SAN FRANCISCO May 10-A detail
Of army and navy officers visited the
Pacific street dock to-day and boarded
the steamship Australia, on which the
Government has secured an option as
a transport to the Philippines. The
steamer is in splendid condition, and
can be pressed into service in short
notice
The steamship City of Sydney arriV-
ed from Panama and way ports before
daybreak, and from the manner in
which she was given quick dispatch by
quarantine and custom house officers,
it is evident that she also has been
chartered to go to Manila, and will be
placed on the berth Immediately. Or
ders have been given to discharge her
as rapidly as possible.
large force of SteVedoreS are at
work on the City of Peking's cargo,
and it will be out of the hold by Wed
nesday night, and the vessel sent TO the
drydock for cleaning.
1t is thought that the Australia and
Picking. and, possibly, the Sydney, with
one collier will leave here no later
than Sunday noon.
Supplies for the Asiatic squadron and
the transports at this city arrived here
to-day.
The steamship Conemaugh has arriv-
ed from New York sixty-nine days out.
She brings a general cargo. An inspec-
ton Of the vessel will be made as soon
as she docks. and it is stated on good
authority that she Will be added to the
transport feet.
THE CITY OF PEKING.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 10.-The
steamer City of Picking will be turned
over TO the Navy Department to-mOr-
row morning. After going on the dry
dock she will be loaded with supplies
for Admiral Dewey's fleet. There will
be stores for the vessels of the Asiatic
squadron and ammunition to take the
place of the powder and shell that did
such good work in Manila harbOr. The
Navy Department is not doing any
thing about coal, however. and the
supposition is that Dewey has all he
wants. 1t is known that there was
large amount of coal stored at Manila,
and this must now be in Dewey's
hands.
So far no provision has been made
to transport troops on the Picking. At
the navy pay office it is given out that
the navy is fitting her up as a supply
ship and is doing nothing for the ac-
commodation of troops on board.
though it is expected that before She
sails the army officials will arrange for
the transportation on her of portion
of the force assembled here.

all cavalry.
tGarcia's force in Santiago de Cuba
is all infantry. In the reorganization
they will be compelled to remain infan-
try. They are drilled as such. and never
having had horses. are accustomed TO
make long marches on foot. Gomez
wants to unite Garcia's forces with
his own. The old man ever makes
his plans known when he can help 1t.
Any information, however. comes from
the inside. Gomez regards artillery as
very important, but the Cubans have
none They have the greatest contempt
for the Spanish artillerymen, and as
sert that not Cuban has been injured
in the entire war by the Spanish field
pieces.
The question of food and supplies
is an important one to be considered IN
any plan contemplating the Utilization
of the Cuban forces against B1anco.
Cuban army of any strength cannot
be modified until after food for 1t has
been furnished by the United states.
Gomez figures the supply proposition
on the following basis: Two rations a
dav of beans and bacon and hard tack.
They don't count upon bread and COT
fee For bread they can substitute such
potatoes as may be secured by forage.
The Cuban soldier expects only two
meals q day.
Gomez is a willy old man. not with
out future political aspirations which
will be formed at the close of the war.
He does not want the United States
to land an army in Cuba, except it be
! a regiment of artillery to operate III
conjunction with him. Gomez knows
that an American army will defeat
Blanco. take Havana and practically
end the war within month after II
lands on Cuban soil. He also knows
that the assistance he could afford IN
such a campaign would be unlnportant
and insignificant, except as an ADVISOR
to the commanders. He realizes that
the insurgents would cut but sorry
figure in the rapid operations sure TO
follow an American invasion. unless a
month passes while they are DelnS
armed and drilled into military habits
other than those of guerrillas. Know
ing all this, Gomez does not want to De
robbed Of the credit of defeating Spain
and ending the war On the other
hand, if he can persuade the Admins
tration at Washington that it is dan
gerous to land United States troops IN
Cuba during the summer, and that lie
/ can defeat Blanco If provided with
arms, ammunition and provisions, the
future is bright, with an augmented
reputation for him. As victorious
General Gomez may ask and obtain any
honor that free Cuba has to bestoW.
Somerford brings news that few
days ago Blanco telegraphed the Span
ish garrison at Caibarien that the
Spanish fleet in the Philippines had won
a victory The officers prepared to give
a grand ball in honor of the victory.
The ball had scarcely begun when a

TWO MORE CAPTIVES.
One a Spanish and the Other {
Norwegian Vessel.

KEY WEST F'la), May 10-(9:J0 a.
m.)-The Spanish fishing schooner Fer
nandito and the Norwegian steamer
Bratzberg are the only new vessels in
the harbor this morning. The Spanish
boat was captured by the gunboat
VieksburG yesterday morning while
trying to make Havana harbor on her
way from Yucatan. She has crew of
six men.
The Bratzberg is a cattle steamer,
and left here a few days ago. She was
acting suspiciously, and was apparent
ly attempting to run the blockade into
Havana when she was stopped and
turned back The Mangrove conveyed
her TO this port in company with the
Fernandito, which had a prize crew
aboard, arriving early this morning.
The affair bears many features of
resemblance to that of the French
steamer Lafayette. but like that case,
it will be settled without any interna-
tional complication.
About two weeks ago the Bratzberg,
bound from Progresso Mexico, for Ha-
vana. with 800 head of cattle, was
warned off the Cuban coast by the
blockading fleet. She put into the port
and remained a couple of days, when
she sailed, ostensibly for New York to
find market for the cattle. She was
piloted out of this harbor April 9th,
and was not seen again until yester-
day morning, when the gunhoat New
port sighted her about twenty five
miles off Havana. Captain Tilley knew
she had once been warned out, and OBJ
serving that she was floating easily,
and with cattle pens apparently empty,
he hailed and boarded her. Captain
Thorson stoutly denied that he was
attempting to slip past the blockade,
but he could not satisfactorily explain
the disposition of his cargo and was
sent to the Mangrove's escort.
There is a great deal of sorrow over
the illness of Chaplain Chadwick, for
merly of the battleship Maine and now
on the cruiser Cincinnati. He is con-
fined to the Marine Hospital with an
attack of erysipelas, but his condition
is not a all serious.
The Mangrove reported that all was
quiet about Havana when she left that
harbor.
The Cuban blockade causes only ours
DRY interest here now. Everybody IS
waiting for news from Rear Admiral
Sampson.
