SANTA ANrA.-This celebrated Mexican general
is still residing IN retired manner, near Havana
correspondent Of the Kingston Us) Journal has
commL pcated an anecdote to which, although not
interesting, We give place in columns He says
that ON Friday night last man disc in the
premises Of General Santa Anna carrying away bog
belonging to one Of the Generals servants The fell
low was captured, and the of the box was for
taking his prisoner to the cage but Santa Anna pro-
posed that he should be secured for the night nd
In the morning. he could be lodged in the the
authorities. The box therefore taken away from
him. and at the suggestion Of the General he was we'll
tied to tree in such that there was no dou b
Of his security. The General seemed. however, to
have had some doubts, for he got up than nee
during the night to satisfy himself that the fellow
tsfe About Two O'clock he again left his bed to have
another look ut his prisoner but To- and behold his
bird had flown and what was surprising he had
also taken away the box with him. How the thief
mayed to have unloosed himself and made his way in.
TO the very place wherein the property he had first
stolen was placed after being taken away from him
then to steal second time, tell but the
fellow who Is supposed to be Creole had completely
outwitted the Mexican
