Troops to Be Constructed at
Honolulu and the Harbor to Be
Surveyed and Fortifcations
Planned-Stampede to Forty
Mile Creek-Disappointed Pros
pectors From Copper River.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 21.-The
transport Arizona, with Major General
Merriam and staff and about 1900
troops, sailed for Manila, va Honolulu,
just before noon to-day. The Scandia,
with another detachment of soldiers,

struct barracks and hospitals for the

attached to the Department of the Pa
cfic, of which he is the commanding
officer
Brigadier General King is in charge
of the troops ON the Arizona. Major
General Merriam has instructions to
erect hospital at Honolulu to cost
with its site $4,000. Barracks for at
least 300 troops are also to be erected
at Honolulu. The First New York regi-
Elent, consisting of 1900 men, and 300
men of the Second Regiment of Volun-
teer Engineers, have been sent from
here as the United States first garrison
on the island. This force will be in
creased by the enlistment of battalion
of 400 men from the Hawaiian militia.
General Merriam has authority to
srend $50, coo for the erection of these
barracks.
Officers quarters at Honolulu are also
to be built, and it is understood that
General Merriam has power to spend
SJS,0OO for that purpose. Residences
for forty-four officers are to be erected.
One of the most exacting duties Gen
eral Merriam is intrusted with is a
survey of the harbor of Honolulu, and
report as to the best means of forti-
fying it. He has with him three COM
petent engineers, who will have imme
diate charge of that work. Brigadier
General Miller is in charge of the troops
remaining in this city.

ALL QUIET AT MANILA.
Danger of Collision With Insur.

LONDON, Aug. 22-The Manila cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph" in
dispatch dated Sunday, says: Gen
eral Merritt has proclaimed a govern
ment of military occupation. The news
Of the armistice arrived on the 10th.
1t is feared that the Americans may
restore the Philippines to Hpain and
thus reinaugurate a fresh period of
tyranny, extortion and rebellion. The
Spanish guarantees for freedom of
press and for just adrnI@-Etration are
useless under foreign supervision.
The Americans found SS00.000 in the
Spanish Treasury.
Foreign opinion is loud in praise of
the action of the American command
ers in excluding armed rebels from the
city. There is good reason to believe
that their firmness saved Manila from
pillage.

possibility of collision with the rebels,

A writer in the New York Sun

A writer in the New York Sun gives
whathe believes to be the true theory
of tlie origin of Welsh rabbits. He
says: my notion is that melted
cheese, properly seasoned and poured
on toast, is called Welsh rabbit, be-
cause in Wales, where the people have
cheese in plenty and wild rabbits are
rigidly protected under the game laws,
the Welsh bon vivant substitutes his
homely dish for the four-legged game
animal. In like manner, you know,
some of our New England friends
facetiously call salt Goldfish and her
ring Cape Cod turkey" The writer
''rejects with soorn" that rabbit
used in this connection has been
evolved gradually from ''rsre-bit."

Raids hy wild Horses.

In the Arizona papers of late there
have been frequent complaints of
serious injury, both to crops and to
pastures, caused by the raids of wild
horses. Something like 10000 of
these creatures, it is estimated, are
now roaming the plains of that terri
tory, and they have become serious
nuisances. There is some cause for
surprise in the fact that at this late
day, even in Arizona, an animal alien
to the country can resume the habits
of his almost unmeasurably remote
ancestors, and can multiply rapidly
without care or protection of any
kind. The horse in domestioation is a
rather delicate creature, subject to
many ills, and often hard to keep in
health, though watched with close
attention and allowed to want for
nothing whatever. When forced to
rely on his own resources however,
he shows a marked capacity for re-
suming the wild state and for guard
ing himself against enemies of all
sorts. Ever since the days of the
Spanish explorers the horse at every
opportunity has demonstrated his lik-
ing for freedom and his adaptability
for meeting without aid the condi-
tions of life in the West and South.

A subject that would stand more
discussion than it gets is free delivery
by the Postoffice Department in rural
districts, observes Harper's Weekly.
1t is not impracticable, and the chief
questions about it are whether the farm
ers want it and whether it would be
worth what it would cost. There would
be some economics in it resulting from
the diminution of fourth class post
offices, and some gains i'll revenue
from an increased postal business, In
thousands of districts it would pay
very well. The $40, 900, 900 or SO that
might be saved by some wholesale
amendments to the law which governs

the deficit on a good deal OF rural free
delivery.

The report recently submitted to the
Secretary of the Interior covering the

for the past year contains some inter
esting figures. According to this re-
port the vacant public lands of the
Government aggregate at the present
time the enormous amount of 591 ,343,. =.
953 acres, scattered about over the
States of Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, Idaho,
Utah, California, Colorado. Oregon,
North Dakota and Washington. Each
year the Government disposes of large
tracts of land to private individuals
and railway corporations, but on &C.
count of the vast area of territory GOV.
cred by the Governments unoccupied

before this area is exhausted. As the
sterile and uninviting character of
. some of the land renders it unfit for

likely that purchasers will not be
found to relieve the Government OF
this part of it's domain. Still the pro.

yet be reclaimed to fertility and Guilt
