M irch 14.—Tbs yacht Pedro Pablo, which arrived here yes terday from New Tor's via Norfolk and Wilmington, Is lying it Rourke's dock undergoing repairs ,and will veil ns soon as the repairs are completed. There to no suspicion attached o the yaoht, and she 1* not under surveil lance. She la a new vessel, '.rd Is be ing used for towing logs. As I* cus tomary with all arrivals of ..outhbound yachts she was Inspected by the cus tom# officers. Her Spanish name and the fact that she Is on her way to Cuhi gave rise to s rumor tolay that she was to take on board a number of suspicious boxes lying at her dock. The customs authorities were sent for and the boxes were found to contain steam pipe be tossing to repair shop*. Neither ihe customs authorities nor the Spanish consul her* have received any Instructions In regard to either Pe dro Pablo or the British steamship I Elilott, which has cleared for Costa Rica for fruit. The Elliot ht* been run ning between Savannah and Rluefields for a year, and until a couple of mon’hs ago, when »he was laid up awaiting a charter. There Is no repre sentative of the Costa Rican govern ment here, and R. Salas telegraphed the consul-general In New York for authority to give the vessel a bill He was instructed to do so. and to see that nothing contraband was on board. The Elliott will sail In a day or two. The customs authorities are annoyed by sensational reports that have been a»nt out from here in regard to the alleged auspicious character of the *°«g Ttio Rebels to th© of t Troops Pofiitl Now York, March 14.—Capt. Crewman of tbe steamer Alllanca which waa fired on by a Spanish gun boat near the east ern point of Cuba while on her. last trip front Colon, has received the following letter from the departmeat. of atato at Washington: To Oapt. Jamrs Crossman, Command er of the Alliance—Sir; I hAve rettived your letter ot March, without date, but which reached the department trday, March IS, which reports the clrcum- stsnees under which the above named steamer on her homeward voyage from Colon, Colombia, to New York, off tbe north Cuban coast on the Sth Instant, was fired upon by a Spanish gun boat. “The department desires to receive from you s statement of the facts In the form of an affidavit, accompanied. If poa- •IN* hv a sketch chart showing the course of the Alliance In passing Capo Maysl and the distance of the vessel from tbs nearest point on (he Island of Cube. "The affidavit should be explicit on these two points. Awaiting such, I am air, your obodient servant, "Edwin F. Uhl,' AcUng Secty." Capt. Croasman said he would send a chart to the state department showing alter* the attack occurred. It was tn latitude jnrw north, longitude 11.16 we«t. He said he knew his vessel was at least four miles off Caps Maysl, which Is the extremest point of Cuba. Cap't. Cross- man continued: “The man-of-war which attacked us eras broad off our port quarter. I will say right b*re, and this Is a statment Which I have not made before, had the man-of-war signalled us with the Inter national code I would have stopped Im mediately. She showed no. such signal, however. Her fire war practically command, and 1 am not a man to take orders from anybody axcept my superior officers.'' A little moro In regard to the Identity of the Spanish man-of-war was learned this morning. Capt. Crossman aatd that hs could plainly ■** that she had a cop per bottom. In the- opinion rf the **■ petlenced teamen thta Indicates that Ss must have been a wooden hulled ship, for copper bottoms sre always as a rate used only on wooden ships. If that be so tbs AManca waa evidently one of Spain's old ships, for Spain has not built a wooden ship within tha past ten years The state department should therefore, the maritime circle think*. have little dlf- flcitty in discovering the identity of the man-of-war.
