[Telegram.]

[83] *New York, July 1, 1869.

The Attorney-General, Washington:

The Mahoning has seized, at Milford, Connecticut, the schooners Fancy and Winona, belonging to the expedition. The Winona has its arms and ammunition on board. The Fancy has discharged most of its cargo of arms, and it is now on the dock at Milford. It is out of my jurisdiction, and will you telegraph at once to the nearest marshal to go to Milford and seize it? Let me know.

FRANCIS C. BARLOW,
United States Marshal.
