Prairie. on which the second company
Will embark tomorrow morning, are un-

officers in charge of the companies are
not confident that they will reach that
port. Both transports are equipped
with wireless telegraph apparatus, and
will be in touch with the War De-
partment all the way down the coast.
In case the sudden landing of troops
Is necessary both transports will be
rushed to the Mexican coast.
Comes As Surprise.
The departure of the marines early
today for Philadelphia was complete
surprise to those in charge at Marine
Barracks. Although they have, Of
course, watched-th progress of the
war with the greatest interest, and
have held themselves ready to leave
at any time, they had no idea Of being
called on when the orders came.
When the orders to leave came how
ever, those who were left behind packed
their kits and made ready, knowing
that when one company went the whole
garrison of 800 would be called. The
marines are confident Of seeing service
before long, and are looking forward
to 1t with a great deal Of excitement.
Capt. r. P. Williams, who Is in
charge of the company which left early
today, Is a seasoned campaigner, hav-
ing been in China, in charge Of
