SHERIDAN SAILS TO-DAY

General Francis Moore resumed the
duties of his post as commander OF the
Department of California yesterday.
He was pleased with his visit to the
Hawaiian Islands. He was not favor
ably impressed with the location OF
Camp Mckinley, and thinks some OF
the other Government reservations
there would better serve for a perma-
nent camp. The only troops there now
are the Twenty eighth Company Coast
artillery IN command of Lieutenant w.
w. K. Hamilton, and the Ninety second
Company Coast Artillery in command
Of Captain Henry B. Farrar. The post
is In command of Lieutenant Colonel
John Mcclellan. AS these are the
only three officers at that post, they
are forced to do double duty, and only
occasionally get an opportunity to go
into Honolulu. For this reason they
are not well pleased with the station.
This trip to Honolulu ends the in
spections Of the posts belonging to this
department, with the exception Of posts
at Bentcia, Monterey and San Diego.
These will be inspected by General
Moore In the near future. General
Moore will retire from the army on
April and will make his home in Cali
fornia. His aid, Lieutenant Greed F.
Cox, will then resume his duties with
the Eleventh Cavalry, now stationed at
Des Moines.
Mrs. Francis Moore and her daugh-
ter, Miss Jessie Moore, are still in
Honolulu, and will return here on the
transport Logan about February 10.
The transport Sheridan will sail for
Manila at noon to-day. She goes as
an extra, occasioned by the great
amount Of freight and a large number
Of casuals that were awaiting trans
portation.
