GuNB0AT WHEELING

And Marietta Accepted by tho Navy.
Slight Hitch for Some Time Owing TO
Overweight Machinery.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. e.-The
navy department to-day directed the
preliminary acceptance of the gunboats
Marietta and Wheeling, built by the
Union Works at San Francisco.
There has been some question as to
the acceptance of these boats, owing to
the fact that the machinery was over
weight, in which case the contract pro-
vlded for deductions from the price to
be paid. It was shown, however, by an
engineer examination, that the addition
al weight was attributable to the
changes in plans that benefited the ma
chinery and added to the speed of the
boats, so no deductions were made.
