WASHINGTON, June i3-Arraheerhent
for the second expedition of invasion from
the United States for the West Indies are
being hurried at the war department. There
seems to be no doubt that this expedition;
II it's number approaches the first, Will be
sent from the east coast of the United
States. The experience in embarking the
first from Tampa has determined to the
war department officials that other pefts.
where the railroads and other facilities are
more adequate than at Tampa, are much
more desirable places for the concentra-
ton Of troops and their embarkation. Ine
officers at Tampa have recommended tnat
future expeditions approaching any maeni-
tude be dispatched from some other city.
A board of army officers for the past
week has been examining various places
in the South with q view to their occupa-
ton for camping purposes, and 1t Is also
suggested that 1t may take occasion to
point out g desirable port for the embarka-
tion of the Porto Rico expedition. This
hoard will arrive here tomorrow morning,
and will fiuftiedly prepare its report for
the consideration Of the president.
Fernandina and Savannah are looked up
on with favor by the war department Of
f1ciais as suitable ports for the departure
Of the invading army, ana Charleston aiso
has been suggested.
rive transports now are at Fernandina,
viz: The Cbmanche, Knickerbockef,

are at New York.
Already, therefore, the department b
very well equipped with TRANSPORTS for

A CRUISER GOES ASHORE.
SAN Francisco Narrowly Escaped De.

tefaay Morning.

HIGHLAND LIGHT, MASS, June a.
The flagship San Francisco. with COM
nander Howell on board, wfile attempting
to round Cape Cod In a fog. went ashore
near High Head life saving station at I
o'clock this morning, but by the hard work
of the crew. who threw overheard a large
quantity Of coal and ballast, and the as
sistance Of FOUR tugs from Boston, she
came OF at o'clock tonight. apparently
unintured. The cruiser had been ont all
night and was making her way back into
Provincetown. The fog was very thick and
a light easterly wind was blowing. By
some means her navigation officer missed
the big fog whistle on Highland Light, On
ly few miles away. and, thinking the ship
well to the northward, ran her head round
to the westward. The ship struck head-on,
going at speed Of about eight knots.
The tide had ebbed about an hour, and
after an abortive attempt to back OH, Cap
tain Leaty gave up hope OF floating the
big cruiser at that time and sounded his
whistle for help. While waiting for the
tugs, the crew went to work On the coal
been taken aboard some weeks ago at
Provincetown.
During the afternoon the tugs Elsie, Mer-
curry, Juno and Fred B. Da1xell arrived
from Boston. After few minutes pull
ing, a perceptible tremor shook the ship
and she slipped back into deep water. The
entire crew assembled on deck and cheered
wildly.
A hurried examination did not disclose
any injuries to the ship, and It is probable
that she will not have to be dry docked.
The San Francisco at once started for
Provincetown.
The escape OF the valuable warship from
utter destruction was due to favorable
weather and the untirihg exertions Of the
crew.

NEW YORK, June ia dispatch to the
Herald from Mole st. Nicholas. Hayta,
says:
The merchantmen captured by the auxil-
iary cruiser st. Louis, just of Morant
Point, Jamaica, last Friday night. was the
British steamer Twickenham.
On board the Twickenham are $3.50 tons
of coal for the Spanish feet. She has been
sent as prize to Key West.
The captured steamer Is London vessel
which first went to Martinique. expecting
to effect junction with Admiral Cervera' 8
squadron at this island. The fleet had de-
parted before her arrival, and she was de-
tanned there as suspicious vessel BY the
French authorities. Word was brought to
Admiral Sampson that the Twickenham
had left Martinique en- Wednesday. The
st. Louis was Immediately dispatched to In
tercept her.
Twenty miles out of Kingston on Friday
night the st. Louis fell in with the Twick-
enham. The armed liner showed only the
green and red lights of a merchantmen, and
the collier kept right ahead on her north
ward course toward Guantanamo, where
she hoped to be able to find some means Of
getting her coal to Admiral Cervera's ships
in the harbor Of Santiago.
Coming into close range, the st. Louis
surprised the collier by sending a shot
across her bow. The Twickenham. instead
Of stopping, put on full steam and tried to
get away.
Quickly overhaulfhg the EnElishman. the
St. Louis fired again. The captain of the
collier seeing fight was impossible, hove
to and was boarded by q boats crew from
the St. Louis.
The British captain at first made vigor-
Gus denial that he was carrying coal for
the Spanish fleet. His vessel was searched,
however, by the men from the st: Louis.
In the hreroom man in overalls was
found who spoke only Spanish. After a
vigorous cross-examination by Captain
Goodrich. of the st. Louis. this man ad-
mitted that he was a Spanish officer in
charge Of the cargo. On the approach OF
the st. Louis he had thrown his papers and
commission overheard. He appeared to be
badly scared at the way things had turned
out. He was sent as a prisoner of war to
Key West on board the captured steamer.
