IBBBUEH SUEZ.
New York Troops to Goto
Manila by that Ronte.
BETTER FOR THE SOLDIERS.
Frequent Stops for Provisions and
Coal Possible—Long Distance
to New Possessions.
By Associated Press.
New York. Dec. 9—A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The next regiments to start for Manila
will embark at New York about the end
of this month and will go through the Suez
canal. The expedition will consist of
three regiments or regular infantry distri
buted bet wer n two of the largest convert
ed transports owned by the government,
with perhaps a convoy of two warships.
Arrangements are now being made for this
expedition by Adjutant General Corbin as
rapidly as possible in view of its great im
portance. especially as it involves co
opfrat ion by the state and navy depart
ment authorities as well as those of the
war department.
The decision to use New York as the
point of emabarkatlon instead of San
Francisco, whence all all the earlier j
forces started for the Philippines, was I
reached by General Corbin after a careful ’
review of a number of considerations, I
chief among which was the urgency for I
haste. The early completion of the '
treaty of peace with Spain renders indis- j
pensable a prompt increase of the Amer- 1
lean forces not only al Manila but to pro- .
vide additional garrisons for other im- |
portant centers in the archipelago, which '
will immediately fall under .American dom
ination. with its accompanying responsi
bility for the security of life and prop
erty.
At the present time the government is
wholly without available transports in the
Pacific ocean to meet the emergency. The
dispatch of two vessels from the Atlantic,
it is believed, will therefore be particular
ly advantageous for the double purpose of
bringing home from (Manila such volun
teers as can soon be spared, and increas
ing the transport fleet in the Pacific. The
three regiments of regulars have not yet j
been selected, but as none but those now 1
in New York state and other Atlantic ■
garrisons can well be spared, the conclu
sion was forced upon the authorities that
economy as well as rapidity of action re
quired them to be sent byway of the
Mediterranean instead of journeying
across the continent and then undertaking
the trying and monotonous voyoge on the •
Pacific with no haven of rest after leav- i
ing Havana.
The garrison under General Otis at Ma
nila now consists of one company of the
regular Engineer battalion, six troops of
the Fourth rregiment of cavalry, six bat
teries of (he Third and Sixth regiments of
artillery, three regiments—the Fourteenth, j
Eighteenth and Twenty-third—regular in- .
fantry. fifteen regiments of. volunteer in- ■
fantry and six batteries of volunteer artil- !
lery. including the Asnn* battery,, 'which
already has homeward orders: It wTll be
the effort of the authorities to return all
these volunteer regiments and batteries to
the United States as speedily as possible,
bringing them home as far as feasible in
the order in which they reached Manila f
after Admiral Dewey's victory and it is
■believed that on the arrival there eary in i
February of the three regiments of regu- 1
tars from New York at least six of the
volunteer command's may be released from
the duty that has already grown irksime
to them.
The expedition from New York could ,
start in the course of the next week if it |
were not for the exigency in Cuba, which ,
demands the utilization of the entire ma- |
rine transportation resources of the gov- j
eminent on the Atlantic coast just at !
present, for providing protection to all in- ■
terests in that island promptly on-the de- ,
parture of (he Spanish garrisons. (Al- i
though the Ninth at Madison barracks;
the ‘Thirteenth at Fort Porter, Columbus '
and Niagara: the Twenty-first at the
Platsburg barracks, all in New York, as ■
well as other regiments of regular infantry
at posts east of the Rocky Mauntains, are i
equipped ready to start practically on the
tap of the drum, a delay is essential for
at least two weeks to secure the necessary
transports. The vessels to take these three
regiments from New York to Manila will
probably be the Berlin, with a capacity for
two thousand men and the Chester which
can comfortably provide for fifteen hun
dred men. These ships are declared to be
in excellent condition and capable of car
rying all the supplies and equipment es
sential for the forces, beside having the
advantage of roomy decks and plenty of
elbow room for three thousand men and
the necessary officers.
Some question’ arose, when the advan
tages of the Mediterranean route led to
its virtual adoption, as to the possibility
of sending such an expedition through the
Suez canal without violating the neutral
ity regulations of that water way. but the
state department, which is taking an ac
tive interest in the expedition- aqd will
through its consular officers, undertake
to make the stay of the soldiers pleasant
in the foreign ports visited on the voyage,
promptly swept this away by citing the
precedent of an armed Spanish squadron
under Camara securing a right of way to
pass to the Red Sea from the Mediterra
nean at the height of hostilities, notwith
standing the cautious representations of
this government. After that incident it is
considered impossible that such an in
ternational canal could ever been closed
in time of war. not to mention such times
of peace as at present, except by the ex
ercise of * force.
The navy may send one two cruisers
■with the expedition as far as Gibraltar,
where the Helena has just arrived and
where she may act as a convoy, and Ad
miral Dewey may send one of his vessels
as far as Singapore to meet the fleet.
Stops will probably be made on the voy
age at Gibraltar. Fort Said. Aden, Colombo
and Singapore. It will depend on the re
ports of officers who accompany this ex
pedition whether the transports after
reaching Manila shall return to the United
States byway of the Atlantic or the Pa
cific, although it may be considered ad
visable. in view of the fact that most of
the earlier regiments which reached Ma
nila wer from the Pacific coast, that the
I transports will proceed to San Francisco
In order to land the returning troops near
er their homes.
The actual steaming distance for full
! powered vessels from New York to Manila
i via Suez is given by the naval hyprgraphic
office as 11,605 nautical miles, while that
‘ from San Francisco to Manila via Hono-
■ lulu i- given as 7.050 knots. To Manila
i from New York byway of the Ca: • of
I Good Hope, is 13.585 miles an 1 byway of
i the strait of Magellan and Samoa it is
16,900 miles.

