Brings Sugar and Cement.
The steamship Seminole OF the Brit
ish division OF John d. Rockefeller's
great navy arrived yesterday with
cement from Moji and sugar from Ilo-
ilo. The Seminole was here during the
unpleasant happenings OF last April.
She took from here cargo Of Standard
OIL to Calcutta. Her return cargo con-
sists Of 5000 tons Of sugar and zoo tons
OF cement. Although an oil carrier, the
CGELllOAG DullS GOd4s AlAdL A0Cl DSln6
cheaper than oil in Calcutta, where
she takes into her bunkers about 5000
tons, enough to last her until she re-
turns TO the Indian port. She carries
crew Of Lascars and her officers are
paid on the modest scale that rules in
the British merchant marine. The
operating expenses are reduced to
minimum and herein lies the reason for
the Standard Oil Company having so
many of its ships under the British
flag. The Seminole encountered fine
weather from Moji, making the run in
twenty days at an average speed Of a
little better than ten knots an hour.
The Ashtabul another of Rockefeller's
tankers, arrived on Saturday and few
hours after the Seminole anchored the
Winnebago. also of the Standard Oil
feet, was reported outside.

plans for two steamers to be built soon

after the Berkeley and will have about
the same carrying capacity. They will
have greater draught, however; more
powerful engines and will be able TO
show their heels to anything in the
ferryboat line that plies in these
tight bulkheads they will be rendered
practically unsinkable and will be
equipped with a fre-fighting apparatus
which will render them coniagration
proof.
