Shipped to Carry Cargo to The

Forced to Stand by on a Long
Trip to Paraguay.
Steamers Name Twice Changed.
Belgium VII! Investigate.

Antwerp, Dec. 3i.--The crew of the
steamer Zeebrugge, which sailed from
here. on the night of Oct L. with a
cargo of arms and ammunition, which
it was thought was for the Portu-
guese Royalists, returned, today, to
Antwerp. They related remarkable
experience. 1t appears that the steam
er and her cargo We're not intended for
the Portuguese Royalists. but for the
Paraguayan revolutionists. The car
ried $50 tons of powder four large
cannon, one machine gun, 6000 rifles
a wireless apparatus, uniforms and
other military supplies. There were
two English passengers and five
Spanish passengers aboard. one of
the spaniards, Arricos by name, as
sumed direction of affairs as soon as
tile steamer was out of sight of land
Instead of proceeding for Port STAN
ley, Falkland Islands. for which she
had cleared, the Zeehrugge headed di-
rect for South America. The Belgian
sailors then learned that it was the
intention to attack the Paraguayan
villages of the Rio De LaPlata.
As soon as the South American
coast was sighted Arricos mounted
the guns on deck. When the mouth
Of the De La Plata Mas reached the
Brazilian flag was hoisted. The hull
of the steamer Was painted and her
name WAS changed TO Coimbra
Thanks to a heavy snow storm the
vessel got past MonteVedeo and
Bnenos Ayres without attracting at
tention. Her name was again changed
TO Asuncion.
The Belgian crew was compelled to
obey orders, for Arricos stood over
them with a revolver and they feared
too, that if the vessel was taken they
would be summarily dealt with. They
continued therefore, to work the ship
up the river. Meantime The vessel
name underwent yet another change,
the name Constitution being painted
this time upon her.
When the Paraguayan border was
reached the English captain an
nounced that the steamer belonged to
Arricos and the men We're free TO
leave Refusing the invitation BY Ar
ricos to Join his expedition, the crew
made their way to Buenos .Ayres and
thence 10 Antwerp.
Difficulties having arisen between
the crew and the former Belgian own
ers of the Zeebrugge about their
wages, the sailors have brought suit
against the owners. One of the Ant
werp deputies has announced his in
tention of demanding explanations
from the government in the Chamber
for not preventing such a fragrant
breach of neutrality.
