I LARGE SHIPS BOUGHT. Important Addition to the War De lia rtinrnt’a Dint of Trnnnport*. Washington, June 26. —An important addition to hte war department’s list of vessels available for transport duty and freight service was announced yesterday. This was the purchase of eight large ships of over 3,600 tons burden each for use on the Atlantic coast. Heretorfore the practice of the war department has been to charter all tin* vessels which it has used, and the anouneement of the acquisition of ships by purchase is distinctly a new departure In the policy of the govern ment, due it is believed to the fact that the owners and agents of the various companies heretofore have asked such high prices. It was authoritatively stated that impressment of ships on the Atlantic coast would not be resort ed to but that such as were desired would be obtained in some other way. It is understood that the purchase price of the ships was approximately $4,000,000. ALL WELL ON ROARD. Tranaporl* Spoken by the Steamer San Francisco, June 26.

Charles Hey wood, commandant of the marine barracks, was very prouil of his boys when t*e repd this letter, ami took occasion to denounce the using 02 brass bullets by the Spaniards, ref erence to which is made in the letter. ‘‘Our forces,” it says, “up to this hour, June l(i, have killed or wounded or oaptim*d more than 000 Spaniards. Our total loss lias been six killed and fourteen wounded. Among the anus captured from the Spaniards wore one Remington riilt* and two styles ot Mauser; also a lot of pure brass cart ridges (bullets), which, as you know, are forbidden in civilized warfare.

Officers of the Advance troops believe tin* city will have l»een taken within forty-eight hours after that. Surgeon Lamotte, Color Sergeant Wright and j Trumpeter Piatt, of rough litltis, planted tin* AiiieiicuU flag Oil Wednesday evening on the summit of 1 Mount Losiltires, in full view of Hie 1 American fleet. It \ns a magnificent spectacle, as Americans and Cubans cheered the colors, while the vessels of Hie fleet joined in with joyous blasts from their whistles. During the bom bardment of Wednesday some of the Cuban troops were taken for Span iards and two of the Cubans were wounded. A Spanish garrison of ir»() men at Baiquiri, commanded by Col. Roderoguez, evacuated the fortifica tions on Wednesday. They fled with such haste that they left behind sev eral important papers. One dispatch addressed to Gen. Linares informed him that the battery could resist the whole American fleet. WORD FROM SHAW. The Knftlsn Writes Ilia Parent* From Goiintannmo. Minneapolis, June 26 —The first word received by Lieut. Melville J. Shaw’s family direct from him since lie lauded in Cuba, came yesterday. It was a let ter dated at Guantanamo, June 13, 4:30 p. m., the day before the last great fight In which th%marines sallied out from their entrenchments and at tacked the Spaniards in their own po sition. whipping them so soundly that they haven’t ventured to attack Hit* marine camp since. Lieut.

Tin* war is to be carried Into Africa, metaphorically speaking, if Spain is foolhardy enough to send the radix tleet through the Suez Canal to attack Dewey In the Philippines. It is announced on good authority that before the last Spanish vessel has passed through the canal an American squadron will l>e steaming at full speed across tin* Atlantic, straight for the coast of Spain to bring tin? war home to the Spanish people. There is no doubt that Dewey can take care of himself against the Cadiz fleet since his own squadron will he reinforced by ironclads long before Camara’s ships sight the bay of Ma nila, and he will have the shore batter ies with him instead of against him in the struggle. Put it has been conclud ed by the administration that nothing but tin* most severe measures will suffice to bring the Spanish people to a realization of the hopelessness of the Contlnuunce of tli<* War, and even kindness, it is said, com mands such a blow as it is proposed to administer if the Spanish persist in this project. After the fall of Santiago and tlie capture or destruction of Cer vera's squadron Sampson will have an abundance of vessels to spare for the task set for him. Promptly he will constitute the attacking fleet in two squadrons, the tirst a flying squadron to be composed of the swiftest vessels of the fleet, such ns the Columbia. Min neapolis.

However, the general lias the reputation here of being a man of deeds rather than words, and of not being given to over many official re ports.

The war depart ment allows three days for the trip, two days to unload and three days to return to Newport News, making eight days. By that time (Jen.
