SAILORS L1BEL SCHOONER.
Tell Picturesque Story of Capture
 and .Impressment.

l
 New York, May 31.-Alexander Ro- Imero and Ciriaco Banton. two Portu- Iguese ssamen, have libelled the Bath schooner, Oliver S. Barrett, in Brook lyn. Captured by night at the point of pistol in an American port, kept prisoners two days and nights on an island, fed on bread and water and turned adrift in a strange port is the picturesque tale told by the Portuguese.
 They say that while the Barrett was in port at Brunswick, Ga, band of strange men boarded her. When they learned that the Portuguese were not union men they forced them into a small boat, took to an island and for two days fed them on crackers and water. Finally they were landed at Fernandina, Fla, without penny, they say. They experienced many diff fculties in reaching New York The action against the Barrett is taken, on the ground that her captain should have protected his crew. The seamen sue for wages from the time they were absent from the vessel.

It was stated that Cohen is a man of family and that his family need his care and that he is unable to raise a bond of $1,000 and will have to remain in jail until next October unless the bond is reduced.
 The state opposed the reduction, claiming that the bond was already small enough for the gravity of the case, as the building fired was also used as residence and the burning of It might have resulted in the loss of life. After argument on both sides the court refused to reduce the bail.
