EIGHT NEW TRANSPORTS
War Department Expends Four Mill
ion Dollars for Vessels.


Washington, June 25.-An important
addition to the war departments fleet
OF fOrty-One vessels available for trans
port and freight service has been an
nounced. Eight large ships of over $500
tons burden each, have been purchased
for use on the Atlantic coast. Seven
of the eight were obtained from the
Atlantic transport line. Heretofore the
practice of the war department has
been to charter all the vessels which it
has used, and the announcement today
of the acquisition of the ships by pur-
chase is distinctly new departure in
the policy of the government, due it is
believed to the fact that the owners
and agents of the various companies
heretofore have asked such high prices.
The purchase price of the ships secured
from the Atlantic transport line was
not stated at the department, but it is
understood that the amount approx
mately was four millions. All the YES
sells of this line are to be delivered to
the government at New York. Today's
acquisition is presumed to be a decided
ly forward step in the arrangements
for the Porto Rico expedition.
Added to the dozen ships already
available for this expedition, the eight
vessels make up a fleet that will trans
port an army fully two-thirds and
probably as large as that which Gen
eral Shafter took with him. Nine of
the transports heretofore chartered by
the government are at Tampa, two are
on their way there from New York,
while one remains at the latter city
The vessels purchased from the At
1antic transport line are the Massa-
chusetts Manitoba, Mohawk, Mobile
and Minnewaska, each of 300 tons,
and the Michigan and Mississippi each
of 300 tons. Every one of these seven
ships has a refrigerating capacity for
1000 tons of fresh meat and an addi-
tionaI capacity for /, 900 head of cattle
or horses.
The other vessels purchased on the
Atlantic coast was the OLDHAM, 1878
tons, of the Observation-Disclosures
Steam Navigation company
For the Philippine expedition the de-
partment has purchased a large steam
er which is to be delivered at San
Francisco It's capacity is regiment

always of low grade and half a cent a
