THE NEXT DETAIL.
Iowa, Minnesota, California, Idaho and Wyoming Ex-
 pect Orders.

From the trend of observations, and such advices as the officers of Camp Mer- ritt discuss among themselves, there is absolutely no doubt that the third ex- petition to Manila will leave this port be- tween Monday and Saturday of next week. The exact day of departure has not been definitely settled upon, but in all probability the boats will leave next Thursday or Friday.
 Major General Otis will select the troops that are to go, and there is no question of their approval by Major General Merritt, who has left the matter entirely in the hands of General Otis. So far, from all that can be learned, the Seventh California, Thirteenth Minnesota Fifty first Iowa Regiments, and the two Idaho battalions and the Wyoming Battalion will be the next body of troops sent to the Philippines.
 Yesterday afternoon Major Foote, of the Wyoming Battalion, received orders to furnish detail to guard the Valencia. This vessel had been added to the fleet of transports, and from this 1t would ap- pear that the Wyoming Battalion will certainly go along on the next expedition. The three companies of the Fourteenth United States Infantry are now equipped, and it is very likely that Major Robe 8 command may also go with the third ex- petition.
 There does not seem to be the slightest doubt that the expedition will be commanded by Br1gad1er General Charles King. He established his headquarters yesterday just opposite to those of Major General Otis
 Brigadier General H. G. Otis, with his entire staff, also established headquar- ters yesterday next to those of General Marcus P. Miller.
 The Eighteenth United States Infantry has now completely recruited its ranks up to the maximum strength. Under an or der from the War Department its excess will be turned over to the Fourteenth United States Infantry.
 Colonel McC. Reeve, Thirteenth Minne- sota expects 300 recruits on Monday from St. Paul and Minneapolis. These men were secured in one day for the regiment by the recruiting detail sent East.
 Lieutenant Kimball with eighteen re- cruits from Salt Lake City for the Utah Cavalry will arrive to-day.
 Colonel Berry, Seventh California, ex- poets his recruits from the southern part of the State the first of next week. Colonel Berry was also ordered yesterday to send a detail of two commissioned officers and four sergeants to report to Captain Car rington at the First Regiment Armory to assume command of the recruits for the First California. AS soon as the required number of men have been secured they will be taken out to camp and cared for by Colonel Berry. who wilt take them with his command to Manila.
 The Twentieth Kansas Regiment will be paid to-day by Major Whipple. Colonel Funston who has been on detached serv- ice is expected to assume command of the regiment to-day.

THE MARIETTA'S RECORD.
A Remarkable Run of Twelve
 Thousand Miles.

The following letter from the command CT of the U. s. S. Marietta refers to a record equal to that achieved by the bat tleship Oregon:
 UNITED STATES STEAMER MARIETTA.
 KEY WEST, Fla. June G. 1898 Henry Scott, Union Iron Works San Fran cisco, Cal.-My Dear Sir: The achievement of the Oregon on her recent long run was per haps no more gratifying than that of this yes sel for l am of the impression that the record made by the Marietta in her run of 12 900 miles from San Jose Guatemala has never been equaled. by a man-of-war of her class I mean as regards the continuous nature of the trip and her condition during it and at its completion. In the first place our only stops were from twenty-four to forty-eight hours for coal. Not once had we to stop for even a slight repair.
 When accompanying the Oregon the Marietta had no difficulty in maintaining her full con- tract horsepower. Upon our arrival here had occasion demanded 1t, could have gone out at once on any duty, after coaling.
 The gales we experienced off Sitka Alaska last December, demonstrated her superior character as sea boat also the superior quality of workmanship in her construction, as the extreme straining to which she was subjected did not cause her to leak drop in results Is equally complimentary of her motive power.
 I thought that you would like to hear of her performance which I consider as import a nt and remarkable that of the Oregon. We ex- pect to go on blockade duty in day or two. Yours respectfully, F. NJ. SYMONDS,
 Commander S N

the year. This immense gold coinage is due to a general increase of supply from all sources. principally to the importa- tions of gold at this port, mainly of for eign coin. Since August last S25, 0,OOO, mostly in British sovereigns from Aus tralia, have gone into Uncle Sans melt ing pots here. It is interesting to note that during the last three months l,OOO,- 900 worth of Japanese yen have likewise been received and melted.
 The coinage for May was $6 ,192,00O and if it were not for the annual settlement and cleanup this month the total coinage for June would be over g 900. The coinage of all that small silver gave tenn porary jobs to about twenty deft-fngered young ladies, but the rush has made no other additions to the force.

