A dispatch from New York. says the
steamship Muriel of the Quebec Steam
ship Company, arrived at New York Fri
day from Sagua la Grande, Cuba, after
a lively experience with Florida wreck
ers. The steamer stranded on Tennessee
Reef on the night of March II, but was
assisted off by wreckers, and arrived at
Key West the day following. She was
not seriously injured, but the wreckers
Hbeled her in the admiralty court for $23-
600 salvage. Capt. Halliburton said that the
ship should rot at Key West before he
would pay any such sum. The men had
worked only eight hours, discharging
some of the cargo of sugar, and he
thought their claim unjust. After re-
naming in port ten days the American
Sugar Refining Company which owned
the cargo, telegraphed that it must have
its consignment, so Capt. Halliburton COM
promised with the wreckers for S10 400,
which made the compensation to the sal
vers 81 300 an hour, nearly $50 a minute.

and finally the matter was carried to the
Florida supreme court, and decided
last year. This decision was against the
validity of the grant, and as the water
front is now occupied by wharves stores,
warehouses, etc, the question has become
one of great Importance. Several weeks
ago the board of city commissioners ap-
nOinted a special committee to investigate
the title of the city to this property. This
committee reported at a meeting of the
hoard Friday night that they were unanf-
