The army transport Sheridan arrived
from San Francisco at 3 p. m. yester-
day, after a fair, uneventful trip. The
: vessel sailed on July and brought
mail and three days later files The
transport was flying the yellow flag for
quite a time after tying up at the naval
wharf, the reason for the display OF
the dread signal being the presence of
a suspected case of dipntheris aboard.

of enlisted men. Among the cabin
passengers are Major r. X. Steedman
