Ship Reindeer.
Bosros, June 3.-Lelters received here by a late
arrival from Montcyideo report that the captain,
both mates, the steward, and two passengers OF
the well. known ship Reindeer, bound to Boston
from Vail AAiso, were murdered by the crew, who
scuttled the vessel OF Cape ptonio.
The ship was subsequently discovered, the cargo
thrown out, and then towed to Monteyideo.
She had large amount of bullion on board
which the murderers secured and took of, placing
it in small boat, in which they arrived at Monte
video. .H. ....-
On their arrival there one of them, seeing the
Reindeer lying alongside the wharf. or rather in
the harbor, when he had supposed she wa ssunk
was seized with panic of conscience ahd openly
confessed the crime. The murderers were ali
finally arrested, and will be sent to England for
trial. Such are the facts reported, which are nc
doubt true.
