Swedish Company Makes Bid for a
Big Contract,
NEW YORK, Nov "a dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The Navy Department has practically
decided to abandon wrecking opera
tions under existing contracts on the
Spanish cruisers Cristobal Colon, Viz
caya and Almirante Oquendo near San
tiago, which have become GENEROUSLY
expensive to the Government. and 10
approve the recommendation in part
at least of Naval Constructor HobsOn
and other officers who have been sup
erintending the work of rescuing these
vessels.
This decision has been influenced to
some extent by the arrival in Wash
ington of representatives. of a great
Swedish wrecking corporation which
succeeded in rescuing the British bat
tleship Howe from condition COM
parative with that of the Cristobal
Colon. and which points to a record of
45Uv ships which it has eXtricated
from more or less serious positions,
nearly all of them submerged at con-
siderable depths. This company, il APP
pears, is not only confident of it's abili-
ty to bring the Cristobal Colon and
the other Spanish vessels to the United
States. but is ready to guarantee the
delivery of the Maine in the big dry
dock at the New York Navy Yard.
The Swedish wreckers propose to take
all the risks of failure without expense
to the Government and to rely if they
succeed for compensation wholly on
arbitration
