Washington. May 1.-THE war de-
partment will not for some time at
least send any more troops to Manila
by way of New York and the Suez ca
nal. 1t is said that the health of the
troops would be endangered by going
through the Indian ocean and along
equatorial ATTITUDES during the sum-
mer. All troops now under orders for
1 Manila or to be ordered there during
the next few months will be sent by
way of San Francisco. 1t is expected
that the Grant and the Sherman, now
at San Francisco, and the Sheridan,
which will soon arrive there, will carry
/ all the troops that will be needed in
4 the Philippines. Nor is it the inten-
| ton at present to make the Logan,
Meade and Thomas a part of the Pa
! cific transport fleet. These ships will
| be reftted as soon as they can be spar
| ed from service in the West Indies
| They are owned by the government
and with others will be converted into
the best army transports. in accord
ance with plans announced long ago
when it became apparent that army
transports would be needed for several
years to come. 1t is believed by the
quartermasterge department
that nearly four months will be re-
CURED to put the ships in frst-class
condition.
There are five troops ships now on
the Pacific route to Manila with rein
forcements and stores for Gen. Otis

April 20. two days later than the Han
cock, and is due at Manila within the
next 10 days. She carried eight bat
teries of the 9Th Artillery. including 50
officers and 912 men and also 240 re-
cruits. She stopped en- route and
therefore is not expected TO make as
good time as the Hancock. The New
port also sailed from San Francisco on
the 10th, and is due at Manila in a few
days. She stopped at Honolulu. She
carried two light batteries, including
eight officers and 300 men and also IL
officers and PIG men of the marine
corps. The Morgan City left San Fran
cisco, April %, with Gil enlisted men
and recruits. The Senator and Ohio

80 officers and 1929 men. All these YES
