MARIANNE BEACH PIER.
At was Given Severe Test by . strons
Norther Lasting -Four Days-New
Landing Place Selected

New York, Dec. s.--A dispatch to
the Herald, from Havana says: A Sc
we're test has been given the new pier
at Marianao beach, by strong north
er that has been blowing for four days,
and its builders are pleased that it has
weathered the attacks of the waves.
The storm has demonstrated, however,
the impossibility of landing troops or
supplies there during the heavy seas.
The result is that new landing
place has been selected at the oil COM
pany's pier between Chorrera and We
dado, near the mouth of the Choir
rera river. Work upon the new docks
at this point is being hurried by the
volunteer engineers, and by Sunday,
when the troops are expected, any
transport drawing 25 feet of water or
less may be accommodated, thus OBJ
Waiting the necessity of ighterage.
