 to Go.
 
THE LATTER TO BE USED As
 A HOSPITAL SHIP.

The cloud of disappointment that has been hanging over Camp Merritt was dis pelled yesterday morning by the an snouneement that General Merriam had received a telegram from the Secretary of War authorizing him at once to, send to Manila the transport Arizona with the troops originally designated to go on that steamer This authorization is the result of General Merriam,s suggestion that the incomplete regiments now at Manila should be filled up with. the attachments and recruits belonging to them and yet remaining here. The troops that were announced to go on the Arizona were one battalion of the Eighteenth Infantry, one battalion of the Twenty-third Infantry and recruits for the Pennsylvania, Colo rado, Oregon and Nebraska regiments, and nurses and hospital corpss with quite a number of attached officers, and Brig adler General King and staff, making a total of 1636 for this vessel. It is now proposed, however, to take from th1s as- signment the battalion of the Twenty third Infantry, consisting of 400 men, and the 325 Oregon recruits, and send them on the Scandia, which at the suggestion of General Merriam, is to be used as a hospital ship at Manila, this idea having been approved by the War Department. It has also been decided to nave the Scandia carry 300 of the New York Regi- ment and land them at Honolulu
 The troops assigned to the Arizona Will embark tomorrow, and the steamer will sail Saturday morning. She will be fol- lowed by the. Scandia about the middle of next week The Scandia will carry a large quantity of hospital stores. in addi- ton to a general cargo of provisions:

Mrs. Maria Wren and Her Daughter
 Arrested for Being Insane.

Mrs Maria Wren, 56 Natoma street, and her daughter Mary have been nui- sance to the neighborhood of their home for a long time. Yesterday morning Mary, .who-is is about 30 years of age, followed a daughter of Hugh Donohue, a neighbor. who was wheeling a baby carriage, and threatened to kill her. Donohue com pIained to Captain Spillane, and Mary was arrested for being insane by Ser geant Coogan and Policeman Orr. She was locked up in the insane ward in the Receiving Hospital.
 A few hours later Policeman Moriarity went to the house to arrest the mother on the same charge. She had locked all the doors, and Moriarity had to crawl through a window. She grabbed hold of him as ine was climbing through, and struck him several times on the face be- fore he overpowered her She has been arrested times without number within the last seventeen years for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, and is looked upon by Captain Spillane the most vicious Wo- man he has ever encountered.
 The house occupied by the mother and daughter was in a wretched condition from filth, and their condition when on the street was a perpetual eyesore to the neighbors. Mrs. Wren has a son, a dope fiend" who is now serving time in San Quentin.

THOMAS TO BE. PAID.
Tennesseeans Will Promptly Repair the Property Which
 They Damaged.

The developments in the case of the Tennessee regiment seem to have taken a turn for the better, and such a turn as clearly shows that Colonel Smith and his officers not only deeply regret the unfortunate affair, but are determined to make all amends in their power with out waiting for the tardy wheels of mili- tary justice. Yesterday Colonel Smith sent Lieutenant Fowler into the city for a contractor, who will at the expense of the regiment put Thomas house in just as good and even better condition than it was before it became the object of de- struction at the hands of the soldiers.
 srrThis. of course, will do away with the board of survey, which would have had to have been appointed by General Miller to assess the damages said Colonel Smith "This does not mean that: the of lenders will not be just as severely dealt with. Lieutenant Fowler is conducting the investigation as rapidly as possible, but there are several facts in the case that 1t will require some little diplomacy and time to secure, and as soon as these have been obtained the men concerned will be punished. Privates Davis. Ander- son. Clarke and Scruggs are now in the er,la rf1 house.

onto Hannacratic methods as treach-
erous, malicious, outrageous, con-
temptible and un-Republican.
Then we turn to Editor Pecksniff' S
news columns and we find in Column
bus dispatch the following:
At its sessions Tuesday and Wednesday
nights the Senate committee, appointed
to investigate the charges Of Representa-
tive Otis. of Cincinnati, that he had been
offered 81, 80 by H. H. Boyce to vote for
Hanna, had before it five witnesses, all
cause their attorneys mad advised them
that the committee had no jurisdiction
under the Senate resolution on which it
was proceeding.
In court of justice the side which
would suppress witnesses which could
testify would UNNECESSARILY prejudice
it's case with the jury.
So, in this instance do the Hanna
Gratis immeasurably prejudice their
case with the great jury-the people
by suppressing witnesses and block
ing investigation through the fiimsiest
OF technicalities.
If Hanna is innocent Of these well
defined and explicit charges Of bribery,
he has nothing to fear from an inves-
tigation.
Innocent men wrongly accused usu-
ally court investigation.
