THE STEAMER GUSSIE.
General Corbin Reasonably Certain
the Vessel is Safe.

WASHINGTON, Aug. I.-Adjutant
General Corbin said tonight that, while
no definite information had been re-
ceived by the War Department con-
corning the steamer Gussie, reported
lost off the southwest coast of Cuba, he
was reasonably sure the vessel was
safe. She was sent to Santiago with
supplies, and from there was to go to
Porto Rico with ordnance stores for
the army of invasion. Dispatches
about transports from both General
Shafter and General Miles were re-
ceived to-day, and as no reference is
made to the Gussie, it is taken for
granted that she is carrying out the
program arranged for her.
