OFFICIAL HISTORY OF HIS CAPTURE.
LONDON, February 16.-C0lonel w.
b. Cheesebro, the second secretary Of
legation, who worked up the Winslow
affair here, furnishes the following par
| ticulaTs: WinsloW asked the captain Of
the steamer Rotterdam il the United
States had al extrsditiOn treaty with
Holland. The captain replied that he
thought there was such treaty. This
frightened Winslow, who then con-
cluded to come to England. He left the
steamer in a pilOt-bosJ, and landed some
where on tbs Dutch coast. His wife,
sister and son went On to Rotterdam. In
order to battle his puTsuers he sent tel
egram to his wife bearing date I" Brus-
seis." Colonel CheesebrO is unable to
say whether Winslow really went to
Brussels or where he was when he sent
this telegram. WinslOW subsequently
went to ROTTERDAM, and thence came on
TO London. the cleW to his where
abOuts was discovered by intercepting
letter addressed to his wife, telling her
to write to him at MuTray's, the great
publishers. He told her 90 address her
letters to "Morton Lsfferts, care at Muir
rays, publishers" He signed this let
ter Clifton. He, himself went to Muir
lays on Monday and wrote and left a
letter there addressed to Nor on L9fft rte,
his alias. For this letter he, for some
inexplicable reason, called on Tuesday,
when detective, who was in waiting,
arrested him. He acknowledged his
identity and went along quietly. Wins
low informs Colonel CheeseErO that he
hsd six thOupand dollars when he start
ed from the United States, which, he de-
clares, is the proceeds Of the sale Of
his wife's priva'e property. He
says he has plenty OF evidence
to prove this, and appears only anxious
th&t his wife may not suffer any incon-
venience, Colonel Cheesebro desires to
give Sir Thomas Henry, the chief mag
istrste Of the Bow street police court,
credit for his extreme obligingness. The
colonel did not have sufficient evidence
to obtain a warrant when he first called
upon Sir Thomas. The latter, however,
personally called at the American lega- |
ton, and offered TO issus a warrant out |
Of official hours upon the necessary |
proof. The mayor OF Boston on Satur- |
day night telegraphed that the grand |
jury of Suffolk county, MASSACHUSETTS, |
had returned an Indictment for forgery |
against WinslOw, and warrant for his
arrest had been made out for forging for |
thirty-five thou and dollars. This was
sufficient to justify the English authori-
ties ia issuing the warrant upon which /
Winslow was arrested on Tuesday. The
after srresting WinslOw, took |
from him 8 telegram which he ad pre-
Pared asking his wife to join him in
London. The detective forwarded
this in the hope Of enticing his wife over
from Holland. The police at Rotter-
dam will s3izs Winslow's luggage and
send 1t on to London, 20 that it can be

Balch, the correspondent OF the Boston
Herald, came over from Rotterdam to
zee about the affair. Tne Dutch police
tate that WinslOw, by writing letter
Jigned with the assumed name HCIif-
on" had brought himself within the
Dutch law as q suspicious person. He

rOntier. Hon. J. C.. Bancroft Davis, the
American minister at Berlin, had been
advised to have q Ger
nan officer there ready to arrest him

reaty. Wi1sloW disturbed this calcula-
ion by coming t. England. WinslOw :
GEMS very composed. When he was
at Bow street his cOolneSs was

uet and statements. When Winslow

ommit himself, because he stood merely
