A recent telegram from Key West
announces the arrest In Havana and
the incarceration in Cabanas Fortress
OF Senior Ramon de Armas. This gem
tlcman, who Is more than seventy
years of age, has for very many years
occupied very high position In the
island rs lurist, his reputation as such
being second to none in the Antilles
He has at various times discharged the
duties of alcalde major first district
judge in Havana. In the beginning
of 1869 NJ. de Armas, after suffering
innumerable prosecutions at the hands
of the Spaniards, emigrated to Mexico.
While in Vera Cruz his popularity and
abilities procured for him the position
of first district judge ofthat city. Lately
the MeXicans adopted a law whereby
no one could hold Office unless he Were
native of the country. This threw
Nj. de Armas out of u lucrative and
honorable office. He was on his way
back to his native Cuba, intending to
reside there peaceably for the remain
der of his days, when summarily
thrust into prison by the minions of
Spanish power. The Spanards must
indeed be In sore want of victims
when they could cease to remember
the respect and consideration due to Il
man of NJ. dc Armas' years, social
standing and acknowledged great abil-
tiles,
