San Fbaucisoo, Oct. 22.- The bark Adalguisa, from Callao for Humboldt, has put into this port in a dlsabled condición. She was launched in ISÖtS and sinee that date, the crew say, not a cent has been epent for repairs. Mate Richard Eobert says the bark ovrners, Bucheli and Leero, delibératela planned to wreek the ship, which was heavily insured, and to drown the crew. He says the sailors were all shipped tmder üctitious ñames, so they could never be traced. The ship was provided with dummy provisions, and water for only thirty days. The bark sailed from Callao on July 29, and if rain had not supplied water the crew must have perished with thirst. A big box labcled provisions, when opened contained nothing but scraps of iron, Bnavtng and oll eans. Every man in the crew is of a different nationality. When they arrived in port thcy were fearfully emai iated with banger. The mate says the only sound thingabout the bark is the ship's boat. in whieh the owners planned that the captain and mate would escape.
