be ready to sail for Manila on the
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan, about
September 10th.
DIFFICULTY IN COALING TRANS
PORTS.
There has been great diffiuclty in coal
ing the transports at Manila, which has
caused delay in sending home the vol
unteers. There is now on the way to
Manila hosting apparatus which will
enable the ships to be coaled at the
rate Of 600 tons a day. Quartermaster
Pope has been instructed to have old
hulks loaded with coal SO that they
may be brought alongside the trans
ports and the coal transferred by the
new machinery.
THE NEW PACIFIC FLEET.
Captain C. F. Goodrich has been de-
tached from command of the cruiser
Newark and ordered to assume COM
mand of the battleship Iowa on Sep
tember 1st, relieving Captain Terry,
who is ordered home on Waitilly orders
The assignment is of special interest
in connection with the plans to make
fleet on the Pacific coast, and to exc
cute an extensive programme of naval
maneuvres. Being the only battleship
of the fleet, the Iowa will probably rank
first among the ships of that station,
and Captain Goodrich doubtless will
have command.
MILES WANTS TO KNOW HIS PO-

He is now preparing his side of the
case, which will be submitted to the new
secretary. The condition which has ex-
listed in the war department since the
campaign in Porto Rico is reviewed,
showing that General Miles, While ma
jor general commanding the army, he
had little no voice in the manage
ment of affairs of the army, and it is
stated that with the incoming secretary
he hopes the present condition will
change.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 29.-More than
$4,000 men will be thrown out of en-
ployment Monday, and work will be
stopped on every large building in the
city in which brick made in non-union
yards is used in its construction, If the
business agents of the building trades
council carry out their intentions. No
representatives Of the brick manufac-
turers were present today at the con-
ference of those involved in the brick
makers strike at the rooms of the Ma
sons and Builders Association, and as
a result nothing was done in the way
of settling the difficulty: At the head
quarters of the committee having the
strike in charge it was said the manu-
facturers had failed to send representa-
tives to attend the conference, and as a
result the strike would be pushed Wig
orously forward from now on. To-day
being half holiday, no attempt was
made to stop work on any of the build
ings, but, beginning with Monday, it
is said, every workman will be with
drawn from the buildings where brick
from non-union yards is used.
