The Pacific Mail steamer San Juan ar
rived at A. NJ. yesterday, 16 days from
Panama and principal wayports, but did
not dock till the afternoon after the San
Jose had gone out. The San Juan had As
cabin and 81 steerage passengers. Among
tho passengers were four members of the
Wilfred Clark Comedy Company and 90
naval apprentices under the charge of Lieu
tenant S. ii. Brown. The boys, who won
golden opinions from the passengers on the
trip had served on the Mononganela and
Portsmouth and were drafted from the
Minnesota. They will be assigned to the
Boston and the vessels Of the Pacific squad
ron.
On the trip up the coast steerage pas
senger named Fisher was robbed of $500,
his entire worldly possessions, by fellow
passenger whose guilt and identity were al
most unanimously agreed on. but the money
could not be found in the rascaPs possession,
aud he escaped with q mild mObbing at the
Mail wharf. The apprentices raised a
purse Of $50 and presented 1t to Fisher, who
would otherwise have set foot In this city
in a pennilesS condition.
A bit of r romance was among the unwrit-
ten records of the San Juan on the way
down. The hero and heoTine were man
and woman who got on board just as the
steamer was leaving this city. They were
on the passenger list as Mr. and Mrs. NJ S.
Brown and left the ship at San Jose de
Guatemala. The man did not speak to any
one on the snip and the woman was as
silent rs the Sphinx and as freezing in man
neT as an Alaskan glacier. After they had
left the ship the passengers read in the Pan
ANA papers OF California lady having
el0ped with an unknown man and S15, COO Of
her husbands money. They put TWO and
two t0gether-that is the passengers did
and decided that the mysterious man and
the ineXplcable woman were tine elopE 2
couple and that they are now in Guatemala,
where the detectives cease from troubling
and the lovers are at rest
