ADVENTURES OF A NIRGINIAN IN CUBA
The New York papers chronicle the arrival IN
that city Of Mr.. George Aab, who has been Tor
some time past imprisoned by the Spaniards in
Havana for sympathy with the rebelllOus
Cubans. Mr. Aab is Vrginian having been
born 10 Richmond in 1887. Since 1861 ne has
resided in Cuba, being employed by wealthy
Cuban planter as engineer In charge OF an I'M
mense sugar plantation near Ciontuegos.
On the 3Oth OF June Mr. Aab was. arrested
by Spanish cavalrymen, who broke into his
room and robbed him OF $3.50 in gold, besides
other vaiuabes They accused him of treason,
threatened to execute him Immediately, and
ordered him to kneel with his back turned
towards seven men stationed opposite with
loaded carbiues. He refused either to kneel
or turn his back claiming protection on ac-
count of his American citizenship. This de-
mand saved his life. -,
He was, however, cast into dungeon until
the DIST of last month. During that time he
was halt naked, and the cell was damp and
moudy from continual rain. Finally, Oh the
demand of the US. Consul, he was taken
from prison, but instead OF being released was
placed, heavily ironed on board of Spanish
transport. There his Imprisonment continued
TWO days, when De Rodas released him and
gave him permit to go to New York, where
he now is.
