A Rockland sailor who has Just arrived
home from q voyage TO Cuba relates the fol-
lowing story about an unknown Cuban being
taken from bis vessel:
About two months ago the schooner Cor
nelius Hanrahan of the port of Rockland,
Campbell master. sailed from Philadelphia
for Sagus' lie Grande. China Among the
crew was a sailor, who. although rated as an
ordinary seaman, WAS apparently of a higher
class, and about whom there seemed to be
some mystery. Whoever he was, he sue
eeeded in preserving his incognity until the
arrival of the schooner at Ssgua, when it
soon transpired that the stranger was some
thing other than he had represented himself
to be, and that he had formerly been con-
cerned in the political troubles of the is
land and was regarded as a dangerous per
son by the authorities, In some unknown
way-for the man did not 20 ashore-it be-
came known that he was on board. Fearing
trouble from him. word was sent by the au
thorities to the United States Acting Consul
General At Havana, who issued an order for
his arrest, and msn-of war was sent to ap-
prehend him. On the arrival of the man-of-
war, Captain Campbell at first peremptorily
refused TO give up the man, but resistance
was unava ailing and the sailor was taken into
custody. The arrest was made upon pollti-
cal grounds. the government being actuated
by fear of the mans Influence. What the
result of the arrest was. the mans name, and
the particular offence of which he is accused,
are not known, The Hanrahan is now on
the home voyage, and further particulars can
soon be learned.

docked at IL o'clock Among the passen-
gers was w. II. Haigh, on his way to Port
Hope, Canada. He was of free and easy
disposition, and very fond Of inviting gentle
men to his rooms. He kept large sum of
money and many valuables in a carpet bag
placed at the head of the bed. 1t is believed
that his habit of keeping valuables about
him became known to one of these profess
sional thieves, who followed him from Lon
don. The morning before reaching Halifax,
he reported to Captain Smith that he had
been robbed of f70 in Gold. ego in Bank of
England notes, one large diamond ring, two
single diamond rings, and other jewelry,
worth in all about $4,000. Private papers
of great value were also missing, making
the robbery very extensive one.
The night before he had, as usual, enter
tanned several gentlemen in his state ROOM
Captain Smith ordered the ship and crew to
be searched. and on arriving at Halifax, pro-
cured a warrant and offered so search the
cabin passengers, but to this Haigh objected,
and at last refused to allow it, so that there
is nov no prospect that the money and Jew
may be, bv paying a heavy reward Haigh
left the steamer at Halifax. and cabled home
for more money. This is the first serious
robbery that has occurred on the Allan line
steamers since Sprungly robbed many pas

BAR HARBoR, Me. Feb. %.
A fire broke out last night at O'Clock, at
the foot of Holland avenue. in the house of
w. II. Saunders, jnnk dealer. A hose car
riage was soon on the scene and with the ad-
jacent hydrant the fire was soon extinguished
The inmates, Saunders, his wife and four
children, escaped through window. Saun-
ders and girl of five years were badly
burned on the face and hands. The fire was
caused by an overheated stoveppe The
girls condition is critical. But for the timely
arrival of the hose carriage and the con-
venience of the hydrant the fire would have
spread to the West End Hotel stables and
other adjacent buildings, as heavy gale
was raging.
The little Saunders girl died at twelve
o'clock today. Mr.. Sanders is in critica
condition, but will probably recover. The
family lost everything and are in destitute
condition. Subscription papers are being
circulated and are generously signed.
