The Spanish brig Amapala, a war prize
was sold Saturday at Port Tampa by
United States Deputy Marshal John Nc
Kay The vessel brought 800 cash,
which was rather surprising, as most peo-
pie thought that it would go at very low
price The truth of the matter is boats
of all kinds are needed here now, as the
opening up of the Cuban trade has created
strong demand for anything that can
navigate between Florida and Cuba. The
vessel was bid in for the amount named
by w. Z. Corning. IL developed later that
he was acting Cor Ira c. Reinheart, late
of Tennessee, who has recently moved to
Tampa. Mr.. Reinheart has already an
nounced that the vessel will be placed in
The freight and passenger trade between
Tampa and cuba in connection with 9TH
er vessels he controls. This is a new line
from a new source, and entirely unexpect-
ed TO Tampa. Several people are making
arrangements to place boats on to differ
ent ports, but this is a new one entirely.
A number of Greeks were present at the
sale and made a few bids on the boat
but il soon began to go up at a rate that
they did not evidently care to keep up
with. The bidding was far In excess of
what was expected.
