They th n demanded the rudmon-j. er\* pipers, which tie Captain had to take on board th * cruiser for rxnminaUoti. IV Spanish commander was rv**n going so far as to break open the letters of the consignees, but desisted when (* tptuin S, insisted noon his returning them intact. They also broke open the hatcle s, and took out about a third of the HchooicTs cargo ; but not finding any ainmuui-tion or guns on board, put it back again. This w is done after the papers had been examined ^ and found correct. \0**r detaining her twenty-tour hours, anchored close under thmr gun*, th** schooner w is allowed to proceed, and get out of the ret f tie* b« st way she could. This f‘ however, w as not allowed, until Captain S. had0 promised to satisfy a d unind of thirty dollars r- for safely piloting him inside the relt; f.
