FURTHER DISCLOSURES.  The New York Herald of Wednesday publiThes a despatch from St. Thomas stating that the man arrested at Puerto Cabello says he left Dublin ou the night of May 6th, and on May Bth shipped a: Swansea, under the name of O'Brien, on board the tl:que Gladstone, bound for Caracas. He states he had three accomplices.  The Press Association Swansea correspondent reports the following partitmlars concerning the man O'Brien, alias Westgate, which confirm the statement of his having shipped on board the barque Gladstone at Swansea :—lt appears that about the date named he accosted a ship runner close to the canal at Swansea, and asked tor a boarding-house, explaining that he had but little money. The runner asked him if he was a fireman, and he answered that he was both a fireman and a sailor. He lodged for two days at the Museum Hotel, Strand, Swansea, the landlady of which describes him as very dirty, poor, and mentally depressed, and that he avoided speaking to any one. He was shipped on the Gladstone as a pierjamper. When leaving he gave the address of his wife in Dublin, arranging that part of his wages should be sent to her, and this has been done. He admitted to the landlady of the Museum Hotel that he was a native of Dablin. A singular complication has arisen in connection with Westgate's visit to Swansea. Mr. Williams, an officer of the Board of Trade, shortly after the Phconix Park murders, saw a suericions looking man loitering about the doors of the mercantile marine offices at Swansea. He entered into conversation with him, and found that he not only answered the newspaper description of the men wanted in Dublin, but that he was a native of Dublin, and just arrived from that city. He appears to have shipped on board the Nova for Leghorn, in the name of • Evans, but on a blot he was arrested by Detective Jones, of the Swansea police, and then gave his real name as Harwin, stating that his mother resided at Warrenpoint, county Dublin. The Swansea police described him by telegraph to the Dublin police, who replied that a man named Harwin, giving the very addrees quotes, had been arrested in Dublin on suspicion, but had boon discharged as there was no evidence against bins. Harwin then admitted to the Swansea police that he had been arrested in Daalin as stated. He was eventually discharged from the custody of the S-vansea police, and proceeded to Leghorn. It now appears that he and Westgate were seen together in S manna, and Harwin, wile) is supposed to have deserted from the Gladstone in the name of Evans, had his place fi lei at the last moment by Westgate. Westgate' confession is in keeping with the statemeat made some time ago by O'D mann Rssa, to a newspaper correspondent, that the perpetrators of th 3 Phoenix Park crime had found temporary refuge in South Wales, from where it was likely they would ship to South Ameriea. A special correspondent at Swansea, states that enquiries prove that there could not possibly have been any collusion between a man named Robert Evans, who, having signed articles to sail in the barque Gladstone, failed to put in an appearance, and the man Westgate, now under arrest in Venezuela, who filled his place. Robert Evans is a young Welehman, and has not been seen In the locality since the ship left. The men Irvine or Harwin, who had been detained in Dab:in on suspicion, was not, it is stated, seen in conversation with Westgate daring the time both were in Swansea.
