The United States transport Warren
(ScaDdia) will leave for Manila at an
early hour this morning. She was to have
sailed yesterday afternoon, but the SOL
diers who We're to go on her had not all
arrived. Her full list will consist of 500
officers and men from the artillery and
300 recruits for the various regiments in
the Philippines. About a thousand Of
these men were put aboard the transport
early in the day, but as they were given
shore leave they might as well have been
allowed to find their own way aboard in
the first place. The saloons on East street
near Folsom were crowded during the al
ternoOn and free fights were almost con-
tinuous. A large force of men from the
Harbor police and a corporals guard
were on hand and as soon as a soldier be-
came too obstreperous he was bundled
aboard and locked up.
The Hancock. which was scheduled to
sail on Monday night, did not get away
until early yesterday morning. she VIII
reach Honolulu about thlrty-sIM hours
ahead Of the Warren and should be coaled
and ready TO sail by the time the latter
arrives.
The Morgan City and the Newport were
to follow the Warren next Friday. The
Newport will probably get away but the
chances are that the Morgan City Will not
leave before Tuesday next. Her machin-
cry requires considerable overhauling and
the work cannot be finished by Friday
next. The Morgan City will go out with
a happy family in the engine-room.
