Galveston, Texas. January is.--The Brit
ish steamship Arthur Head, Captain Scam
te,bury. which arrived here last Thurs
day from Port Limon. Costa Rica, without
consular bill of health. has been fned
$4,000.
The captain had no idea until he arrived
here that there was any thing wrong with
his papers. He had instructed tho ship
broker at Port Limon to get his bill OF
health. and tho broker got one for him,
but II was hllNd out on wrong blank
and was not signed by the American csn-
sui ut that port. Tho bill OF health the
captain got was signed by the functionary
known At Port Limon rs the captain Of
the port"
Collector Lee notified the authorities at
Washington Of the case and he received
word that the Ane must be paid. Accord
ingly the agents OF the vessel have paid
over to tho collector 5000. That releases
the vessel. Now the owners Will lay the
facts before tho treasury department and
ask for suspension OF the fine and a re-
turn OF tho money.
The Arthur Head Is consigned to the
Texas Transport and Terminal company.
There Is little doubt that the treasury de-
partmcnt will refund the fne, but It will
take some time and considerable corre-
spondence. M I'D
