along with the
troop transports, which are expected
to go out from San Francisco about the
end Of the week.
