Tho Trouble on the "rroop.o

Some sailors of the ship "Troop"
loading for the port Of New York at
the Oceanic deck, iudulged last
evening in unknown quantities OF
up town bug juice, On getting
aboard their vessel (three in num-
ber), they became very quarrelsome
and had to be reprimauded by the
ships officers.
Their wrath apparently was chief
ly directed against the cook, who
had previously reported to his supe-
riors that "grub" from his galley
had lately disappeared from his
quarters during bis absence.
He had good reasons for suspect
ing certain men OF the crew. One
OF the guilty parties being among
the gang last night over -burdened
with a jag and strong temper. A
few hot words from both sides
started last nights disgrsceful pro-
ceedings.
The mate, second mate and many
OF the crew took active parts in a
full aud free fight on the deck of
the Troop. Delaying pins and other
missiles being indiscriminately used,
but with no special mention Of
the "Potato hanger" or capstan
bars. Captain and mate sternly
denysthe use Of such in the trouble.
The general hubbub, however, at
tracted the notice of the custom 5
officials and with them the police
appeared upon the scene and quick
ly quieted matters down, with the
result that the ringleaders were put
under arrest and taken to police
chambers.
Capt. Fritz visited tho Station
House immediately after the un-
pleasantness at about 2 o'clock in
the morning.
The offending sailors will remain
in Jail until the sailing OF their ship
