A Ship Leaves Havana Hoping to Be
Captl1red

KEY WEST. Fla. June %, 1890 a. H.
A two-masted vessel, the Amapala of Tru-
jillo Honduras, was brought in here this
morning flying the American flag and in
charge of Ensign Zeene of the Vicksburg.
She was captured yesterday afternoon at
sunset while leaving Havana and attempted
to run the blockade. She was quickly over
hauled and the Vicksburg found over thirty
women and children and a number of men
on board, crew and passengers all refugees.
There was no sickness on board the ANA
pala but she is detained at quarantine.
The Amapaa belonged to Emanuel Mon
tesino Won teres of Truiilo, Honduras. She
had been lying at Havana since before the
blockade. Her crew numbers eleven men
besides the captain, but almost all on board
were refugees.
M. Base, French citizen, who three years
ago was a leading exchange broker in Ha-
vana, chartered the vessel and got together
over forty people eager to embrace any
chance to escape from Havana. He Is in
charge of the expedition, made up of all ma
tionalities, including Spanish, French, Ven
eZuelans, Cubans and Turks. They fully
expected to be captured, but felt that any
risk was preferable to starvation. The
Amapala came out of Havana and Offered
no resistance. All of the captivss are con-
fident of release. Hardly any provisions
were on board al til. time of the capture,
and no cargo or contraband articles were
found, and the vessel may not be held as
prisoner. They repor; everything quiet at
