GOVT belonging to Treveno and that when Treveno
presented himself for payment he was insuted and
abused He maintains that the boat had stopped at
the Mexican bank to take the property of Mexican cti

pirate in consequence With respect to the depreda
tions, committed at Campacans Aqua Negra San Rosario

lively denies all knowledge and intimates the possibility
