battleship Ohio, in drydock at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, and every one
leaving the ship in closely watched

to have aboard costly ornaments from
China and Japan, together with fine
silks, cigars and wines of rare vin-
tage.
it was declared that the kit and
bunk of every one of the 734 men and
the 75 marine,, were searched; also
the cabins and effects of the 24 offi-
cers. The agents went far enough to
discover the biggest lot of struggled
goods that over came over on a Gov-
ernment ship, so far as the public
has been informed.
