Commander of Yorktown notified naval commandant that he was going to send by mail steamer the refugees he has on board. Having asked instructions, the naval commandant replied to him that the Government did not give safe-conduct to the refugees. They will understand the contingencies to which they are exposed by embarking in merchant vessels or in mail steamers.
