The United States transport McPherson ran aground in fog eight miles west of Matanzas, was taken off passengers, and by afternoon a heavy easterly wind drove her broadside to shore. A large hole opened amidships, fires quenched, engines shifted, and the shaft sprung, making rescue unlikely as she rolls in heavy seas and is expected to disappear before morning.
