The Transport Hudson Leaves Newport
News with Stores and Troops.
NEwPoRT NEWS. Va. Aug. 4.-The United
States transport ship Hudson. which has been
in port for several days loading stores and
ammunition for Porto Rico. sailed this morn
ing for that place. The Hudson took in addi-
ton to q large quantity Of subsistence one and
o half battalions Of troops from the First Regi-
ment. Kentucky Volunteers. The remainder
Of this regiment is now under the m Of
Col. Castleman. and has been moved from the
camp into the city limit and Is now encamped
In the city park on the river bank. These men
are waiting for the Manitoba. The work OF
loading the Manitoba is being pushed night
and day.
1t is understood that a smaller quantity OF
stores will be placed on this vessel than was in
tended a. first. and 1t Is probable that the ship
will leave for Porto Rico earlier than Saturday.
the day fixed for her departure.
There are now twenty-one trains loaded with
troops. until recently encamped at Chicka-
manga. on the way to Newport News to embark
for the South. The first train Is expected to
arrive tonight and will be followed by others
at regular intervals. These soldiers belong to
thee Fifth Illinois which was detached from
Gen. Grants brigade and the Sixteenth Indi-
ana substituted In It's place. Thu Illinois
troops made preparations to move three times
and were recalled each time. When ordered
back to camp the last time they had loaded all
OF their effects. and the order 30 incensed the
| men that 1t is said they broke up their arms
and became 80 unmanageable that their off,
GERS threatened to resign.
Major Muhlenberg has been busy paying off

their homes. The three tons OF United States
mail which has been sent to the city Post Ofioe
from Washington to the military postal station

TO SAIL FOR HAWAII TOMORROW.
Unpleasant Prospect for Five Companies Of

Unpleasant Prospect for Five Companies OF
the First New York Volunteers.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. Alive companies Of
the First New York Volunteers will embark on
the steamer Charles Nelson for Honolulu early
tomorrow. About the same time a party Of
the Battalion Of Engineers will board the steam
schooner Lakme. and both vessels will prob
ably sail early on Saturday morning for the
Hawaiian Islands.
The prospects Of the men who comprise this
expedition for an enjoyable voyage are not Of
the brightest. The Charles Nelson is a dirty
looking coaster. smelling Of oil and bilge water.
with close. stuffy quarters for the officers. to
say nothing Of those Of the men below decks.
The Lakme is even dirtier and more Ill smelling
than the Nelson.
The chartering OF these vessels by Major
Gen. Otis has caused much adverse comment
here. The vessels belong to the so-called john
son-Locke Company of this city. which con-
tracted to take 1900 men to Honolulu at $35 a
head. the money to be paid three days after
their departure from San Francisco. The COM
pany agreed to have half the men away before
Aug. 1 and the rest by Aug. 10. In this partic-
ular the contract has been violated. as not q
single soldier has embarked on a Johnson
Locke vessel to date.
The engineers going on the Lakme are to
make surveys OF 1.-THE Hawaiian coast and prepare
maps to assist In planning future Notifications
calculated to make Honolulu the American
Gibraltar Of the Pacific.

TAMPA. Fla, Aug. 4.-Seven troopships are
now In quarantine Off Egmont Key. the
entrance OF Tampa Bay. serving their time
provided by the quarantine regulations before
being allowed to proceed to this city. Six Of
the transports were ordered here to carry the
Porto Rico expedition under Gen. Coppinger.
while the seventh has been ordered to New
York. The ships in quarantine are the Comal,
Santiago. Yucatan. Clinton. Rita. Allegheny.
and San Marcos. The latter has been
ordered north. The Yucatan has been
designated as the flagship. and on her Gen.
Coppinger and his staff will sail for Porto Rico.
unless conference.-the orders are received
before she Is allowed to leave the quarantine
station. The General is fearful that something
will occur within the next few days to prevent
his going. and arrangements have been made
to have q speedy loading Of transports when
they arrive at Port Tampa. Sunday has been
set as the day of embarkation and the flagship
will be the first loaded and will probably be re-
leased from quarantine tomorrow.
The order changing the movement Of troops
which had been ordered to Fernandina to Mon
tauk Point. Long Island. failed to name the
Second Regular Cavalry as one Of the regiments
to be sent north. and the consequence was that
this regiment went to Fernandina as was pre-
viously ordered. and will have to be sent on from
that place. All Of the troops now at Fernan-
dina, regulars and volunteers. will be sent to
Long Island, but the movement from that
place, according to Gen. Coppinger's advices.
will not begin until about the middle Of the
month.
The steamship Mascotte arrived In Port
Tampa tonight and brought among other
passengers nineteen of the soldiers injured at
a IA Tl T. H.
hospital at Key West. TIL men are nearly all
recovered, but have q months leave OF alb
sence. which many Of them will spend at their
homes. One OF the men belonging to the Sixth
Infantry was shot in the head. the bullet cut

