ARREST OF THE U. S. VICE Consul IN
CUBA From the special correspondent. OF
the New Orleans Picayune, dated Havana,
March l7'h, we copy as follows:
Mr.. Thompson, United States vice-con.
sui or commercial agent, a. Ssgua Ia Grande,
was brought 10 this city yesterday by two
Of The civil guardians prisoner. Howev-
er, upon going before the Captain General,
he was discharged, but is forced to remain
in Havana 10 take his trial before one of the
tribunals.
Mr.. Thompson was employed by the U.
States Consul q. Trinidad de Cuba to &C. as
consular agent al Ssgua Ia Grande. Some
days since the police authorities q. this lat
ter place demanded TO know by what RICH,
he placed the arms of The United States over
the door of his Office. lie replied that he
was The United States Consular Agent. His
appointment, was then asked for, which, no,
wishing to appear discour,eous, he produce
ed. He was then ordered 70 take down the
United States arms, which he refused 10 do
A quarter of an hour was then given him
for .ha. purpose. After the lapse of rather
more than ,ba, time, the authorities again
re,ured and ordered the arms 10 be taken
down.
Mr.. Thompson asked for time to consult
the United States Consul al Trinidad, which
reasonable reques. was refused. Upon his
expressing his determination no. TO remove
The United States coat Of arms, ladder was
procured by the police, and The Goa. of arms
was by them taken down, and notice
was given to Mr.. Thompson 10 prepare him
self within two hours TO proceed TO This CT.
~. He asked for longer period to arrange
his affairs, which was refused him, and a,
the lapse Of that time he was compelled to
come q prisoner 10 this city, having had 10
ride sixty miles on horseback before he
reached the railroad, the Guardian Civiles,
whose prisoner he was, changing a. each
par,ido.
True it is tina. Spain refuses to recognize
the United States Consular Agents in this
island; but, nevertheless, were Mr.. Thomp-
son only a simple citizen Of the United
States. such treatment as Is above related is
unius,ifable. Spain ough. to be laugh. ,hs,
the authorities Of Cuba must act ss civilized
men, otherwise no one protesting alleg lance
10 the Un!ed States will be able TO live
here.
