They don't seem to amount to
much. but they Danish sleep and ap-
detite. No position Is comfortable.
There is intense local pain and that
dreadful feeling of weight in the

SPANISH SCHEME FRUSTRATED,


An Attempt to Secure Supplies Under
the Flag OF Honduras.
Key West Fla, June 27.--Federai OH
cials here are convinced that by the
capture Of the little brig Amapala by
the blockading squadron off Havana
last week daring Spanish scheme has
been frustrated. When the Amapala
was taken she was flying the Honduras
flag. and SO far from attempting to
elude the American ships, she deliber-
ately ran out to the blockade lines with
the evident intention of being made q
prisoner The Vicksburg was assigned
the task Of capture, and Ensign Sem,
with prize crew, brought in the brig.
1t Is now asserted that. the Honduras
registry of the vessel w4s blind, that
she is owned by Spaniards and that she
was being used in an attempt to get
food and provisions into the blockaded
city.
BY a diligent investigation the prize
officials have discovered aboard the
Amapala documents and letters which
to their minds makes clear the entire
scheme of deception. The briggs Hon.
duras patent was dated May IS. and
was for six months. and her papers
showed that she was bound for Jalapa,
Mexico. She carried no cargo, but a
polyglot band of passengers. refugees
80 called, including Spaniards, Hon.
durans, Mexicans and South Ameri-
cans. Her ostensible owner, accord
Ing to the documents, is Manuel Monte
sina Y Monteros. who Is set down as q
Honduran, but this person, it Is said,
is a mere figurehead in the transact
tions, her real owner being well known
Spanish shipping firms.
The discriminating evidence thus far
discovered all of which cannot now be
made known. is said to be of posi-
tive character. 1t shows the intention
of the brig was to pass the blockade
line as prize, confident that the Hon.
duras flag would free her after a pos
sible delay Of few days, when she
was to proceed to Jalapa, take on a
cargo and return to Batabana, where,
1t is said, many shiploads of supplies
for Havana are being safely dis
charged,

he says the ship never misses an oppor-

cause to regret that the vessel was named
after this city. Although the heat has
been terrible. and 1t has rained every dav
for tho past four weeks none Of the sailors
are IN the sick bay.
At the time the letter was written the
wilmington was lying in front OF Moro
Castle ct Havana. The crew could plainly
see the Spanish flag flying at the castle,
and all were anxious for an opportunity to
tear 1t down. Mr.. Weakland feels conf
