PRIOKING THE BUBBLE.
Yesterday United States Marshal Barlow was
active in Investigating the rumOrs and employed
some OF the most expert attaches OF mis- ofce in en-
deavoring to find substantiation OF the inter-
esting narrative. 1t may be no disparagement, how
ever OF the abilities OF either the Marshal his
detectives TO state that not single trace OF the re-
ported expedition was developed by their search,
and other officers OF the general government were
equally devoid OF information on the subject.

Marshal become convinced that hlibustering expe-
dtion OF formidable extent had lett this port Tor

runaway craft, and II would be placed al MS dis

could be fitted out for such chase In three or four
hours

than ever. But perhaps that was no Indication N

DESTINATION OF THE PHANTOM SHIP.
As to the real course of the Arago there is little
doubt and that her destination Is not, directly In
directly, the queen OF the Antilles' there Is no
doubt. On Wall ana Front streets II has been well
known for the past three weeks that the AraQo was
fitting out for the Peruvian government with coal
and stores to take to ST. Thomas, where having sup
piled the other Peruvian vessels there, the entire
fieet to weigh anchor and start for Callao Pro-
visions were put on board the Arago to supply only
seveny-1ve men for thirty days, that a crowd OF
ftouslers as large as has been represented would
be E rather a bad fix after q few days at sea. She
Is now far out at sea- with nothing more beiligerent
on board than Delaying pin or q navy revolver.
Mr. w. r. Grace, who cleared the ship, feels rather
Indignant az people perssting IN the belief that the
Arago was made available by any Gang OF nbusters.
