pOel a Letter on the Subject.
NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Aaron J. Van
pOel this morning received from Secre.
tary Whitney an informal letter, in which
the latter stated that the government
ships would be finished in the Roach yards

The latter would meantime complete the
inventories and receive the appraisal of
Mr.. ROach's assets from a board of five,
