carried horses and freight. were released
yesterday and turned back To their own

Seneca. and Admiral Sampson arc now
on their way back TO New York from
Havana. and their contracts will tcrmi-
nate upon their arrival IN por1'
Tho fact that the department is letting
these ships go indicates that there is no
expectation of having TO send more men

government transport on the Atlanta
coast, and the four ships which are On
their way home from the Philippines ere
still long distance from New York. The
