that II. Carnes, VINO has been posing
here as an insurance agent, is an officer
of the insurgent army and is here with
orders to command the steamship Santa
Maria, being built at cambridge, Ga, has
created a tremendous sensation. Carnes
suddenly disappeared some days ago and
it was generally believed that he had been
fOuAy dealt with. Monday, however,
Charles Adamson, well known business
man. reached here and reported having
seen Carnes at ST. Joseph's bay. 1t was
discovered that party of at least TWEEN
ty-fve persons were there apparently I'M
der his command camping in the woods
near by. The men were alarmed at being
discovered, but declared that they were
a party out for few days sport on the
water. On Mr.. Anderson's information
the valise belonging to Carnes, left al his
boarding house, was broken into Sunday
night, and there the secret of his mis-

was an officer of the insurgents and was
here with orders to take the Santa Ma

built at cambridge, and no one has thus

for tilibuster. The general opinion has

speed her build being different from the
ordinary ship. The vessel has just been
completed and her speed is found to be
thirty-five miles an hour, almost double
