MORE BRITISH OUTRAGES

Capt Walker Of the brig New Era om M.txnza As,
aniyed on Wednesday morning, says that on April "a
lis yess. was boarded by an English war steamer
ard on May Is had three shots fred at him by
another British steamer but he did not heave-to for
her consequently she did not board.
The first and second mates say they know moth
irp about spy such transaction as the captain
pors but when off Mstapzas, the first day out, saw
ste amer firing at .hipthe ship running away from
the steamer the New Era about ID miles to wintward

Shp.rews Reporter.
We visited the New Era yesterday afternoon. Capt.
Walker had gone home to Rhode Island, but we
learned from the mates the following t.cts: While the

in ballast. the British war-stesmer PhGLix csne up
toward her ebout 81 o'clock in the evening, aud sent
an officer 10 her in boat. Without boarding her, the
1iicer ed ply hailed the captain, and asked the
s.Ts name and destination. The questions were po-
I,ely put aud answered civilly when the officer
turr cd TO bis vessel.
On the came day that the New Era LEFT Mstanzas,
and lille ear the land, the observed an Eu-
o ,h steamer about six eight miles distant ire into
a ship. The ship did Lot show her coors, and ap-
peared to be running away from which they In
l.rrei that the steamer was firing to bring her to- but
the sailing yesse! was TOO meet or Tie cruiser NO
shot was fred at the New Era, nor was any sttemp,
made a. spy time TO stop her. The mates say that
there WAS 10 excitement in Cuba in regard TO the
opersons of the cruisers far they knew except
among those interested in the slave.trade So ia as
,bey nhe mater were concerned they believed that
national vessels have the right to stop merchant ships
