THE ozAMA's CAPTAIN.
The circumstances of the Capture of
HIS Shin.

New YoRK, July Captain Rockwell,
commander of the Clyde steamer Ozama,
captured by Legitme recently, called at the
office Of the Clyde line this morning, and re-
ported the arrival of his vessel. Captain
Rockwell in an interview with a
representative OF an evening paper,
said that on the morning of June
o, when about thirty-two miles from
Gonaives, three Haytien Runboats were
seen approaching Not wishinghto be de-
tained by them he put on all steam and
forged ahead. He had not gone far when
shot from one of them across the Ozamas
bow brought the steamer to. The Ozama
was boarded by officers, who informed Cap
tain Rockwell he would not be allowed to
go to Gonaives, but would have
to accompany the gun boats to Port
au-Prince. On arriving there the steamer
was anchored under the guns of the fort.
Captain Rockwell Immediately went ashore
and had the United States minister demand
the release of his vessel aud the reasons for
its detention. No attention was paid to the
latter by Legitime's officers. Captain Rock
well then told of the arrival of the United
States steamer Ossippe and the subsequent
release of the Ozama on the threat of Cap
tain kellogg to use force. The report that
5,0O0 in gold had been demaned and paid to
Captain kellogg rs indemnity by the Hay
tien government is not true, and nothing
whatever was said about indemnity

BELFAST, N. Y. July John l.. Sullivan,
having postponed his departure for Roches-
ter until this afternoon, devoted the fore
noon to his usual work. AS the weather
was cloudy, the exercises were confined to

with his old swinging right hand blow

his hours of labor, John seized a skipping
rope and with light step skipped loo con
secutive times without miss. Muidoon
then threw huge blanket over his charge,
and led him 10 a couch, where he lay for u
minute, perspiring freely.
Tell my friends about this said John to
reporter, $50 they can reiute the statement

England Orders Three War Ships to
Proceed There.
LONDON, July LIN both houses of parlia-
ment the fact that Portugal had Cancelled
the Delagoa bay railroad concession was
made known to-day. 1t was stated that the
Portuguese government had been informed by
England that Portugal would be held re-
sponsible for any loss which British in
vestors might suffer by her action. In order
to provide against any action by Portugal in
imical to British interests, England has
ordered three war ships to proceed to Della
goa bay. Lord Salisbury stated in the house
OF lords to-day that he considered Portuga!'s
action in canceling the railway concession as
high-handed and unjust.
The agents Of the railway company have
handed over the line TO the Portuguese offic-
ials and have set valuation upon the work
they have already done. The directors of
the Portuguese company, at Lisbon, with
which alone the Portuguese government has
treated, have informed the government that
they have no intention of rewriting the de-
cree cancelling the concession, but will seek
legal redress In political circles here it is
asserted the concession and Portuguese laws
fully guarantee repayment of the capital
which the railroad company has sunk in the

Kunze SAID TO Have squeaIed.

CucAGo, July 1.-To-night it is learned
that tho German, John Kunze, who was in
dicted by the grand jury Saturday last, to-
gether with six others, for completely in the
murder of DIR. Gro min, is in the hands of the
olice and has been for several days. 1t is
stated further that Kunze is the important
witness whose testimony before the grand
fury Saturday FASTENED the indictments and
fnal report. 1t is understood that Kunze
has told the police all he knows about the
affair and confessed that he drove Detective
Coughlin TO the Carlson cottage on the night
OF May 4, the horse aud wagon used being
the property of r. O'Sullivan, the indicted
Ice man. What further information the
authorities obtained from Kunze is not yet

Kunze is regarded most important pris-
oner. The states attorney was overjoyed AT
his arrest. He would not admit to night that
Kunze had confessed, but SAID he believed
the man knows more about the conspiracy
than anybody, unless 1t is Coughlin him
self. He was Coughlin's confident and was

Omaha Irishmen Talk.

The above dispatch led u BEE reporter to
make inquiries as to what was known about
the matter in this city.
Thomas Brennan, ex-secretary of the land
league, had not met McInerney more than
once and that was eight years ago. The lat
ter was then engaged with Jack
Burke, who subsequently died in
prison, in battling against Mr.. Butt.
Brennan had heard of him but once since,
and that was about year ago when Nc
Inerney went to Limerick to deliver an au-
dress on the occasion of the unvelling of the
monument to Allen, Larkin and O'Brien.
MIR, Brennan said that McInerney had al
ways opposed the Land league. So far as
he knew no telegram of the kind mentioned
had been sent from Omaha.
Another gentleman, who requested for the
present at least, that his name should be
suppressed, said that he had known Nc.
lnerney from boyhood. He had heard sew
eral weeks ago of the DOCTORS disap.
pearance. The announcement caused
considerable surprise, and was con-
veyed to him through letter
from a mutual friend in New York. The
missive. besides referring to the disappear
ance, SAID that some time before it occurred,
DIR. McInerney, the correspondent thought,
had been offered u good position somewhere
In the west and the place was thought to be
Omaha. 1t also requested information as to
whether the missing man had appeared here.
The BEES informant said that the doctor
had not called on him, which he surely would
have done had he come to this city.
the kind mentioned had been sent from
Omaha, the informant could not say
That McInerney had been foully dealt with
he doubted greatly, because if he though,
there were any reason TO believe that his
life was in jeopardy, he would take steps tc
avoid his antagonists.
DIR. McInerney, the gentleman further
stated, was bright, capable and promising
man. Starting originally as a lather, he
studied medicine in the New Yorl
and graduated ut the head of his class. Az
a consequence he became resident surgeon
In Bellevue hospital, which he later re
linquished TO accept u position on the staff OF
the commissioners of emigration. Wha
could induce him to accept an offer in Omana
The BEES informant could not imagine.
