Uny,Styfadle arrest and Imprisonment of an Aneri-
can Resident in 1fataneas.
Since my last nothing Of interest or, at any rate,
nothing worth communications to you, has occurred
at this place; and ! should not have troubled you
with this letter were it not that anxious that
you should be made acquainted with the circum.
stances under which Mr.. William Sims was, few
days ago. arrested, and is still confined in the COM
mon jail of this city, in order that his numerous
friends in the States may not become alarmed about
him, from false or exaggerated accounts Of his i'm
prsonment. Mr.. Sims is an elderly gentleman, Of
about sxtyfve years ofage possessed ofconsiderable
property in and about Matanzas, where he has re-
sided upwards of forty years. Ola very benevolent
disposition he endeared himself to all Americans as
well as foreigners from the kind interest which he
took in the fate of our countrymen who were SO un-
justly imprisoned here during the famous or rather
notorious, intended instruction of the negroes in
tins jurisdiction, trumped up by the minions Of
O'Donnell, in the year 1874
From his advanced age and great respectability,
Mr. Sims is looked up to as sort Of father, to
whom Americans, as well as Epglishmen in all
their difficulties, resort to for counsel and advice

who has just arrived here from Spain, was witness
to the act, and, knowing Mr.. Sims to be well off,
Immediately arrested the old gentleman and took
him to Jail, where he has been now UPWARDS of seven
days, confined in a room with about fifty or sixty
murderers, robbers, and assassns of all shades and