THE THIRD SQUADRON.
Five Ships Inspected and Ac- cepted-Valencia Added to
 the Fleet

Some work was done on the transports yesterday. On the Indiana accommoda- tions for about 750 passengers were put in at Philadelphia in anticipation of the yes sel being put in the klondike trade Be
 sides these she can accommodate about
 800 more soldiers and at the same time
 carry about 2000 tons of coal, but the
 question has not been settled as to wheth-
 CT she will carry more freight and fewer soldiers, so nothing will be done until that point is settled. The Indiana and the Ohio
 are both well adapted for transports, and as the Connemaugh and Pennsylvania are
 the same type of vessels they should
 make welcome additions to the fleet. The Connemaugh is now on her way to St.
 Michael and will be back on the Sound
 shortly, while the Pennsylvania will be
 due here in a few days. Both could be easily got ready to go out with the fourth
 expedition.
 It was thought that the Morgan City
 would be one of the first of the present fleet to get ready, but 1t has been found necessary to. overhaul her machinery and boilers so she will not be in order any sooner than the other vessels. The City of Para has been en the ,drydock and overhauled while there, and the work of putting in berths will begin to-day. The next fleet will consist of five vessels-the Ohio, Indiana, Morgan City, City of Para and Valencia. The aforementioned vessel
 was secured by the Government yester-
 day. The five ships were inspected and accepted. The Valencia belongs to the Pacific Steam Whaling Company and can
 comfortably carry 600 men. The ship can steam at the rate of twelve miles an hour. There is some talk that Major General
 Merritt will sail on the Valencia, as the ship is nearly new and possesses fine ac- commOdations.
 The Government is now considering the advisability of turning the Willamette and Progreso into troop ships. They are both in the coal trade, but are fine roomy vessels, splendid carriers and each can jog along week in and week out at the
 rate of ten knots an hour. Both of them were turned into passenger steamers when the rush to the Klondike was on
 last season, and both made very valuable additions to the Dyea and Skaguay fleet The Willamette could easily be fitted out in a week or ten days to accommodate 1200 men and their equipments and at the same time she could take 5000 tons of coal or provisions. The ProgreSo could be fit- ted out in the same time to accommodate z l 800 or 1000 soldiers and a proportionate | quantity of freight They can be got ready with less trouble than the ordinary passenger boats, as their tween decks from stem to stern are clear and the work of putting in hunks could be done very expeditiously. The loss of the two vessels
 would be very, severe one to the coal | trade, but would not be felt nearly as
 much now as three months hence. With these two vessels and the Alameda. Con nemaugh, Pennsylvania and the vessels | that have been secured at Seattle Uncle sam should have no difficulty in transfer. ring all the troops that may be reouired in the Philippines.

THE POWDER SUPPLY.
The California Company Quad ruples It's Plant for Uncle
 Sam

It Is appropriate that there should be a big boom and an enormous pressure In powder in war times. The pressure is about every pound the California Powder Works can stand A few days ago two more great hydraulic presses for brown prismatic powder were got in operation at the plant of the company in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and by July two more will be ready. The capacity of the works will then be four times what 1t was when the war began. Even at that officers of the company say that contracts now in hand will require months to fill. The company Is now turning out 25,000 pounds day, of which about 5000 pounds is smokeless, but 'hurry-up' orders from Washington are coming right along Over at Pinole, across the bay, the company has an acre of hitter pots In constant operation and the scale of all its opera tions is increasing daily.

 The Third United States Artillery had it's first regular drill in extended line of battle work yesterday at the Presidio, and the men entered into 1t with the greatest enthusiasm. One of the features is the yell that is given in making a charge on the enemy, whom it is intended to terrify. It was introduced in the Civil War by the Confederates and was known as the rebel yell. It has since been adopt ed by the regular army and it's effect Is said to be wonderful.
