yesterday on her start for Manila. She will
stop at Norfolk. Va. for a few days to take ON
ammunition for the nert in the Philippines aud

The Solace has been at this port for some
time undergoing alterations to fit her for pas
scnGer service between America and tho
Orient. Tho likelihood that We shall keepu
strong naval force in the Far East for Il long
time to come made it necessary for the Navy
Department to arrange for a regular transport
tation service. The cruiser Buffalo and tho
Solace were chosen for the work. The Buffalo
will ply between san Francisco and the Philip
pines and lie Solace between this port and the
Philippines. Under the schedule which has
been arranged the Solaca will sail from here in
January and July and tho Buffalo from san
Francisco in March and September, each vessel
thus making two voyages a year. This will
give the department an opportunity every
three months to get supplies and men to the
ASiatiG squadron.
With this end In view for tho SOlace it was
necessary to rent her. This work has boon
