QUESTION OF TRANSPORTS. Moving Troops and Stores to Porto Rico Occupy Officials' Attention. Washington. July 18. The question of ttnnsports for the Porto Rico expedi tion nnd that of providing subsistence for the army which Is to go there was the topic which occupied the attention of officials of the quartermasters' and the subsistence departments of tho nimy during the entire afternoon. Theie are ample tiunsports available scattered all along the Atlantic nnd gulf coasts nnd nt Santiago nnd these will be concentrated as rapidly us pos sible at the embarking points. Subsist ence stores also nre abundant at some of the points from which the troops nro to start and these will be supnll mented by additional supplies as fast as they are needed. A vast quantity will be shipped fiom Newpoit News and oiders have been given for dis patching to that plice 6,000,000 pounds of these stores nnd 200,000 pounds of refrigerated beef. The olJlclnls of tho department were busy stu lying the map of Porto Rleo with' n view among other things of determining the most nvalluble pert at which to send the nrmy and the sur plies. They would not nay, however, which one had been selected. It was suggested In some quarters that the army might land on the southern roust near the city of Ponce, to tho southwest of San Juan. Ponce Is situated on a plain about two miles from the seaboard, Is the residence of tho military cemmander of the district and Is commercially the tecond city of Importance on the is'and. A fine road leads to the poit (Playa) where s situated the custom house, tho offices c' the captain of the port and all consular officers. The jort is spacious an I wil' hold vesse a at 25 foot draft, an Important consid eration in the landing. The city proper has no military defences, but In the hills to the north of the town u series of earth entienchments have lately been constructed. West of Ponce, where the railroad and mili tary road touch the ehore, earth works have been constiucted to guard this strategic point. There are nbout thirty mountain Howitzers In Ponce avull al lc for the defencj of ilu city ".ltd the railroad. Ine cniv If lar- l"I tho: would be compelled to travel fifty or s xty mlies acors the mounta.nous country to reach San Juan. There is, however, a main road, iriegular and circuitous, connecting Ponce nnd San Juan. The northern coast of the Isl and extends in an almost straight lino from east to west and Is high and rugged. The only harbois It has are the following: San Juan sunounded by mangrove swamps nnd protected by the Cabias nnd the Cabrltne Islands and some very dnngerous banks; the anchoring ground of Arecibo somewhat unpro tected and which has been mentioned as a possible; landing place, and tho coves of Cangrejos and Condado. Dur ing the present season the ports of this coast aie safe and commodious un less visited by hurilcanes. MAY SAVE CERVERA'S SHIP. The Cristobal Colon Also Likely to Be Added to Our Navy. Off Santiago, July 17, via Guantana mo. Captain Cook of tho Brooklyn Is authority for the statement that the former Spanish flagship, the Infanta Maria Teresa, had floated off tho leef on w hlch she stranded nnd that her heavy armament Is practically unin jured. The captain says also that the cruiser Is llkelv to be saved and form an addition to the United States navy, a trophv of the glorious July 3, 1S9S. The Cilstnbal Colon may also be saved, thouch much depends on tho weather, which Is very uncertain at this time of the ear. A heavy storm mlEht drive the vessel so high on the coinl reef that It would be Impossible to float her. Many naval men aie outspoken In their criticism of the tteatment of the Colon immediately after her surrender. They believe the ship could have been saved when she slipped back from tho reef into deep water had divers, car penters and machinists with a com petent prize ctew been sent on board of her. The crew of the Brooklyn regarded the Vizcaya as their particular enemy, since the time when they were both present at Queen Vlctoila's Jubilee, when there wns much comment abioad on what a good light might be expected between the two ships If they ever met. Of the four big shirs which were In Admiral Cervera's fleet only two nio doomed to destruction. They aie tho Vizcaya and the Almlrnnte Oquendo, and those, ns u coincidence, were tho two cruisers which went into Havana harbor after the blowing up of the Mnine.and were mooted near tho wteck of the United States battleship. In all the bravery of paint, gilding and bunt ing seeming to gloat over the tulit, while the people of Havana fihnuted themtielves hoarse, tired myriads of bombs, nnd bragged unceasingly of what the two formidable armored cruisers of Spain would do with the United States navy, should ever a fair fight be possible. "Surely," remarked Lleutennnt Com mander Walnvvilght of the Gloucester, formerly of the Maine, "this avenges the Maine." SPANISH COAST ATTACK.
