The German steamer Schleswlg.
which left Gonaives on the 18th for

from here May II for the West Indies.
She unloaded her coal at Kingston and
sailed from there for New York May
20. but without a bill of health.
Her master, Captain Aarhus. Is
said TO have made himself very often
sive to the Americans In Jamaica by
his pro-Spanish utterances. He boast
ed. according TO a press dispatch, that
he would help the Spanish whenever
he could. He threatened to look up
Spanish ships outside and signal to
them that the auxiliary cruiser Har-
ward was In Kingston harbor.
The American consul heard OF this
threat and when Captain AaIhus ap-
piled for a bill of health Saturday
after the hour for closing, the consul
did not feel disposed to reopen the
consulate to help Mr.. Aarhus assist
the Spaniards, and SO he held the cap
rain's papers.
The Schleswig sailed at daylight
Sunday without the papers, and will
be subject to heavy fine upon reach
ing an American port.
