The French Cable Ship "Ponyer Quer-
tier anchored in our bay about $50 Satur,
day afternoon. She came from AIayaguez,
Porto Rico. The object Of her visit was TO
await orders. She left about an hour after
wards. Customs assistant r.. Petersen went
off on behalf of the port-authorities Ibid.
About 8 o'clock Saturday night a cruiser
came up opposite the wharf and began to
search the seoboard with her searchlights.
During this operation only q few lights
were observed on the ship which seemed
pretty large. Her two masts were plainly
dlscernible III the moonlight, and we are
tod some Gendormes with a glass made
out 4 tunnels. Having satisfied herself
that the object OF her search, which eyi-
IDENTITY was the cable ship, was not to be
seen, the cruiser e&tingujshing light sailed
away to the South in the wake of the cable
ship.
It is generally believed HE ship was the
French cruiser "C6nde''. Some one from
the North Side Saturday afternoon reported
having abseryed a man-of-war with 1 fun

ans called on Governor Stuart sew

Before giving it, the Governor got
! into communication with the Turk

received reply from Ambassador
(Youssouf Zia Pasha repudiating tine
claims of the Syrians.
"The Imperial Ottoman Empire IN
no way recognizes the persons men
toned by Your Excelleney as au'

dor.
The ambassador went on to say
in his reply that the Syrians II

/ No direct accusation of crookednes:

they are not the accredited repre-
