practice since the opening of the Spanish
war.
The proposed expedition will be orga nizad
at New York city, and will consist of three
regiments of infantry OF the regular army.
distributed between two or three of the
largest converted transports owned by the
government.
The Navy Department Will probably be
called upon for one or more warships for
use IN conveying the military transports
from New York us far as Gibraltar. 1t Is
also probable that one or more Of the yes
seis Of Admiral Dewey's fleet Will meet the
expedition at Singapore and escort il TO its
destination at Manila. Stops viii probably
be made on the voyage for coal and pro-
visions at Gibraltar. Port Said Aden CO.
lomho and Singapore. Every provision viii
be made for the care and comfort of the
troops on their long voyage.
The distance over the proposed route
from New York to Manila is about IL Coz
nautical miles. while the distance from San
Francisco to Manila by way Of Honolulu is
about uo0 nautica- miles. 1t is estimated
that the journey by way IF the Pacific
ocean can be made in about a weeks time
less than by the other route, but there are
said TO be compensatIng advantages which
nave induced the officials of the War De-
partment TO consider favorably the expert
ment of the Suez route. As stated in tho
president message to Congress II is the
policy OF the government to bring home an
