Third Manila Expedition Will Prob
ably Sail Monday.

San Francisco, June 25.-Arrange-
ments for the sailing of the next expe-
dition of troops for Manila are practi-
cally complete and every effort will be
made to start on Monday but the prob
ability is that there will be some delay.
Major General Merritt has left the
matter of embarkatiOn TO the control
of Gen. Otis. 1t is very probable that
the majority of the soldiers will not
embark until Monday morning, though
some have been ordered to embark on
Sunday.
The whole quota of troops, including
those who are to go on the Newport
with Gen. Merritt on Wednesday, as
well as those which have been assigned
to the five transports scheduled to sail
on Monday, numbers roughly 5000 men.
The troops for the Newport have not
yet been officially announced, but it is
generally understood that batteries H
and K OF the Third artillery. Captain
O'Hara and Captain Hobbs and the As
tor battery Will have the honor of be-
ing on the vessel with Major General
Merritt and his 10 staff officers.
The Indiana and Morgan City are
completely ready and both vessels are
receiving their fresh meat The Ohio
IS rapidly receiving her freight and
though not so far advanced as the
other steamers, will be entirely ready
by Monday. The City of Para has most
of her freight board and the New
port, which has come off the dry dock
is loading both freight and coal
The Valencia has began cOaling. The
Puebla is still discharging and men are
busy on her new propeller, two blades
of which have been broken. Some rap
id work will have to be done on the
Puebla. but it is thought there will be
no delay in getting her ready if the
third fleet does not get away before
next Wednesday. The Peru will be ta-
ken by the government for transport
service. 1t will take two or three days
to discharge her, and then she will be
made ready for use in the fourth expe-
dition.

NEW NIAGARA BRIDGE.
Famous Suspension Bridge Will Soon
Be Removed.

Niagara Falls. June 25.-The last of
the famous suspension bridges at Nj
agara Falls is about to disappear. a
second great steel arch is being con-
structed across Niagara gorge, and
when it is completed the upper susper-
sion bridge. close to the great falls, VIII
be removed
The new structure will connect the
two great free parks, Queen Victoria
Falls Park on the Canadian side and
the New York state reservation on the
American side.
Because the arch bridge now under
construction. will be the largest cf its
kind in the world the work is beng
watched with great interest by civil
engineers, not only in railroad circles
but generally. While it is not designed
to carry the strain of moving trains it
is conceded that the details would have
been little different had it been con-
templated for such uses as the Grand
Trunk bridge near at hand is put 10
many times day.
Over 1850 feet of distance separates
the high cliffs which will support this
new bridge, and owing to the peculiar
formation of the land it has been i'm
possible TO build false works TO sus-
tain the main arch, which is the Tloea-
bic part of the structure. On etther
bank, however, high false works nave
been constructed. These rise from the
abutments to the floor of The old sus-
pension bridge. which has been left IN
place to aid the work OF building the
new structure. The false work also eX-
tends on either side from the abut-
ments over the slopes of the bank to
the cliffs, and on this the shure spans
or approaches will be built.
The main arch Of this gigantic bridge
will be S6S feet long. This Will be
reached from the Canadian side by an
approach 210 feet long. The approach
from the New York side will be i90 feet
long. This will give the new structure
total length Of 1868 feet
The bridge will be single structure