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-As a result Of the
growing interests Of the United States In the
Pacific. the Government has decided to estab-
lish a coalinR station In Samoa for the use Of
American war vessels. An order was issued by
the Navy Department. to-day detaching Civil En-
glneer f. Z. Chambers from duty In the Brook
Ign Navy Yard and assigning him to duty In the
Bureau OF Yards and Docks, Washington, In
connection with the establishment OF a coaling
station at Page Page. This was the first init
nation to many naval officers that the Admin
~istration had determined to take advantage Of
the concession secured in Pago Page years ago
for use as a coaling depot. The matter has not
been mooted for some time. and many OF those
Interested in 1t had almost forgotten that the
United States had the right to occupy Pago
PaRo for that purpose.
When Pago Page was acquired by this Gov
eminent. the Samoan troubles made it advis-
able for it to use the place as a coaling station.
Great Britain. Germany and the United States.
the nations that exercised the tripartite pro-
t~ectorate over Samoa. had sent war vessels
there, and at the time OF the great Apia hurri-
cane in 1889 the friction between these was so
great that trouble seemed to be imminent.
Soon after acquiring Pago Page. the United
States erected coal sheds there and sent down
a large quantity Of coal. but under the second
Cleveland Administration. when Samoa was
practically abandoned by the Government.
the station was neglected. the sheds were de-
stroyed by high winds. and the coal was taken
by anybody who wanted it. The present
Administration Is making arrangements
to retrieve all that was lost by the neglect and
indifference Of its predecessor. Plans are being
prepared In the Bureau Of Yards and Docks for
the erection Of fine. strong sheds, q good pier.
and apparatus for handling coal, Civil En-
gineer Chambers will have charge Of this work,
and will probably go to Samoa to superintend
the erection Of the pier. buildings. and APP
paratus. The sheds will hold about 5000 tons
OF coal, and that amount will be shipped to Page
PaRo as soon as possible. 1t was said to-day at
the Navy Department that the Germans had
been active in Samoa recently. This may or
may not have had a share in causing the Ad-
ministration to decide on the establishment Of
the station.

Carrying Out the Contract to the Letter.

Spanish Line Men Protest That They Arc
Carrying Out the Contract to the Letter.
Notwithstanding reports to the contrary. J.
NJ. Ceballos and r. A. c. Smith. who arranged
the deal with Col. Frank J. Hecker. Quarter
master. U. s. A. for transporting to Spain
the officers and men of Gen. Toral's
army on ships OF the Spanish Steam
ship Company. say the company Is
fulfilling to the letter It's contract with
the Government. They say there has been
no delay in sending the ships to Santiago:
that one steamer is already there. that others
will arrive right along. and that everything
will be all right and so on.
At Mr.. Smiths Office it was stated that the
Alicante had already arrived at Santiago from
Martinique. The War Department says the
Alicante sailed from Martinique yesterday.
1t will take about three or four DAYS
for her to reach Santiago and she
is one of the smallest boats of the
line. A representative Of Mr.. Smith stated
that the contract was awarded to the Spanish
line about midnight OF July 20 and that the
Government was Immediately TO furnish safe
conduct to the Alicante from Martinique. The
safe conduct, this man said. was not furnished
until three days later. He said the ship sailed
from Martinique Immediately thereafter. At
least, he said, the home office Of the company
had so informed Mr.. Smith.
The contract calls for the movement of TO-
600 troops on or before Aug. 10 and the rest by
Aug. IT. Failure on the part OF the company
to carry out the contract imposes a forfeiture
OF $250,000. The schedule given ont by the
War Department seems to make a fulhlment
of the contract impracticable. Meantime we
feed and guard the Spaniards.

the future Of Porto Rico must be worked out by
the United States. We think this league Is
