at 1 this port jfroin Jamaica; brings
,aews of an outrage suffered by that
vessel at the hands of the Span
ish government. While discharging
nargo on her Outward trip (from New
fork at Airoyi, Porto Rico, the Span-
rth: cuslcms officials discovered that
wrenty packages of corn starch which
vere masked on the vessel's manifest
vere missing! After an extended
search tee goods could not be found
nd the vessel was seiied by the
Spanish authorities who . held hei
untd a fine of $4,000 was paid,
alth6ugh the value of tb goods in
question j did not exeeeeV $20. i The
master and crew were forced to suffer
many indignities at the hands of the
Governor of the island and the offi
his authority.
Lhe authorities onered to settle t he
matter jf the captain of the vesifcii
could satisfactorily explain the where
abouts of the missing packages. Af ter
the fine had ben paid it ;Was ascer
tained that thf missing goods had
been delivered ! by mistake ou bo&rd
the ship Joseph us, which lay1 . next to
he Josef a in New York. 1
f An Explanation was made to the
Spanish authorities and the retuen cf
the fine. was requested but was re
fused, and the vessel left Porto Rioo
to load cargo elsewhere for this city.
The managingj owner of the Josef a
has filed a complaint . against the
Spanish government with Secretary
Bayard and asked that his immediate
attention be given to the matter. It
will be urged that the warships Ga

tinue their cruise to - Porto Rico and
summarily secure redress for the im
