sea he marched to the purSers Once anu

officers of the vessel that his name was Colo
mel So. Clair, of the United States army, a
secret service officer. His agreeable ana
affabIe manners, together with the eX-
changing of his clothing for the dress anu
insignia OF n full-fedged colonel, were con-
sidered proof positive, and every attention
WAS gwen 10 the DISTINGUISHED Pei soh'SsS'
At Acapulco Colonel st. Clair had the NOR
tifcstioT1 of finding himself in strange land
without the wherewith to settle numerous
little bills which came pouring In upon him.
He extricated himself from the embarrass-
ment by remembering that he was one OF
the secret service officers sent out by the
United States Government to assist Secre-
tary Seward and party in their travels, ana
TO make negotiations and sollndlngs lor the
acquisition of all Mexico. A number OF
Franeiscans Mt that place, together with the
natives in general, were thoroughly BAN
boozled, ana aided Colonel st. Clair to plr-
sue his journey to the city OF Mexico.

party. All along the line of march he con-
Yeyed the idea that he was IN othcer oil Tue

Mr.. Stewards journey. He bought horses,
rented rooms, hired servants, and settled
the bills by giving drafts, letters OF credit,
sc. From the city of Mexico he went to
Puebla and Vera Cruz, in each of which
places he maintained the same gorgeouSncss
and utter disregard for expense. Secretary
Seward and party were very much annoyed
by the presentation of these orders and
drafts and letters Of introduction which the
gallant Colonel gave to his newly.made
friends. From Vera Cruz he escaped to
Havana, and from there to Chih. News
has lust been received that in the latter
place he has been arrested for passing coun-
