CAPT. B0YTONs EXPLOIT.
The Captain of the Garnet Called to Ac.
count for Permitting 1t.
From NE BOSTON 4 doertiss n

HALIFAX, n. s., May 15.-Admiral Sir
John Commerell has been very much ex-
asperated by the publicity given to Capt.
Boyton's exploit in afixing a torpedo to
the gunboat Garnet while lying in New
York harbor, and was especially
chagrined at the fact ttat Capt. Hand
made no report to him Of the affair. The
first intimaton Admiral COmmerell had
Of it was by reading the account given by
a New Y DIRK paper. He thereUpOn tele-
graphed Capt. Hand to Immediately return
to Halifax. Hence the Garnet's sudden
and mysterious departure from New Ork.
| The day she arrived in Halifax
the Lieutenant on watch was
placed under arrest, and Sir
John COmmerell. as cOmmander-in-ch chief
Of the British fleet in North American
waters, ordered the organization ola court
Of inquiry to investigate Capt. Hands
management Of the Garnet from the time
she left Norfolk until her arrival in Hall
fax, with special instructions to ascertain
all the facts of BOytOn's midnight torpedo
/ expedition. The court has been sitting
two days, and not only its proceedings
but also it's existence being kept a secret,
i until to-day it leaked out. Your cores
pOndent visited the imperial dockyard to
interview the chief naval officer. Three
| naval pDlicemCu were Su&IuluS lne gdLe.
Only one used to be stationed there. AZ
ter making detailed inquiries as to the
nature Of my business with the chief
naval officer, one OF the trio was Or
dcred to accompany me to that official,
and remained close by during the inter-
view, probably afraid | had half a dozen
tOrpedoes hidden about my person. The
chief of the station could not be induced
10 impart any information, and your cor
respondent was safely guarded out of the
dockyard by the watchful policeman. 1t
is learned from reliable sources that every
officer and man on duty on the Garnet
while in New York has been or will be
examined, and the result submitted to
naval headquarters in London, with the
probability that Capt. Hand and the
officer ON watch that night will be court
martialled tor endangerlng the safety of
the ship by neglecting to take neces-
sary precautions against torpedoes, etc,
from Fenian dynamiters or other hOstiles.
The court is composed of the Captains of
the warships Northampton, Tenedos and
FantOme, with Admiral COmmerell pre-
siding. and as soon as the investigation is
concluded the small gunboats will leave
tordhe Newfoundland fishery protection
service.

band. 1t consisted OF one middle aged
cOlOred man, who carried a snare drum,
Tue band wore a naval cadets cap and
filed in with the cadets to pay his respects
TO the President, who gave him specl-
ally cordial handshake.

way and the noise from the old gentleman
ana the band had died away number of
ladies paid their respects. After receiV-
ing the pleasant greeting which he gives
