VIA THE SUEZ CANAL
The Necessity For Haste Puts
A Pacific Ocean Expedi-
ton Quite Out Of the
Question.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The next re-
giments to start for Manila will en-
bark at New York about the end OF
this month and 60 through the Suez
canal, unless present plans fail.
The expedition will consist of three
regiments of regular infantry, distrib-
uted between two of the largest con-
verted transports owned by the govern
ment, with perhaps q convoy of two
war ships.
Arrangements are now being made
for this expedition by Gen. Cor
bin.
The decision TO use New York as
the point of embarkstion instead Of
San Francisco was reached after q
careful review of number of con-
siderstions, chief among which was
the urgency for haste. The early
completion Of treaty of peace with
Spain has rendered indispensable the
prompt increase of the American for
ces.
At the present time the government
is wholly without available ship5 in
the Pacific Ocean to meet the emer-
gency.
The following regiments have been
selected to 60 to Manila: Ninth regi-
ment infantry, now at Madison Bar
racks: 18th infantry, at Colum-
bus Barracks; and 21st infan-
try. at Plsttsburg, N. Y. They will
sail from New York for Manila by way
of the Suez canal before January 1.
The transports Mobile and Berlin, two
OF 'the largest converted transports
owned by the government, will be used
TO cArrY the troops.

SCARCITY OF COAL
Retail Dealers are Fast Running
Short

The scarcity of coal today among
the retail dealers was apparent when q
reporter rung up each of them in turn
and asked if they could fill an order for
two tons this afternoon.
Only one firm responded in the af-
firmative and the answer was that they
might be able to, but we're not sure.
Others said they we're expecting
coal tomorrow via the Santa Fe but
could not tell when IL would arrive.
One dealer referred the questioner to
the Santa Fe coal agent.
That Office was asked when
the coal might be expected to arrive.
The answer was that the exact time
was not known but it might get in to-
morrow.

from the islands at the expense of the
United States government all Spanish
troops.
It is difficult to say which side ia

reached, the Spaniards, that the agony
Is ended at last, or the Americans,
that period has been put to the pain
full but necessary operation which may
prove to be Spain q salvation.

INDIGNATION

Spain Still Remembers the Maine.
MADRID, Dec. 9.-Indignation has
been caused among all classes by the
refusal to submit the question OF
the responsibility for the des-
truction of the Maine to
foreign arbitration. Spaniards say it
is adding insult to injury and taking
an unfair advantage of circumstances
to deny justice to nation which is un-
able to resent such q course.

FROM A CONVICT TO GUARD.
Prisoner Who Made Himself Useful Em
piOyed by His Jaiiers.

pioyed by His Jaiiers.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Henry Berner. who spent over 20
years behind prison walls for q murder
or which he always declared his inno-
cence, Is now wearing the uniform OF
a guard at the Institution. in Jefferson
Vile, Ind, where he so long wore the
garb OF a convict. Berner was paroled
by the board Of managers of the re-
formatory the first week in February,
but he failed to obtain employment as
required by the new parole law until
last Wednesday. when II was an
nounced that he would go to his moth
er at Cumminsville. Ohio. a suburb OF
Cincinnati, and there reside, having
complied with that important require
ment.
During his long confinement Berner
became almost indispensable to the In
stitution, and after mis- departure his
value became still more apparent. Su-
p~erintendent Hert and the board of
managers determined to recall him and
place him In charge of the engine
rooms. This was done, and he has
been quietly at his duties since Mon
day. when he returned from Cummins-
Vile. Berner's alleged offense was the
murder of his employer, a barber
named Barlein, at Vincennes. After
Berner's conviction his betrothed mar
ried him In Jail, and she was loyal to
him during his confinement. She moved
to Jacksonville so as to be near him,
and met him at the reformatory door
when he stepped out a free man.
