tai Corps man, 27 civilian employees and
a veterinary surgeon. Lieutenant Ber-
ry is quartermaster in charge. DR..
Knochold is looking after the animals.
The Federica's delay in leaving San
Francisco is explained by the following,
from San Francisco paper of Septem-
Der 4:
For the first time in it's history on
| a legal holiday, barring the Fourth of
| July, the custom house was not open
! for an hour in the morning to permit
| the clearance and entrance of vessels.
This was not counted on, and the
! transport officials ordered the vessel
! to go without her papers. Now this
! would have all been very well had the
steamer been a regular transport in
stead of a chartered one. But some
body suggested, possibly the charterers,
| that Russian men of war have impu-
| dent ways of looking over foreign YES
| sells in war times. The Russian acts
and think afterward. If the Federico
We're found in a harbor where a Rus
sian was at anchor, and she had no pa
pers, it would probably require a great
| deal of screaming upon the part of the
eagle to make the bear release his hold
| So the Federico did not go to sea yes
| terday." ~
| The transport may remain here a
week or ten days. Those aboard rejoice
at having arrived here in time to wit
| ness the events of Regatta Day. They
are particularly anxious to view the
native canoe races in the harbor to-
day.
| The Federico is steamer newly
chartered by the United States. She
carries, besides the horses and mules
| a large cargo. She is new boat and
was making her first trip when secured
| for the transport service. She is a
steel vessel, of about 4 0D0 tons, and was
! built last year at Glasgow
