ABOARD THE NEWPORT.
Batteries H and K, Third United States Artillery, Are Off
 for Manila TO-DaY.

The signal to break camp at o'clock yesterday morning was a most welcome sound to the men of Batteries Fl and K, Third United States Artillery, at Camp Miller, on the Presidio reservation. It was break in the monotony of camp life, and as all the men had been anxiously wait ing for the order to embark for Manila they worked with unusual vigor and alac- rity in pulling down their tents and get ting everything loaded on the trucks to be conveyed in advance to the steamer Newport
 At about 10:3O o'clock the men were lined up and for three-Quarters of an hour they, together with the large number of interested spectators, were entertained with music by the Third Artillery band.
 These two batteries presented a fine ap- pearance, as they are made up of manly looking men, both physically and intel lectually. This Is especially true of the recruits, many of whom were enlisted in the East: That is as fine a body of sol diers as l have ever seen," remarked Ma 1or Hess, who until yesterday was in com mand of the Manila battalion of the Third Artillery. The Chicago recruiting officer wrote me that the men he had enlisted were far above the average, both in phys ical build and education, and now that I have seen and become acquainted with these recruits l am of the same opinion. ''
 At n:l5 the battalion, composed of 400 men, was given the order to march, and as 1t passed out of the Presidio gate led by the Third Artillery band. it was given round after round of cheers by the men of Battery D, California Heavy Artillery, in command of Captain Steere, who had lined up his company just outside of the Presidio entrance
 The line of march was down Lombard street, Van Ness avenue, Golden Gate av- enue. Market street, and Third street to the Pacific Mail dock. where the troops went on board of the Newport

As it is, the Alameda will go out on schedule time, much to the de- light of the travelling public, with which the steamer is a great favorite.
 The only vessels that are sure to go out with troops in a week or so are the City of Puebla and Peru. The latter is being fited out at the Mail dock, and will be ready on time, while the Puebla is al sec tion of the sea wall having a new pro- peller put on and new smokestack fitted.
 The Mail Company's steamer Acapulco will be due here from Panama tomorrow, and the State of California. from Oregon, on Sunday. Both these vessels may be impressed and in that event there are four vessels that can be got ready to fol- low the Newport in a fortnight. Just what will be done no one seems to know, but the chances are that the City of Pue- bla, Peru, Acapulco and State of Califor- mia w. form the next fleet. That will
