back here for a fortnight The Umatilla sister ship to the Walla Walla, will be due to-day from the Sound and she may be taken, but if there is any intention of pressing her into the service Goodall, Per kins 6S Co. have not heard of it. The Acapulco could be got ready in time to but whether she will be one of the fleet or not seems to be still in doubt.
 The Pennsylvania should arrive to-day or tomorrow, but she has her cargo of machinery to discharge, and all in all matters among the transports are pro- gressing slowly. The City of Puebla has on the drydock to-day. The Peru Is well on toward completion and it now begins to look as though the Government would send those two vessels away together able steamers. Certain it Is that they will be ready to sail before any other vessels can be got ready; The Peru and Pueola are both fifteen knot steamers and they could make very quick time to Manila. In fact if they went down full speed they would not be far behind the Ohio, 1n- diana,s Morgan City, City of Para, Valen- cia and Newport when the Philippines were reached
 The chances are that the Alaska Pack CTS A sociation's fine ship Tacoma will be chartered by the Government. Negoti- ations are now pending and if she is char tered she will go to Puget sound to load coal for Manila. She is a fast vessel and can carry ovV0 tons of coal.
 There is some talk of the Government taking the big steamer Willamette, She has cabin accommodations for forty-two officers and, with the Turner patent bunk the vessel could easily be fitted out to carry 1000 soldiers. When in good trim she can easily make eleven knots, and that is a greater speed than Uncle Sam has demanded from the other transports. With the Willamette a fleet composed of the Walla Walla, Pennsylvania, Aca- pulco and City of Rio de Janeiro, could be got ready to leave a week after the sailing of the Puebla and Peru.

FOURTH BRIGADE ORDERS
Stringent Regulations Pre- scribed by Brigadier General
 Otis Have Been Modified

Brigadier General Otis has found it ne- cessary to materially modify the strin- gent orders regulating visitors to the Fourth Brigade that issued from head quarters on Wednesday.
 It was discovered that the original or ders, as published in The Call of yester- day, could not be successfully enforced The commanding officers of the different regiments did not for a moment question General Otis order. but they were obliged to listen to scores of complaints from their men. and these complaints were duly reported
 As result the order following was is- sued yesterday. It is not a resembling or der in any respect, but supplementary:
 II Is the intention of the brigade commander to grant such reasonable camp privileges to the men under his command may not be Incompatible with military discipline.

 We are now busiIy engaged n preparing two light batteries, and I am expecting addl- tional call for troops at distant date. A trip across the from San Francisco to Manila under favorable circumstances would be most enjoyable, but I confess that I sym pathize with the boys as I contemplate trip in transports, where. at the best the ac- commodations will be very poor.
 Remember me kindly to those of your official household and all others to whom it may be convenient to speak. Yours sincerely.

It is the intention of Gen eral Otis to get all the troops at Camp Merritt away on the next two expeditions if the necessary number of transports can be secured. Should this plan fail then the forces will be sent In smaller attachments just as rapidly as vessels for their transportation can be secured

Tremendous Sens ton in Sixth Massachusetts.
Friction Between Line Officers ofReg-

Boston, Mass, August IA special
cahIegram to the Journal from Ponce,

"A tremendous sensation has occurred
in the Sixth Massachusetts regiment,
which is in General Garretson's brigade.
The friction between the line officers of
the regiment and the officers of the
brigade. which has been growing ever
since the command left Cuba, reached its
climax Monday when Colonel Woodland,
Lieutenant Colonel Chaifin, Ma or Tay-
lor, Chaplain Dousseault, and Captain
Goodell. of Company *, resigned their
commissions
THE exact reason which prompted
them to take this action is not at present
known. The cause must have been seri-
Gus indeed.
1.-The designations leave Major Charles
*. Darling in command of the regiment.
THE matter has been fully reported
to General Miles. and Il rigid investiga-
ton has been ordered. BY military law
to resign in face of the enemy means Il
court martial"

FUNERAL OF BISMARCK
A BRILLIANT AND IMPRESSIVE BUT DISAP-
POINTING CEREMONIAL.
Not Single Member of the Bismarck Family
Present>-Pubic Showed no Enthusi-
asm in the Service

Berlin, August 1.-The funeral SER
vices held here to-day in memory Of
Prince Bismarck, were of the most inn
prcssiyc character. They were attended
by the Emperor and Empress of Ger
many, the various German Princes and
princcsScs, all the members Of the diplo-
matte corps. and the chief military and
civil dgnitaricS guard of honor was
placed in front of the Emperor William
Memorial church, where the services
took place.
The exercises were opened and CON
Guided by choral sung by the chorus
from the Opera House. The officiating
clergyman, in the course of his prayers.
alluded to the great services which the
deceased Chancellor had performed for
the welfare of his country.
The ceremony was brilliant and inn
prcssivc as regards court display, but
quite disappointing i'll other respects. 1t
bore traces Of haste and half hearted
ness. The church was inadequatcly
decorated and the public displayed no
enthusiasm in the ceremonial.
Perhaps the most disappointing fea-
ture. though it was known beforehand,
was the fact that not Il single member
of the Bismarck family attended. The
royal pew, set apart for their accommo-
dation remained conspicuously and sig
niiicantly empty.
The bitterness of the old Chancellor
toward the young Kaiser seems to have
reached beyond death.

BEET AND CANE SUGAR.
Practically Al the Mills of the South
and West Exempt From the Tax.

Washington, D. c., August 4.-The
Commissioner of Internal Revenue to-
day rendered decision i'll which he
holds in effect, that persons engaged in
manufacturing sugar from cane or beets
and who do not buy and refine sugars,
are not subject to the tax imposed by
the new war revenue act.
The contention Of the commissioner is
that the law applies only to persons en-
gagged in refining raw sugars, distinguish
ed from those who produce the raw or
unrefined sugars from cane or beets. I'm
der this ruling practically all of the beet
sugar mills Of the West. and the cane
mills of the South are exempt from the
tax who are held not to be refners with
in the meaning of the law. OF this latter
class there are said to be over 700 in
the State of Louisiana alone. The de-
cision was rendered upon the application
of the Oxnard Beet Sugar Company
who asked for ruling upon this point.
