When Pa Comes Marching Home.

Ny pa he started out to fight the dons
right at the start.
And when he marched away l knew
that they would have TO smart,
For pa is just the braVest man you
ever seen, bet,
Bnd / amt never knew no one as
strong as he is yet!
So I've been watchin' all these days
To read how he went through
The storms of shot and shell TO raise
The old red, white and blue.
I've read about the heroes who went
rushin' in that day
The tricky Spaniards had to leave the
hills and run away:
I'm sorry for Ham Fish and that
brave Captain Capron. too
And l wisht they hadn't had TO die
before they ever knew
How much the people praised them and
How well their comrades fought
1 wisht they both could understand
The honor that they've got.
Ny pa was there somewhere, for he
was one Of Skaters men,
But We amt had letter or line from
him since then:
I've watched the papers right along
TO see his name, except
One mornin' ma forgot me, and, some
how, oversight,
And she was taken sick that Gay,
And had to GO TO bed,
And ever since, the doctors say,
She amt right in 'er head.
The neighbors bring in vittles, and
they say nice things TO me.

They let me look at ma sometimes,
bat say I mnstn It speak-
They think it might be bad, / guess,
because her head is weak
And she jist looks, when Istand there
With great big starey eyes,
Or runs her fingers through my hair
And cries and cries and cries.
And often. in the nights when can t
go to sleep, / hear
Ma calm pa or Ualkin' as if he was
somewhere near
A kind of creepy feelin' goes all
through and through me then,
And l wisht the war was over and
that pa was home agen!
l wisht that all OF them could come
Who went with him that day,
But the neighb0rs say that there'll be
some
Won't Deyer march this way.
Ny pa he's jist the brayest man you
ever seed, bet,

MANILA EXPEDITION.
Vessels Which Will Likely Com
prise the Fourth Fleet.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 19.-The
fourth fleet of transports to convey
troops TO Manila will probably consist
of the City of Puebla, due here on the
Dist inst, from Puget Sound; the Peru,
due on the 424th inst. from Hongkong;
the Alameda, due here from Australia,
and the Acapulco, now on the way from
Panama, and due on the 18th inst
They will be impressed into the service,
if necessary To these may be added
the Northern Pacific Company's steam
ers Victoria and Olympia, now at Seat
tie Both these vessels have been
granted an American registry, and are
therefore available as troop ships. Com
bined, this fleet will accommodate all
the troops that will be left at the camp,
so that ships will only then be required
for further drafts of soldiers.
Major General Merritt may sail for
Manila on the cruiser Philadelphia,
which has just received orders to be
ready for sea by July 1st. The pros
pective Governor General Of the Philip
pines is anxious to reach the islands as

sumed that he would go on the Indiana

Although disappointed, the Seventh
Regiment of California Volunteers are
not discouraged. After the change in
orders by which the regulars were sub
stituted for Colonel Berry's regiment in
the third expedition, Major General Otis
said to Colonel Berry: Il want your
regiment to accompany me when / sail

This means that the regiment will not
be kept much longer in.camp Colonel
Berry will take charge Of the recruits
for the First California, as Wen as those
for his own regiment. The recruits for
the First will be encamped on the site
OF the Pennsylvania camp, and licked

NEW YORK, June, 2O-A Times"
special from Washington says:
The capture Of Santiago may turn
out to be easier than was expected,
but preparations have been made upon
the assumption that the Spanish will
make a resistance equal to that which
would be made by the same number
Of American troops holding a like posi-
ton. But the Spanish will be weaker
than General Shafter and the fleet
combined, while late reports about the
activity and efficiency of the insurgents
lead army men to hope that their as
slstance will be Of some value.
While there is not much anxiety here
concerning General Shafter and his
army, there is a universal desire to
hear of his arrival and Of his successful
landing. Army and navy men agree
to the opinion that If the army reaches
Santiago, or the point at which it is
intended to land it, before Monday, or
even Tuesday, it will have done very
well. The transports would not sail
at high speed. Some of them may
have been detained, and as the fleet
would keep together in order to afford
the slowest ships the benefit Of con-
voy, it is conceivable that the expedi-

the Washington correspondent of the
Tribune
From these it appears that the Unit
ed States, since the reciprocity treaty
Of 1876, has had large share of the
commerce of these islands. Prior to
1876 the annual sales Of the United
States to the Hawaiian Islands had
never save in two exceptional cases,
reached $1,OO0,000. With 1876 the ST.
100000 line was permanently passed,
and since that date American exports
to the islands have steadily grown,
passing the two million line in 1879, eX-
ceeding So, 600 900 in 1883, s., 1000. 900 in
1890, passing the $5,OOO,OOO line in 1891,
and promising to reach nearly $1,000,
600 this year.
Of the total imports by the Hawaiian
Islands. in 1875, a. little more than one
third was from the United States. In
1876 the reciprocity treaty went into
operation, and in 1877 the United States
supplied one-half Of the imports into
the Hawaiian Islands, which then
amounted to So, 100000. BY 1880 the
imports had increased to over So, ,5OO,-
600, Of which over 100000 worth
came from the United States. In
1854 there were over $4,5OO,OOO, of
which more than $3,OOO,OOO were from
the United States; in 1890 Sc, ,962 600,
of which $4,711 900 came from the
United States, and in 1896 $6O63, 900,
Of which ABOUT 81 100000 came from
the United States.
OF the exports from the Hawaiian
Islands the United States also had the
lions share since the treaty Of 1876.
In 1875 only about 81 per cent of the
exports from the Hawaiian Islands
came to the United States. In 1877. the
year following the treaty, over 80 per
cent. came to the United States. and
since has continued in about the same
proportion.
OF the $2O0OOO,OOO worth Of exports
from the Hawaiian Islands since the
reciprocity treaty Of 1876, more than
S1SO, ,OOO,O worth have come to the
United States, and of the $1OO, ,OOO, 600
worth of imports into the Hawaiian
Islands during that time about S7OOOO.-
600 worth were from the United States.
Sugar, of course, appears as the chief
article of expectation from the islands.
though rice has been for years an item
of considerable value, and of late cof-
fee, pineapples and bananas have taken
important rank in the expectations of
the islands. Of the SIS, 900, 600 worth of
exports in 1896 almost $4,000, 900
worth was sugar, though in addition to
this there were exported over 5000, 900
pounds of rice, $4,000, 900 pounds Of cof-
fee, 10000 punches of bananas and
147 900 pineapples. The increase in
sugar and coffee has been rapid in the
last few years, coffee increasing from
100000 pounds in 1887 to %, ,255, 600
pounds in 1896, and sugar from PIP
100000 pounds in 1887 to 44S, ,OOO, 600
pounds in 1896. The tendency in the
last twenty years has apparently been
to reduction in the number of articles
produced. In 1876 the list of exported
articles included, besides sugar and
rice, wool, tallow, molasses, peanuts,
hides, whale oil, whalebone, ivory. salt,
sperm oil and many other articles; but
| now sugar, rice, coffee, bananas and
pineapples are the chief exports. though
the total value in 1896 was six times
| that of 1876. when the articles were
much more numerous.

A special correspondent of the Hong

from Manila, saying that the Admiral
did nothing more than flee from one
vessel to the other during the engage
ment. He was among the first ashore,
and almost before the battle was over
was at his country villa beyond the
city. He had not even allowed his Cap
tains to know where the Cavite an
chOrage was mined, and this is given as
reason why some of the mines were
exploded before the American ships ap-
preached them. They were exploded in
order to give the Spanish vessels =
chance to cross the line.
