SHAMEFUL BEHAVIOUR OF A CUBAN OFFICIAL ON

would appear that the grave Of the issue now

effect in awakening the Cuban officials to the necessity Of
observing something like decent behavior in their in
tercourse with American citizens The following facts
have been communicated to me by gentleman who has
just received the information.
Capt Dickey, of the brig Stirling which was lately lost

Port soon after board, and put number Of
questions respecting the origin and extent of the fire. He
appeared greatly nraged and staggered up and down
the deck talking loudly and abusvey and whirlng his
about in threatening manner. He sought the
steward and questioned him closely these points, and
although the latter answered him in the most respectful
manner, through the interpreter he gave way to vio
lent burst Of temper, and struck the Flesh and
blood could not stand this and the steward observing
hatchet lying at little distance from him the deck,
by way of threat than anything else called out to
sailor in Spanish to hand 1t to him. The latter, not
understanding word OF the language of did not

outrage by striking the again with his fst After
stamping up and down the deck in the most theatrical
manner and threatening that he would fine Capt Dickey
five hundred dollars he finally left the vessel init

self cvily he would throw him overheard. 1t is
pity that the threat not carried into execution

they cannot insult and outrage citzens with pu
