THE DISTINGUISHED ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
OF TwEED'S ARREsT-FULI EXPLANATIONS
OF FORMER TELEGRiNS.
| MADRID, September 1.-THE following
are additional! particulars OF Tweed's ar.
rest Captas..s,= General Jovellar, at Havana,
received intelligence tn. . Tweed had dis
embarked at Santiago de Cuba, and notified
the authorities there. Before the latter
could take action Tweed embarked on
board the vessel Carmen, bound to Vigo.
Captain General Jovellar then telegraphed
to the Madrid Government, which, fearing
TIE Carmen might 60 to some other port,
requested the authorities at all Spanish
ports to examine persons on board OF all
vessels named "Carmen." There are
twelve Spanish vessels OF that name.
The portrait of Tweed being indis-
pensable for his Identification, the
Spanish authorities obtained and made
copies of carricature in an American
journal representing him as beating child,
supposed to typify American justice. This
carricature misled the Spanish authorities,
with reports of Spanish papers, to believe
that Tweed had been kidnapping children.
Hence on the first official announcement re-
ceiyed here Of the arrest OF +" Tweed Ante
line" which is supposed to have been te-
legraphic corruption of Tweed, American,
it was stated that he had been arrested for
kidnapping American children. Tweed is
still confined on the Isle Of Saint Sinian, IN
Vigo bay, where he is undergoing quaran-
tine. .n5'.' ~ ''''s
He is strictly watched by custom-house
guard. At the expiration OF his quarantine
be will be surrendered to the United States
representatives. AS there are no direct
steamers between Spain and North America
Tweed will be sent to Cuba, and from there
to New York. r.,asif-.[ft. ie
