REPORTS
MANY DREDGES
At PANAMA

Carrying general cargo and case oil
from New York TO Otaru and Hako-
date, Japan, by way of the Panama
Canal, the Japanese tramp steamer
HaTima MarJ, Capt X. Yamamoto, ar
rived this morning for bunkers and
will resume her voyage tomorrow
morning. She is locked at Pier Z.
Badly in need of paint, yarnish and
a general, overhauling, the Harima
took about twice as long to maneuver
alongside the dock as steamer in
good repair would. She failed TO an
swer the helm quickly, and nearly
butted the harbor end of the pier
when coming in; her winches worked
badly and she acted generally as if
there was something the matter in
the engine room. .-.
Cart. Yamamoto said his cargo is
1900 tons, and that he left New York
March 80 and Panama April &c. The
Harima is now owned by the Kobe
Pier Company, which bought the aged
vessel, built in 1885, from the Kishi-
moto Kisen Kaisha six months ago.
The skipper claimed the ship was
chartered six months ago by the
Standard coil Company at rate of
Is shillings a ten, which, If true,
means her owners are not getting
rich from this voyage.
Dredging Progressing.
There are half a dozen dredges at
work in Culebra Gut" said Capt.
Yamaneto, and about 40 barges
carrying away the dredged material.
NY ship draws 26R feet OF water. but
there was plenty of water in the cut
when we passed through"
Capt. YamaTnoto expects to be able
to make the voyage from this port to
Japan in 16 or II days with good
weather. The steamer has no pas
sengers. She left New York on the
same day as the Japanese steamer
Tenyru Maru, which Capt Yamomoto
says should arrive some time tomor-
row from Panama
