SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, June s.
The battleship Monterey, with the
Brutus as collier and consort, sailed
this morning for Manila, via Honolu-

Some OF the congressional visitors
at the War department have ques.
TONED the officials as 30 the exact
purpose Of the military expedition to
Santiago. The idea has gotten
abroad that Santiago was to be made
the base Of operations against Ha.
vana, 1t is learned, however, that
the departments plans do not con-
template this. The sole purpose of
landing troops at Santiago and captur.
ing the town is to destroy or capture
the Spanish fleet. Therefore it is
said that as soon as Santiago is re-.
duced and the Spanish fleet disposed
of the United States troops will be dis.
patched to some other point-Porto
Rico or Havana-leaving the insurg.

Spaniards from reoccupying Santiago.
II the insurgents cannot be depended
upon to do this then some of the

will be left In the vicinity of Santiago
under the protection of some Of the
American cruisers, which by that
time will have effected an entrance
into Santiago bay.

HOW OAKLAND
 KEEPS UP HER
 HARBOR WORK The Senate Delegation Got the Money.
ON A CONTINUOUS CONTRACT
SUMS ALLOWED ON ESTIMATES
 OF THE ENGINEER.
Historical Review of How Senators Perkins and White Accom- plished So Much for the Im-
 portant Improvement.

A brief history given by United States Senator George G. Perkins of the manner in which the appropriations for the improvement of Oakland harbor were placed on the continued contract basis is especially interesting.
 More than twenty years ago a board of engineers, of which Colonel George Wendell, U. S. A., was chairman, pre- pared plans for the improvement of the harbor. The engineers estimated that the sum of $800,000 would be re- quired to carry out the scheme of im- provement according to the plans sub mitted. After the adoption of the plans the Government proceeded with the work.
 The chief obstacle to the progress of the improvement was the failure of Congress to make annual allowances of money. One year a sufficient sum would be obtained, but the following year nothing would be allowed. In or der to facilitate the work, Senators White and Perkins employed their en- ergies in the direction of having the amount estimated by the engineers placed on the continuous contract basis in the appropriation system.
 Two years ago the Senators succeed ed in their purpose, and the appropr1a- tion, amounting to $5O0,OOO, the unex- pended balance of the original estimate of $500, 900, is now being disbursed un- der the continuous contract system. The definite appropriation for the inn provement was thus secured by the en- terprise and Sagacity of the Senate del egation, and the amounts annually dis bursed now conform to the estimates rendered by the engineers. In this di- rection, Senator Perkins being mem Der of the Committee on Appropria- tions was able to contribute much to the success of the cause.
 In an interview yesterday Senator Perkins said: T do not want The Call to give me exclusive credit for this result, but you can say that the credit belongs to the Senate delegation. The appropriations will continue from year to year until the balance of the $500, 900 originally estimated by Colonel Wendell is expended. Looking back over the records since 1875 you will find that cur representatives in Congress failed at times to secure any appropriation Of money. to carry out the improvement, But this will not occur again. The Oakland harbor improvement is now in the system of continuous work along with the improvement of the Columbia River and Humboldt Bay. My posi- ton on the Appropriation Committee enabled me to accomplish much in this direction. Now, at the last session for example, I had the words under exist ing project inserted so the item now reads: Improving harbor, Oakland, California: For continuing improve ments under existing project, one hun dred and thirty-five thousand dollars. I secured an appropriation of S4OOO for the Yosemite National Park, the first ever obtained. General Grant and Seauoia parks were included in the bill as 1t came from the committee, but the items were not allowed

REGISTRATION IS
 ABOUT TO CLOSE ONLY SIX DAYS MORE LEFT FOR HARDY CITIZENS.
Registrar Biggy Declines to Register the Volunteer Soldiers From
 Other Counties.

