 An ex-cavalry officer, Captain J. N
 Flint, residing in this city, who served directly under Sheridan from the Rapidan to AppomattoX Courthouse and saw him every day in the saddle for two years, has this to say of his old chief: Merritt was one of Sheridan's most trusted lieu tenants. He could be relied on in any energency In battle he was conspicuous for coolness and intrepidity He never lost his head. At the decisive battle of Five Forks Sheridan's cavalry, with the help of the Fifth Infantry corps, was called upon to disodge the Confederates from some strongly constructed entrench- ments The task was by no means an easy one. Merritt fought his division for all 1t was worth.

SECOND MANILA DETAIL.
It Is Expected That It Will Sail From San Francisco Inside
 of Three Weeks

General Otis, who has had charge of the dispatching of the first expedition to Manila, will to-day move his headquarters from the Phelan building to Camp Rich mond where tents were erected yesterday in the southwest corner of the grounds for the accommodation of himself and staff. He will go to Manila with the second ex- petition, which it is expected will sail from San Francisco inside of three weeks. How many or what troops this expedition will consist of is not yet known definitely. This matter will be decided by Major Gen eral Merritt, governor general of the Phil ippines. who arrived in San Francisco last evening and registered at the Palace Hotel. All future movements of the Phil ippine expedition will be subject to the orders of General Merritt. who will act Colonel James w.

They fought together in Yesterday was the first time they had met since that historic engagement, but friendship was soon reAstablshed.
 At Newcastle another patriotic crowd was met. The people, eager to get glimpse of the man Tn whose hands such a great responsibility rests, swarmed into and around the car and heaped fruits and flowers within it. General Merritt, In answer to repeated appeals, went to the platform and thanked the enthusiasts for their patriotism and their generosity. We will put all these good things to as good use as you have contemplated" he said in conclusion, and retired within his car. At Sacramento. and, in fact, all along the line until the Oakland mole was reached, he was met in the same enthu- siastic way, and always in some way manifested his appreciation.
 Arriving in this city the general was met by a party of officers, prominent among them Colonel Pope, and was driven to the Palace Hotel. Until his de- parture he will probably make the Palace his headquarters, and there will receive his orders on which the campaign for the occupation of the Philippines will be built.
 Major-General Wesley Merritt has probably seen more active service than any other surviving officer of the Civil War. Besides taking a prominent part in all the great battles fought by the army of the Potomac, he was a leading figure in every cavalry fight under Buford, Pleasanton and Sheridan-over seventy in all. He was born in New York in 1886, graduated at West Point in 1860, taking high rank for scholarship. He was com mssioned brevet second lieutenant of dragoons, and in 1862 was made captain of the Second United States Cavalry.

A Rush Contract Accepted by the Tubbs Cordage Com pany.

Uncle Sam's representatives were treat ed to a surprise by the Tubbs Cordage Company yesterday. Three manila twelve inch haWsers 200 fathoms long were re- uuired for the warship Monterey, and Admiral Kirkland was of the opinion that it would take five or six days in which to make them. When the matter was laid before the cordage company and the manager was asked to specify a time for the delivery of the hawsers, he took a few minutes to consider and then agreed to deliver all three of them in forty eight hours. In order to do this the works will have to run night and day, and every man will have to do his best, but the management Is perfectly confident that the works will sustain their character for rromptitude and good workmanship.
 to be used and only the market rate for such rope will be charged. The turning out of this 3600 feet of twelveinch man fla hawser in forty-eight hours will be the quickest job ever done on the Pacific Coast and there have been few to beat it in the United States.
 The making of these hawsers settles all doubt as to the manner in which the Mon terey is to reach Manila. She will go to Honolulu under her own steam, and after coaling there will proceed to Manila behind her manila hawsers. Her supply of coal will be husbanded so that she can cast off her tow lines at a moments no- tice and shift for herself should an enemy heave in sight.
