The cruiser San Francisco, the mine
depot ship Of the United States navy
has been ordered to proceed from
Portsmouth via Boston and Norfolk, 20

issued few days ago and which would
have sent the big cruiser to Mexican
waters for an indefinite stay. The
cruiser is to leave Portsmouth lHnms-
diately and after making stops In
Boston and Norfolk for the purpose Oh
taking on supplies and coal, will come
on TO Pensacola, arriving on Decem4
Der %.
The wives of officers who arc on
duty aboard the San Francisco have
written to Pensacola and reserved
rooms for an indefinite period. This
means that the vessel is likely 20 re-
main in the harbor throughout tho
winter.
HARTFORD ALSO COMING.
The training ship Hartford is also
under orders to proceed to Pensacola,
and like the San Francisco the length
OF her stay is indefinite. According
to the orders issued two weeks ago
the Hartford should arrive here with
