He has BEEN treated with considerable leniency
ty the military authorities. Once or twice
daily the carriage containing Mrs. Yerger, the
two daus6te4s. young ladies Of thirteen and
fuaeeu, and one or two young children, may be
seen diving through the camp to the pr.son-
ers quarters, bringing creature comforts to

abused, and uhiskey and money have been con-
Yeyed % him. he is not now permitted to re-
ceiye. anything from outside, and is confined
strictly TO army rstiops. John Z. Yerger, the

death, were thisday released under bonds.
Tue New York reporters give lengthy ac-
counts o. thar experiences on board the CAP
tured A1peditonary feet. Three steam tugs,
it seems. wore chartered TO convey the men to
the Lower Bay. while two provision laden
schoouers had preceded them. The tugs car
ried about two hundred men, half Of whom
were Cubans. :,he remainder were New Yorkers,
chiefly Irishmen, all Of whom had served in
the late war either as cfacers or privates.
Among the Cubans was Charles Mayer, who
fought the celebrated Spanish duellist, Pepe
I,ulla, Of New Orleans, on the 9th Of last day.
Wnle' the tugs were waiting in the bay, the
expected steamer Ras captured by the United
States authorities. The officers on board the
tugs crdised around until their provisions gave
out and then put into New London, where
they learned what had happened and decided
to return to New York. Scarcely had they
changed mont, however. before the revenue
cutter Mshoning appeared and they were taken
into custody. Among the articles found on
the tugs Was sSn4die OF Cuban bonds, with
which the volunteers we're to be paid. -.
The robbery Of the Ocean Bank is still the
smsst,on IN New York, but there is little or
nothing really new to add to the facts already
given. It was stated by some OF the papers
thai the porter of the bank bad the combina-
ton Of the lock to the outer door Of the vault.
This is positively denied by the officers Of the
bank, who.say that only the president and one
other officer ever had any knowledge OF the
com ina lol." It is also said that the report
that the key OF the inner door Of the vault was
Ian ing on the Intel is wholly false. Some
light is shed on the ques hon Of the safety OF
the combination leck In use by the operation
Of an expert locksmlth Of New York. This
person called ut the bank on Tuesday and Of
fered to pick tn combination lock on the
otter door, il fpermission were granted him to
operate. The door vas thereupon locked, the
combination beng known only to the presi-
dent, and. sure enough. the locksmith did
open 1t, aud with comparative facility. This
lock his two hundred numbers on the dial,
thus allowing for millions Of combinations.
Hitting upon the exact conjunction OF NOM
bers By which the lock may be opened (the
changes therein being made at the will OF the
party who locks the door, may. therefore, be
set down as simple impossibility; but that
thereis plan by which this seeming difficulty
may be overcome without injuring the lock, is
mlde fully apparent, both from the operations
OF the burglars as well as from the undeniable
proof Of that fact gwen by the locksmith re-
ferred 70. That gentleman said that the
means by which the unlocking is done are so
simple that he could. in fifteen minutes time,
