tain New York capitalists. whom he
persuaded about two years ago to A.
out an expedition 10 Marguerite. Island.
off the Venezuelan coast, to dive for
gold supposed to have been lost from n
Spanish warship burned there hundreds
Of years ago.
He got enough money to purchase n
schooner, but instead OF looking for the
Spanish gold, went to Brazil. where he

variously reported that he hoisted the
British colors and also the stars ana
Stripes in order to protect himself.
Naturally enough he was easily dis
covered and taken alongside by the wary
Me.lo. who turned him over to capt.
Lang. of the British wnrship Sirius.
Boynton then announced that he was
an American citizen. ana accordingly he
was sui rendered to Capt. Picking, OF the
United States cruiser Charleston, whore
he was held a prisoner until the depart

he was Dr. Charles T.. Boynton. a rela-
tive of II. Moody Boynton the ex-ral.way
magnate. OF Boston.
Capt. Ford, of the Sirius, said that he
brought no news Of IA startling nature.
Ensign Carter said the health of the
Rio was fairly good. None OF the crews
OF the United states teamers Is al
lowed ashore.
The usual firing Of the loyal troops on
V~illegaignon continued daily. The
Aquid8ban had done no firing since Nov.

He knew very little concerning the
sinking of the Bra lillian steamer Jaw

II was caused by the continued firing OF
her W guns. which strained her bad

on Nov. 25 a coal hulk, owned by VIII
