Berth for French Steamer.

At the harbor masters office yes
terday, announcement was made that,
Npon arrival, the French steamship
Omnium should be berthed on the
west side of Commandments wharf,
where the imported cargo of mahog-
any logs from West African ports
will be discharged. The steamer is
a large vessel. It is possible that
she will go to New Orleans for cargo.
Looking For Another Steamer.
The American steamship VIM. I'll.
Murphy, loaded with cargo Of
mahogany logs from Nicaraguan
ports, was expected to put into port
last evening, but up to late hour
had not been sighted. The Murphy
upon arrival will occupy the usual
anchorage at the east side of Jeffer-
son street wharf.
The Tarpon Arrives.
Arriving from a weekly trip down
the coast, the steamer Tarpon put
into the bay at an early hour yester-
day morning, steaming over to one
of the railroad docks during the fore
noon and discharging a quantity Of
naval stores brought here from down
the coast points. The Tarpon will

for Mobile.
Two Foreign Arrivals.
Two more vessels reached port
yesterday from foreign points. The
British steamship Eustace, from
Liverpool, arrived for bunker coal,
and went up to quarantine for fumi-
cation. The Eustace will probably
be released today to steam over for
fuel supply, which will be awaiting
her arrival at Muscogee wharf. The
other vessel which arrived is the
American schooner Jos. B. Cooper,
which put in from Caibarien, Cuba,
for cargo. Upon arrival it was
thought that because of the absence
Of topmasts, the schooner had encoun-
tered a late storm. The topmasts,
however, were carried away in the
October storm, and Captain Beau
champ said yesterday that he had not
yet had the time to make repairs.
This win be looked after on the oc-
casion of his next trip, he promised
All Ships in Port for Cargo.
Within the past few days eight ves-
sells have arrived from foreign ports,

cargo. When six Of them entered and
one cleared at the Pensacola custom
house yesterday the officials there
had all they could do to properly
attend to each master of ship who
|, presented his papers to the window.
All vessels were entered, however.
The Conway in Stream.
Anchored in the stream, and ready
for cargo of sawn timber, the British
Asteamship Conway will start loading
Monday morning, taking sawn tim
Der from the water if the weather
is favorable. Later during the week

Der win be loaded. The steamer win
