DO opened ncar San Francisco July TO-.
The commanding general, western de-
partment, asked that sixty-two officers
and fifty noncommi ssioned officers be
| sent for the purpose indicated, but it
has been found impracticable, owing to
duties required of troops here, to spare
more than thirty officers and thirty-six
! noncommissiOned officers for this detail,
and General Evans has so informed
General Bell.
May Expedite Transport
On account of the lack of ADEQUATE
facilities on the regular steamers to &C
commodate these passengers, and be-
cause of the~necessity that they arrive
in San Francisco prior to the opening
Of the camp, the department comman.
der here has requested the commanding
general, Philippine Department to ex.
pedite the sailing of the transport due
to leave Manila on the fifteenth of
June, SO that she may be able to reach
San Francisco by the 9th of July, in
time for the officers and noncommis-
stoned officers to take up their duties in
the camp on the following morning.
As reservations for the use of the
Hawaiian department had previously
been made at Manila and all available
berths spoken for by other officers and
men travelling on duty, it became nee.
essary to request the Philippine au-
thorities TO supply thirty additional
reservations to accommodate the Off
GERS under orders to attend the instruc-
tion camps, The question as to wheth-
er these berths win be available is
problematieal.
