SEIZED SHIPS
German Craft Found in
Good Shape-Austrian
Badly Damaged.

Machinists and boilermakers dur
ing the past few days have been busy
making surveys in the engines and
boiler rooms of the three foreign
steamships, at anchor in the harbor,
and which have been in custody of
the United States government dur
ing the past week or more. Watch
men are on each ship all the time,
and the United States flag flies
throughout the day on each of the
vessels.
The government, it is reported, is
looking forward to using the sea-
worthy steamer within a short time.
For the past several days quite a
force of experts in their respective
lines have been making careful ex-
aminations' of the machinery and
boilers, and yesterday Captains Leu
ders and Bean, inspectors of steam
boat hulls and boilers, arrived and
during the day both of the federal
inspectors went out to the steamers,
and will be in position within day
or so to make official report of the
conditions of the respective steamers.
1t is said that, except for barnacles,
the German steamers are in fairly
good condition. A boiler patch is
said to have been found missing
from one of the vessels, but this may
easily be replaced, it is said, and
steaming possible. On the Austrian
steamer, however, it is reported that
the machinery has been seriously dis
arranged and damaged, and that il
will require considerable work before
the Lucia is ready for service.

Important measures occupied the

suffrage in the senate, and free
school books and tax commission in
the house. After a lengthy debate,
the free book bill passed by Sc. to AZ.
A similar bill is in the senate and
will be acted upon Tuesday. Repre-
sentative Johnson, of Escambia, made
spirited defense of the bill in the
house, being opposed by Jennings, of
Duval. The bill creates a state fund
raised by the levy of one-half of one
mill, for the purchase of school books,
standardized, for the use of all
school children in free schools.
Tax Commission Doomed.
The tax commission bill, upon
which the house acted, provided for
the granting of more power to the
commission. Motion to strike the en-
acting clause was sustained and the
bill killed. A bill for the abolition of
the commission is now pending, and
