RELEASE or THE LAURADA.


The Steamer May be Given Her Liberty in
u Week or so-Argument Postponed.
The steamer Laurada, which has
been .hold here by The government for
some time, may be released in a week
or so. AZ the result OF an order of the
United States Court granted about two
months ago, the owners are preparing
TO give bond in the sum Of 81, 600 for
her release. 1t is understood that tho
American Surety Co. of New York will
60 on the bond. As soon as the papers
are made out they will be sent by Dis.
triet Attorney Vandearift to Washing
ton for the approval of the Department
Of Justice. This, in all probability,
will require week.
II the papers ara returned approved
it Is likely that the owners will then
be required to pay the costs, including
wharfage, amounting to 50, 1867, after
which the boat will, in all probability,
be released. 1t is understood that ar
engagements have been made to sell her,
either to parties Interested in ALASKAN
trade or to owners OF a Southern fruit
line.
In the United States Court Monday
morning the rule to show cause why
the. boat should not be sold was to have
come up for argument, but, on motion
OF III. IL. Ward, counsel for the owner
of the boat, the time for argument was
postponed until next Monday morning.
If, in the meantime. the release il
gtapted, it iu likely that District At
torney Vandegrift will ask for the with
drawal of the motion for an order to
sell the boat,
