NASSAU, n. p, Nov. 1a.-The British
admiralty authorities here are going
to take possession of the Marie Teresa
as a derelict. The American consul has
protested against this course, claiming
everything less the salvage.
The steamer Antillia is leaving here
for Cat island with customs officers and
police on board.
Opinions differ as to the chance OF
saving the cruiser. Although she has
been aground since Thursday, the
Maria Teresa rests in an easy position
and the water is moderate.
Wreckers who have arrived here have
brought with them stores from the
stranded vessel off Cat island, which
established beyond doubt that she is
the Infanta Maria Teresa.
