BAHIA HONDA. & Horald Schooner Stopped by the Spaniards. SPICY INCIDENT OF THE. SURRENDER. Our Correspondent Under the Guns of Fort Murillo. No Persons or Vessels Allowed to Communicate with the American Despatch Boat. Key West, Dec: 18, 1873. You have already published the story of he famous “surrender’’ of the Virginius,-but you have not yet heard of the adventures and Gifficulties of one of your special corre- pondents charged with the duty of attending ‘and reporting the historic event. Let me tell ‘them with telegraphic point and brevity. @HE HERALD SCHOONER OFF FOR BAHIA HONDA. In anticipation of the surrender at Bahia onda one of: your special correspondents ere had chartered a schooner of 80 tons, galled the Nonpareil, and, with proper crew and {pilot} set sail for the scene of the surrender. after a successful trip, with no untoward taccident, our little schooner, floating the ‘American flag and the flag of the New Yore Herat, reached the entrance to the harbor of Bahia Honda. THE ARRIVAL AND OVERHAULING. A boat from Fort Murillo, commanding the ®orbor, put out for us, and soon it was evi- Ment that their intention was to intercept and prevent us from entering the harbor. The ‘officer commanding the boat called out to us $0 turn back, otherwise the guns of THE FORT WOULD OPEN FIRE and perhaps sink us. This fort mounts some fheavy guns, which we could plainly see pointed toward us, while officers and men bwere moving about in a threatening manner, evidently preparing to let their guns spit fire @nd ball at us in case we refusgd to obey the §peremptory and despotic orders to put back. Kit. is a tort that perhaps would be able to de- tmolish an eighty-ton schooner at short range, pout it would afford a fine target for our Amer- Scan monitors to play upon in case of actual Qhostilities. Here was a curious fix. ® WHAT WAS TO BE DONE? g Only about a mile anda half distant from us we could see the Virginius and the*De- patch, both now flying the American flag. ‘Our object was so to manceuvre with the little WNonpareil as to attract the attention of the Gmerican naval officers on board either ves- sel. Our little craft turned and scudded wbout the channel. making signals of distress, but all ix vain. We failed to catch the atten- Bion of the officers on the Despatch and Vir- ginius. F A VERY WARLIKE WARNING. Meantime one of the guns of Fort Murillo ras deliberately pointed at us, in readiness to wpen fire, and some of our crew not liking the faspect of affairs and considering this extra Bhazard not “down in the bond,’ demanded orders to retreat, QO COMMUNICATION WITH AMERICAN WAR SHIP. In this emergency your correspondent asked Bhe commander of the boat from Fort Murillo Yor permission to speak with the American Mespatch boat, but this was also refused by hoe Spanish officer. Not yet relinquishing Bhe idea of entering the harbor, the order to Betreat was givén, and we sailed ont into the Gulf, resolved to return at the first favorable @pportunity. A SECOND UNSUCCESSFUL EFFORT TO GO IN. After some time spent in tacking about in the waters of the Gulf we wore ship and made nother effort to enter the harbor. Again we endeavored te attract the attention of our own @aval officers, put again in vain. As we e@pproached Fort Murillo we were brought to ®y.a boat from the fort, filled with Spanish soldiers. On coming alongside our schooner éhe officer in command of the Spanish boat ordered us to sea in the most menacing man- wer. WATER AND PROVISIONS DEFUSED. Your correspondent asked this despotic officer for permission to send ashore for water and provisions. To this the Spanish officer replied that he could not give this permission without consulting the commandant at the fort. ONE OF THE HUMILIATED DONS. The latter, on application being made, de- Clared that nothing could be supplied from the fort. : Your correspondent suggested that the ne- cessary supplies could be obtained from the little American vessel'representing our navy. The commandant sharply answered that he-could allow no communication whatever qvith that war vessel, CorresronDENt—Will you even allow one of her boats to board us? Commanpant—No; there must be no com- munication whatever, I repeat. My orders here are imperative. HIGH PRICED PROVISIONS. Alter a good deal more talking and excited gesticulating on the part of tho Dons our little Nonpareil was finally allowed to obtain $1 50 worth of vile water and $3 worth of Spanish biscuits. With this luxurious supply we were ordered off to sea immediately, and warned fot the Inst time that if we delayed most as- NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, suredly we would be fired intoand sunk by the guns of the fort. REPULSED WITH THE STRONG HAND. Under these circumstances there was no alternative but to bow to superior force and withdraw from too dangerous proximity to the threatening fort. As we sailed out we could plainly discern from our deck the three vessels in the harbor—the diminutive De- spateh, the Virginius and the Spanish sloop- of-war. We could see the unostentatious, almost stealthy, ceremonies of transfer taking place—no_ witnesses, no salute, no crowd, no humiliation for the disgraceful outrage on our flag and sovereignty. : If this be reparation and satisfaction, most certainly the Burriels of the ‘Ever Faithful” will have much’ consolation.

