EIGHT NEW TRANSPORTS.
They Are Purchased Outright-POrtO
RiceD Expedition.


WASHINGTON, June A.-An important
addition to the War Departments list of
vessels available for transport and freight
service was announced to-day. This was
the purchase of eight large ships, Of over
5000 tons burden each, for use on the At
lantic coast, except one on the Pacific
coast. Seven were obtained from the At
lantic Transport Line, which operates Its
steamers from New York. Philadelphia,
and Baltimore to London. Heretofore,
the practice of the War Department has
been 10 charter all the vessels which 1t
has used, and the announcement to-day
Of the acquisition Of the ships by pur-
chase is distinctly a new departure In the
policy of the government, but it is attri-
buted to the fact that the owners and
agents Of the various companies hereto
fore have asked such high prices.
1t was authoratitively stated to-day
that the impressment of ships on the Az
lantic coast would not be resorted to, but
such as were desired would be obtained
I'm some other way.
The purchase price of the ships secured
from the Atlantic Transport Line was
not stated at the department, but II Is
understood that the amount approximate
Iy was 100000.
The ships are TO be delivered 80 th'
government at New York. Owing to thell
large capacity for carrying passenger
and supplies, they constitute a formidable
| addition TO the feet of forty-one snip
| already under charter by the government
for transport uses on the Atlantic coast
To-day's acquisition is presumed TO o.
n decidedly forward step in the arrange
ments for the Porto Rican expedition
although the officials of the department
decline at this time to say to what por
they will be ordered. Added 10 the dozel
ships already available for this expeai
tion. the eight vessels make up nee
that will transport an army FUZZY TWO
thirds and probably as large as Una
which General Shafter took with him.
