San Francisco, July 1.-The indica-
tons are hat the fourth expedition to

striking one. An effort will be made
to take the bulk of the troops now

mated for the sailing of the fourth

transports.

ing under the Norwegian flag. She is
a large vessel and could probably hold
as many as 1900 troops. If the report
of these officers is favorable, every eff

So much would have to be done, how

she probably could not go IN the next

San Francisco, July 2.-Major Gen.

jor General Merritt is especially anxious
that the LIST New York volunteers should

The troops at the Preside and Lime
Point were called out late on Friday to
fight grass fires. The flames at Lime
point approached dangerously near the
tents N magazines at Fort Baker.
About 500 acres were burned over, but
no serious damage was done.
The difficulty experienced in obtaining
steamships has caused the government
TO seek for sailing vessels which may be
available. Several have been examined,
and ii is understood that the ship Ia
coma will be chartered to carry military
supplies to Manila.

were put to work driving holes in the
gangway through which water was to
be forced upon the flames.
While the mem were building a dam

the gangway caught fire. Nearly a
hundred thousand gallons of water
instantly a terrific explosion occurred,
followed in quick succession by four
lighter explosions of such force that
the gangway was torn up for over 800
feet and the workmen were blown in
all directions. Rescue gangs were put
to work and an hour later 1t was
thought that all the dead and injured
had been found, although the search

is to be slavishly submissive: no man
can respect a woman who is lacking in
self-respect, and every married woman
has her rights. But the best way in
which to secure these rights is not by
doing aggressive battle for them. Let