Third Di f the Fall Racing Meeting at New Orleans—Fred Bonnabel the Winner of the Hurdle Handicap, Cape Race the Three Mile Dash and Edwin Adams the pelling Race. New ORLEANS, Dec, 18, 1873. The third day of the fall meeting of the Louisiana Jockey Club was attended by most delightful weather, an ample programme of spirited sport and @ large number of spectators at the course, although racing patrons always fight shy towards the close of our meetings, seemingly tnclined to hold themselves in reserve for the great four mile event, which for more than 37 years has been brought’ out on the iast day of eagh semi-annual mecting. The track was in splendid condition, and an increased activity in pool sales last nighG evidenced a vigorous revivalin the public interest, which it is believed will culminate in a triumphant climax on Saturday, when the meeting will close. THE FIRST RACK on the card was a handicap two mile dash, bring- ing out a field of six starters, viz.:—Fred Bonna- bel, Meta H., Donnybrook, Vidal, Port Leonard and Mary L, Donnybrook was a hot favorite, selling for more than the others combined—Meta being second choice and Harrison's entries third... The wise ones were badly taken in, as the favorite, Starting in at the dith piace, remained there through the race, only managing at the finish to cut Mary L. out of the fourth place by @ neck, The start was an exceilent one, Bonnabel being first away and Port Leonard second. At the finish of the first mile Mary L. had gone to the front, Bonnabel having been pulled back to the fourth place, Leonard second and the tavorite a bad fifth and running his best, Time of @ mile, 1:51, Going rouud the upper turn Port Leonard went up to Mary L., and both ran gown the stretch head and head, At the half mile Bonnabel took up running and with ease took the lead. At the three-quarters Port Leonard remained second, the pace bein too hot tur Mary L., who fell away to the four place, and Meta came into the third position. this way they ran home, Bonnabel gettin: a strong length advance of Port Leonard, third, Donnybrook fourth, Mary L. filth, and Vidai last. Time, 3:43, SECOND RACE, three mile dash, for all ages. There were six starters:—Bonnabel, the winner of the first race; Cape Race, Tom Aiken, Fannie M,, Wanderer and Carrington. Wanderer, Fannie M., Cape Race and Carrington sold avout even for the first choice, Wanderer having the call. On the sixth attempt the horses were despatched on their journey, Cape Race in advance, Carrington second, Tom Aiken third, Wanderer fourth, side by side with Bonna- bel, and Fannie M. last, In this order they ran to the three-quarter le, when Aiken beat Carrington out of the s id place, and the horses finished the mile as followa:— Cape Race, Tom Aiken and Carrington, with Bonnabel, Fannie M. and Wanderer abreast for the last piace. Time, (mile) 1:52, Enterin; the backstretch in the second mile, Bonnabel dropped to sixth, Fannie M. filth, and Cape Race, ‘Tom Aiken, Wanderer and Carrington in a Ta cluster at the fore. At the finish of the second mile, Cape Race was in the lead, Tom Aiken second, Fannie M. third, Wanderer fourth, Oarrington filth and Bonnabel last, Time, (two miles) 3:42, No change occurred until going gown the backstretch in the last mi when Fannie M. moved up to Tom Aiken, ger chal- ienging him for the second piace beat him out of it at the half mile, while Bonnabel had come up to fourth, Wanderer falling back to fifth, and Carring- je last, having gone lame. One hundred to 10 on ae Race against thegfeld went begging, and the only interest centred inthe race tor the second ghey, between Fanny M. and Tom Aiken, but Fanny M. got home before him by a length, five lengths behind Cape Race, Bonnabel fourth, Wan- derer filth, and Carrington last. Time, 5:343,. THIRD RASE. The day’s sport was brought to a close with a selling race for all ages, mile heats, for which eight starters came to the post. The story of the race ts soon told. Edwin Adams, who sold second, won in two straight heats with consummate ease. In the first heat CAptain Hutchinson was away first, Adams ourth At the half mile Adams began to move up and went at once'to the tront, getting inthe winner by a length, Captain Hutchinson second, General Palmer third. Time, 1:46%. In ane second heat Adams started third, but took the lead on the backstretch and thereaf- ter was not headed, Tom Leathers second and Mephisto third and the balance shut out.
