Straits would soon break up so they could
pass up through. He expected to find the

| Suit for False imprisonment.

| an American citizen of Cuban birth, who
arrived by the steamer City of Washington
from Havana, has just began suit for dam
ages against the Spanish Government for al
legged damages resulting from arrest, false
imprisonment and other outrages committed
upon him by the Government authorities of
Cuba.
New YORK, July 26th.-Pedrahita thinks
CAPTAIN Curtis and MIR. Mckee did not sus-
tain the honor of the American flag by per-
hitting arrests to be made on board the
steamer Pedrahita complains that he suf
fered very much during his imprisonment, as
he could neither eat nor sleep, and was COM
PEELED to pay exorbitant prices for the neces-
saries of life during his imprisonment. For
all this Pedrahita claims damages of $780,,
600, as he was about starting in an extensive
terfered to such extent with his business as

The Spanish COURAGE" Business Not
Yet Settled.
CHICAGO, July 26th.-The inter Ocean's
Washington special says: Colonel John Hay,
| Assistant Secretary of State, denies the re-
port that this Government was satisfied with
| the Spanish explanation OF firing upon our
vessels. This Government holds that the
statements of the Captains and crews of the
| fruiters fred upon are more worthy OF belief
| than the assurances of the Spanish Govern
ment, and if these statements are backed by
affidavits, PREPARATION will be demanded in
spite of the declarations of the Spanish au-
| thorities. They have sent to Philadelphia
| for these affidavits, and expect that the Cap
tains will send them in support of their
statements as to the firing and the distance
they were from shore. If it is established in
this way that the vessels were over one league
from shore when the event occurred, Spain
must make the amende honorable.
Exodus of Negroes from Kentucky into
Indiana.
| INDIANAPOLIS, July 26th.-The Louisville
Courier Journal is excited over what it calls
the exodus of negroes from Kentucky into
! Indiana to vote the Republican ticket That
many colored people are leaving Kentucky
| for Indiana is true, but that there is any po-
litical design in the movement is utterly
false. The fact is that the colored men of
| Kentucky are just beginning to find out that
their condition in that Democratic State is
almost az bad as it was before slavery was
abolished, and that they can greatly better
their condition by going north. There is
growing exodus movement IN Kentucky, e.
| pecially from Nelson and adjoining counties,
and the only explanation is the fact that in
! Kentucky they are oppressed and deprived OF
all the ordinary privileges of citizenship,
while in Indiana and other Northern States
they can find employment at fair wages and
are treated like human beings.

and that nothing significant has happened.
If anything important has occurred he is con.
ident the Commission would have advised

not a word had been heard from them.
