Department. There seems to be no
doubt that this expedition, il it approach
es the first in magnitude, will be sent
from the east coast of the United States
The experience in embarking the first
expeditions from Tampa has demon
strated to the war officials that the
ports where the railroad and other fa-
cilities are more adequate than at
Tampa are much more desirable places
for the concentration of troops and
their embarkation. The officers at
Tampa have recommended that future
expeditions approaching any magnitude
be dispatched from some other city. A
board of army officers for the past
week has been examining various places
in the South with view to their occu
patton for camping purposes and it is
also suggested that it may take occasion
to point out desirable port for the
embarkation of the Porto Rico eXpedi-
ton. The board will arrive here to-
morrow morning and will huTrledly pre-.
pare its report for the consideration Of
the President. Fernadinu and Savannah
are looked upon with favor by the War
Department officials as suitable ports
for the departure of the invading army.
and Charleston also has been sug-
gested
Five transports are now at Fernandina,
viz: The Comanche. Knickerbocker,
Louisiana, the Gale City and the City
of Macon. The Catania and the
Arcadia were at New York two days
ago and the Lampaseas and the Nueces,
of the Mallory Line, whose charters have
been about closed by Assistant Secretary
Miklejohn, are at New York. Already,
therefore, the Department is very well
equipped with transports for the second
invading army.
