Will Be Increased.
TO HURRY TROOPS ABOARD.
Quartermaster's Department AhA-
ious to Prevent Any Delay In Sehd-
inU the Re-enfOrcementS or-
dered For Service ut Manila.

Washington, June 3O.-Quartermastel
General Eudington and Colonel Bird of
the transportation department OF the
army have had conference regarding
the proposed chartering of transports to
add to the Pacific fleet plying between
San Francisco and Manila.
The necessity of procuring more trans
ports so as to be ready to send the VOL
unteer troops to General OTIS as rapldiy
as they are enlisted and formed into regi-
ments has been apparent, ana Geherai
Iudington stated that the quarternas-
ter's department would do everything IN
its power to have all the transportation
ON hand at San Francisco that might be
needed, SO there would be no delay IN the
departure of the troops.
There are now under charter IA YES
sells fitted up for carrying troops. Ihey
are the Grant. Hancock, Indiana, Nor
gan City, Newport, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Senator, Shelidan, Sherman, Zealandla,
Warren, Valencia and City of Para. Or
these there are but two now at San
Francisco the City Of Para and the
Pennsylvania. The last named is ex-
pected to sail at once with portions of
the Twenty-fourth and Twenty fifth IN
fantry regiments, companies or the
Fourth cavalry and recruits.
Sailing of other Ships.
The City of Para is scheduled to leave
on July ~ with the remaining companies
of the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-hfth
regiments and recruits. This will leave
the Nineteenth infantry to go on the next
two transports to reach San Francisco.
They will be the Newport and the Ohio,
which left Manila on June il and are eX-
pected to reach San Francisco about the
middle of July. The Indiana, which left
Manila on June IS, will probably be the
next transport to arrive.
The Sherman, which sailed for Manila
on May o. and the Grant, which sailed
on May 80, have recently arrived at Ma
Mia. The Hancock, Morgan City and
Warren are now there and may leave at
any time for the United States.
The war department has received the
following from Major Long, superintend-
ent of the transport service at San Fran
cisco, announcing the departure of the
Valencia:
"Valencia sailed for Manila via Homo
lulu with headquarters band and two
troops of the Fourth cavalry, nine officers
and 213 enlisted men; two companies of
the Twenty-ffth infantry, six officers and
236 men, and two officers and six hos
ptal corps men,"
Major Long has acknowledged the re
ceipt of the departments telegram to
make inquiries and ascertain what avail
able transports there are on the Pacific
coast for him to charter 1t is expected
that he will make a report in a day or
two.

by change. If the silver plank ia left
out, away go the populsts and the silver
republicans, who focked to Bryan and in
their stead would come the gold democrats

able.
BY the time the conventions are held
