ed from The GAZETTE, and then have
the names mentioned in the items
changed, as was the case of county
paper in stealing the Kosel-Schrader
item out of The GAZETTE. KosePs
name was made to appear as Koska,
and this made Paul Koska, that gal
liant fighter and ex-chairman of the
board of supervisors of the town of

$500 to overthrow the election that
made him an ex, and to prosecute the
! paper that declared he was married.

Vacation
Week
in the Redwood schools
begins next Monday.

There are quite a number of
pupils who have difficulty of
eyes firing easily, or aching in
eye-balls, redness and soreness
of eyes, or headaches over eyes,
especially when necessary to
study by lamplight.
Excessive eye strain caused
by optical defects is in most
cases the cause of these symp-
toms, and relief comes by the
use of glasses fitted after care
full examination.
During vacation week, any
who may wish it may have ex-
aminations made free of charge
by H. NJ. Hitchcock, optician.
Every pair of glasses he fur
nishes is guaranteed to have
practical value in improving
sight or relieving eye strain,
the purchaser being the judge.

MANILA is TO PAY TOLL.
United states VIII Collect Customs
Taxes There.

Washington, May 25.-ln anticipation
of the early occupation of the Philippines
by the land and naval forces of the Unit
ed States, the treasury department has
already begun the formulating of regula-
tions and scheme of customs tariffs,
which will be collected by the military
authorities and turned into the treasury
of the United States "as a military con
tribution."
That the president has authority to col
lect the Philippines revenues under exist
ing conditions, is not a matter of doubt.
1t was several times done during the last
war with Mexico, and the authority of
the government in the premises was sus-
tanned by decisions of the United States
supreme court. The court, in case
which grew out of the capture and occu-
patton of San Francisco and all the up
per part of the state of California by the
United States troops, held that the pres
ident, under he constitution as COM
mander-in-chief of the army and navy,
had right to exercise the belligerent
right of a conqueror and to impose duties
on imports as a military contribution foT
the support of the army.
This was the view held by the court in
another case where it was also decided
the capture of Tampico, Mexico, by the
United States forces, though sufficient to
cause it to be regarded by other nations
as part of our territory did not make it
in fact part of the United States under
our constitution and laws
at remained" said the court, ga for
eign country within the revenue laws OF
the United States"
The tariff rates now being prepared by
the treasury department will closely fol
low the Spanish custom laws in force in
the Philippines. just what revenue they
produce is not known, but the assump
ton is that inasmuch as the home gov
eminent realized from them last year APP
proximately 100000, the actual amount
collected was about $l9000000. The gov
eminent will assume control of the reve
nues as soon as the principal seaport:
are in our possession, and will continue
to control them at least until congress
takes specific action in the case, or unit
peace has been declared between the two
countries.

To Tow the Monterey.

San Francisco, May 23.-The work of
coalmg and provisioning the Monterey is
progressing rapidly and when this is com
pleted the vessel will 90 to Mare island
to take on ammunition and to undergo a
thorugh examination before she puts to
sea.
The examiner states that the Monterey
will be towed all the way to Manila, prob
ably by some big steam collier. 1t says;
"The Monterey of herself coulu not 20
half way to Honolulu. She carries only
200 tons of coal in her bunkers, which
would hardly last more than two days.
She could carry 300 tons more on her
decks if good weather prevailed.
The Monterey will be on the dry dock
for five days. After the vessel comes
from the dry dock two days will be re-
quired for coaling, and two days for load
ing supplies She will be reaoy for sea a
week from tomorrow. The vessel that
accompanies the Monterey will be loaded
with coal and stores for herself and the
warship. The voyage of the Monterey is
hazardous one, but this is the most ia
vonble time of the year for such an I'M
deItaking."

