threatens that, If his vessel is not re
leased at once, he will apply to the Brit
ish Consul for protection. No one is al

come ashore. A suspicious circumstanc
in the case is the fact that the Captain
at first claimed he had chartered tn
craft for q cruise to Mexico and Centrs
America, while afterward he told an en-
tirely different story. He now says tina
by the advice of his physicians he pur
chased the vessel for a cruise to the Fla
waiian Islands for his health. For tw
wears past he has been considering tn
voyage, and cleared at Vancouver fc

Winchester of Santa Barbara, to boar
without going North. A special dispatc
from the latter place TO the San Dieg
Union says Winchester-'s wife says he hs
gone East. Officials say they bsliey
