The Milwaukee Sentinel of yesterday published the following, getting its points from the insurance men: "The differences between the underwriters who held risks on the schooner Barbarian, wr< Beaver Island last .summer, and Thomas Hood, her owner, have not vet been settled. It will be remembered that tiie Barbarian, which was insured for her entire value, while bound down from Escanaba with a cargo of-ore, went ashore on Beaver Island. Mr. Hood, without making any attempt to release, endeavored to abandon her to the underwriters, but the latter refused to accept her, and Mr. Hood was forced, after a delay of several days, to send the wrecking tug Leviathan to her. The Leviathan succeeded in releasing her in a considerably 1 damaged condition, and she was allowed to remain at this port some time before re. paired, as the underwriters could come to no || agreement with Mr. Hood, as the latter desired to j -get the vessel off his hands and obtain his insurance money; but the insurance companies refused this and offered to repair the vessel for Mr. Hood, which he finally agreed to. Yesterday Messrs. Schuyler and Cramer, of Chicago, attorneys for the underwriters, and W. H. Condon, representing Mr. Hood, and Mr. Hood himself, arrived from Chicago, and during the day took the testimony of Captains J. w. Tuttle and J. Humph] olm Blend, Joseph Walter, and John Benntog, »e two latter employes of Wolf & Davidson, at hose yard the craft was repaired, as to the con-Ition of the vessel and the repairs made on her Idle at this port.
