The Senator Is a Staunch Ship and Is
Expected In Next Week.

San Francisco, Oct 20.-The Chroni-
Gle says: There is little cause for alarm
at present over the fact that possibly
the United States transport Senator

tered a typhOOn shortly after leaving
Yokohama according to marine men
and the owners of the steamer The
fact that the Empress of India did not
sight the transport and was herself
caught in the typhoOn is not regarded
as ominous for the Senator. In fact the
army officers and both members of the
firm of GoOdall. Perkins & Co. the
owners, are firm in their belief that the
Senator will arrive on Monday as sche-
duled, or at the most not later than
Tuesday. The Senator is built of steel

in the nomination OF Generals Ftzhugh

Leonard Wood takes charge as Governor
General Of Cuba the military force In

the provincial commanders dispensed
with. This will probably be about the
first Of next year, and i'm the mean time
there will be promotions and vacancies in

President to transfer Generals Lee and
Wheeler to that branch of the service,
in order TO retire them, under the law,
as he is said to sincerely wish TO do. for
their valuable services 10 the country.
