impressment will be the rule until enough
vessels have been secured to carry the
army 10 the Philippines.
The Pacific Mail Company's steamer
Newport has been impressed. This makes
the sixth vessel owned by the Pacific
Mail Company which is in the service
Of the government. The steamer was
thoroughly f~umigated and has gone to
the Mail dock. Her cargo will be dis
charged as rapidly as possible and then
Peru is due from the Orient June oath
and the City of Rio de Janeiro follows
her on July 5th. Both steamers will prob

The Alaemeda is due from Australia
and Honolulu on June 2Sth and the gov
rnmen agents will swoop down on her.
This will leave the Oceanic Steamship
Company only the Mariposa on the Aus
tralian route and no steamer on the Hon.
olulu route.
The Pacific Steam Whaling Company's
steamer Valencia has been chartered. 1t
is said she will not carry more than 800
men. The City of Para is being prepar-
ed for occupation by the troops. When
the accommodations are completed it is
said the steamer will accommodate 1000
men.
The Nero is taking coal as rapidly as

that large quantities of supplies are

Rear Admiral Sampson is in daily
