There were no new developments yesterday In
reference to the frigate Numancla, which was re-
ported in yesterdays HERALD as having grounded
on Monday night at her anchorage or the South
west Spit. and no further communication passed
between her commander and the Health Oflcer yes
terdav on the subject. Up to four O'Clock yesterday
afternoon the Spanish Consul had not received any
further Information in regard to the matter than that
contained In yesterdays report. the same facts
having been communicated to him officially by
Deputy Health Oncer Mosher. The pilots generally
are all agog on the subject, ana say that the only
way in which they can account for her grounding
Is that she has dragged her anchors without the
knowledge OF her officers and so changed her po
sition. The communication was made to DR.. Mosher
by the commander of the ship through an inter
prefer, Lieutenant Fernandez, who speaks excel
lent English, and there Is not any reasonable prob
ability OF o mistake being made Ia the interpre-
tation.
Pilot Commissioner Blunt stated yesterday that
he did not believe the Numancia had grounded,
unless she had dragged her anchors, and the
steamer Arago was sent down yesterday at the in
stance Of the Pilot Commission to ascertain and

Coast Survey, and before her return, which Will
