The German bark Izabela. Capt. Voss.
laden with Iogwood from Hayti for a Rus
sian port put in at Tybee leaking yester-
day II could not be learned last night
what damage she had suffered. as the yes
eel was anchored in the stream, and the
quarantine officers only made Inquiries
touching their official duties. The vessel
was held up at quarantine, though she will
be released in two days and allowed to
proceed 20 the city.
The Izabela arrived at the station at Il
o'clock yesterday morning. being forty
seven days out from Hayu. While her
pumps were working when she arrived, 1t
was understood the leaks were not seri-
Gus, though such as required prompt at
tention. Capt Voss telephoned to the
city during the day. and arranged for tow
ing up.
Capt. Davidson of the schooner will
liam H. Swan, which arrived in port dam
aged several days ago. has ordered such
supplies and equipment as he will need to
again fit his vessel for service. New
boats to replace those washed away have
been ordered from Philadelphia. and also
the necessary anchor chains. Other things
needed viii be ordered without delay. The
Swan has finished discharging coal at the
wharves of the Herman Coal and Wood

There is apparently some doubt as to
the practcabillty of the proposed scheme
to charter corporation for the purpose
of purchasing and consolida ting five of
the largest shipbuilding plants in the
United States. The concerns which the
syndicate intends to absorb are the VIII
liam Cramp & Sons Ship and Engine
Building Company of Philadelphia, the
Newport News Shipbuiding and Dry Dock
Company, the Union Iron Works of San
Francisco, the Columbia Iron Works OF
Baltimore, and the Bath (Me) Iron Works.
The five companies represent about 500
100000 Of invested capital
The dispatches are to the effect that the
recent coincidental opening of bids at
Washington for six cruisers looked like
there might have been some sort of I'M
derstanding. These bids were: Bath Iron
works, s1,041 $50; Union Iron Works, ST.
OIL 900, or only $3.50 hlgehr than the Bath
offer; Lewis Nixon, Ellzabethport. s1,O99,-
$685. or 1884 less than the highest.
A move in this direction may meet with
the opposition of the Cramps. the elder of
whom has expressed the opinion that a
combine to squeeze the government would
fail because the government would go
elsewhere for It's war vessels For this
reason he thinks the concerns could oper-
ate better competing.
