THE TRANSPORT THOMAS.

The United States Army Transport
Thomas, Captain Buford, master, ar
rived in this port yesterday evening
from San Francisco with a large num-
Der of troops for Manila. The Thomas
left san Francisco at l o'clock on the
afternoon of Tuesday, the 18th. instant,
making an exceedingly good trip down.
At 4:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
transport was sighted off Koko Head.
1t was I o'clock, however, before she
was alongside the naval wharf. The
doctor was late in getting out to her
and on this account the vessel was later
in docking than she would otherwise
have been.
The Thomas brought no mail for this
port as it was expected that the Aus
trala would arrive here first and all
mail was reserved for the regular liner.
The Thomas proved the postal authori
ties in San Francisco mistaken for once.
The Australia left the day after the
Thomas and will arrive the first thing
this morning with just one days later
news of the outside world than was
brought by the transport.
Aboard the great troopship there are
over 1900 soldiers of the 5th Infantry
