official program changes within the next
twenty-four hours, two ship loads of
troops and military supplies will leave
San Francisco tomorrow or Saturday.
The City of Pekin ana the City of Syd
ney will be used as transports. The

will probably act as convoy. It is ex
pected Major-General Otis will accom
pany the expedition.
Delay in sending the expedition has
beetjiiiade necessary by the fact that
the Pacific troops lacked proper equip
ments. SERIOUS EXPLOSION

FRANCE OPENLY
AIDING SPAIN
Coaling Station at St. Pierre, N. F.,
Said to Have Been Secured By
Spain United States Will Take
Steps in the Matter.
Washington, May 19. The report
from Canada, to the effect that Senor
Polo has secured from France a coaling
station for Spain off-the southeastern
coast of New Fonndland, while some
what discredited in official circle?, has
already led to communications between
the state department and the United
States embassador in France.
In the first place it is held that this
action, if it has really been taken, is a
clear violation of the Monroe doctrine,
and beeides is in contravention of
France's declaration of neutrality.
Should it be proven true, there will un
questionably be a lively fight in the
vicinity of New Foundland, as the
United States upon confirmation of the
report will, without question, dispatch
a fleet to St. Pierre with instruction to
destroy everything Spanish that it may
come across.
It is just barely possible that a trans
fer of the island to Spain, providing,
always, tbat it has been done, will lead
to an open out break between tliiB coun
try and France, and in that event an
alliance with Great Britain would be
come inevitable.
At least this is the opinion of inter
national lawyers who have given this
subject much consideration since the
report was first published this morning-
