a HORRIBLE MYSTERY.

New ORLEANS. JUNE 6, 1911
dreadful net Of either muIiny or piracy has been

few minutes Tor the mail
The ship Charles cleared few days since for
Ha,Te, and on Friday, the 4th instant, was fallen
IA with by one of our tow-boats about Elriy miles
from The Balize, without any body on board aud
fresh traces Of blood on her deck aud cabin. She
had iwenty-ihree cabin passengers, (some of them
ladies) principally our French shopkcopers going
TO make their annual purchases IN France, aud all
OF ihem' as usual, no doubt with considerable sums
OF specie, and | presume not less, together, than
SlUO.OOO. probably much more. The long boat
was missing, but the jolly-bOai was alongside. with
a dog IN IT, and a box of sarJines These circum-
stances. and the fact that all the sailors clothes
were missing, lead some TO think it was muliny and
piracy by the eTel0.
lhere u, as you nay suppose, great excitement
IN The cry. The ship has Just come 10 the leyec
and have not time 10 ascertain further particulars
She IS not injured. and LEFT even with her sails
