PAlATIAL BIRTHS
 FOR ARMY MULES
More Care in Their Shipment to Manila Than Manifested
 for Soldiers.

For two months past the Quartermas- ter's department of the army has been largely occupied fitting out transports for the conveyance of soldiers to the Philip hines. Just now the department is con- centrating its energies on the fitting out of the ship Tacoma, which is to trans port mules to the same destination.
 Needless to say, the Tacoma Is receiv- ing much more attention than any of the others.
 Those in charge of the preparations ac- count for this great solicitude for the vel fare of the mules on the ground that it is an experiment and the Governemnt is determined to make it a success. So was the transportation of thousands of SOL diers 5000 miles across the Pacific an ex- pertinent, yet on some of the ships of the first fleet that sailed from this port notably the City of Peking-the men were crowded on board like sheep in a stock car Bunks were built in tiers of threu to six, without the slightest regard to sanitary conditions, light or ventilation. and were as many Chinamen in Sah Francisco found huddled together in as contracted quarters they would all b. punished for violating the cubic air or

These mules are or ariSto- cratic lineage, boasting of the bluest mule blood of Maryland. Thousands of soldiers can be obtained for s13 month and somu shoddy uniforms. The mules cost the Government $231 each, landed in San Francisco. California mules could have been obtained in plenty for quarter or that sum, but lacking the superior pedl- gree of the Baltimore breed they would not answer the purpose of hauling corn- missary trains through the Philippine jungles
 In view of all this, it is not surprising that the Government (through the quar- termaster's departmenO should lavish substantial portion of the war tax in fit ting up the Tacoma for the comfort of these long-eared aristocrats.

SONG BIRD TO WED.
Ricardo J. Jose and Miss Schriere to
 Be Married.

Ricardo Juan Jose, the famous and gifted tenor, and Miss Esther Therese Schriere are to be married. A license au- thorizing the happy union was issued yes terday. The engagement of the happy couple was exclusively announced in the issue of The Call of April T. At that time both of the contracting parties denied the fact of their mutual affection, but what The Call said was true, as witness the fact of the approaching wedding.
 The bride to be is the daughter of Mrs. General Oliver Roberts, granddaughter of the late George Iuff1ey, at one time Treasurer of Nevada, and niece of Mrs. Theresa F. Parrott.
 The favored man enjoys an enviable reputation throughout Europe as well as America, where he has made many friends and gained countless admirers with his fine voice.

LONGEST TOW KNOWN.
Tuq Fearless, Now the Iroquois Will Haul the Tacoma From
 San Francisco to Manila.

The Iroquois, formerly the tug Fear less and now owned by the Government, Is about to make the longest tow ever undertaken. She is to haul the ship Ia coma from San Francisco to Manila by the way of Honolulu, distance of about 66O0 miles. The Tacoma is to carry 100 horses and 12O mules and coal supply for the Iroquois. Lieutenant George M Cameron of the Fourth Cavalry Regi- ment is in command of the Tacoma, and Is experimenting the fitting up of the vessel for the reception of the animals He has a veterinary surgeon and a de- tail of twenty men to care for the live stock.
 The Iroquois will steam to Honolulu, a distance of 2100 miles, on her own coal At Honolulu she will recoal from the bunkers at that port and then proceed to the Ladrones and there, getting into smooth water, will take on sufficient coal from the Tacoma to carry her through to Manila.
 The Iroquois is a swift boat as we'll as one of the largest and most powerful tugs ever built. She will undoubtedly make good time. as the Tacoma is an easygofng ship. The Iroquois is we'll equipped in every respect for the long

FIRST NEW YORK.
No Time to Be Lost in Gettinq the Regiment Away to
 Honolulu.

It now appears from the latest develop ments that the sojourn of the First New York in San Francisco will be a short one. General Merriam intends to get the regiment to Honolulu as fast as possi- ble, and with this end in view the New York boys will be sent over the sea in different detachments just as soon as the transports can be secured. It is rumored that several small vessels have beer chartered for this purpose, and as rapid ly as they can be put in shape the regi- ment will be sent to Honolulu for garri- son duty. Colonel Barber will accom- pany the first expedition, and If there are more than two, Lieutenant Colonel Stac- pole will remain until the last one is dispatched. It is possible that the first detachment of the regiment may go in- side of ten days, and that the entire com mand will have departed by the middle of next month. Major Davis has SUD- mitted a plan for the post hospital to bs erected at Honolulu, and it has been ap- proved by General Merriam. It will be a one-story building with several wings. Colonel Barber is still confined to his room at the University Club, but he hopes to be able to assume command of the regiment in a few days.

 Upon representations from the nroner medical authority Brigadier General Mil Ter has ordered medical board convened to examine into the physical condition of Lieutenant Colonel E. c. Little. once acting commander of the Twentieth Kan sas Volunteers, to discover If he be not physically disqualified for the duties of his post. For five weeks past Lieutenant Colonel Little has been compelled to sign the payroll while lying in his bed at the Waldeck Sanitorium.
 It has come to be a well-circulated al, legation at Camp Merritt that the cbarga of physical disqualification" only serves to cloak a regimental skeleton. The for nal charge that has progressed throurb the proper channels is as has been stat ed, but accompanying it have gone Iet ters, one of them, it is said, emanatino from Brigadier General King, declaring Little to be a non-competent of the rank est order.

 Lieutenant Colonel Little is evidently resolved to combat the charge against him. He has removed himself from the Waldeck and has engaged apartments at
