The two battalions were mustered into
service this morning and are now sta

battalion went into camp near Fort

with army clothing is progressing as

steamers Ohio and Conemaugh In an
ticipation of their charter by the gov
eminent. The vessels are owned by the
International Steamship company or
Philadelphia and negotiations for their
charter are proceeding In the East.
Nothing can be learned as to the inten-
lions OF the government. whether the
vessels will be used for transporting
men or supplies for the fleet at Manila.
TIL City of Picking went into the dry
dock this evening and will be thorough
ly scraped before tomorrow afternoon
when she will be ready to take on sup
plies at Mare island. The City OF sgd
