THE ARMY Of INVASION
A Significant Order Issued by
the War Department.
CONCENTRATING THE TROOPS
Four Big Transports Ordered to
FernnndinO 10 Take on Troops
a Sweeping Blow Against the
Enemy ContempInted-POrt Rico
the Next Point Aimed At.

The most significant order yet issued
by the War Department concerning the
invasion campaign was made known yes
terday.
-Four large transports, the Louisiana, the
Comanche, the Gate City, and the City
of Macon, have been ordered to Fernan-
dino, Fla, to take on infantry, cavalry
and the necessary supplies.
This order was issued from the War
Department yesterday and is very urgent
in its directions.
The Gate City was ar Savannah; the
City of Macon at Boston, and the other
two, the Louisiana and Comanche, were
at New Orleans. They are now steaming
on their way 10 the appointed place Of
rendezvous.
Fernandino is on the east coast of
Florida, twenty-five miles from Jackson
vile. 1t possesses superior harbor facili-
ties for landing heavy transports and has
the further advantage of being within
easy marching distance of Jacksonville,
where the invading troops will be speedily
mobilized.
Maj. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee is now at jack
sonville. 1t would appear that he is to
be given command of the invasion. for
which these transports have been sum-
moned, and the objective point of the in
vasion is said to be Porto Rico.
This is not mere conjecture. 1t is the
logical deduction from q course of events
that have followed each other in swift
sequence, and which, although known to
the world. are apt to lose their proper
SfgnifiPa in tho pgcifPmpmt Gf N
anticipation.
The concentration of the Schley and
Sampson fleets at Santiago the immedi-
ate preliminary attack upon the harbor
fortifications, and the subsequent sink
ing of the Merrimac, all point to the fact
that preparations are being made for a
sweeping blow against the enemy.
Schley held the cork of Santiago harbor
for more than a week.
Then came action. Sampson acted un-
der orders in sinking of the Merrimac, as
a careful consideration of his official dis
patch will show. He also followed orders
in previously forcing the Spaniards to
show their strength.
That all this is significant cannot be
denied, but what the next move will be is
known to the directors of the war alone.
But following the course of events. con-
sidering the hasty preparations now being
Hiaue loT moving an lnNduihS army from
Fernandino, presumably for Porto Rico.
it must naturally occur to the follower of
war affairs that an entirely new move
is now formulating.
II is thought that, having effectually
buried Cervera at Santiago, the American
fleet viii again be divided. one-half-prob-
ably SIMPSONS command-to proceed at
once to Porto Rico and open the way to

Dead Body Is DiscOvered-Turns
ON the Gas Bnd Ends His Troubles.

Alexandra, Va, June 4.-Mr Richard
was found dead in room at the Hotel
Fleischmann, in this city, about 5 o'clock
this afternoon.
From letters found in his pocket it was
learned that Mr.. Fussel was engaged in
business at 1927 New York Avenue.
Washington, D. c. He called at the Hotel
Fleischmann about II o'clock yesterday
morning and in conversation with the
clerk stated that he had not had any
sleep for several nights.
He was assigned TO room No and
nothing more was heard of hir until
about 1880 last night, when he rang for
a pitcher of ice water. Shortly before 3
o'clock this afternoon Mr. Fleischmann.
who was unaware that Mr.. Fussel was
guest at the hotel, went to room No. Z
with some guests who arrived today.
He found the door locked and discovered
that the keyhole had been filled" from
the inside. When the door was forced open
Mr.. Fussels dead body was found lying
on the bed.
He had committed suicide by inhaiing
gas. He evidently deliberately planned to
end his life, and there is no doubt that
he came 10 this city for the purpose.
Before going to the hotel he purchased
piece Of rubber tubing and after attach
ing one end to the gas jet he placed the
other end in his mouth, securing it in po-
Eition by means OF his cravat, which he
tied at the back of his head.
bottle Of poison was also found in the
room, but it is not thought that he drank
any OF the drug
Coroner Purvis was notified and after
viewing the body ordered it removed TO
Mr. Demaine's establishment on King
Street. The body was embalmed and the
friends Of Mr.. Fussel in Washington Were
notified of the suicide.
The police received a message tonight
that a brother of the deceased would ar
rive here from New York tonight and
take charge of the body. The coroner
stated that he would not hold an inquest
unless requested TO do so by the friends of
e the deceased.
The times., 1898-06-05

The cause Of the suicide is unknown.
. A reporter for The Times called at the
home Of Mr.. Fussel, on Washington Cir
Gle, but was unable to obtain any infor-
= nation regarding the suicide. a gentle
man who lived in the house with the dead
man said that he did not know anything
other than that Fussel was found dead
AT hotel in Alexandria. He did not know
the name OF the hotel. 1t was stated that
his brother had gone to Alexandria and
would return in the morning. when all
the information that is obtained would be
made public.
Fussel has always borne an excellent
reputation among the business men of
this city and was never known TO have
any trouble. HIS business is in good con-
dition and the prospects were bright for
a successful season. Mr.. Fussel was a
man who always attended strictly TO bust
ness and his integrity was unimpeached.

Get There that they might save the steam
or fare on the return trip.
There was neither compass nor chart in
the Bessie. but the sailors thought that
Fletcher knew tho way. Ii soon developed
that all he knew about the course had
been gathered up on few trips between
ports on the City OF Kingston. They went
along all right TIL off White Rocks. at the
head OF San Juan island. Here the wind
faiied them and change IN the tide put
them In dangerous position. The tide
ran fully six miles an hour, ard the water
became very rough. They lowered the Bes-
sizes anchor, but Il did not hold. They were
drifting rapidly on the rocks and Owner
Fletcher thought his las, moment had ar
rived. Throckmorton pulled the Get There
up to the schooner and took off the two
men. They then rowed out OF danger. Jus;
before the Bessie had reached the rocks
the anchor caught and the ssoop was saved.
The rest Of the trip was without interest.

Lambert. a famous English diver:
The fish in some watcrh are. a hind
rance and are greatly diSliked by the
diver. Perhaps the divers worst foe is
the conger eel. This creature attacks
in swarms and Is most daring and ex-
ceedingly vicious. The congers bark
like dogs; and never hesitate in the
leaEt to bite man. !, 10. u.s.. :2

diver 10 US, was exposed for moment
while in the water, when one of these
fierce creatures made q dash for it and
took a large piece from the back of
the hand. 1t bled freely and l was
obliged to come up to the surface and
get it dressed" r~~--
But how about the sharks? Don't
you find them troublesome"
. Not very. You see, sharks are like
rats; leave them alone, and they run
away if they catch sight of you. Cor

But If you want shark story. can
give you one of Lambert's; he once had
thrilling fight with one at the bottom
Of the Indian ocean. He had been sent
to the island of Diego Garcia to fix cop
per sheets on coal bunk that had
been foulcd by steamer. and was an

same shark for nearly week
The monster was temporarily
scared away, however. every time
Lambert opened the escape valve in his
helmet and allowed some air to rush
out. One day Lambert sigHa!ed TO his
attendants for big sheath knife and
Topped rope.
Having these. Lambert used his
bare hand as a bait and waited until
the shark commenced 10 turn on its
