Philadelphia, Pa, June 1.-THE mys.
terious mission of the Philadelphia tug
boat, George w. Chnls, has ass lmed
an entirely new aspect, and unless the
steamer is actually engaged in flibus-
tering she is beyond the pale of legal
interference by the United States gov
ernment. The theory has obtained
here that the Childs mission to Jamaica
was for the purpose Of towing insurgent
transports and assisting the rebellious
factions in the landing OF troops. The
statement of Deputy Collector Crilley
to-day that before clearing, the George
w. Childs was placed under foreign
registry. completely alters the RESPONSE
bility of her owners and crew. Mr..
Crilley said that before taking out
HER CLEARANCE PAPERS,
Captain Swain had applied for and Sc,
cured a foreign register, the same time
releasing the coast-wise registry. with
which the tug boat was supplied "The
department is thoroughly convinced,
said Mr. Crilley, that the mission OF
the Childs was not in violation of any
laws governing the departure of Amer
lean vessels for foreign ports. as far as
her clearance from the port Of Phila-
delphia is concerned. If her owners
or officers have elected TO carry on fili-
clustering actions, they have done 50
after leaving this city. There will be
no investigation, because none Is neces-
sary."
Shipping men claim that with a for
eign register, the Childs is entitled 10
engage in any occupation her owners
may see fit TO designate, after she ar
rives at her destination. This view ia
shared by the tugboat men generally,
who state that If the steamer was sold
TO parties in New York for work I'm
Cuban waters. the fact that she changed
