MORE TRANSPORTS.

Important Question Occupying As
sistnnt Secretary M~eilklejohn's
Time.
Washington, May 25.-Assistant Sec
rotary Meiklejohn, Of the war depart
ment, was yesterday engaged in nego-
tiating for several additional transports
for the troops that are to be sent to
Manila. He expects to conclude these
negotiations promptly and work will
then be begun on them 10 that they
may be put in prompt condition for
transport purposes. The advices re-
ceived by the assistant secretary from
San Francisco indicated that three Of
the transports, the City of Sydney, the
City of Peking and the Australia,
would start on their long journey late
tonight or tomorrow. Notwithstand-
ing the long delay in getting these
ships away the officials here say it
could not be avoided as there were
many alterations which had to be made
in them necessary to the comfort and
health Of the crew. No suffers are to
be permitted to accompany the army
during the war. Assistant Secretary
Meiklejohn made this announcement
after a thorough consultation with the
army officials who are acquainted with
the operations of the commissarles de-
partment.
