is an important point at the back OF

rebels is serious matter for the Span

was issued about / p. m. and shortly
afterwards the wharves and docks on
the water front were crowded with peo-
pie anxious to witness the departure of
the formidable fighting machine and the
collier which is to accompany her. Ey-
cry steam whistle on the water front
blew farewell, and as the two vessels
moved down the harbor toward the
Golden Gate the crowds on the wharves
set up a mighty cheer.
The Monterey has always been a
great local favorite, but the prospects
are that she will never again enter this
harbor, as she is to be permanently sta
toned in the vicinity of Uncle Sans
colonies in the east. Nearly 500, 900 was
paid out yesterday to the volunteers
from Pennsylvania and Colorado. All
day long lines Of men were receiving
the money due them for months past
service and for one months service in
advance. That the second expedition to
the Philippines will not leave here be-
fore next Saturday seems almost certain
at this writing. Stores, supplies and
ammunition are being placed on board.
but the work will hardly be completed
before the end of this week, though it is
stated that the vessels will get away on
Friday. The troops which are to en-
bark on the Colon, ealandia and China
are ready for service, the last equip
ment being delivered yesterday.
