It is obviously heretical work composed
by Oliver Cromwell. 1t was early IN the

present Don Carlos, the Marquis Yelasco,
the MARQUIS Ponce de Leon, the Viscount
Montserrat, the great Cuban leader Carlos

General of Cuba"

Azamat Batuk have taken refuge in Castle

The report that Tweed lad been arrested
was generally discredited among the babl
tues of the Fifth Aycnuc Hotel, tue -1of
man House, the Monument House, ant
other places where politicians are wont tc
concregate. Ex-Sheriff O'Brien was found
at Gilmore's Garden. He said: "Nobody
so far as l have been able to learn, believe;
that there is word OF truth in the dis
patch" This view was concurred In D!
Alderman Bryan Reilly, who happened tt
be present, and who said: SITS an mum
bug, in my opinion, every word OF IT,"
General Frank Spinola (Tammany), Jean.

Tammany) was encountered walking VI
Fourth avenue.
"What do you think about this report?'
asked the reporter.
"There's nothing in it," replied the Gen
eral.
"Then you don't think that Boss Tweed
is very likely to come home on that arrest
in Spain, eh?"
"rhe devil! No. What do you s'post
they're going to arrest him there for? W.
haven't an cXtradition treaty with Spain.'
"But they might arrest him for all that
"Thc rumor is ridiculous" said Mr.
Mynan.
Yes" added the General with emphasis
" it's not only absurd, but it's roorback
Tweed is in this city now, and there's nc
necessity for going to Spain for him. Coco
evening, sir" saying which the General an(

to be caught in such trap" r. ,a
One Of Tweed's old friends laughed when
his attention was called to the dispatch.
"Why," said he, "the old man was heard
from within the last two weeks, and at that
time he was in excellent health and consid-
cred his hiding-place secure one. He is

party in Spain supposed to be Tweed. Some
thine ago the presence Of Tweed in Spain

Government IN an unofficial way. AS, there
is no eXtradition treaty between the two
countries no final application Tor his arrest
