Frisco, He bought him for s65. and as soon
as~he learned that the horse could not be
taken to Manila he offered him for sale, and
found a purchaser who paid him $1OO for the
animal.
All the other officers will have to dispose Of

Will be considerable. it is probable that others

they may not have similar luck
When the regiment arrives at Manila the
officers Will purchase native animals, though
1t is reported that they are small ponies, and
not of much service in fight.
There is some doubt as to what tie
cayalrymen will do If their horses die befo.e
they get into action. If they are deprived OF
their horses and native horses are scarce they
may have to become infantrymen.

now in communication with Washing
ton on the subject and hopes to receive
word within few hours that additional
forces have been granted him and have
been started on the way. Gen. Merritt
contemplates leaving San Francisco for
Manila two weeks from today, and is
desirious that his eXpeditionary forces
shall precede him to the Philippines.
With the troops that arrived yesterday
and today, he has a force of about 49,
00O. it is said that during the past forty
eight hours the governor general has
been in communication with the war
department and has finally demanded
that the full quota of 10000 specified by
him be filled.
The steamer Centennial, VIII CHI was
rejected by the governme 1t, will be re-
inspected, as her owners insist she is
thoroughly seawcrthy despite state
ments to the contrary.
The Zeelandia, Colon and China are
being loaded with supplies and are eX-
pected to be ready for departure early
next week.
The Senator and Morgan City are be-
ing fitted up for the troops, and both
these vessels will be ready by the end
of next week. They were built for the
klondike trade and have a large carry
ing capacity, and few days work will
put them in shape as transports.
The third fleet will probably comprise
the Senator, Morgan City, Ohio and the
Centennial, if the latter is accepted aft
er reinSpectiOn.
The work OF organizing the engineer
and signal corps for Manila, is pro-
ceeding slowly, as not enough men can
be found. So far only twenty-seven
have been enlisted. Fifty men are
wartod in each corps. and as California
cannot supply them, Maj. Thompson
has telegraphed East and asked fT
volunteers. This branch of the service
is better paid than any other.

SAVED A CALAMITY.
The Heroic Act OF Two Soldiers at
Tampa.

TAMPA, Fla, June n.-By an act OF
heroism Lieut.. Parker, who is in charge
of the old clubhouse on Lafayette
street, which is being used by the gov
ernment as storehouse, and Thomas
MCGEE, a veteran of the Civil war pre-
vented what might have been a calam-
ity. These men picked up box of
ammunition which had caught fire, and,
needless of the danger, carried it to the
river some distance away, and threw it
into the water.
While force Of soldiers was engaged
in carrying boxes of ammunition from
the warehouse and loading them to
waiting army wagons, smoke was seen
issuing from box Of ammunition. In
an instant the cry Of fire went up, and
soldiers and negro roustabouts piled
over each other in their scramble for
safety.
MCGEE rushed toward the box, picked
it up, and was staggering toward the
| water with it alone when Lieut.. Par
ker, who had heard the warning cry,
came to his assistance and helped him
put the smoking box in the river, The
box was recovered when the tide went
out, and was found to be considerably
charred.
How the fire originated is a mystery.
In the storehouses were piled hundreds
of boxes of ammunition, each contain
ing 1000 cartridges. Had the cart
ridges in the burning box exploded, a
great loss Of life might have resulted.

American Horses Cannot Live in the
Philippines.

Staff Correspondence The st. Paul Globe.
SAN FRANCISCO, June THE discovery
that American horses cannot live in the Phil
ippine islands sent chill Of disappointment
through the officers Of the Thirteenth regi-
ment, who brought horses with them from
st. Paul. They had counted upon riding their
favorite steeds into battle and they had
dreamed of the terrific charge they would
make against the Spanish hosts. Col. Reeve
was as greatly disappointed as any oficer
for his horse is the most tractable in the regi-
1nent and is the only one that does not dance
and frolic on dress parade. He hoped 10
ride him through the streets of Manila.
Lieut.. Col. Ames is very fond of his horse
and he hates to part with him.
Maj. Beams horse is his pride. He is a
handsome, black fellow. and when astride Of
him the major reminds one of Napoleon
The horse feels the dignity Of his position at
the head Of the first battalion, and holds his
head up proud and erect on parade
Maj. Diggles has horse that is a wonder.
The major bought him in Wyoming, and the
first thing he did in San Francisco was DO
stand on his hind legs when the MOTOR rode
him. His next exploit was to threw Chap
