Arrangements have not been perfected yet for the transportation of the res.t ot the regiment and they are likely to re main here for several weeka unless more vessels than are now In sight takes them. Major-General Merrlam, himself, is anx ious to go to Honolulu to look over the new territory added to his department. but he stales positively that he will not leave here until the way la clear to aena all the troops ordered to sail for Manila.
