RIG DAMAGE SUIT STARTED.
BY Owners Of steamship Republic
Florida Seized by Attachment
Writ.

NEW YORK. Jan. 2S.-Counsel
for the Oceanic Steam Navigation
Co., owners of the White Star line
steam Republic, today filed a libel
in the United States district court
against the steamer Florida of the
Lloyd Italian line for damages am
ounting to million five hundred
thousand dollars for loss of the ship
and $500. 900 for the loss of the car
go and the effects of the passengers
and crew.
It was asserted in the libel that the
collision was due to no fault on the
part of Capt. Sealby of the Republic.
but wholly the fault # the Florida,
which, it is alleged. did not keep in
her proper course. bad no sufficient
lookout, did not give the proper whis-
ties and did not pay any heed to the
whistles of the Republic; that the
Florida failed to indicate her changes
of helm, that she was proceeding at
an immoderate speed and did not
stop or back her engines; that the
Republic was running at a regulated
speed, that the captain, two officers,
quartermaster and seaman were on
the bridge with two lookouts.
