Cincinnati, Dec. 3.-More than half

Philadelphia, Dec. 3-The United
States transport Prarie. which went
aground last night in Delaware river
thirty-five miles south of this city
while enroute to Central America
with 700 marines on board, is still in
the mud and the prospects are that
the vessel will remain there until the

transport is lying easy in the soft
mud and has thus far sustained no
damage. There is little wind and the
river. which is quite wide at that
point, is smooth.
A determined effort was made to
float the Prairie at high tide at 4
o'clock this morning, but the three
tugs that pulled on her were unable
to move the vessel an inch. The
failure Of the tugs to free the vessel
was q great disappointment to Admir-
al Kimball and Captain kellogg, as
both officers had confidently believed
the Prairie would be floated on the
morning tide.
