SAN PEDRO. November 2O.-The
Amcrican.Haw steamship compa-
my steamer Nebraskan is loading at
Sallna Cruz for this port, this being
the first vessel Of that line to make
this a port Of call, all the freight car
/ ried by that company for Los Angeles

The oceanic RECT,
SAN FRANCISCO, November 1S.-
The rumor has been circulated dur
ing the past few days that the Oceanic
steamer Mariposa has been sold or
will be sold to the Guggenheims, to
be used between Alaska and Seattle
/ no confirmation Of the story could be
obtained from the officials of the
company.
It is known that agents of the Gug-
genheims have been visiting the city
and investigating the chances of buy
/ ing steamer fOi some weeks and it is
said that an option, at least, has been
obtained on the Mariposa.
Since the Union Steamship Company
entered the AOrangi and Natal on the
run between this city and the anti
podes via Tahiti, which for some years
past was only touched out of this
city by the Mariposa, it has been pre-
dicted that the Oceanic company would
soon stop this service.
AS the repairing and practical re-
building of the Ventura and Sonoma
are being rushed, it is expected that
these vessels will be ready to go into
commission during the latter part OF
March.
AS yet the company has withheld
any announcement of the service these
ships will enter 1t is now rumored
that, together with the Sierra, these
vessels will be placed on a run be
tween this port and Australia, via Ho
noulu.
1t is believed that if this program
is followed, the fleet will handle no
T. only large cargoes of freight, but al
so a large passenger business. Tn,
j. Mariposa, it is said, will take at leas
two more trips to Tahiti even if tn,
story of her sale is true.
