THE wINKELMAN's CARGO.
As might be expected, the damage to the
burned steamer Mary Winkeman, will
prove very light, and the tugboats Of the
two interested companies may not put in a
salvage bill at all. If such an accounting is
demanded, 1T will not be of an exorbitant
or peremptory character. When the crew
came to clear the cargo at section of the
seawaii yesterday. morning it was found
that the masts and sails of the vessel had
been scarcely touched. In the forepart of
the vessel it was found that 100 bales Of hay
had been partly spoiled by water, and 60 thor
oughiy soaked. Some damage had also
been done to 10 sacks OF barley. There
was nothing but hay and grain in the for
ward hold. The Mary WiDkelman is so
little damaged that she will probably pro-
