San Francisco, July 2O.-The work
Of counting the gold coin in the mint
has been completed by the experts in

source Of the city's water supplv)
TO accommodate three regiments of
infantry, one of cavalry and eight
batteries of artillery, as well as a
general commissary and quartermas-
ter's storehouse, TO cost 100000.
The erection of this latter building
will reduce expenses by $4,000

the commissary and quartermaster
storehouses in Manila alone. An
electric railroad connecting the
docks on the Pasig river and the new
storehouse will he constructed.
Gems. CGrbin and Chaffee have also
decided upon one single general
military hospital TO replace the
seven military hospitals in Mania
and vicinity. One of the latter
buildings will be converted into a