New York, Dec. 9.—A dispatch to the
Herald from Port San Antonio, Jamaica,
says: Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
I Vanderlip reached here in the revenue
i cutter Gresham from Porto Rico, where
i he has been for the past ten days.
*‘My mission to Porto Rico.” he said,
‘‘was to find out the most suitable forms
of government for the colony.
Mr. Vanderlid has- come to Jamaica to
make a comparative study. Jamaica, be
inb in the same latitude and the condi
tion of the natives being similar, it will
, be easy to make a comparison. He found
' that the Porto Ricans are hardly able
' just yet of self government. Eighiy per
■ f ceilt of them are illiterate. There is no
prefer scK*Aol system on the island. It
wilb require a strong hand to govern them.
There is a band of outlaws on the island
who wil give the American authorities 1
much trouble. The Porto Ricans, how- i
I ever, welcome American rule.
i Mr. Vanderlip says the Porto Rican j
tariff on imported goods is too high and he
l wili recommend a. reduction. He leaves
| for Santiago Friday.

Will Co With Them to Cuba—Many now

Savannah. Ga.. Dec. 9 —More than twen
'ty ladies are in the city visiting their
, husbands, who are officers in the Seventh
i corps. In a few days there will be a gen
eral separation, tender farewells and tears.
The ladies are staunch patriots anti
| Cuban fevers and turbulence have no ter
i core for them if thev can only be with
their husbands. Nearly all of those who
! are here intend to go to Havana. Two or
three will go at once, trusting to luck to
find them places to stay after they ar
rive. Others will work upon a different
plan, waiting for their husbands to be
j come established on the island and to ar
-1 range for proper accommodations.
i A little matter of hardship is not con
sidered bv most of the ladies when they
begin thinking about their trip<s to Cuba.
They look upon the army as going on a
sort of campaign, notwithstanding tttere is
no war. and they will naturally expect not
the most elegant apartments or-fare.
It is the plan of some of the ladies,
whose homes are at a distance, to remain
in Savannah until they hear from their
husbands. When they are advised that
j places for them to stay have been found
j wherever the officers are stationed, they
i will get away for the island. Others will
go to their homes and there await word.

President Said to Faver Mod
ification of the Treaty
IN Os THE CANAL
Disclosure of the Real Obstical to
the Construction of the Nicara
gua Waterway.
By Associated Press.
New York, 'Dec. 9. —A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: President
McKinley is in favor of opening negotia
tions with Great Britain for the purpose
of modifying the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
so as to permit the construction and con
trol of the Nicarauguan canal by the
United States.
Should congress during the present ses
sion fail to enact the pending Morgan bill
the president also favors entering into ne
gotiations with Nicaragua and Costa Rica
locking to the construction of the canal
under the auspices and control of the
United States.
On the authority of a high official of the
administration it is stated that there is
absolutely no foundation for the repor
that Great Britain, through Sir Julian
Pauncefote, has protested to the state de- >
partment against that feature of he pres
ident's message dealing with the canal ■
question. On the contrary, the authorities .
have every reason to believe that the
British government will cornsent to any •
reasonable modification of the Ciayton-
Bulwer treaty that the president may de
sire, so’ as to remove the obstacles which
it has placed in the way of the control of
the canal by this government.
So satisfied are the officials on this sub
ject that negotiations will soon be active- I
ly under way which, it is hoped, will cul- '
minate in an agreement especially in- ;
tended to give this government the right
to construct and control the proposed j
water way. j
