SAN DIEGO; CAL, June 9.-The investiga-
ton being made into the proposed filibuster-
ing expedition against Lower California con-
tinues to reveal startling facts, and a new
phase is now put on the affair. From evi-
dence furnished by agents of the Mexican
Land and Colonization company, it appears
that Major Scott, the president of the COM
pany, had in view plan to annex the penin-
sula to the British empire by pursuing a
course mapped out by the East India COM
pany when Great Britain acquired her pos
sions in Asia. 1t was designed to colouize
from the Mexican government, and then to
provoke a strife and foment dissension.
English capital and interests would then he
ieopardized, and the intervention OF the
mother country was to be evoked. In proof
of this the statements of the agents OF the
company, substantiated by documentary evil
dence, has been secured. Major Scott, man.
a9er of the company, assured the tihbusterS
that two English men of war would be in the
vicinity of Ensenada. cruising off the coast,
when the new republic was to be declared.
As soon as rhe declaration of independence
of the new government had been proclaimed.
these war ships were TO enter the harbor and
recognize the new nation. Scott also stated
that the nucleus of the army was already in
Lower California stored in warehouse of
the English company at Ensenada. Three
cases of rifles were shipped to Ensenada,
billed TO the English company some time
ago. Major Scott supposed that after the
republic had been established. the govern
ment would operate with the Mexican gov
eminent in suppre>sing the invaders. Then
Great Britain would be appealed to to pro.
tect the interest of her subjects, and would
establish protectorate on the peninsula.
This. up to present DEVELOPMENTS, is as far
as Major Scott is implicated in the affair.
This much may be proved by the correspond
ence over his own signature. 1t all goes to
show that Major Scott was only using Amer
lean conspirators, Smith. Merrill, Worthing-
ton and others, to give the plot the appear
ance of an American movement.

Captain John II. Allen, of Brooklyn,
well known ship master, and an enter
tanning and forciblc writer OH maritime
topics, is dead. Captain Allen sailed
December s, 1889, from Darien, Ga,
with the ship Bridgewater, for Queens
town, Ireland. Nothing was heard OF
the Bridgewatcr from his sailing until
April 5, when wrcckagc, consisting of
pitch-pine lumber and life buoy, with
the manic "Bridgewatcr" on il, was
found on the shore at Achill Head,
Cotinty Mayo, Ireland. The inference
was drawn that the ship had been
wrecked, but the suggestion was made
that the crew, or part of it, might
have been picked up by vessel bound
to some distant port, and so the hope
sprang up that Captain Allen would in
time be heard from. Now, at the end
of the seventh month, dating from the
sailing of the Bridgewater, that hopo
has been abandoned.
