FOUR SHIPS ARRIVE,
ONE CLEARED, AND
ONE GOES TO SEA
TWO STEAMERS FOR BUNKER
COME INTO PORT FOR SUPPLY
OF BUNKER, WHILE OTHER
VESSELS ARE FOR CARGO.

Shipping transactions were rather
lively yesterday, with four vessels ar
rivink, one clearing and one going to
sea. Two of the steam vessels which
arrived are small vessels flying the
flag of Sweden, and one of the sailing
vessels also displays those colors,
while the fourth arrival is that of a
bark, the Port Sonaehan, flying the
flag of Uruguay.
It was noticeable along the water
front what prominence was given the
Swedish flag during the day. The
two steamers which came into port
are the Vidar and the Mode; the bark
which arrived is a Swedish vessel, and
the steamer which put to sea is also
one Of the Swedish merchantmen.
The steamers which reached port
came from Galveston, where they
loaded cargo. Both came for bunker
coal and will be ready to go to sea
at an early hour this afternoon.
The Port Sonachan came from
Havana, while the Swedish bark
Sigyn arrived too late to be officially
reported. Her last known port was
Chatham, N. B., or at least that is
the port she was lately reported from.
The steamer Aida, after remaining
at anchor for several days in the
stream, yesterday furnished bail, and
put to sea. This steamer had been
attached by owners of the schooner
Goldfeld, which ,collided with the
steamer, and which was towed from
Galveston oMobile recently by the
steam tug e. L. Russell.