The Election Commissioners held short session yesterday morning and then ad- journed out of respect to the memory Of the late Mayor Sutro. Outside of mak- ing a few changes in precincts where 1t was found that substitution of officers was necessary no business of moment was transacted. A set of resolutions reg uIating the precinct boards of registration was unanimously adopted. The rules pro- vide that summary dismissal shall follow any misconduct on the part of any off, cer; that at no time shall there be less than two officers on duty, and that under no circumstances shall liquor be allowed in any registration place.
 Registration closes at the New City there will be a big rush. The indications are that not 50 per cent of the vote will be registered before then and that the precinct registration officers will, during their five days of service, be called upon to register from 32 900 to 35,G00 citizens.
 Two representatives from the Los An geles company of volunteer soldiers sta toned here called at the Registrars of flee yesterday to ascertain If they and their associates could register. Registrar Biggy replied in the negative. He said that they were under the control and supervision of the United States Govern ment that this city and county was not their place of residence as they were liable to be called away at any moment. There are many cases cited by Registrar Biggy to sustain him in the stand he took In the case of Devlin vs. Ander- son, 3S California Reports, the court held that mere presence as a soldier of the United States in obedience to military orders does not make residence in the sense of the constitution and laws rela- tive to the elective franchise" In the Fifteenth California is another decision to the effect that the mere fact that man is ae soldier In the United States army does not disqualify him from vot- ing in this State. But he cannot vote un- less he has been a citizen of the State and of the county in which he votes, for tba constitutional period"

The initial performance of Faust" at the Tivoli last evening went off very smoothly and was characterized by con- scientious attention to detail and by elab- crate and picturesque staging. melodous singing and the excellent handling of the famous orchestra.
 In a word. the performance was enjoya- ble and meritorious, and accordingly ex- cited the enthusiasm of the large audi ence. Seldom has the garden scene been done so well in this city. Throughout, the soloists and the chorus were in fine form. The voice of Miss Anna Lichter is peculiarly. adapted to the role of Mar guerfte She sang with tenderness, gay ety and pathos and her acting was good. Sig. Edgardo Zerni was an acceptable Faust. and William Pruette as Valen- tine, and Sig. G. s. Wanrell, as Mephisto, received well-earned applause. Miss Elvia CroX sang and acted the part of Siebel with much success. She was very effec- tive in the third act. A stronger Valen- tine than Pruette has not been seen or heard here in long time. The Faust" presentations have every promise of be- ing among the most popular of the sea- son. The tuneful opera never wears out, nor does the story ever get old.

.FRESNO'S TEAM
 Is STRUCK OUT WatsonVilIe Installed in
 It's Place. UMPIRE SWEENEY AVENGED THE LEAGUES ACTION. JOY AND SORROW CAUSED BY The New Acquisition Enjoys an En- viable Reputation, and Though
 Handicapped Will Try
 to Get to the Front.
JOY AND SORROW CAUSED BY
BY JOE cORBETT.

The Fresno Baseball Club was last night dropped from the ranks of the Pacific Coast League, and in its place was listed the Watsonville club.
 Ever since the unjust treatment of Um- pire Sweeney by the Fresno management this move has been in contemplation, and was not completed at the last meeting of the league board. held a week since owing to the fact that Sweeney was com pelled to return for trial, and it was feared the eXpelling of the club before this incident came to pass would necessi- tate the management giving Sweeney an unusually warm reception on his return to their midst.
 The idea did not work to perfection, as Sweeney returned and, instead of being acquitted, was fined S20 and costs, which amount was paid by the league managers. at the suggestion of MT. Bunker.
 The consensus of professional opinion, and I may add the prevailing belief. Is that the move of taking in close-by Wat sonville Is deserving of commendation. It is claimed by every manager and play CT who ever appeared In the town of Fresno that 1t Is almost impossible to meet with fair play there. and when one takes into consideration that no less than owing to unfair treatment, 1t Is not diffi- cult to surmise that there Is much verac- ity attached to the statement.
 Outside of this 1t Is claimed that base ball does not draw we'll in Fresno and the expense and inconvenience of going such a distance do not warrant such a long trip. At any rate. grievances go for naught as the club has been disposed of so far as the Pacific Coast League Is concerned, and all eyes will naturally be turned on its successor.
 Little Is known regarding the clubs S ability. They have achieved by assidu- ous work an enyiable reputation among the crack amateur towns of the State and one feature which stamps them as being competent enough to maintain world Is that they have In their ranks a pitcher known as Mr Danlin, who has more than held Its own while twirling for the San loses. They accepted. with out a protest, the Fresno clubs stand ing in the championship race, which, by the way, Is not a laudable one-this be- cause of their desire to enter the league. In this one respect they are greatly handicapped but 1t is said they intend overcoming it. Of course, 1t would have been much better had they been accorded the privilege of an equal start, but as this was impossible owing to the number of games already played, 1t Is hoped they will prove themselves equal to the emer- gency Outside of Danlin 1t is impossi- ble to figure on the team at present, as I have never had the good fortune and however I will vouch for-if the men composing the team are as interested and as confident as their rather good-looking managers, the pennant Is already theirs: that is if confidence can outshine good baseball.
