NOT AMERICAN VESSELS.

80 Port Townsend, Wash, Dec, 29.-7Ihe
purchase of foreign vessels by the United
StGtes government for use as transports
during the Spanish-American war. and
their subsequent sale by the government
to private citizens, has resulted in compli-
eating matters for the purchasers from
the fact that after purchase of such yes
sells the government refuse to allow them
to be documented in the United States
rs American vessels. The case in point
is the steamship Sciopo, which was, re-
Gently sold by the navy department and
was ,afterward refused Recommendation.
The purchasers applied to the secretary
Of the treasury asking that if he should
1bleak the Seiopo up whether the material
of which she was constructed would be
subject, to- duty if sold i'm the United
States.
Yesterday Collector Heustisi received a
circular letter covering the above case
from the treasury department, in which
Acting. Secretary .Spaulding says that
upon the sale of said vessel in port Of
the United States the material or mate
rails taken therefrom would not be re-
garded as an importation within the
meaning of the custom laws and would
therefore be exempt from duty. n}f.5 1.s)l
