While passing Key Wet. during the
night, he was somewhat startled by having
suddenly cast upon his vessel the giant
rays from the searchlights of the American
walships stationed in these waters. The
illumination was maintained long enough
to have me name and flag OF his vessel
read by our navy. When asked as to the
probable time OF his departure, Captain
Sperling admitted that to be a question
neither he nor his agents could answer al
present as before he left the home port the
owners OF the vessel had intimated ID HIM
that The purchase of the ship by the Amer
lean navy department upon its arrival here
was very great probability; in fact so
much 30 that no definite arrangements hal
yet been made as TO its return cargo.
Captain Sporting this morning tele-
eraphed to the home office for information
as to the future disposition OF the Lauen-
berg and expects an answer today.