TO PATROL THE GRAND BANKS.
British Officials VIII so Advise the
United States.

st. John. \. f., May 25.-An officer
from one of the British warships on the
west coast of this island has arrived here
to consult with the governor Sir Herbert
Murray, as to the contingency of the ar
rival of the Spanish fleet in these waters
to obtain coal. The officer desired that
his name should not be mentioned. but
he urges Sir Herbert Murray to advise
the American government to send one of
its fastest cruisers to patrol the Grand
banks for a week or more, that the cruis-
er, on sighting the Spanish, might give
the earliest possible notice of the move
ment of the enemy by making immedi-
ately for st. Johns or Cape Race and tel
egraphing its position to the United
States.

FIRST TROOPS FOR MANILA
Regiments Loaded Aboard Trans
ports mt san Francisco.

San Francisco, May 23.-California said
good bye to her first regiment of voun-
teers this morning as they marched gaily
forth from the Preside to start on their
long journey to Manila.
The men left camp at and marched
to the Pacific Mail dock, where the big
steamer City of Pekin was ready for them.
BY noon the soldiers were all ON board
and before night everything will be in
readiness for their departure.
The farewell demonstration by the peo-
pie of San Francisco will be long remem-
bered by the soldiers of the First regi-
ment. Every street leading from the Pre-
sidio to the Pacific Mail dock, a distance
of about five miles, was lined with people,
who, after the soldiers passed, followed in
their wake and marched with them to the
docks.
1t had been announced that camp would
be struck at I this morning, and long be-
fore that hour thousands of citizens had
locked to the Presidio to see the sight.
Promptly at 7 the bugle sounded and all
the tents went down together. Then, for
an hour, the soldiers were busily engaged
in rolling them up and loading them on
trucks. At s the regiment was formed
into line, and headed by its bands, march
ed out through the big stone gates of the
Preside and the journey of conquest had
commenced.
As the marching men reached the water
front, bombs were fired, steam whistles
blown and every device imaginable foI
making noise was put in full operation
The jam at the mail dock was something
terrible. In vain the police and mounted
signal corps attempted to keep the crowd
back. They were not to be denied, and
rushed on to the dock in the wake of the
soldiers.
Arrived at the dock the volunteers were
marched on board the transport without
delay 1t took considerable time for eacl
man to be consigned to his quarters, bu
this task was accomplished with but very
little confusion.
The First regiment of California volun
teers is commanded by Colonel James +
Smith and consists of 1856 officers anC
men.
Tomorrow the Second regiment of Ore
gon volunteers, one battalion of the Four
teenth infantry, United States regulars
and a detachment of the California heavy
artillery will board the steamship City o
Sydney 1t is very probable the PekiI
and Sydney will depart in company a
soon as the troops and supplies are takel
on board.

st. Paul, May 23.-James Southall, who
has been in the county Jail for several
months awaiting the action of the grand
jury has been turned over to the state
officers, the Ramsey county grand jury

government time checks to the estimated

GREETING THE VOLUNTEERS.
san FrnnciscO's Enthusiastic Wei
come to the Citizen Soldiers.


San Francisco, May 2l-Over 5000 vol
unteers arrived this morning from east
ern states. All night long trains bearing
the troops were rushed into Oakland, the
last section arriving about this morning.
When the men arrived inside of the
bay they were taken in charge by the la
dies of the Red Cross society, who had
been up all night preparing refreshments
for them. Each man was served with
sandwiches and coffee and presented with
a California rose. The men were over
whelmed with kindness and gave cheer
upon cheer for the society.
As they marched up Market street on
their way to their camping grounds, they
were given a reception by thousands of
people who lined the sidewalks. Flags
were waved and as they passed the street
corners the soldiers were showered with
flowers.
There are now IL 900 of Uncle Sans
men now quartered in the city and about
5000 more are scheduled to arrive next
week
The Nebraska volunteers are fortunate
in that they brought 10 days rations.
Hence there has been no opportunity Tor
complaint in the serving of meals at
proper hours. The men assigned to duty
in the cooks department were not forced
to forage for combustibles and in this
respect the Nebaskans have Jared better
than most of the volunteers when they
first arrived.
