AMMUNITIoN ELSEWHERE.

AMMUNITION ELSEWHEhEA
aWant to know at what hour the Conserva passed
outside OF Sandy Hook" was the dispatch sent TO the
telegraph operators at Sandy Hook yesterday. The
reply was Don't know. she must have gone ont
during the fog" The Conservs is the vessel that was
formerly the American steamer Madrid, which Min
lister Preston, OF Hayt, and his detectives allege
was purchased by LeOnoio Julia, the Dominican Con-
sui, with money furnished by General Hyppolite, the
commander Of the Haytlan insurgents. The Madrid
was purchased three months ago, put into dry dock
at Brooklyn, was strengthened, had an arinor belt
put around her waist and ports cut into the sides
for guns. 1t then said that she had been purchased
by T. Haus;edt OF JlInlnes, Haustedt Dc Co.
When II ives threatened to libel her for violation OF
the neutrality laws, In, case she should attempt to
go TO sea, 1t was announced that she had been pur-
chased by Consul julia on behalf of his Government,
santo Domingo, and her name having been changed
to Conserva, she cleared for SANTANA. The next
step was libel against her upon application by Min
lister Preston and after hearing before Judge Bene
dict In Brooklyn, she released. the Judge deciding
that there was no recognized government in aytl
so far as this Government concerned, she could
not be held for violation of the neutrality laws From
this decision District Attorney Wilbur appealed, but
the appeal was dismissed on Tuesday afternoon, and
Immediately steam was raised and the vessel started
for before shutdown. So hurriedly did the owners
get the vessel ready TO escape any possible further
ton that started before her captain and all Of
her got board. But Captain Aukers and the
Others shore were soon gathered in and put on
board, and the vessel went her way with The
officers and a crew Of twenty seven mon. 1t was re-
ported that C. p. Kunhardt sailed as passenger but
this denied with a statement that Mr.. Kunhardt is
In ST. Augustine, Fla.
. 1t Is believed that the vessel will, IL she Keeps
above water long enough, reach SANTANA In about
week. But when she went TO sea before she leaked
badly and had return, when she was Hbelled. She
carried other cargo than coal rs ballast, and u
SAID that when she reaches SANTANA she VIII have her
guns and other war munitions put on board.
Consul Julia received no official notification yester-
day of his dismissal as the representative OF Santo
Domingo but at the Haytian Consulate 1t was stated
as a positive fact that he had been dismissed
