INTERESTING.

Aletter from gentleman belonging to
Boston, and dated 1t the " CASTLE Of St.
Joseph, Vilparisar, in Chill, April 20,
1906" says, lam happy to inform you
that We are all well, though prisoners
On our arrival here it was rumoured we
were English, and the idle story had cree
dit with the Governor, who demanded
our papers, and sent them to the captain
general Of Chill, residing at St. Jago.--
After waiting six weeks the governor in-
formed captain Rowan his papers we're
ready to bereturned to him, on his deli
vering up $50 muskets he had on board.
Captain Rowan informed the Governor
he couldnot comply with so unjust de-
mand until some higher power directed
it. Upon whiek the Governor ordered
the ship tobe hailed, and informed, that
unless the demand was Immediately COM
+ piled with, he should sink us. On this,
captain r. ordered the colours to be
nailed to the mizen-mast-and the Spa
nish ship Hercules fred shot into US
which did no damage. Matters continu-
ed in this state Until the next day, when
capt. r. was informed BY letter, that it
was the Captain Generals orders to deli
yer UP said arms-upon which they were
givenup. This was, supposed to be the
end Of the business. However on the
morning the list inst. the Hazard was
boarded by 200 men-worthy the name
Of brigandsLwhen a general carnage
took place. BY the iutelposition Of the
captain of a Spanish brig who appeared
the only man among thempossessing any
humanity, capt. RS life was spared. /
narrowly escaped, as they gave noqnarL
tiers. The Governor Of this port has re-
eeived the severest censure for this af-
Eir from the Captain General, who has
informed Capt. r. that every satisfaction
shall be given, both for the loss ofpro-
perty and for the blood split in so wanton
amanner. ..E-~,... a .s-s
They are ashamed and afraid to let the
mattergo to Europe. This is speci-
men Of Spanish bravery. My whole adj
venture has been piundered, but I have
no doubt Of receiving heavy damages.--
If satisfaetion should not be given, am
sensible the government Of = free and in-
dependent nation win notice il. There
are number Of Americans here, officers
and men. Three American Whalemen
were brought in this day. s p
