S,,rs Of an american Vessel By the Spanish Coo
srnment-Arrest aud imprisonment Of three Of
the CreC-Rernonstrdnce of the American Con
sul-The Captains Protest, etc.
Captain Clark of brig Joseph Albion, arrived
this morning, from SagIa La Grande, sends US
the following statement, eEer his signature: =
ssThe brig Lucy Watts, Capt Watts, OF War
.en, Maine, while loading Of the port OF Sagua
Ia Grande, was visited, by order Of the Spanish
Government, and one Of her seamen taken out
Of her, on the grounds that he was O deserter
from Spanish man of War.
The day following, the Captain was ordered
to present himself at the town with two more of
his crew, Ekioh he did, and these two men were
also taken from kim and put in prison along
with the first man taken, while the Captain
could get no answer to his inquiries why this
was done.
Capt Watts applied to the American Consul
ar AGENT residing IN Sagua, and he addressed a
letter to the authorities, asking that the men
should be restored to the vessel, and stating
that the captain was prevented from loading
his vessel, and that he should make . protest a
gAinst the act.
The answer the Consul received was, that the
/ authority which took the men from the vessel
vas competent to take men from the vessel OF
| any nation, and that the men would not be sent
| On board again, and that if Capt. Watts made
! any protest, he would render himself liable to
| te taken from his vessel, put under arrest, and
/ cent to Havana.
/ Capt Watts did make his protest, but when
| The Lucy Watts left it was not known what the
| result would be, though it was certain that the
vessel would not be allowed to leave unless she
paid all the expenses of the imprisonment of
her men, as well as those mentioned in taking
aem from the vessel to the town, which is some
~ miles from the bay.
These facts can be proved by all the masters
vessels then lying in the port of sagua la
Gfande, and the protest of Capt. Watts was
Agned by some ten Of them.
