The hull of the United States has been
raised by the Underwater and 'towed to
Cincinnati Tor repairs. It is probable
that she viii DO rebuilt, rs she sunk
| before the fire reached her hull, and
the only damage it has sustained was from
the collision with the America. Her ma
chinery Is IN fair order, and can be easily re-
paired. II was found that the America
struck her only about four feet an of the
stern, and cut through the kelson. This
damage can, therefore, be easily repaired.
The hull is otherwise in splendid condition,
having been built but a short time.
