The Forprm4i, which carried the fill
ibusters to Guaymas, was fitted out
here some three months since. She Is
the old British gunboat Fornmd, sold
at Esquimault last season. 1t was
known that she has OH board a quantity
of thick iron plates, supposed to be for
plating her sides for an attack upon
! Mazatlan or Guaymas, but as she wa
cleared without a cargo by Schneider,
the shipping agent here, under the Sal
vador flag, and the tllibusters who 1t
was supposed intended going on board
her somewhere off this port, we're not
seen around her, Collector Phelps did
not feel warranted In the seizure o fher,
though urged to do so by d. Rivas, the
Mexican Consul, Vega did not so
with the expedition from San Bias, in
the vicinity of which place he had been
staying for some months, but as usual
left his followers to take all the chances
of being caught and shot-himself
keeping out Of harms way. He Is
known to have al intense hatred
against the Mejia family, and those
| who know him best think that young
| Mejia will certainly be murdered.
Vega hates the Americans intensely,
and his present professions Of friend
slip are regarded rs made merely to
huinbug them into aiding his scheme
for personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
