FOURTH EXPEDITION SAILS.
Major General Otis Left San Francis
co Yesterday Afternoon With
Two TransnOrts

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15-Shortly after
3 O'Clock this afternoon Major General Otis
from his flagship, the City of Puebla, sig
nailed the transport Peru to get under way
The signals were understood by the anX-
ious watchers on shore and by those who
had surrounded the two vessels in small
boats, and were received with great cheer
ing.
AS the two vessels got under way the
cheering increased in volume and, to the
accompaniment of hundreds of steam whis-
ties and the firing of bombs and cannon
the two vessels proceeded slowly down the
bay. past the water front and out TO sea.
The vessels had some difficulty making
their way through the maze of small boats
which constantly interfered with their pas
sage until they attained such speed that
nothing but the powerful tugboats loaded
with friends and relatives of the soldiers
could keep pace with them.
The soldiers on the transports crowded
into the rigging and answered the cheer
ing of the civilians with hearty good will
and responded to the dipping flags of the
merchant vessels by waving their hats and
handkerchiefs.
AS the two vessels and the small fleet ac-
companying it passed the forts, the big
guns from the batteries sent forth their
thunder in salute. to which the transports
responded with their steam sirens.
Long before dusk the last good-bys had
been said to the departing vessels from
| the decks of the tusboats. and the heavily
laden transports proceeded on their way
to Honolulu, where they will stop to par
| ticipate in the annexation ceremonies, and
| to take in fresh provisions and refill their
coal bunkers.
| Major General Otis and staff have their
headquarters on the City of Puebla.
The last orders of General Otis before
| leaving were that the remaining transports
| should sail as soon as possible irrespec-
| tive of fleets CT other expected vessels
| Each one, he said. should go by itself if
necessary. Surprisingly quick work has
| been done on the Pennsylvania and City of
| Rio de Janeiro. Both are nearly ready,
| and will probably be prepared to sail by
| next Thursday.
Brigadier General II. G. Otis has finally
! been selected to command the fifth expe-
| dition to Manila. His fleet will consist of
| the steamers Rio de Janeiro, st. Paul and
| Pennsylvania.

are out on a strike at these two houses.
and at Cudahy's 900 men are either on
a strike or laid off in consequence. No con-
ference has been held between the men and
the packers. and so there is no telling what
may be done toward a settlement. At the
meeting of the laborers tonight. charter

produced and the men were organized into
a local union. 1t was also announced that
all the butchers would strike in sympathy
