Made Good His Threat

SAN FRANCISCO, June 15.-This morn
ing Coroner Hawkins received a letter
written on Palace Hotel stationery and
signed by w. D. Humiston, in which the
writer expressed his determination to take
laudanum and inclosed SIS which he de-
sired to be used to pay for the cremation of
his body. A coroners deputy went to
Humiston's room and found that he had
made good his threat to take the drug, but
that he was not dead. He was removed to
hospital and it is supposed that his life
will be saved.
From papers found in his room, 1t would
appear that Humiston came from the East
but is more recently from Stockton. He is
supposed to be newspaper man and ap-
pears to be about 81 years of age.

WASHINGTON WAR NEWS
Latest From the Capital as to the
Movements Now on Foot

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Like the relief
of the beleaguered at Lucknow came the
welcome news to the navy department this
afternoon that the little band of marines
who had planted the flag on Crest hill and
were defending it night and day against
heavy odds were not only safe, but were
strongly reinforced by 1900 Cubans from the
commands of Garcia and Rabi and were now
strong enough to more than hold their own.
1t was disclosed in a dispatch from Ad-
miral Sampson, and brought much relief to
naval officials. The early reports had in
dicated that the marines were surrounded
and 1t was feared that they might be COM
PEELED to return to the ships before General
Skaters invading army reached there on
Friday. The coming of the Cuban forces
seems to have been in the nick of time, and
naval officers give the fullest credit to the
timeliness of this Cuban cooperation. The
admiral's dispatch stated that the condition
of the marines was entirely satisfactory,
which assurance, although brief. was

GUARDING TRANSPORTS
THIRD EXPEDITION TO MANILA
EXPECTED TO START SOON
Regiments Are Ready and Anxious to
Go-Plenty of Supplies on Hand.
Gen. King Will Command

SAN FRANCISCO. June 15-No definite
date can be named at present for the sail
ing of the third expedition to the Philip
pines. Preparations will be pushed for
ward rapidly
Thus far the steamers chartered for the
next expedition are the Indiana, Ohio, Nor
gan City, City of Para and three Northern
Pacific steamers now at Seattle or en- route
hither. June % has been mentioned pro-
visionally as the date of sailing. 1t required
twenty-six days to prepare for sailing the
four vessels which went out today, but the
long delay was caused by the non-arrival
of supplies. There are hundreds of car
LOADS o. supplies here now ands SO IT. Will
hardly take so great a length of time to
prepare the third fleet Tor service.
Much interest is manifested by the troops
stationed at Camp Merritt regarding what
organizations are to form the third expe-
dition.
1t is the general understanding that the
expedition will be in command of Brigadier-
General King but just what troops will be
assigned to him has not been announced.
The opinion of the officers in camp is that
the expedition will be composed of the
Idaho battalons, the Thirteenth Minneso-
ia, the Twentieth Kansas, the First Mon
tana and the Seventh California regiments.
These troops are now equipped and could
leave in a short time.
Major General Otis this afternoon issued
an order directing that details of men be
sent to guard the transports in the bay, as
follows:
From the Minnesota regiment to guard
the City of Para.
From the Idaho battalion to guard the
Morgan City and the Ohio.
