The schooner Majestic, which dispatch
Saturday morning stated was sunk, was
owned by SWEET Il Co., of this city, and
was bound from Port johnson to Castine
with cargo OF coal. She was last seen
on the night of the 14th inst, off New
London, by Capt. Smith of the schooner
Martha, now at this port, who informs us
that the two vessels passed through He'll
Gate together bound East, and remained
in company until that night, when the
Martha put into Tarpaulin Cove. and he
afterwards saw nothing of the Majestic
Capt. Wyman, his brother, and the young
man Fred Wyman, who wrote the note
found at Simonton's Cove, announcing the
sinking of the vessel, all belonged to
Islesboro', and are supposed to have been
all that were on board the Majestic. Capt.
Wyman's wife and four children, and his
brothers. wife are all at Islesboro', and
their anxiety respecting the tate Of the
vessel and its crew may better be i'm
agined than described. Bangor Whig.
The above story proves to be an unmt-
igated humbug. The schooner has ar
rived safely at Castine. The writing out
of which the alarm grew was the work of
an idiot on board the vessel, whose facul-
ty for inventing lies deserves liberal ap-
plication of the ropes end.

The Decision of the Geneva Tribunal

The Arbitrators having closed their
labors, have just published the decision
OF the Tribunal which awards the
United States SD 100000, in gold with
interest, for losses sustained by the acts
OF the Alabama, Florida and Shenandoah.
The decision Of the Court is signed by all
the Arbitrators except Sir Alexander
CocIlburn, who will give q separate iude-
ment, agreeing with his colleagues only
in relation to the Alabama, the award in
which case constitutes the greater portion
of the total sum.
The decision of the Tribunal is summed
up in the following closing parag graphs OF
the text OF the award:
Whereas, So far as relates to the par
ticular matter of indemnity claimed by
the United States, the costs Of the pursuit
Of the cruisers are not in judgment before
the Tribunal and properly distinguishablc
from the general expenses of war, the
Tribunal, therefore, is OF the opinion
three to tWo-that there is no ground for
awarding amy sum by way of indemnity
under his head
whereas, The prospective injuries can
not properly be made a subject to com
pensaton, inasmuch rs they depend in a
nature Oh future and uncertain con
tingenclcS, the Tribunal is unanimously
OF the opinion that there is no ground of
award on this head; and
Whereas, In order to arrive at an eouit-
able compensation for damages sustained,
it is necessary to decide all double claims
Tor the same losses, and all claims for
gross freight, SO far as they may exceed
the net freight; and
Whereas, 1t is just and reasonable to
allow interest at Il reasonable rate and
Whereas, In accordance with the spirit
and letter Of the Treaty OF Washington,
it is preferable to adopt as the form OF ad-
ludicallon OF the sum in gross, rather than
to refer the subject of compensation for
further discussion and deliberation to Il
board Of arbitrators provided by article
ten OF the treaty, the Tribunal using the
authority conferred by article seventh of
the treaty, by Il majority of four yolces,
awards to the United States the sum of
fifteen millions five hundred thousand
dollars (Sl3,OO0,00OO in gold us the in
demnity to be paid by Great Britain to
inc United States for the satisfaction OF
| all the claims referred to.
The consideration of the Tribunal was
IN conformity to the provisions, contained
III article seven of the treaty, and in ac-
cordance with the terms of article eleven
OF the treaty; the Tribunal declares that
all the claims referred to are hereby fully,
perfectly and finally settled; and it fur
thermore declares that each and every one
of said claims, whether the same may or
may not have been presented to the no
tice or laid before the Tribunal, shall
henceforth be considered and treated as
settled and barred
In testimony whereof, the present de-
cision and award have been made in du-
plicate, and signed by the Arbitrators,
who have given assent thereto, the whole
being in exact conformity with the pro-
visions of the Treaty of Washington.
Made and concluded at the Hotel de
Vile, Geneva, Switzerland, September
IA, 1872.

THE SUB-TREASURY DEFALCATlON.
A Larger Amount Abstracted than was
Generally Supposed.

The detalcation at the Sub-Treasurv in
New ork is even larger than was at first
reported. 1t is now definitely known that
it will not be less than $1S5 200, nor more
than S20O,0O0 The officials ut the Sub
Treasury are now convinced of their folly
IN attempting to suppress so glaring Il
fraud on the Government The Assistant
Treasurer, Gen. Hillhouse, says: "The
embezzlement by johnson was discover
ed when 1t was noticed that he did not re-
turn to duty after his leave of absence had
expired, two weeks from Aug. II. Not
returning then, his books were inspected
and found irregular. An examination
was begun into them and detectives were
detailed to discover HIM The effort to
keep it quiet was made simply to keep
the facts that he was wanted from the
knowledge of his friends, hoping that
through them his whereabouts might be
discovered. The disclosure, [ still think
was premature, rs should any Of his
friends know Of his location they will not
now disclose it. The amount of the de-
talcation will not exceed the outside
figures reported (s200,000), nor lal be-
low the smallest (lS5, ,00W.''
Mr.. LEOPOLD, the chief of the Examin-
ing Commission said, yesterday, that they
had examined Johnson's books, but had
not found them in the confused state men
toned in the Washington dispatches.
About Aug. 2, just before johnson left
that department, two lots Of internal reve-
nue. stamps were forwarded to the Trea-
sury Department by express, and were
apparently received by johnson, whose
name is attached to the recent These
lots were valued at Sl75,00 and $40, 900
respectively. OF what denomination the
stamps were he did not know. An ex-
animation of his books and a comparison
of accounts with his balance on hand, re-
vcaled the extent Of his operations. Ef-
forts are now making to find his confed-
crates, for it is believed that he had assis-
tance outside of the Treasury
