United States, Great Britain and Germany
are getting tired of all these family quar-.
rels, and don't know but what 1t will be
a good thing to take over the island any
way. Now off with you, and don't let me
hear Of any of you breaking the rules"
So the two armies went over the noun
tain and arrayed themselves on the plateau.
The cheering populace scrambled for good
seats on the mountainside and, led no doubt
by such adventures as Capt. Boynton,
howled themselves hoarse until 1t got too
dark to fight any longer. / don't remem-
Der who won that war.
The point is that such affairs we're to
the Captain as vegetables are to the green
goods grocer. Trouble was the Captains
bedfellow and waking companion. Either
he was in trouble with the United States
Government or he was stirring up trouble
for some other Government He had
scouts and read every word of the Central
American and South American news dis
patches. THE New York HERALD was his
favorite newspaper, because 1t had more
complete intelligence from Central and
South America and the West Indies.
The exploit that won for the Captain his
greatest amount of newspaper notoriety
was his financing of the enemies Of Cipri-
ano Castro, then President of Venezuela.
The Captain began fomenting a revolution
against Castro and even went to the ex.

Washington, raised such row about 1t
that the Captain was indicted by the Fed

Blackwell's Island for that.
Who Was This Wild Captain
With Several Aliases?
At least one book has been written about
the Captain and there is room for several

so years old. He participated in the civil
war on the side of the North, and 1t is my
honest opinion that his commanding Of
fcer was as much worried about the Cap
tain as he was about the enemy. The Cap
tain was like that. l do not think his
name was Boynton; I'm not sure that it
was. He was known variously-James
Stuart Henderson, Capt. John Kinnear and
George Mcfarland.
In May, 1906, the Captain appeared in
New York as the local agent for the ORR

Captain and Cipriano were on the outs 1t
was hard to believe that the Dictator Of
Venezuela was az bad as the Captain would
have us believe.
The Captain had allied himself with two
OF Castro's edecessors--Crespo and An
drada. He possessed and exhibited rather
fearlessly warrant engraved in Spanish
which he declared to be the permission OF
the anti-Castro outfit to him to coin their
revolutionary money. He desired $4,000,
which sum, he explained to those who
would listen, would purchase the dies and
the necessary machinery to turn out bolt
vars Of the same weight and value as the
Castro money. Then he was to procure
$4,000 in silver bullion, with which he
could turn out $4,000 in Venezuelan coin.
The rest would be simple. With the $20.
900 thus obtained he would make $4,000
