Developments at noon today in the
German refugee merchant steamer
situation were these: .e
The board of harbor commissioners
was to meet at 1880 this afternoon in
special session to decide whether to
move the Pommern and Setos away
from the territorial wharyes at which
they now lie.
On good authority it was learned
this morning that members of the
board favor making public thereto uE-
known changes between territorial of.
ficials and representatives of H. Hack
field & Company, in which the repre-
sentatiyes declared there would be no
difficulty about getting bond. Also
It was stated that the board wants to
know the foundation for assurances
from these same representatives that

No instructions we're received this
morning by Harbormaster William r.

steamers outside but that he would
not allow armed guards to be put
aboard the vessels again until instruc'
tons are received from Washington
what to do. He said he has received
no cables since the one of two weeks
ago directing him to remove the
guards.

in letters printed by the Star Bulletin

would be safe and suitable place is
stated in the opinion OF Thompson,

proposed by the harbor board for in

vessels

is as follows:
