SAVED BY THE CINCINNATI.
Transport No. 81 Came Near Getting
Under San Juan's Guns.

Transport No. p, the last Of the big
steamers to leave Charleston for Porto
Rico. lost her way in the Porto Rican
waters and came very near being de-
stroyed by the big guns of San Juan.
The transport No. y sailed Friday
last with the Sixteenth Pennsylvania to
Join the Grand Duchess and the No. 30
with the two Wisconsin regiments off
the coast of Porto Rico. The No. y
sailed q hours after the two other
transport. The difference of time in
the sailing OF the two expeditions pro-
baby accounted for the separation Of
the vessels, and the great danger the y
incurred in approaching too near the
Porto Rican coast. The No. q was
rescued from her perilous position on
last Tuesday night by the cruiser Gin
cinnati. and she was then placed on the
way to meet the other vessels Of the
expedition.
She came near getting under and be-
ing destroyed by the big S-inch krupp
guns which defend Porto Rico. Her
loss would have been serious blow to
the government. There were about
1.500 mel On board 1,200 horses and
mules. and great quantities. Of provisions
and supplies for the army. In her car
90 was lot Of supplies for the Second
brigade. which were shipped at Newport
News. The First brigade. as we'll rs the
