Allowed to Sail From
Hongkong.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Sept. H.-Clearance pa
pers have been allowed the Tartar at
Hongkong. 1t is expected that she
will proceed to the United States at once.
The information that clearance had been
allowed came in a dispatch to Adjutant-
General Corbin this morning from Colonel
Metcalf, commanding the Twentieth Kan
sas, and the troops aboard the trans
port.
1t Is supposed clearance papers were al
lowed upon the suggestion of the British
Foreign Office to the British Governor at
Hongkong that it would be unwise to in
terfere with American transports. An
other dispatch from Colonel Metcalf in
reply to one sent yesterday states that
the Tartar was no more overcrowded and
that the food was as good as on other
transports leaving Manila. He said that
