Found in the Hold.

PENSACOLA, Fla, Nov 23---There is
great interest in the investigation of the
attempt to burn the British steamer Cayo.
The incendfary effort was made .yester-
day. The Cayo is Of 2223 tons burden
and is leading 1900 bales of cotton for
Bremen
The plan was frustrated by one OF the
cotton screw men at work in the hold OF
the vessel finding a quantity Of heads Of
matches. About Il. 600 bales of cotton had
been placed in the vessel when the dis
c0veTy was made. This led to an i9vesti-
cation, and about twenty cannon crack
ers twelve inches in length we're found
damned between the heads of the cotton.
IN each instance matches had been placed
in the heads of the cannon crackers ad-
joining the stem. with the heads pro-
trucing IN such q manner that slight
friction would strike the matches and
ignite the crackers
The cannon crackers were stolen from
the steamship Winifred. which arrived
Monday with 4 cargo OF fireworks from
