The mystery of the bl0od-stained row
boat, found Monday morning at West
Berkeley shore, has been partly solved, by
the arrest OF one of the men who embarked
on the boat at Vallejo street wharf on Sun
day afternoon. Last evening, Captains
Stone and Lee, and Detective Meagher,
while following up some Of the clues OBJ
tanned by them concerning the dark trans
action, arrested Nicholas Michaels, a
Greek, who is believed to be the man that
embarked in the boat in company with its
owner, John French, or Johnny, the
Greek, who has not since been seen.
Michaels was arrested at Fisherman's
Greek. q small stream about five miles
above Martinez. The creek is the resort Of
q number of fishermen, n when captured,
he was found on one of the fshermen's
boats. The prisoner was brought to the
City prison this morning, and was locked
up in the new prison. No charge is as
yet preferred against him, the detective de-
clining to give any further information for
his reason in believing him to be the man
wanted. 1t is reported, however, that the
prisoner has admitted that he was in the
boat with French, and killed him during q
row, and threw his body into the bay.
Edward Ewald has made application for

SAN DIEGO, Feb. %.
A "Union' special to-day, from Tucson,
says: Hundreds of Sonorians are coming
into Arizona to avoid taking part in, or
the effects Of the revolution. Many are
destitute. Capt. Rafferty,, with a company
of troops and Indian scouts, left yesterday
for a months scout along the border south
west of here. This scout was ordered
weeks before the Sonora revolution was
known, hence there is no reference to it.
Very little exploring has ever been made
south Of Western Arizona, and this ex-
petition is a sort Of pioneer one, by which
mining and other information is expected.
