department in the next mail from Ma
Mia. The department has not re-
ceived a report of any length from
Gen. Otis since April last. Officials of
the war department expect the report
to be exhaustive with full details of the
operations in the islands during the

embody 1t in his annual report to con-
gress.
Much complaint has been lodged
against the quartermasters depart
ment because OF apparent carelessness
in its methods. The most recent criti-
cism is caused by the alleged crowded
condition Of the transport Tartar,
which left Manila several days ago
with discharged soldiers and volun-
teers on board. Reports coming from
Hong Kong state that the men COM
plain bitterly, charging unnecessary
oyercrowding, 1,20O being on the ship,
which has accommodations for not
more than TOO men. This condition is
said to be due to the fact that the ship
had not been properly Inspected and Its
capacity was not accurately known.

THE TARTAR DETAINED.
British Authorities said to Have In
tcrfered With a Troopship ut Hong

British Authorities said to Have In
tcrfered With a Troopship at Hong
Kong.
Washington, Sept. 13.-A cable mes
sage received today by the war depart
ment. concerning the transport Tartar.
was considered of sufficient Importance
by Root to take to the president for con-
sideration. The dispatch was not made
public.
1t is said here that the transport Tar
tar has been detained at Hong Kong
by the British authorities on the ground
that she is carrying more troops on the
homeward-boundj journey from Manila
than Is allowed by the British naviga-
tion laws. The Tartar is under con-
tract to the United States from the
Canadian Pacific Steamship Company,
sailing under the British flag, and is,
therefore, subject to the British. naviga-
ton laws. II she is violating them the
autns-ities-a Hons Kong have right
to unload her. She sailed from San
Francisco to Manila with more men
than are returning in her and all ar
rived in good health.
After Roots return from the white
house it was decided to ask the state
department to take up the Tartar mat
ter with a view to securing her clear
ance. A dispatch was sent to Col. Met
calf, of the Twentieth Kansas, asking
II he thought the ship overcrowded, or
just the complaint of subsistence fur
nished the men. Otis was also cabled
for further information concerning the
Tartar and her supplies. No decision
can be reached till our ambassador at
London communicates with the British
government. Metcalf cabled that the
Hong Kong authorities would only clear
the vessel with S24 men. Otis cabled
that the Tartar was sent to Hong Kong
to dock, as there was no dock large
enough at Nagasaki. He added that the
vessel has room for 1.145 men and Ill
cabin passengers. She took 1.142 men
and sixty-one cabin passengers. On the
trip from San Francisco she carried
comfortably Las men and tifty-five
cabin passengers.
Regulars the Cause.
Washington. Sept. ia private
cable says the detention of the Tartar
is the result of complaint by over 400
discharged regulars on board. Funs-
ton, of the Twentieth Kansas. is
anxious to proceed homeward.
