DIFFICULTY OF
FINDING ENOUGH
TROOP SHIPS
Fears Expressed that Sufficient Vessels
Cannot be Found to Garry the
Troops from San Francisco.

CHICAGO, August "A special from
San Francisco says:
There will be no more expeditionaiy
troops sent to San Francisco en- route to
the Philippines. Ii General Merritt de-
mands more troops than the 5000 al
ready here they will be sent from the
Atlantic coast via the Mediterranean sea
and the Suez canal.
General Merriam has made strenuous
efforts to engage the transports neces-
sary for the soldiers now here and he
may be compelled to send some of these
by the eastern route. The supply OF
vessels on the Pacific coast IS about ex-
hausted and the condition of affairs has
been brought to the attention of the
California delegation in congress and
should the government be compelled to
send troops by the Suez canal, the fact
will be played as a trump card in favor
of the Nicaragua canal when the ques-
tion comes up for settlement in the next
congress.

Canadian SeaIers Will Take Advantage
of the Absence of Revenue Cutters

UNALAsKA, July %, via Victoria, B.
c., August 4.-Well-founded rumors are
in circulation that concerted attempt
will be made next month by feet of
Canadian sailora to raid the rookeries on
the islands of st. Paul and ST. George.
There is but one government vessel, the
gunboat Wheeling, to guard Behring

partment has ordered her to visit the
various fish canneries along the Alaska
coast and zee that the fishing laws are
not violated.

where the larger portion of the sealing
feet rendezvous beforcthe season opens
are over a score of vessels, and it seems
to be an open secret that in the event of
the animals being scarce in the present
zone allowed for sealing purposes, the
captains contemplate raiding the rocker
les. The absence of revenue cutters,
they declare, seems to imply tacit in
vitation to invade the sea and kill seals
wherever they may be found.
Both St. Paul and ST. George islands

ace this morning, we were all, as you
know, unanimous as to what should be
done with the army. To keep US here,

simply involve the destruction of thous-
ands. There is no possible reason for
not shipping practically the whole COM

But in this division there have been
fifteen hundred cases of malarial fever.

human probability. mean an appalling

that over half of the army, if we are
here during the sickly season, will die.
