NEW YORK, Aug. 1e.-Louis P. Haven
and j. E. Cullinan, editors and proprie-
tors of Tbonapson'S Bank Note and Com
naercjGl Register, published in this city,
accompanied by their counsel, went to-
day to the District Attorneys office and
surrendered tAa@selyes, in answer to a
blackmailing Nassau Bank of this
city. The cO saint charged them with
trying to iDjire the reputation of the
bank by publishing false stories concern
ing it. The accused say that they had
sent circulars to the Nassau as to other
banks, asking for statement of its con-
dition, and had been refused. What they
said in their publication was the out
growth of this refusal.
CAN'T BE PURGED FROM THE MAILS.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-A number of
bank Presidents having written the Post
master General to exclude IhOnapSOn'S
Bank Note and Commercial Register from
the mails, charging that it is blackmail-
ing concern, the Assistant Attorney
General for the Post Office Department
has decided that it cannot be excluded
from the mails, and advises that intended
victims should have recourse TO the
courts.

Arrests Made by the Half Hundred and
All Implicated Known.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 16.-A special
from the City of Mexico says that forty
persons in all have been arrested in con-
nection with the conspiracy. Gen. Peza,
Chief of the Artillery Department, and
Gen. Echegary are imprisoned. Gen.
Echegary commanded the garrison at
Vera Cruz under Gen. Diaz's administra-
tion five years ago. PeZa and Echegary
are great friends, and are thought to have
had no connection with the conspiracy.
Gen. Chavarria's whereabouts is un-
known. He had been removed from the
barracks. His son is out looking for him.
All the prisoners have been turned over
to Juan Perez DeLeon, First Judge
of the district. The au-
thorities deny that any prisoners
have been sent to Vera Cruz or Yucatan.
The conspiracy is reported to have in
cluded the Imprisonment or shooting of
DIaZ and Gonzales under the leadership
of Jardon, editor of La Opinion National,
and two COlOnels, Salcedo and Rodriguez.
Government detectives are said to have
obtained list Of the conspirators in Jar
dOn's possession. Gen. Allatorre has
been arrested. The plan of the conspiracy
is said to have been to reconstruct the
government, as in 1876, under President
LerdO. 1t is thought that the cause was
betrayed by a compositor in Jardon's
office, who has been arrested, and his wife
kept in close confinement.
DIFFERENT STORY.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-A dispatch from
the City of Mexico, sent directly to the
Associated Press, referring to the reports
via st. Louis that a great conspiracy
against the government had been un-
earthed, says that such reports are in
fact in circulation there but they are
greatly exaggerated. 1t is true that a
few arrests have been made, but the So
called conspiracy is so ridiculously weak
that it does not merit the name.

tiOn.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Postmaster
Robinson, cOlOred, Of Bamberg, S.
c., has sent to the Post Office
Department statement giving
the reasons why he recently closed
his Office and left town. He says that on
Sunday night, Aug. 10, body of 10 or II
armed men went to his home, about three
and a half miles from Bamberg, and
shot through his doors and windows.
he was told that if he did not cease he
should die instantly. Continuing his re-
port, he says: zone OF them said that
if | would resign my office within 80
days, and sign petition in favor of Mrs.
Warn, widow of the late Postmaster, l
could have that chance, otherwise l
would be killed. l was well near fright
ened to death, and accepted the PROPOSE
tiOn.
WARNED To STAY AWAY.
''They finally concluded that l should
not return to the office, and if dared come
they would kill me without a doubt. l
felt very certain that if went to my.Office
on that day 1 would be killed"
Post Office Inspector Simpson, who in
vestigated the trouble, says; ''The mov-
ing cause of the whole trouble is that an
other party desires the Office and his
friends took this course to get the present
Incumbent out. don't think that it has
any political significance"
Simpson further says that majority of
the people seem to desire Robinson to re-
main as Postmaster, and the Inspector
recommends that no change be made at
present. On the recommendation of the
Post Office Inspector it was concluded to
appoint a white man as his assistant, and
he named j. p. Murphy, a merchant of
that place.

THE LOST YACHT MIGNoNETTE.

Captain Dudley, Of the Mignonette, whose
loss has been previously reported. has ar
rived in England, and freely discusses the
terrible adventures which befel him at sea.
After describing the wreck and the manner
in which the crew put of in boat, he says
1.-THE sea was raging round us, and we
managed to make q sea anchor with the
pinnacle and some boards. The boat was
leaking, but ! cut off the bottom OF my
trousers and drawers and stopped up the
hole About eleven o'clock shark came
alongside. but we beat him off with the oars.
Our situation was q truely terrible one, and
it seems now miracle how the dingy kept
aloat in such sea- On the fourth day we
seemed to swim TO the boat and almost
turn himself up for us. We drank his
blood out of the chronometer box and
afterwsrd cut up the whole of the flesh
in strips and hung it round the boat.
So overioyed were we ut this find that
we ate our second tin of turnip. Day
after day passed, and on the eleventh day
we had finished the turtle, and had nothing
left except the two fins, but we ate every
portion. even the bones.
The fat OF the turtle proved very nutri-
tious, and we got water few times when
there were showers by catching the rain in
our oilskins, though sometimes when we had
little drop sea broke into it and spoiled it
so that we had TO throw it away. We went
on from the fifteenth to the twentieth day
without any food at all or drink, and by
that time we had begun to look each other
in the face very black. The boy, who had
drank some sen water at night had said,
We shall all die and1 remarked, 'We shall
have to draw lots, boys This was ignored
by all. and they said, We had better die
together 10 which | replied, so let it be,
but it is hard for four to die, when, perhaps
one might save the rest A day or two be-
fore suggested we should try and make
some kind Of sail, which we did with our
shirts rugged on all oar for mast. and y
strand OF the painter for shrouds and stays.
Things now looked as bad as they could.
On either the nineteenth or twentieth day
the boy was lying in the bottom Of the boat,
where he had been for TWO days, gasping
for breath and nearly dead. AT about three
O'Clock in the morning said to the mate.
What is to be done? | believe that boy is
dying. You have wife and five children
and | have 4 wife and three children |
said that human flesh had been eaten be-
fore. stephens replied, See what daylight
brings forth Brooks took his watch at 6
o'clock, and we made motions to each
other. Brooks said he could not do it, and
Stephens said he could not do it. told
Brooks 10 go forward, which he did. | then
took hold of the shrouds and had a last
look round to see il anything was in sight,
but there was nothing. | offered up a
prayer most fervently that God above
might forgive us for such an act, and then l
knelt down by the boy and said, Now,
Dick, my boy, your time has come He
murmured, What, me, sir?' put the pen
knife in his throat, and he was dead in
stant1-n -
